Pappy worked overtime a little thin week to get the weeds out and the oil newly cultivated in the vegetable garden plot and to plant hi corn. What with the cold, wet spring, the garden has been a nas 10 get tne corn planted, it mere s one thing the two of us like on a summer evening (or dinner, it's fresh corn. We don't know how serious he is about this, but Pappy always says that the time to plant corn is when the leaves on the oak trees are about the size of a mouse's ear. When we repeated this to Reporter Eve, she wanted to know if he also burns a turkey feather to find out if there's going to be any more frost. This was one we hadn't heard before, and Eve was a little vague just how one went .about this agricultural rite of feather burning to forecast frost. Potpourri did her share in the garden, too, but part of it was wasted effort. We worked for an hour with a little old butcher knife getting the weeds out of a plot which had reseeded Itself to California poppies and blue larkspur. And then what do you think happened? Pappy came along with the cultivator and plowed the whole business "under! How ever, we kept a respectful silence. Well, until later, anyhow. We learned long ago that when two gardeners work around the same farm, things like this are bound to happen. . Potpourri cut an article out of the Christian Science Mon itor last week to send to Margaret Schuler, our long-time friend spending a year in Rome and writing Veni Vidi. Mrs. S. has been keeping an eye on the recent Italian election, and the Monitor article, by'Walter Lucas from Rome, men tioned significant changes in Italian politics. According to Mr. Lucas, two elements are new in Italian political life. One is television, which he says is widening the "involvement" of the average Italian in politics. The second, he says, is "what amounts to the Vatican's disengage ment from the political battle." Mr. Lucas wrote that the parish priests in Italy are no longer "bound by instructions from above to use the sanctions of the church against those of his flock who vote for the Communists or the Socialists." This was doubly meaningful to us because we read in the Manchester Guardian not long ago an interpretation of the Pope's recent important encyclical. The Guardian writer thinks the Pope believes that in time the Communist and Christian worlds will not be so much in conflict, and that the world can look forward to peace along this line. The Guardian article said: "The Pope's encyclical suggests a much more generous conception of ideological coexistence (than that generally expressed) which implies that event ually both sides should come to acknowledge the goodwill of the other. In a crucial passage in Part V of the encyclical, we are reminded that false philosophical doctrines should not be identified with political movement, even when the movements concerned originated from those teachings and still draw their inspiration from them." The Guardian quoted directly from the Pope's message: "Who can deny that those movements, in so far as they conform to the dictates of right reason and are interpreters of the lawful aspirations of the human person, contain ele ments that are positive and deserving of approval?" . This also recalled an article several years ago in the Unitarian church publication written, as we recall, by Adlai Stevenson. He pointed out that the Catholic and Protestant churches had been able to resolve their conflicts and live in peace, something which many ardent churchmen did not believe possible in times gone by. Mrs. Roberta Frasier, family life specialist on the Oregon State university extension staff, had many interesting things to say when she spoke recently for the Jackson County Home Extension festival. She pointed out the dangers of teenage marriages, saying poorly educated teenagers are unprepared for parenthood and often end up in the divorce courts. Mrs. Frasier also at one point wny is It tnat so many Ameri cans when considering a project or a change ask 'what will it cost' and not 'what will it Multi-Purpose Clothes Most Useful to Women You can't keep today's at home styles at home any more than you can confine the woman who wears them to the kitchen or nursery. The modern housewife leads an active, multi-purpose life and prefers easy-care, mult! - purpose clothes . . suitable for a busy day in doors and out. With this in mind, designer of loungewear have come up with a new approch: "The 24-hour look." As a result, today's lounge wear is cleverly styled so you can slip into it first thing in the morning and be dressed right for the entire day. Some manufacturers have even gone one step further. They have come out with loungewear coordinates that double as pajamas, the Na tional Cotton council reports. These include slim pants and matching overblouscs in col orful combinations that are just as much at home on the beach or patio as in the bed room. Model's Coat A new fashion point of view has been given to such time honored garments as dusters and smocks, which now go under the more fetching title of "model's coats" and are Designed lo double pa lamas or pliywtar is this capri set of cotton llclolh. The striped sleevelets lop with lid button shoulder closing and rounded htm is teamed with solid whit pants. little neglected but Pappy just accomplish? "' u.&. more streamlined in cut. Some have front-button clos ings, while other up-dated versions button at the should er. But all are speedy gar ments to get into and their crisp good looks make you feel well-dressed for doing housework, answering the doorbell, or greeting the chil den when they come home for lunch. Other important looks in loungewear are the shift dress, the tent shape, and the skimmy coat. Anything but hoosedresses, they're young looking with sufficient dash for the beach, for loung ing, or for hostessing. . Just as important as the new styling for loungewear is the new use of fabrics. For these multi-purpose outfits, pastel and flimsy boudoir type fabrics have been hap pily replaced by sturdy, wash able cottons in color-bright prints and stripes with easy care finishes. One outstanding collection of 24-hour loungewear fea tures cotton sailcloth in gay red, yellow, blue, and' white stripes. Other trustworthy fabrics in great poularlty for loungewear are cotton denim, broadcloth, and terry cloth. Gaily striped cotton tail- cloth fashions a straight-line shift, perfect for at-home wear or the beach. This design has side-button shoulder closing and contrasting trim on ths rounded hem. n k.nikm This wood engraving by Mela Hendel, San Francisco, i part of the current ex hibit at Rogue gallery, 220 West Main street.

The Potted Plant informa tion center has a "far out" idea for a spring luncheon. It suggests serving the first course of a garden luncheon in a low red clay pot lined containing an avocado salad filled with cranberry ice. The pot is lined with aluminum foil. If your dinner guests are barbecue fans, you can sup ply individual habachis. Line a number of large 8 to 12 inch clay pots with a double thickness of aluminum foil, set them on a matching red clay saucer and fill with started charcoal briquettes. Each guest can cook his steak, frankfurters or ham burgers on an individual wire barbecue rack. For a children's party, bal loons on wooden sticks can be stuck into small clay pots filled with gravel or vermic ulite. Or, for some lively south-of-the-border fun, fill a large clay pot with candy and suspend it from the ceiling in hanging basket or "pinata" fashion. The first child to break the pot showers the party with the candy treasure. If your guests are gourmets, you can give small red clay pots with growing herbs as party favors. To prevent steel wool or other metal scouring pads from dripping or rusting, store them in small porous clay pots or saucers. For out door picnics, a large. red clay bulb pan makes a handy bread basket. Home hobbyists and house wives also are finding that decorator-designed red clay pots are useful in many ways, "Mm slip I 1 vet .ttra?Km.tl I II v " V g Twice as convenient ... jir 'if twice is aconomical ... -s? ) M this is where you SAVE ' ' ' pj time and money.

Commander Is Rewarded Ashland-During last week's dinner meeting and program of Ashland barracks, Veter ans of World War 1, post and auxiliary, William Beare was presented with a certificate of merit in recognition of his outstanding work as . com mander. W. H. Turner made the presentation. Dr. Wayne Wells, professor emeritus of Southern Oregon college, showed pictures and told of his trip through Af rica. Special guests were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Timmons, who are leaving soon to make their home in California. They were the recipients of gifts and greetings as well as a large decorated cake made by Mrs. E. N. Terrul. Also attending the dinner were past commanders of the Medford post, Thomas Edsall and Charles Myers and their wives. A report of the district meeting held in Tri-City was given and announcement made that W. H. Turner had been elected senior vice presi dent. A girl's attractive figure and an athlete's fine physiqe are the result of wise eating habits. Proper growth de mands increased amounts of protein during teen years. This need can be met by in cluding increased amounts of meat, milk, eggs and cheese. .- jAlr7l MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFOHD. Heat and Eat Fish Products Are Developed Corvallis-New heat and eat fish products that can be stored at room temperrtures may provide hot tasty meals for soldiers stationed at re mote outposts, research on irradiated foods shows at Ore gon State university. OSU scientists developed a heat and eat fish cake last year at the request of the U.S. Army, which was seek ing a seafood product that could be stored without re frigeration for as long as six months. Prefried fish cakes, consist- ine of ground cod patties, are scaled in cans and subjected to irradiation treatments which kill all bacteria . After irradiation, fish is stored at room temperatures for at least six months and tested at intervals for changes in flavor and bacterial activity. A few minutes heating in a pan or hot oven is only prep aration needed before scrv ing. The tests showed that pre cooked fish cakes will with stand very high dosages of irradiation without resulting off-flavors when stored at room temperature. This year, OSU will try to improve the product even more by elim inating the precooking pro cess. Fresh ground cod and ninres nf halibut will be ir radiated, stored, and be bread ed and fried just before serv- ing. Preservation of foods by Ir radiation involves use of dosages of gamma rays which nasspd through the food to kill all bacteria. Irradiated foods are in no way raaio- active" and there is no loss in nutrients. OSU food scientists con ducting the study are R. O. Sinnhuber, T. C. u, mr. Mary Landers, and Mrs. Doro thy Scholz Bisnop OREGON WORK SMARTER By BERNICE Oregon Stat Do you know that 88 per cent of Oregon brides married for ths first time are teen agers? This is about 10 per cent above the national aver age.

Moths will likely picnic on your stow-away woolens this summer unless you adequately discourage them. You can now buy special preparations containing DDT which can be used on wash able woolens. This way moth proofing is combined with washing, (Uher by hand, or in the machine and leaves no odor in the clothes. Be sure to follow directions on the pack-age-and make certain the gar ment is washable. If the mothproofing product gets on your skin, wash It off promptly with soap and wa ter. Wear rubber gloves If you put your hands in the wash water. Another precaution -treat an infant's sweater or blanket only if it is to be stored. When you are ready to use it again have it drycleaned first. Woolens that can't be washed should be drycleaned, hung on an outdoor line and sprayed with a mothproofing chemical. Let them dry, then store. If you put on too much spray there'll be a white de posit after the fabric dries. Don't worry, it will usually brush off after storage. A baby in the house?

Opera Singer's Life Subject Of Study Club Asniana-rne story oi joan Sutherland, coloratura opera Inger, as told in a recent book by Russell Braddon was reviewed for members of Ashland Study club at their Monday afternoon meeting by Mrs. Marcus Woods. Hostess was Mrs. Clifford Maust, 10S0 Park street. The frustrations of over weight, sinus and dental trou bles and other physical disa bilities gave promise of no brilliant future for the Aus tralian girl born in 1926, al though at an early age her vocal ability was evident. Added to Joan's Inferiority complex were the sadness of her father's sudden death and an afflicted' sister's suicide, the book relates. It was possible for the young singer and her mother to go to London and there with the constant encourage ment of pianist Richard Bonynge, later her husband, she euditioned at Covent Gar den and received her first small contract. After intensive study Joan attained recogni tion and critics' praise when she sang In Paris. Her great est success came in the mad scene In Lucia dl Lammer moor which she sang at La Scala opera in Milan, Italy. But she conquered the skep tics of blase New York at "the Met" In 1981 with her thrill ing performance which estab lished her as one of the world's all-time prima donnas. At the conclusion of the re view Mrs. Woods played a new recording of Miss Suther land s mad scene. A trip to southern Cali fornia and a conducted tour of the famous Mission Inn at Riverside was the subject pre sented by Mrs. I. F. Andres. It was in 1R75 that Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller began building their dream, a dream that ncer ceases to grow as the hotel expands and devel ops. Within the walls of this Inn of Moorish-Spantsh-Callfnrnla type architecture are assem bled cloisters, chapels, galler ies, stained glass windows, collections of bells and crosses, rare historic pieces, all dedicated to preservation of the past and "to rest of body, education of mind, and peace of the soul." The May 13 club meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Ralph Burgess when Mrs R. Drew Lamb will have tne book review and the half hour topic will be a surprise.
