A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Paris Designers Had Surprises In Fall Show By GAY PAULEY Uniled Press International Pari (LTD Paris fash ion designers this year have made a dame look like what she is, a dame. That's what it boils down to, when you Review the high lights of the fall and winter collections from the designers who finished their Paris show ings this week. They replaced the sack with curves, left legs on dis play and brought back the waistline, although most of them raised it from its nor mal anatomical location. Two designers pulled a couple of big surprises. The House of Dior dropped hem lines 14 to 15 inches from the floor, well below what most other designers showed. And Balenciaga, rated by a lot of fashion critics as one of Paris' "greats," clung to the chemise-style silhouette. That Is what the buyers reported after this show; reporters will not get a peek until later this month. Most of the accent on curves is at the bust and neck line. Not to be overlooked in all the hemline-waistline talk, is the news in fabrics. For day time their bulk is outstanding tweeds which look an inch thick; lacy, airy mohairs; tex tured woolens of all kinds. Most patterns are small and subtle: I could count on one hand the big splashy plaids in the collections. Fabrics for evening are so extravagant it would take a sultan to afford some of the dresses. They include heavy silk crepes, satins, brocades, cut velvets, printed faillies, and chiffon. Not satisfied with the lushness of fabric itself, designers encrust them all over with many colored gems. Dior stressed black as the most important color for the new season and it was a heavy favorite with other designers. But, throughout there was a generous sprinkling of all the reds and pinks, the mauve and purple tones, many hlues and some greens and browns. , Meeting Set Central Point The Central Point Royal Neighbors will meet at the Benson home, route 1, box 507A, Central Point, Tuesday, August 5, at 12:30 p.m. v - L, .

If you should buy and then be dissatisfied what could you do about it? Not a thing peddlers change towns the way we change shoes. So it makes sense to do business with an established firm, here today and here tomorrow. Besides, a pharmacy is the only proper place to get vitamin preparations, many of which lose strength if handled or stored improperly.

Colors Enrich Home Furnishings This Fall Chicago (UPD Color can enrich your home furnishings decor just as much as high priced pieces, say interior dec orators. They predict the color pace setters this year will be orange and yellow, combina tions of blue and green, and off-white and beige. ' They point out that no mat ter the period or the price of your furniture the inter ior color scheme can make or break the overall appearance. Decorators caution that not only upholstery must harmon ize, but also carpets, lamps, drapery fabrics and decora tive accessories. Pork Chop Stuffing Put pockets in your pork chops and fill them with prune stuffing. To make the dressing, chop cooked prunes snd combine with cubes of fresh bread, finely chopped celery and nuts. Bake in a covered pan in a moderate oven for 45 minutes. If you have any leftover stuffing, shape into balls and bake in about 15 minutes. i N I M U M Heath's Pharmacy Cash Davis Pharmacy Foster Pharmacy Medford pharmacy McLain's Drug Center Hudson's Pharmacy Central Point Pharmacy Medical Dental Pharmacy I.. m Myrtl( e Creek Reunion Set The annual Myrtle Creek reunion will be held Sunday, August 17, at the Roseb'jrg Rod and Gun club, north of Winchester on the new high way.

ADDRESS with SIZE and SIZES II fi i o-i J IPtlpnirairirii If anyone doubts the size of the tourist crop in Oregon this year, let him travel alpng the coast. They're coming and going in every conceivable kind of a vehicle one can hardly get off and on the highway, and every tourist attraction, park and wayside area has all the way from two to 20 or 50 cars, all filled with people intent on seeing everything there is to see and doing everything there is to do. And they are spending money. Wednesday morning hordes of tourists, old, young, big and little, were going up and down the stairs at the Sea Lion caves, and when Potpourri went into a store in Seaside to buy groceries, the place was mobbed. The harassed man who piled our purchases into a sack stopped a moment when I asked "Are these all tourists?" and answered, after a glance around the store, "They must be they look like it." And I motley appearance, dressed in all sorts of on the road clothes in all sorts of condition. And a day like Wednesday is enough to bring more and more tourists to Oregon. It was gorgeous clear and reasonably warm, with only a little fog way out at sea, and the seacoast of Oregon is truly, beautiful. Not only was the ocean clear of fog and resplendent in all its blue and green glory, but it was dotted with dozens of little boats. Someone said there was a big salmon run on, and there must have been. We saw the boats going out the mouth of the Umpqua river as we made a quick trip into Umpqua Lighthouse State, park, and later as we drove up the coast they were visible for miles. At one time, with the big field glasses, Potpourri could see 43. . Today Potpourri "touristed" like all the, others. We watched the sea lions on the -rocks, and got real excited over the sight of two enormous sea creatures not far out which everyone said were whales. They certainly were large enough to be, and they "spouted" periodically. Then we climbed down into the caves to watch the "Stelleri Eumetopias" (that's what the little booklet calls them) at close range. The small pigeon guillemots in the cave, pretty little black things with white spots on their wings, were as interesting as the cormorants were the most seen. And these birds always seem to fly with purpose they don't just sail hither and yon as the gulls do. Large numbers of the cormorants . are always found near the sea lion caves. It has been several years since we had motored up the whole length of the Oregon coast and we can hardly be lieve the change. Almost every town, particularly those right on the shore catering to the tourist trade, have grown greatly and there are many new buildings now under con struction. The architecture in some instances is extremely interesting, particularly in the case of the new little churches, such as St. Paul's Lutheran, just north of Flor ence, if we remember correctly. Today we did something we've always wanted to do we stopped at the York gardens to see the fuchsias. As we had been warned, the place is not as beautiful as it once was, but many will be interested to know that it has a new owner one who took possession this week. His name is Fred Huntress, formerly of Portland, and he plans to begin at once to restore the fuchsias to their former beauty and to stock a number of new varieties. Mr. Huntress has relatives in Medford, and has visited the city many times. Yesterday we also did something which we've been planning for a long time. We took the boat trip up the Rogue from Gold Beach. In spite of the fact that we've been hearing about this trip for years, we really didn't have any idea what it would be like. Particularly that 150 people would make the trip every day, on the average There were five of the big boats, and each carried at least 30 passengers. The one labeled "U.S. Mail" took off first and it was a good half hour before the rest of us were all loaded and on our way. As those who have made the trip know, the passengers are polled as to what kind of a meal they want at noon; if you say "steak" you go to Lucas lodge if you want chicken you go to Singing Springs. We chose Lucas lodge and upon our arrival at the "lodge" a huge old farm house turned into a tourist spot the first persons we saw were E. H. Hedrick and Mrs. Hedrick of Medford, and Mr. H's cousin, Mrs. E. S. Rickard, Sacramento, Calif. The three had been to Drain to attend an "old-timer's" annual reunion, and decided to take the Gold Beach to Agness trip en route home. At our table at luncheon were two couples from Mc- Minnville, and a remark made by one of the women proved that Potpourri isn't quite the worst person in Oregon about locations and distances, as Pappy has always claimed. She asked "Isn't Crater Lake just over the hills here about 40 miles away?" We don't now exactly how far it is from Agness to Crater Lake as the crow flies, but this we do know, it's a lot further than 40 miles! - Potpourri didn't know that there were roads up both sides of the Rogue as far as there are, or that they are being extended. The woman at the desk of the Rogue Boat service in Gold Beach said that about 75 or 80 families live along the Rogue, including those at Agness and Illahe, the year around, and that the number doubles in the summer time. She also said that the partly completed bridge we saw quite some distance up the river is at Lobster creek and that it is part of a new forest access rtoad being built into the area jointly by the United States Forest service and the United States Plywood company. We hate to resist civilization, but somehow we dislike to see the last sections of timberland falling to the saw and axe. The pretty young woman who answered our questions at Lucas lodge said her grandfather had come into the area as a young man with the idea of mining coal. He found some deposits of good coal, she said, but the task of getting it down the Rogue proved too much for him, and he abandoned the venture. He stayed on however, to farm and raise cattle and must have prospered, for he built an exceedingly large farmhouse.

'y .1 I Egypt's Mrs. Dislikes Palace By PAT HERMAN Uniled Press International London (UPD Tahia Nas ser's face is almost as unfa- maliar in her own land, and abroad, as her husband's is familiar. The wife of President Ab- del Gamal Nasser and first lady of the United Arab Re public is virtually unknown to the world beyond the Nile, and not much better known at home. Her recent visit with Nasser to Yugoslavia was her first journey outside Egypt. She has remained so com pletely behind the scene that one high Egyptian official said not long ago he was sur prised to learn of her exist ence. An interview I had with Mrs. Nasser two years ago was the first she ever gave to a Western correspondent. On that occasion plump, dark - haired Tahia Nasser sipped a soft drink and sur veyed the magnificent gilt throne room of the palace that once belonged to deposed King Farouk. "I do not feel at home here," she said in slow, stac cato English. Dislikes Palace She obviously didn't. She explained that their home in the Abbasia military barracks where they have lived since Nasser assumed power was being re-decorated. In the meantime "the Nassers were living in the presidential palace. , "I would like to show you the house,'' said the shy, soft spoken woman. Nasser vetoed the sugges tion. He insisted that in the Moslem tradition his wife should remain in the back ground. "Tahia likes it that way, i said an old-time friend who has known the Nassers since Nasser's aunt and Tahia's mother introduced them in 1944. , "She prefers cooking and sewing to public life. She is devoted to the children Hoda, Mona, Khalid, Abdel- Hamid, and Abdel-Hakim." Tahia wanted her husband to take her with him to Yugo slavia on his "previous state visit there in 1955 but it was decided otherwise. "She simply accepted his word," said another close friend. "In the days before Nasser became president they for electricity for lights, cabinets. The best part of the meal we had was the dessert, vanilla ice cream with little wild blackberries, picked that morning. We've said it before and we say it again, there just isn't anything quite so good as the little wild black berries. The young woman explained that there is a road from Agness a store and a schoolhouse to Powers, but that it takes an hour and a half to drive the 36 miles "when the road is good." The school, for elementary ' pupils only, has about 10 children enrolled and those wanting to go to high school must "move out." Some just finish the eighth grade, she said, and don't go on to high school. There was a sign leaning the lodge which said "Agness, 199 population." When we indicated the sign she said "If you're taking notes, don't say anything about that. We're sensitive about that and we're going to have the sign changed. It .really should read 200.

Now he does not have time for that. She accepts this too. To Tahia, his word is gospel." Dresses Simply Mrs. Nasser dresses simply, Her only makeup at the time was lipstick and her only jew elry a simple gold wedding band. She wore medium heeled white pumps with an American-styled cotton dress. Every time she referred to "my husband" the deep-set dark eyes lit up. Tahia's simple, almost child like faith in the man who now rules the United Arab Republic, goes back to the early days of their marriage. "He tells her very little and what she knows about him she keeps to herself," said one of Nasser's' closest associates. He recalled the morning in pre-revolution days when Ta hia, unaware of her husband s attempt to overthrow the Fa rouk regime, found a box of hand grenades in a fruit crate hiddenjmderneath their bed. "She told me later that she was terrified but that she would never tell him that she knew. Part of it was fear and part of it the faith that he could do no wrong."-- 4 Muddy Taste of Fish Removed by Salt Mix Soak fish in salt water to remove the muddy taste that may show up this time of year in fish taken from mud bottom bodies of water, ad vises an Oregon State college specialist in wildlife manage ment.4 Andrew Landforce says the muddy taste may be removed from Largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill sunfish by skinning and soaking the cleaned fish in salt water. Put enough salt water in a bowl to cover the fish. Use a half cup of ordinary table salt to two quarts of water. Mix the fish and salt water thor oughly, let soak for about one hour, then rinse well. Overnight soaking with a weaker salt solution will help "firm" flabby types of fish such as Columbia river smelt. While salt enhances fish flavor for most people, the specialist recommends ex perimenting with strength of salt water solution for indi vidual tastes. refrigerators and deep freeze .''"'" against a building at the back of o.s.

Researchers Look For Wash-Wear Finish "for Cotton Washington (UPD The De partment of Agriculture says that dry cleaners soon should be able to apply a wash -wear finish to cotton clothes. The department said its re searchers, working with the National Institute of Dry Cleaning, have developed sev eral resin finishes which re sist wrinkles, are inexpensive and can be applied by stan dard dry cleaning equipment. Cotton wash - wear gar ments have been available for years, but the finish has been applied to the fabric before it is made into clothing. This fact, the department said, has made it difficult to get flat seams, hems or pockets, or to press flat pleats. Decorators have learned that fabrics alone can trans form a room's entire person ality, concealing architectural defects, even changing the size and shape of the room.
