I MEDrOnD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Hornbrook Pair Returns Home From San Bias Hornbrook Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Jacobs have returned from a month's vacation in Mexico. They made the trip in their small foreign car. Most of their time was spent in the small fishing vil lage of San Bias, on the Pa cific coast. Mr. Jacobs stated this was one of the least Americanized of the many places they have visited the several trips they have made to the country of our neigh bors to the south. Also, he said the accommodations were ex cellent and the price's reason able. San Bias, where the "oys ters grow on trees," was named for the Catholic priest who founded the town over 300 years ago, and was the first port established on the west coast of Mexico. It was from here that Father Juni- pero Serra sailed up the west coast to found a number of Franciscan missions in Baja California and California. All the mission bells were said to have been cast in San Bias. Where the "oysters grow on trees" is no myth, accord ing to Mr. Jacobs. Mangrove trees, natives of tropical coasts, grow in the mud along the rivers and estuaries, and the long aerial roots sent down from the horizontal branches above dip into the water and take root. Oysters and other shellfish cling to these roots in large clusters, so that a root may be cut off and pulled up and the oysters picked from them. Coconut groves surround the town, and bananas by the "thousands of acres" be gin about two miles back of the beach and stretch for miles and miles inland and up and down the coast. A Mardi Gras fiesta was held for the three days previous to Ash Wednesday. The parade started at the altar in the Catholic church from where the life size statue of San Bias was carried through the streets to the estuary. Here is was placed in a boat and taken up the river, still in parade fashion with many other boats joining the pro cession. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs hired an Indian and his dugout canoe-equipped with an out board motor-and "went along for the ride." They also attended the Mar di Gras held at Mazatlan, about 150 miles north of San Bias, on the coast, and made several other shorter side trips. This was the sixth trip the Jacobs have made to Mexico, during which they have visited all sections of the country. En route south, they visited briefly in Calcxico, Calif., with Mr. and Mrs. Jose Acos ta. Mrs. Acosta is a sister of Charles Grieve of Hornbrook.

Liberty From Conformity Sought by Manufacturer By GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York - Women have argued the pros and cons of pointed toe shoes ever since they stepped onto the fashion scene five years ago! Some held that the sharpen ed shape created bunions and corns where they'd never cropped up before. Others maintained that the pointed toe was more comfortable be cause the shoe was built with added length. But either for or against, we all followed Dame Fashion and adopted the needle look How long will it live? One pace setter in the field be lieves the pointed shapes will go on and on, but that other Girl Scouts Court of Awards Girl Scout Troop 192, Hed rick Junior High school, held a court of awards at the home of Mrs. Ralph Hibbs 190 White Oak drive.

"I say, with liberty from conformity for all," said Ben Sommers, paraphrasing the pledge of allegiance. "There is room for the pointed toe, the oval, the rounded,- the squared off. But it takes mer chandising genius to convince the American woman of this ... to free her from conform ity." "We make the pointed toes so they won't hurt the feet," said Sommers. "Toes longer . . . shoe wide enough through the ball of the foot." Sommers, at 54, is president of Capezio, the firm which started as a dancer's cobbler and eventually went into the wholesale and retail field to bring a new softness of leath er and comfort to female foot wear. Receives Award This week, the National Shoe Retailers association gave Sommers its annual Mer cury award for outstanding contribution to the shoe busi ness. Talk with Sommers and the conversation covers a stagger ing assortment oi topics from patriotism ("I'm prone to flag waving"), to youth fitness ("How you live from 15 to 25 builds the base for what you can do after 40"), to govern ment ("We have the finest economic system ever devel oped by man . , . but we're going to have to learn to put me cultural aspects above the dollar aspects"), to brother hood ("We at Capezio have a Jewish president, three Ital ian partners and an Irish treas urer"), to his 40 years in shoe making. I began as an errand bov with Capezio in 1920," said Sommers. He referred to the company's founder, Salvatore Capezio, who first operated a small shop around the corner from the Metropolitan Opera house. Here, he fashioned bal let and theater slippers for dancers and opera buffs alike. Today, Sommers said, the firm supplies 90 per cent of all dancer shoes and 50 per cent of those used in the theater. The company's major influ ence on the whole industry began in 1942 when the late Claire McCardell, the New York designer, introduced its ballet slippers to the Ameri can public. In 1947, the firm offered its dancer shoe with medium-high, Louis heel, and in 1957, brought out the danc er s tights. All have been eoo- ied by numerous manufactur ers and have become basic parts of the American wo man's wardrobe.
