Half sizes 14-22'.. mi sr -z re Russia suppresses freedom at home and champions it abroad; the United States- has freedom at home and fails to support it in other nations. Dr. Hussein Kamel Selim of Cairo, Egypt, made this charge while in Medford Monday. The Egyptian visitor took every opportunity to say that this country, symbol of freedom throughout the world, should "be a friend to all, and let this fact be known: declare yourselves on the side of liberty all around the world." Dr. Selim, formerly head of a department at Cairo university and at one time Egypt's delegate to the United Nations, spoke English fluently and with a better command of the language than some who questioned him during a luncheon and later during an evening meeting. Dr. Selim was, of course, biased in his discussion of the Egyptian-Israeli conflict, but this must have been expected by his audience. It is unlikely that anyone listening would have done differently, had they changed places with Dr. Selim. He praised Nasser, and told how he had worked to improve conditions in Egypt. Dr. Selim spoke especially of Nasser's abolishment of the religious courts, which had jurisdiction over domestic and family matters and which Dr. Selim said had been corrupt and Backward looking, and of Nasser's program to aid education. New schools have averaged one a day in recent months, the visitor declared, and he added that Nasser is working hard to bring the nation's modern education facilities to the level of those in other countries. . This is an' opportune time to report that a Medford woman who wrote Premier Nasser recently as her personal effort toward promoting friendly relations, received an answer last week. It read: "This is to acknowledge with the utmost gratitude the receipt of your message which really expresses a noble feeling on your part, in respect to Egypt's resistence to the triple aggression. "I should like to say in the most explicit terms that Egypt will never forget the effort and spirit of those who defended her cause, or in any sense participated in the campaign against in justice and the usurpation of Rigfit. "For this noble attitude on the part of the lovers of Freedom and for those who champion the Cause of the Right and the Just, we are really grateful." It was signed with the traditional closing "yours sincerely," Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of the Egyptian Republic. If there's another celebration staged by the canned cling peach industry, Potpourri hopes to be included. It was a wonderful party that the industry gave last week end in San Francisco, especially the centennial dinner at the Fairmont hotel. First on the menu was a fruit cocktail made with grenadine, lime juice, light rum and topped with lemon sherbet it was served in silver dishes set in cracked ice, and was delicious. This was followed by Tortue Verte et Pois Frais Gratinee, Paillettes aux Parmesan otherwise known as "Boola Boola." This is the Fair mont hotel's excellent green turtle and split pea soup, served with a topping of sour cream and Parmesan cheese baked until light brown. Since it was Friday night, the chef had chosen Truite de Riviere Farcie a la Genevoise fresh trout suffed with crab legs. It came to the table in a brown sauce made from stock derived from salmon and carp, and seasoned with burgundy and dark German beer. With the fish was served a tomato stuffed with red cabbage cooked with apples and seasoned with goose fat. The cabbage didn't taste a bit like that vegetabte more like sweet-sour beets. The second vegetable was small zucchini stuffed with a rice mixture, dipped in batter and fried. The salad was Nideau Printemps Boston lettuce with tiny balls of cream cheese and chives sprinkled with a dressing which is a specialty of the Fairmont s Chef Marius. . The dessert, of course, was the crowning glory. Chef Marius Lafaille demonstrated it, along with a number of other special dishes, for his guests. He began with a ring of vanilla ice cream in a special sauce, covered this with a peach half and more sauce, different, and over all this was a huge fluff of golden spun sugar. The white-gloved waiters passed trays centered with large baskets made of cookie dough and decorated with frosting flowers. The baskets held a variety of tiny french pastries and petits fours. Dry semillon accompanied the meal, and the final course was coffee, served demitasse, with peach brandy. Truly a memorable meal. The fruit cocktail recipe was developed especially for the dinner by the Foods Research institute, and Chef Marius "com posed" the dessert in honor of the occasion. Another new dish, devised by one of the Institute's home economists, was introduced at the champagne breakfast at the Cliff House Saturday morning. Peach halves were topped with a mixture of crumbled bacon, bread crumbs and cheese, and baked. The peaches accompanied scrambled eggs and portions of baked white fish. Potpourri arrived at the airport Friday morning carrying five orchids, gifts from Jimmy and Florene Bolton. Three little green ones had been made up into a spray to wear for traveling, and the two gorgeous single blossoms were to be divided with Irene Hawthorie, the ballet dancer who had given a program in Medford the night before. Miss Hawthorne, thrilled with the beauty of the white one, selected it and Potpourri carried the purplish-wine colored blossom to wear on our silver colored evening gown Friday night. Miss Hawthorne earned a lot of startled stares she was carrying various bags, a sack of fresh pears, the big wire dummy which is one of the props in her dance show and the orchid box. The dummy sits beside her in the plane and according to Miss H., the plane crew never throws him out. Potpourri sat beside Mrs. S. Ralph Dippel (Adrienne) on the trip down, and this proved fortunate. Adrienne is a veteran flyer she and one of herclothing store employees, Paloma Randelman (now Mrs. Jack O'Neil of Fresno) were the first women passengers to take off from the Medford airport and fly to San Francisco and she was also United Airlines' first woman passenger out of Medford. Since that time Mrs. Dippel has flown countless times to San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Los Angeles; she has made trips to New York, to Mexico cities and to the Hawaiian islands. She has been awarded five or six "stars", but isn't quite sure what the total mileage is thinks it must be in the neighborhood of a half-million miles. "For all the miles I've flown," said Adrienne, "I never cease to marvel over the fact that humans travel through the air so easily and so quickly. I still think it's wonderful." O.S. New York "Guild patent leather" made its debut recently in New York in a profusion of textures and colors never seen before. Traditional black patent once the only patent was just one of more than a score of gleaming patent leathers unveil ed in 500-odd new shoe and ac cessory fashions for resort, cruise wear and spring. , As new as the leathers was the term "Guild patent leather" which has been coined to de scribe both the fashion newness and the new quality standards set up for the patent leather turne4 out by the major U, S. producers who have constituted themselves the Patent Leather Guild of Leather Industries of America. The firms are the A. C. Lawrence Leather company. Al lied Kid company, and Seton Leather company. A tag or seal bearing the name "Guild Patent Leather" will attest to the fact that shoes or other accessories are genuine patent, quality-con trolled and fashion-tested. A live model the Guild pat ent leather kid and an accom panying exhibit were the high lights of a fashion show in which the predominant colors were black, bronze, gun metal and red. Most exciting news in Guild patents, however, was the new developments in texture . No longer is patent leather identi fied with a bright, hard and shiny look . . . Guild patents are matted, crushed, pebbled, an tiqued, printed and grained. Toes Pointed Guild patent leathers in the smooth as well as textured lea thers lend themselves particu larly well to the coming spring's long, smooth, sleekly covered lines. The elongated look is car ried out in the very pointed toe and high riding sides of the opera pump and is seen, too, in shoes of all types from the most casual to the most formal. Heel heights, too, go to extremes among them the very high slim stiletto heel, the newest very Shoe Sales Set Record New York Putting America s best foot forward in 1956 took 590,000,000 pairs of leather shoes a new record. According to Leather Indus tries of America speaking for ! the nation's tanning and shoe industries 1956 purchases showed an increase of nearly 15,000,000 over the previous year. Providing the raw material for these shoes took more than 110,000,000 hides and skins ranging from huge cattle hides to tiny lizard skins. Bulk of the shoe production about 75 per cent was crafted from more than 25,000,000 steer and cow hides, made available by Amer ica's tremendous appetite for beef. Other hides used included more than 9.000,000 calfskins, 25,000,000 sheep skins, alike number of goat and kid skins and a multitude of alligator, snake, lizard,- shark, horse and other leathers. As usual and this is no sur prise to any male women's shoes represented just about half of the production and sales, while men's and children's ranging from infants to teen agers comprise the remainder. Total figures show - that wo men's shoe production totalled 283,500,000; mens 110,000,000, New Leather Introduced For Spring low but very curved Baby Louis heel in dressy and informal shoes, or the new curved wedges. While most of the shoes were covered all around, there were some highlighting the closed, pointed toe front and the sling or cling-back some on high heels, other on mid or low heels. Particularly interesting were the mixtures of patent and other leathers, and the combinations of colors in the patents them selves. A white pebbled patent pump featured the entire coun ter in shiny black patent leather; still another white textured pump had stripe of vari-colored patents running from the heel to the toe. A harlequin effect in two-tone black dramatized a slim opera pump of a dull matte patent in diamond-shaped boxes in shiny black patent. Although the adult shoes showed little or no decoration outside of the leathers them selves, it was interesting to note that the children's shoes in all types and colors of patents wer much ' dressier. Some of them even featured little rhinestone jewels set in the heels. Evry conceivable size and shape of handbag was shown in every type of Guild Patent Lea ther. Long and slender, pouchy, squares and boxes and attache type cases demonstrated that patent will be used for all cos tumes this spring from the station-wagon set to the business and career woman. Add a cup each of broken wal nuts and light or dark raisins to a basic brown bread, butter and celery turkey stuffing. Season with a tablespoon of the new moisture - free instant minced onion soaked a few minutes in giblet broth. Are you having trouble find ing things for your pre-school youngsters to do during these wet, blustery winter days? The Medford Public library has books on play activities for boys and girls of all ages. which was 6,000,000 over last year; children and youths' total led about 127,000,000; while there were an additional 69,000,- 000 in miscellaneous categories such as slippers, military shoes, etc. The greatest impetus in shoe sales aside from normal pop ulation growth was the develop ment of new and improved leathers, and the emergency of drastically new style changes in all categories of shoes. The past saw new Tropical leathers and other lightweights, a variety of new grained and patterned leath ers, and a general softening of leather textures, to increase com fort and styling while retaining the durability of conventional leathers New Lodge Head Lists Committees por (doming Year Pythian Sisters met Tuesday evening for the first session of the new year and plans were made for the coming year's ac tivities.
