Superintendent Talks for Group In Grants Passv Grants Pass - Dr. Leonard Mayfield, superintendent of the Med ford consolidated school district, and Mrs. May field were guests of honor at an evening meeting of the Grants Pass branch, American Association of University Women, held Monday at the home of, Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Forsgrcn in Grants Pass. The meeting, to which mem bers brought their husbands and Interested friends, was mainly devoted to Dr. May- field's talk. A brief business session was conducted by Mrs. Don Benjnmin, branch presi dent. Dr. Mayflcld's trip to Russia was the subject of his speech for the evening. The recurrent theme throughout the talk was the friendliness of the Russian people-the so called "common man" in Rus-sia-as exhibited on so many occasions to all members of the American party. Dr. May field said that they shared, to a large extent, the sentiments of the American people con cerning them, namely, that the people of the nation want to establish friendship and do away with the threat of war but are ruled in their decisions by their leaders. The speaker talked briefly of the two edu cational systems. He brought out the interesting fact that, in Russia, the training of an nthlcte begins at a very early level with his attending sep arate schools where at least 50 per cent of his time is spent in preparing for an athletic ca reer in much the same manner as training for any other pro fession. Photographs and slides taken on the trip were shown. It was announced that the group will feature a discussion on Japan at its February meet ing and that, beginning some time in March, there will be a series of luncheon meetings as part of a fund-raising campaign.

Some of the letters are from friends who are traveling, or who are just back from trips hither and yon around the world, and a few days ago a letter came from Mrs. Eve Prentice who is spending several weeks In India. She Is traveling in the company of Mrs. Mary Redding, another Jackson county resident, and the two women first visited Mrs. Redding's son, the Rev. Elcho Redding, and his family, who are missionaries in India. Mrs. Prentice wrote of their arrival at 3 a.m. in Delhi, having traveled from Bangkok in four hours by jet plane. "The Reddings were there to meet us. Bless them. We got a few winks of sleep in a hotel, and after a breakfast of native food, we started off in Elcho's Jeep station wagon for Landour, 200 miles northwest up in the Himalaya moun tains. We drove across the plains of the Ganges, saw camels, monkeys, water buffalo (which are used like oxen, also for milk) beautiful parrots, and miles of sugar cane fields, world's largest, all being harvested by hand. "The last fouo hours were straight up, 0,000 feet, over the narrowest and crookedest road you could imagine. Ar rived here in Landour at 9 p.m. "This town was originally built by wealthy British and used as a resort to escape the heat on the plains. One house has 72 rooms, with fireplaces in each, Including the bed rooms. There are about 300 missionary families coming here during the hot season Baptists, Methodists, Presby terians, Church of England, etc.; Elcho is with the Evangelical Alliance Mission, the largest Protestant mission in India. "There is a fine, well equipped hospital and a very good private school. The shocking thing was the day we were invited to visit a Tibetan school where Elcho is teach ing. Conditions are pitiful. Four hundred children attend; they have no clothes, no food, only rice, they sleep on the ground, sit on the ground for classes, and bless their hearts, are doing a super job of learning English. The couple in charge of the school were article in the December Readers' Digest. They invited us to stay for tea. It was truly an "Everyone here is so friendly. We've been Invited to dinner parties and tea every day. These houses are literally hanging on cliffs some do fall off. Narrow trails connect them. Some use 'dandys for mock carried by four Indians. we've hiked straight up and like mountain goats. A leopard also a tiger. We saw a large band of monkeys yesterday, Thev were light grey, with white heads and black faces. We browsed around in Landour. Looked dreadful outside, but are very neat and clean inside. We found excellent buys in silks and silver. A tailor is making me a beautiful silk dress for only $1.50. Very nice work. I had a skirt cleaned for 15 cents a perfect job. . "We are leaving today for Bombay a thousand miles southwest. I hope to see the Taj Mahal by moonlight to morrow night, and will stop In Delhi on my way back to see Qileen Elizabeth and Prince Philip who will be there for the Republic day celebration January 26 (today). 'We have reserved scats for the program. "After we return to Landour about February 1, Elcho and I are going to Afghanistan by train. Will go about a thousand miles northwest through the Khyber pass. Prob ably we won't leave India until I'm so thrilled to see this exotic country after so many years of wanting to come here. Elcho and Millie are planning things to see and do which would be impossible otherwise. They both speak the three major languages used, making it mighty easy for us to get around. Their many friends in the Rogue river valley would be very proud of the splendid work they are doing here in India. The natives show much respect and love for them." Before the letter came, Potpourri heard from Miss Anna Streed about the Medford woman's trip to India. Miss Streed received a letter from India from a friend, Mrs, Paul Schoon maker, with a note added to the outside of the envelope saying "You'd never guess who I just met at a neighbor's house Eve Prentice, the director (former) of the Medford accordion band. She Is doing a world tour with the mother of Elcho Redding, a missionary here who was a former pupil of Mrs. Prentice." Miss Streed. who said that since he was a boy living in area, added some Information about his fellow-worker, Paul Schoonmaker. Mr. Schoonmaker, who holds a doctor's degree from Yale and Is also an Assemblies missionary, for the past two years has been in charge of Protestant broadcasts over a powerful radio station in India. The broadcasts are heard In Pakistan, Iraq and Iran; tapes of the programs are made for re-broadcast In Manilla where It is said the mes sages reach into the Interior of China and Siberia. Because of the many languages, his talks must be translated into several dialects, Miss Streed explained. Prior to taking over the radio work, Mr. Schoonmaker was principal of the language school in Landour to send their missionaries, new to Mis. Prentice added a postscript which read: "Will you tell Dr. lnskeep and Mrs. Inskeep that I have not had to use so far any of the antibiotics he made me bring! O.S.

Marc Bohan Advances 'Slim Look7 Paris -IUP1I- Christian Dior's freshman designer, Marc Bo han, 35, tackled the toughest job of the Paris fashion season today - and apparently suc ceeded. Bohan's "slim look," his first collection since he took over as chief designer of the House of Dior, was received with great applause at this morning's first showing. Observers agreed that it had all the makings of a hit. As the curtain went up on his first showing, the young designer who replaced Yves St. Laurent to produce Dior's spring collection told United Press International: "By lengthening the silhou ette the new 'slim look' will make women appear youthful and slender." He also said: "If a woman docs not have 'model legs' she should look In the mirror and follow her own judgment and sense of good taste to choose the skirt length best suited to her." He then proceeded to show a collection reflecting these ideas. A youthfully trim silhou ette with a lowered waistline and slenderizing skirts and even some eyebrow-raising low necklines, were combined in an exciting new look. Bosoms were camouflaged cillier in lanky styles with not much room for curves or in tops easily bloused into dropped waistlines. To follow the Dior tradi tion there were two black dinner dresses slit down to the waist in front and look ing as if the girl did not wear anything underneath.
