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.

The contents of the mall bag have been exceptionally
interesting in recent weeks. 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

to stay for tea. It was truly an

we've hiked straight up and

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.
