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

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

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.

Red Clay Flower Pots
Can Have Many Uses
Bv MARGERY McELHENY
Chicago- IUPD -The earthy
tones of red clay flower pots
and saucers lend themselves
to many interesting deco
rative and party tricks, with
or without living plants in
side. 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,

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

the presentation.
Dr. Wayne Wells, professor
emeritus of Southern Oregon
college, showed pictures and
told of his trip through Af

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

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.

ducting the study are R. O.

Do you know that 88 per

cent above the national aver
age. Mrs. Roberta Frasier,
OSU family life specialist, has
written a circular entitled

helpful information for un
derstanding this recent trend.

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.

Opera Singer's

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
