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,

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.

nuts and light or dark raisins to

celery turkey stuffing. Season
with a tablespoon of the new

onion soaked a few minutes in

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
