NEW YORK (UPD-The nice
thing about jewelry as a Christ
mas gift for men is the price
range. You can get tie tacks
and tie clips as iu as $2 or
$3 or you can pay up to about
$19,000 for a Swiss watch with
a diamond forming the costal.
For evening wear watches are
studded with diamonds and the
price can be monumental. But
there are handsome wrist watch
es as low as $10 to $15.
Here are some specific jewel
ry suggestions:
Tiffany's has a pair of cluff
links with a cultured pearl
about the size of a large pea
(around 9 millimeters) in a ring
of small diamonds set in plati
num for $1,450 the pair and
matching studs for $285. Car

a "stormascopc" barometer
($65) in which the most com

Projects

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

WASHINGTON Mrs. John F. Kennedy
has sent reproductions of this painting of the
White House Green Room to members of the
Kennedy White House staff as a Christmas
memento. She and the late President had
selected It. It is signed by both of them. (UPI)
Slavery of a sort has come to Ihe Rogue Valley. 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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

A really extra special person

NEW YORK (UPI) - Now
starts the seasonal guessing
game what is it and what is
it supposed to do?
for instance. There is some
thing called "the something
box" for Christmas. It is de
scribed by those who are selling
it in this, the age of off-beat
gifts for the person on your list
who has everything else, as
something that "works as well
in darkness as in light."
While it blinks," the blurb
continues, you'll discover, if
you are sleepy, it will keep you
awake. If you're an insomniac,
it will probaly put you lo
sleep . . .
Try it on your desk. You 11
find people thinking you've got
a compact computer, a spy
system, signals from your con
flict of interests firms; maybe
you're a scientist."
The Board Meeting
"Try it on the table at the
hoard meeting and see what
happens . . .
"Let us warn you, that unless
you use an axe you can't turn
it off.
"It will keep on winking Its
eight eyes in no recognizable
pattern and for no apparent
reason for nearly a year. Then
it's dead as a mackerel and you
can't get it fixed."
A spokesman for the New
York firm marketing the
"something box" said the thing
it is a rectangle weighing six
pounds is one of its best-selling
Christmas items.
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.
This year, Ihe number seems
creator than usual.
There is the dilemma dis
penser a transistorized, bat
Icrv nncralcd Eadcel to he turn
ed on nt will. "Dial your prob
lem, Ihrow away apprehension,
walch the lights, and presto!
Your decision is made for you,"
said its marketers.
Party Fun
For Ihnse who want to have
some fun nt parlies or are Just
lonesome enough to want to ,
hear themselves talk, there
is Ihe bird with all the colors
of a parrot or macaw. The bird
is stuffed with a tape recorder
controlled hy a couple of but
tons! .
"Say whal you will," lis pro
motion reads, "this fellow will
repeat after you and when It
docs, ils glass eyes light up in
a bloodshot malevolent gleam."
Shopping the slores and the
catalogs reveals that you can
buy a kit for making your own
"antiques"; one to build your
own grandfather's clock.
Toll Takers Horror
Buy a fidget stone of jade to
rub in moments of tension; a
pistol that shoots coins into toll
gate baskets; a pistol swizzle
stick, battery operated which
goes onto mixing action when
the trigger is pulled;
A kit of five tubes of tooth
paste, non-alcoholic in content,
but flavored to taste like mar
tini, brandy, orange curacao,
rum or eggnog brandy;
An automatic tie pressor; fur
seal eyelashes; a stapler with
