Deemkr 18. 1356 O O Pbttpourri o o o O C- It wasrtwnrk'fct heart-warminz to hear Ken Wootton talk about the X"r4ed States and Oregon when Potpourri interviewed hit last Thursday. This Englishman, ho has left a eood. position r.th0,he London J3aily Express to try his luck in America, was C;oo openly ttjrilled with his adopted country and particularly with ($regon tfrat it favcf us a reflected glow. "I'H) have to blindfold my wife for the first month," he said and when this mnUfied his listeners he added, "It's all these O wo.ndrrrful ihops. She'll go in and just spend all. my money." Mr Wootton flew from Portland to Medford during daylight and was much impressed with the scenery. "It's just like Switzer land," he exclaimed. The Englishman, his host, George Mazon, Prrtpou.Ti arj Photographer Bob Vroman talked politics, art, tr.rater a ad a lot of other thinss in the half hour we -were at the M.-jions together. Whe we praised English movies, the Englishman 3 made a facaod said some were terrible that only the best ones nd their y to the United States. He said the worst ones were Oq those which the British producers try to make like the Hollywood productions,, o OO "The troublith us," bemoaned Mi". Wootton, "is that we O try $" imitate Americans and we mutilate your ideas." O At any rate, we were favorably impressed with Mr. Wootton, q and hope (that e is happy and successful in America. Oq O ..... QChe Chinese are grateful and friendly people, and because of this. Potpourri is inv;ed every now and then to have dinner at Kim's restaurant. Those who share in this special event consider 'Jy?rclves honored," for when Lee SheCi cooks a special dinner, it is something to remember. 0 Ten of us gathered arpun! the table Potpourri and pappy, Photographer'iJob Vroman an his wife, Gene Cass and Mrs. C, O Sta',g Trooper Bob Wievesilk and the Misses, and the Ed Klimkos. And the aount of food we ate wa something out of this world. There was duck coaled with orange, shrimp in sweet-sour sauce, Chinese vccgtables cooked as only the Chinese do, big black mush rofts stuffed with ground chiekert and ham, rice with bits of meat, chicken and a rw crab dish prepared with an egg sauce with dishes. To begin with we had a vermicelli and chicken soup, and hors d'o;vres which were bits of chicken giblets fried in a batter. FragrarS1 jajgjiine tea s always served, and the group drank sev eral pots full during the meal. Host Hciry Fong knows just how to end an enormous dinner like this and instead of aoconventional dessert we had a frosted mint and chocolate drink which goes by a dreadful name grass hopper, o After dinner ief Leg Sheu invited us to. inspect the kitchen CO and this r&Ved to be a revelation. It is like no other kitchen we rtgfcr saw before. The cooking tables they could hardly be caned stoves wer designed by the men and ordered from a firm in S.in Francisco0 and hve to be seen to be understood. We saw ' flther interesting devices refrigerated drawers filled with vege tables and other food ready to be cooked, a special contraption for preparing barbecued meat, and we even inspected the sprout ing room. Here tfce little green beans, which looked more like peas. are sprouted in water, the process requiring five days. Everything else the sprouts win spoil. O O o o o CO is scoured tend scrupulously clean, e The sgeed with whicfc Chef Sheu prepares an order astounded the womenfolk in trje party. In act, many cooks could have a (Kson in efficiency by inspecting the Kim's kitchens and watch ing the den eninese.

Tvye Thursday we tieard statements about the low esteem In which 5-cVoary of State Dulles is held in Europe. Ken Wootton. newly arrived frn London, told Potpourri that the British admire 0 and r$;pect President Eisenhower, but that Dulles' stock is falling wk by week and hit a new low in recent weeks. That) evening Mrs. Joseph Crick, Grants Pass, who toured several European countries last summer and who visited the 'rSinary people" in their homes, said that President Eisenhower Is we!, lilted and trusted everywhere but that Secretary Dulles is disliked and distrusted. & o ..... o o T.fjbits: The Phil Brainerds tried for weeks to teach the family O parakeet to talk, with.no luck.
