Mrs. Wallace Neece gave a mission report on the activi ties of Donald Byers. He was a minister of the Central Ave nue Church of Christ in Med ford, prior to leaving for Thailand, where he spent five years doing mission work. He returned to this country sev eral months ago to rest for a year.' He has spoken at vari ous meetings in the valley during this time. The local Christian church and women's . group - help to Women's Mews o Social Events There was only one place in Russia where his group of touring educators was not received with friendliness Dr. Leonard Mayfield told Jackson County Republican women at a luncheon Monday noon. That place was the United States embassy in Moscow. Dr. Mayfield said the men "were like a bunch of kids" when they saw the American flag at the embassy building Dr. Leonard Mayfield this was even more conspicu ous because of the friendliness and courtesy of the Russians. Russians to whom they were introduced officially, those in factories, schools or other institutions, were all exceedingly courteous and tried to be helpful in every way, the Medford man reported. If one of the Americans wanted directions, any Russian would not only give directions, he would drop whatever he was doing or postpone wherever he was going and personally escort the visitors. When Russians heard the visitors speak, and recognized the language, they often made friendly overtures, he said. Everyone, particularly students, apparently made every ef fort to answer all questions and to proviue any information the traveling educators wanted. During the tour the Russians asked many questions of the Americans, too, and the visitors answered as best they could. One Russian and a couple of the Americans exchanged views on political parties, and one of the teachers tried to explain the party system here. When the American said said "I am a Democrat and John Doe here is a Republican1 the Russian quickly asked "Do President Eisenhower is extremely popular with the Rus sian people, Dr. Mayfield discovered. Everywhere the travel ers went, the Russians spoke and praised him. When it came to Vice-President Nixon, how ever, the Russians were much less enthusiastic, he said Those who followed American current political events close ly enough to know of both Vice-President Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller invariably said they liked what they heard about Rockefeller more than Nixon, In many of his talks Dr. the Russians, though not now standards, are nevertheless an extremely well-behaved and apparency moral people. The divorce rate is low, crime is at a minimum, juvenile delinquency is no where' near as pre valent as it is in this nation, the Russians are well-behaved in public and there is little emphasis on sex, he said. When Dr. Mayfield spoke most of the cities, and how the to a family is three rooms, we Three years ago when Potpourri made a boat trip around Manhattan island the guide ears with facts about New. York City pointed but the official residence of the mayor. He added that it is the only residence left in all Manhattan which is occupied by only one family; all others on the island (which has several million inhabitants)' are living in multiple housing This is not to say that New York's housing is as crowded, or may not be better, than Moscow. We have no way of judging. However, a recent issue of the New York Times quoted a decorator as saying that few New Yorkers could afford rooms in their apartments which did not serve more than one purpose. Halls must rooms become bedrooms by such a premium that baskets used for storage. - An article by John Fischer, describes the appalling over-crowded conditions m America s largest city and said a campaign should be waged to warn people from moving there. On the other hand, a former Medford resident who has lived down the peninsula from San Francisco in recent years and who was recently transferred to New York wrote that he found housing on Long Island more abundant and cheaper than the San Francisco area. .. Potpourri called the Mayfield home last night and Mrs M. said yes, "my husband is home, believe it or not." In case this sounds like an unkind remark, let us hasten to point out that Dr. Mayfield, since' coming home from a month in Russia, has become the most popular speaker in the city. He not only fills almost-every-day engagements, but sometimes talks to two groups Monday Dr. Mayfield said many speeches he's given, but knew he had been booked for 55, with a few yet to go. Recently he has been forced to tell groups that he would be glad to talk, but at some later time. "I'm getting too far behind in my school work," was the reason. Monday Dr. Mayfield, who ing a grey fur Russian hat which he says is warm and com fortable, said he liked the Russian people very much, but dis trusted their leaders. "I know that under the Communist philosophy, the leaders are prepared to do anything to ad vance their cause. I think we should keep our powder dry."-O.S.

It is the American In stitute of Ap- G.7 Pauley proval, Inc., a non-profit and. non-commercial project to "maintain and heighten standards of good taste. . ." Its founder is Lady Mal colm Douglas-Hamilton, Boston-born socialite who per haps is best known for the "Bundles for Britain" proj ect which she established in 1939 to help our World War II ally. The institute lias a rotating panel of 75 American women leaders in social, charitable, civic, professional and cultu ral circles, who "as a public service," said Lady Douglas Hamilton, will act as consult ans to industry on a specific product or projected line. Panelists Named Panelists include Mrs. Wal ter P. Chrysler, Jr., a patron of the arts; actress-author Il ka Chase; career girl Anita Colby; Mrs. W. R. Hearst, Jr., wife of the New York publish er; Mrs. Barry Bingham, wife of the president and editor-in-chief of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Times; Mrs. John Sherman Cooper, wife of the Kentucky senator; so cially prominent Mrs. Searle Whitney of New York; Mrs. Grayson Kirk, wife of the president of Columbia Uni versity; and Mrs. Earl E. T. Smith, former model, fashion designer and wife of the for mer ambassador to Cuba. -The institute will attempt to upgrade the taste rating of products where women tradi tionally have a voice in buy- ing-pre-fab houses, furniture, cars, china, appliances, to name a few. How about women's fashions?- "Well," said Lady Douglas-Hamilton, "we thought we'd like to get established with things for the home. But if a clothing manufactur er comes to us, why of course Will Charge Fee Any industry which con sults the panel will pay a "nominal fee," based on gross income "because we want to get small as well as big busi ness consulting us." The fees will go to the maintenance of an administrative staff, and panelists will receive a $100 honorarium for serving. Periodically, the institute will present an "award of ap proval" for' products and de signs it has reviewed. "I want to stress that ours will be an honest approval," she said. "Awards so often get commercial. Ours won't ever be bought." "What is good taste?" I asked her. Economist Advises On New Appliances Corvallis - Meal - planners who put Christmas gift appli ances to work now will find an extra hand around the kitchen helpful almost every day of the year . An appliance in hand is worth more than several sel-ddm-used ones that take up storage room on the cupboard shelf waiting for "special oc casion" use, says Miss Bernice Strawn, Oregon State college extension home economist. Here are her suggestions for use of small appliances such as the blender, griddle and trypan. Use electric outlets in the dining room and kitchen con venient to where appliance is used. Avoid long extension cords, she advises, which are easily tripped over, and often inefficient. Store - appliances where they're going to be most often used. For some, this may be the kitchen; dining and fam ily room may be handiest for others. Miss Strawn recom mends storing appliances on an open . shelf, at a height where the appliance can be plugged in without moving it.

' "I knew you'd bring that up," she smiled. "It is inde finable . . . intangible. Like trying to say what is a good man. But to me, good taste represents the instinct of fit ness of things. It is knowing what is appropriate and suit able for the time and place. "There are thousands of women in America today with what I call good taste. And any of them could have serv ed on the panel; the ones chosen just happened to be women I know." Lady Douglas-Hamilton re fused to go into examples of bad taste in American design "because we are starting with a constructive outlook." She said the project grew from the "shock" she felt while living in Britain after the war when her Scotsman husband was a member -of Parliament at finding for eigners so critical of Ameri can taste. The institute's director will serve without pay-'Tm just a causer," said the attractive dark-haired woman who since World War II has worked to further NATO, founded the "Common Cause," an organi zation to fight Communism, and now is active in "Friends for Haiti," which is working for the economic rehabilita tion of that Caribbean island. J asked Natalie Douglas- Hamilton why there were no men on the panel. Was it be cause she thought men had poor taste? "Oh heavens no,"-she said. "We started with women be cause we were aiming for the woman consumer. But every body else is asking the same thing, so our board plans to let the men be heard, too."
