And what an easy way to shopl Mm LERS MEDFORD, OREGON 204 EAST MAIN Lady Lions Projects Reviewed Two Christmas projects have occupied the attention of Med ford Lions Club Auxiliary in re cent weeks. One is aid to a boy at the Oregon School for the Blind and the other is help for a family of nine living in this area. At the auxiliary's Christmas parly, held at the home of Mrs. Alan .Icwetl, fi South Grnveland Avenue, Mrs. .lames Warinner read a letter from one of the supervisors of the School (or the Blind thanking the auxiliary for financial help and interest in the blind hoy's musical edu cation as well as for providing his school clothing. Mrs. Warinner also reported on his requests for Christmas, and received the approval of the cluh to fulfill his wishes. Mrs. Bill Rambn had previ ously reported to the success of the rummage sale held in No vember, the sale having been held to meet the expenses of the child which the auxiliary has sponsored for the past four years. Following the business meet ing there was a gift exchange with each member taking her choice from the pile of decorat ed packages. Following this, women who had purchased toys and clothing for the family of nine the auxiliary adopted as a Christmas project then dis played their purchases. There was bright new clothing (or each member of the family, and toys of every description for the chil dren, including a doll for each of the four girls. Nineteen members attended the party and each brought something for the family food basket. Mrs. W. E. Ashlon vol unteered to purchase the perish ables to complete the Christmas dinner. This is the first year for this project; however it was considered so successful there is every indication that next year the auxiliary will increase Ihe number of families. Mrs. .Ine Tomjack and Mrs. John Hatfield were co-hostesses with Mrs. .lewett presiding at a buffet of holiday fare.

The "slaves" are two Medford business men who laid plans for their own servitude, and whose labors will profit Rogue Gallery. During an auction which closed the annual Bizarre Bazaar at Rogue Gallery Sunday afternoon, the services of the two men, Hobby Collins and ,Iim Ragland, were auctioned by Richard Cnurlwright. As a result, Robby and .lirn will do a baby sitting stint, will serve as butlers at two parties, will cook and serve a dinner and some Sunday morning in February will cook break fast at the home of the Alfred S. V. Carpenters and serve it to them in bed. The baby-sitting stint will be performed for the children of Dr. and Mrs. Tom Rutter. This was bid in by Clyde Lamb, for merly of Medford and now of Portland, who "bought" the two men, by mail, as a Christmas gift for the Rutters. Mrs. Rutter and Mrs. Brandt Bartels, president of Rogue Valley Art Associa tion, were successful bidders on the bar-tending and hulling pack age, and Mrs. Richard Saul was high bidder for the deal whereby the two men will cook and serve a dinner and wash the dishes afterwards. Funds raised at the auction will go into Ihe gallery's hank account, .lirn Ragland is a former president of the Art Associa tion and Robby Collins is a board member. Many Rogue Valley folk interested in the welfare of the gallery work hard, in various ways, to see that the gallery prospers, but .lirn and Robby with out a doubt come up with the most original ideas not only to raise money but to remind the public that the little art gallery is filling a need in the area and that it deserves support. They planned and staged a successful alley show, with a competition among merchants for the most beautifully decorated garbage can, staged two Poor Losers' shows, Ihe second in a fish market, and then progressed to the Bizarre Bazaars. While baby sitting, lending liar and conking, they'll hatch an idea for the next fund-raising event. .lust wait. i During the early part of Ihe Junior Service League's Christmas party last Saturday night Jean Hart gave a style show. When the show was over Jean gathered up the clothing, including a numher of furs, and took them back to her shop. As she stored them away, Mrs. H. realized lhat she had an extra stole. Fur In hand, she rushed back to the Country Club. In Ihe meantime Marge Dunlcvy, Mayor James Dunlevy's wife, discovered that Ihe fur wrap which she had laid aside for a time, was missing. About this time Mrs. Hart arrived back at the cluh, and the mystery was solved. This turned out to he a lot simpler than the mixup of mink stoles at a recent cocktail party. Four or five of the femmes at the event got their fur wraps all mixed up and according to the story which came to Potpourri, all had to get together in the home of one to sort them out. Not having a mink wrap, we're not an authority, but wouldn't it he a good idea to have some served hy Mrs .George Williams, case? Shasta Women Are Entertained At Yule Party x MONTAGUE - Warm glowing copper with bright red accents was the color chosen by Mrs. Morris Prather for her yule decorations when she entertain ed the Shasta Valley Garden Club at her home December 6 for the club's annual Christmas party. Mrs. Prather's Christmas tree was a copper sprayed manzanita bush with bright red ornaments hanging from Ihe branches. The centerpiece was of bright red lady apples and copper sprayed leaves in a bright red bowl. Madonnas, elves and copper sprayed greenery were used throughout her ranch home. Mrs. Edward Clement, presi dent, conducted the meeting and reported on the Top-O-State Dis trict meeting held December 3 in St. Michael's Hall, Weed, which she had attended with Mrs. Henrietta Terwilligcr, as sistant district director, Mrs. Prather and Mrs. Larry Walters. Mrs. Clement won a first place ribbon in one of the three cate gories of the Christmas arrange ment display, which was one of the features of the meet. Members of the local cluh de cided to sew lap robes for the senior citizens at the Siskivou County Hospital. Sewing of these. Is to begin at the next meeting scheduled to be. held at the garden club room in Ihe old grammar school with Mrs. An nie Zornes and Mrs. Lillian Dulcher as co-hostesses. Mrs. Walters will give a program on birds. The next card parly spon sored by the club is to be held at the Montague Cluh room on Wednesday evening, December 18, witn pinochle and dutch whist to be played.

O 1 5 3 Potpourri didn't see Mrs. Dunlcvy wearing her stole, hut we did take nolo of the distinctive green and red silk print dress which she wore to Ihe Service League Ball. The material came from Alba, Italy, Medford's Sister Clly, and the material was brought to her by Elsie Snider, wile of Former Mayor John Snider when the Sniders returned from Italy last fall. According lo the Catholic Digest, a St. Louis motorist has learned how to cook while motoring. "It's simple," the man said. "Wrap a hot dog, steak or hamburger in tinfoil and place it on the motor block. About 75 miles is right for a somewhat rare half Inch steak on a V-8 engine. Medium rare takes about 100 miles. Hot dogs are ready at 50 miles." Well, now, maybe our little MG, known as the Road Runner, can be induced to turn out a rare beef roast with Yorkshire pudding. However, this isn't strictly a new idea. Years ago John Patric, the Washington slate author whose far out Ideas some times bring him a lot of publicity, described in a book how he lived in his car while traveling, and one of his stunts was to heat canned food on the motor. Salmon was one of his specialties. It probably wouldn't he in 1963. In those days canned salmon was a cheap food. Today, it isn't. O.S. Mrs. Terwilliger and the hostess.

Top Package With Corsage A really extra special person al touch may be added to a wrapped Christmas gift by at taching to it a small Christmas corsage, says the Society of American Florists, Whether the package is large or small, a suitable corsage can be added.

Many Orders "Not onlv are we getting or ders by the thousands from the United states, said a spones- man. "but from nil over the world." Asked if the box were supposed to do anything besides sit there and blink, he added, "absolutely nothing." The box arrives at your house already operating; the only way to get rid of it other than chopping it up with an axe is to "turn it against the wall in an unused closet." "Or," as the slore suggested, "give. It to some fellow who has no sense of humor." As usual, each Christmas shopping season produces an assortment of off - bent gifts.
