'Wonderful Written After Stay at Lake Not long ago your paper printed a delightful editorial recounting the pleasures of fog walking, and later one en titled "Cooking a Frosty Morning." I should like, if I may, to propose a recipe for a wonder ful week end. My week end, naturally, al so involves the out-of-doors and is a little harder to come by than normal fog walking, as it first involves a trip to Lake of the Woods, and our second home there. This win ter, up to a few days ago, the trip could be made with no trouble at all for the pave ment was completely free of ice or snow. In fact, the westside road which has always before been closed by two or three feet of packed snow, was open and actually dusty! Yes, dusty in the dead of winter. Of. course, the cabin was cold, even colder than the 34 degrees outside, but a brisk fire in the cook stove and a big one in the fireplace soon made the rooms very comfor table. Lake Is Framed Now, our picture window looks down through a frame of evergreens to the lake and affords us an excellent view. How beautiful it was with the deep green of the mountains patched with white and the brilliant blue of the sky above. You would think it to be an early morning scene in summer before the wind comes up, for the glare ice re flected images of the trees and larger objects across the lake. But staying in the house was not to our liking, so down the path we went to the ice, and out on the dock. Now, one of our housekeep ing chores was to get some water, so the two men each armed themselves with a crow bar and began chipping a hole m the ice. Last winter, when they did this, they lost a crow bar in 12 feet of water, so this time they were a little more cautious and began operations at a four foot depth. Sure enough, as they broke through the eight inches of ice, down went the bar. It might as well have been in deep water, for who is going fishing in a mere four feet of ice water to get it out now. At least that is one crowbar we will know where to find next summer. Our friends, who had not skated for years, were eager to try their skill. They quick ly put on their skates, and hesitatingly at first, tried a few strokes. Then, as they gained confidence, they made ever-widening circles until they were going along at a fine rate. Ice Is Noisy We were enjoying our selves, too, in a much less ac tive way. Friends had told us how the ice boomed and cracked but we were quite un prepared for the treat we ex perienced. It was like nothing we had ever heard before. Sometimes the ice would snap like a shot, then it would make a swishing sound on a grand scale, which would end in a loud staccato crack. It would moan and groan and in a rising and falling of the pitch, suddenly give out with a terrifying roar. As the sun slid down be hind the mountain and the surface of the ice changed temperature the moans and roars increased until there was a wall of sound rising around us. The booms from some of the louder reports were bounced back and forth from mountain to mountain in a series of echoes and re echoes as thunder does during a summer lightening storm. Indeed, we could hear the roar from the shifting ice even after we had finished our supper and were toasting our selves before the fire. The rflTijon of hr star light on tne ice seemed so brilliant we went back to the ict Our Sicl,on MEDFORD PHARMACY 6th ,1 Ctntnl . . . 772-2!) mens Week End' Recipe lake shore to look at the heavens. What an array! With out the haze such as occurs in the valley, every star sparkled and shimmered until there were truly millions of them spread out before our eyes. Red, green and ice blue lights hung in the blackness as if they might be brilliantly cut diamonds set for our pleas ure. Many Skaters The next morning the sun brought with it more skaters and their warming fires and the higher the sun, the more people until everywhere you could look there were skaters. Some arm in arm were enjoy ing the sport together; some were helping a friend on her first attempt; some, espec ially the younger generation, were cutting all manner of special tricks and leaps. These were a delight to watch, as with effortless grace and fluid motion they per formed their figure eights, their twirls and their high kicks. Soon, a slight figure skated past. This gentleman had a black beret cocked jaun tily over one ear and his hands comfortably clasped be hind his back. His long sweeping strokes marked him as a skater of no mean ability. His skates, too, intrigued us as they were much longer than the ordin ary ones. On his return trip down the lake we could see they were very special skates, indeed. In fact, he and his family were from Holland. He was sadly bemoaning the advice given him in his native country that there was no ice skating in Oregon so he disposed of all of their skates but his. The blade of the skate was straight, not curved at the tip like most of our American-made skates, was at least two inches longer and was set into a strip of hardwood. The whole thing was then held to the shoe by a series of thongs which fit snugly up over the toe and around the heel. You knew the ease and grace with which he glided over the ice had come from many happy hours learning this special skill in his youth. Another car stopped and dogs, children and grown-ups tumbled out in happy con fusion. The boy, a chubby three-year-old, had come fully prepared with a small size football helmet firmly plant ed on his head.

His small sister had two bladed skates on which she could get around fairly well. We had never seen these double skates before and thought to be a fine thing for beginners, especially little tots. Now, you would think skat ing would be about all there is happening, wouldn't you? Well, you had forgotten about the American genius for doing things differently. There were children having great sport on the little motorized go karts. They would blast away with the engines chattering like chain saws and the wheels spinning and would charge across the ice miles an hour. Other ingenious souls bad mounted large gasoline powered fans on sleds and were actually being blown up and down the lake. Imagine one was a two-seater. Others were simply taking their friends for rides in regular kitchen chairs, in boxes, or on sleds. Ice Boat Used Now, those skaters who were pulling sleds were hav ing a ball because they could dig in on the corners and send the sleds careening across the ice in crazy circles. One ice boat had a graceful white sail but as there was no wind, the youngsters were becalmed most of the afternoon. Most precious of all was the lady in the wheel chair. We saw her first happily munch ing hot dogs with her family by the warming fire and next, there she was out on the ice just like anyone else. The loss of a leg was not keeping this woman from enjoying the fun. A small boy pushed her chair out on the ice far from the shore where the most exper ienced skaters had gathered to demonstrate their tricks to music from someone's tran sistor radio. And so, in our recipe for a wonderful week end, we have had quite an astonishing va riety of ingredients roaring ice, scintillating colors In the heavens, warm sunshine, skates from Holland, a -lady in a wheelchair, a toddler squealing with glee at his first sled ride, a playful dog re trieving a fast skidding chung of ice and then chewing it up with obvious relish, and good friends for company. If you only have time to stop and think, really think a minute, you will find you have all the ingredients for a rich and meaningful life. Where else in the world could this happen but right here In Southern Oregon? And, what makes it even better, it is yours for the doing. M. H. the softest shoe that ever deer&h And Water WASHABLE!

House of Dior Returns Sack Dress to Fashion By ALINE MOSBY Unittd Press International Paris - ll'PD - The House of Dior has brought back the "sack dress" and put women , . i n t o w i d e, puffed sleeves. The spring c o 1 lection of designer Marc B o h a n was cheered as "a marvel ous success" and . "a rAtmliitlrtn in dress de AUn Moby signing" by a jam-packed crowd of press and celebrities, Including French actress Danielle Dar rieux. The new Bohan silhouette was called a "radical change in dress construction" by Bo han. He called it the "tapered line" and insisted that it em phasized the bust but did not widen the shoulders, because the sleeves themselves were widened. However, the effect to lay men is of width above the waist. , Other designers this season have emphasized shoulders and wide sleeves, and Dior's new line makes the wide up per look official. Enhancing the bust and giv ing the' high slender waist, without adding width to the shoulders, the Bohan suits un veiled at the crowded grey and white Doir salon had but toned jackets with loose round collars showing the blouse. Skirts were narrow. Some of them had a third back effect, with short easy jackets. In his dresses, super wide armholes highlighted the bust. He also revived 'cylinder dresses" and showed many prints in abstract designs. His long dresses had a gypsy in fluence worn with very short buttoned jackets. His coats were mainly pen cil thin, buttoned and with narrow collars cut away from the neck. He also showed some wider coats, many of them belted with huge arm holes. The main colors in the Dior Gift Exchange Is Scheduled Gold Hill - A homemade Valentine gift exchange will be featured part of the next meeting of the Gold Hill Gar den club. Mrs. J. G.

Bohan also showed a lot of white, usfng lemon yellow and rose for evening. His hostess gowns were ank le length sheaths of linen. He also showed some pajama dresses. Before the show opened, activity was feverish - and that means downright hectic in the fashion world - in the gray-and-white Dior salon on Avenue Montaigne. A multimillion-dollar busi ness was riding on whether the collection was a success. Dior employs about 400 per sons in the Paris salon and its subsidiary salons in New York and London. In addition to selling hand made original fashions to the wealthy women here, Dior sells models to big stores for reproduction, sells ideas to manufactures and also mar kets perfumes, gloves, sweat ers and other ready-to-wear. Paris-UPD-Low-slung waist lines and "dandy" suit jackets were the spring presents of fered to the fashion world by designer Jacques Griffe. The waist goes down to somewhere between hip and the natural waist in the Griffe collection. Many print ed silk dresses had belts be low the waistline. Some were complete belts, others half belts either in front or in back. Enthusiastic buyers busily took notes on the second type of Griffe dress with the dropped waist - a slim top witn fitted, unbelted waist, and box or accordion pleats beginning about two inches below the natural waistline. Most of Griffe's suits were curved in front like the jack ets of a man's cutaway. These "dandy" suits had natural shoulders, quite a change from all the puffs, bell shapes and padding around town. His suit skirts were nar row, except for a slight flare in the back, and just cover ing the knees. The suit jack ets had long sleeves and end ed just below the waistline Most of them buttoned up to small collars at the neck. In other words, they were sensible, wearable clothes minus the eccentricities that have sparked other collections during spring fashion show week. Most of the Griffe coats had coordinated or matching dresses underneath, which is one of the big Paris trends this spring. One of his bp plauded numbers was a nar row full-length black linen coat with curved edges front, dandy style. It was lined with white linen.
