PARIS —French dressing?
Why there'* nothing to it, the av-
erage housewife will say. It's .1
mixture of oil, vinegar, salt and
pepper.
But how wrong you can be.
Ask the chef at a leading Paris
restaurant how he makes his dress-
ing and a reflective gleam comes
into his eye.
The chef at Maxim's, the gold
and glitter restaurant of the Paris
haute monde, says modestly:
"There's no secret to our salad
dressing."
"But,' he adds, "*e use the pur-
est olive oil."
Yes, and the vinegar employed
at Maxim's is made from vintage
wines and allowed to age for sev-
eral years in the aristocratic com-
pany of Napoleon brandies and fine
champagnes in the Maxim cellars
until it reaches maturity*
Then and Only Then
"Only then," says Monsieur
Yaudable. "is it abie to give the
proper aroma to the sauce."
The chef at the Tour d'Argent,
another gourmets' mecca, dishes
up a trifle he calls "saiade roger."
Its basics are a frixxy head of
chicory, some celery stalks and
the insides—yes. the insides—of
several baked potatoes .
Season with salt, pepper, oil, vin-
egar, white wine and a little must-
ard.
Add a few thick slices of well-
done hearti of artichoke and some
bits of mushroom—raw mush-
room—chopped fine.
Attack these ingredients with a
will and a chopper, hack up thor-
oughly and your salad is ready
for the ultimate consumer.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS:
I am using this means to contact the voters of Stephens County before
the run-off election. I wish to assure each and every voter that it is my
honest and firm indention to make you a good sheriff.
I feel that I can do this for the following reasons: I have had a number
of years of experience in peace officer work and I know how to handle the
job. I can work with the various other branches of the law enforcement
agencies to make a "good member of the team". I know the problems of
the city police, the county law enforcing bodies, the State police, and the
methods of our national law-enforcing agencies. I have worked with oil of
them. They know me and I know them. I know their methods and I can
work closely with them to give Stephens County the best kind of law en-
forcement.
I have lived in Stephens County all of my life and the people of Brecken-
ridge and Stephens County have known me, and know that I am the type
of man who wilt do what he says he will do. I know the problems facing our
country and our people, and I am willing to get the job done.
That is my promise to each and every pne of you—I'll do the best job
possible as your sheriff, and I'll do my best at alt times On this basis, I
earnestly solicit your support and your vote for sheriff of Stephens County
on August 28.
Sincerely your friend,
