More than 1(10 women, in their
prettiest spring costumes, came

Chapter from closing its doors.
Guests of honor were two of Or
egon's outstanding Red Cross vol
unteer workers: Ray Vester of
Portland, who is a national vice
chairman for fund-raising, and
Mrs. V. F. Fairweather of Mcd
ford, area worker. They were in
troduced by the chairman of the
Douglas County chapter, Judge
Charles S. Woodrich.
Every one of the women pres
ent at the luncheon bad promised
to initiate a scries of fund-raising
social events among her friends
and neighbors. Each guest at these
events was to be asked to con
tinue the chain by giving her own
Red Cross party, and so on, until
everyone had been given t h c Crouch. Mrs. Jack Cummins, Mrs.

Ballerina Could Be New
American Secret Weapon
By DOROTHY ROE I
Associated Press Women s Editor
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP)-A
10-year-old ballerina from Palm
Beach could be an American se
cret weapon.
She is Claudia Cravey, baby
prima ballerina of the first Ameri
can full-length ballet, "The Prin
cess." produced by philanthropist
Frank. J. Hale and Paul Crabtree,
and scheduled to open on Broad
way in the fall. Next in impact
could be her 8-year-old sister,
Clara Beth.
"If we could present these won
derful American kids in this alt
American ballet at the Moscow
World's Fair.' we'd steal all the
thunder of the vaunted Russian
ballet," says Hale. He's the found
er of the Academy Royale, a non
profit institution dedicated to
luncheon at the giving American boys and girls a
the Golden Age i chance to develop their talents in
Uie ballet, the theater and music.
Critics who have seen the fresh
and charming ballet in its initial
presentations in Palm Beach seem
to agree with him. And so docs the
girl who wrote the libretto and
trained the young dancers, Jo
Anna, a ballerina from Durban,
South Africa, wife of the stage
manager, Ted Kneeland.
Canyonville Bible Academy sen
iors brought back gold rush days
Saturday morning when they en
tertained the CBA faculty at break
fast, a departure from the usual
faculty-senior formal banquet. The
theme. "We've Struck Gold" was
carried out in decorations and pro
gram, i
Real and simulated gold pans
against decorations in black and
yellow, together with student wait
ers in Western dress set the mood
for the breakfast cooked by moth
ers of students, Airs. C. J. Brent
and Mrs. Mary Willis.
Walter Hixson, senior class pres
ident, served as master of cere
monies, introducing the special mu
sical numbers: a duet by Carolyn
Brent and Carol Smith, a clarinet
solo by Lcs Taylor and a duet by
the Rev. and Mrs. John Fenderson.
The main speaker of the occa
sion was the Rev. Mr. Fenderson,
former CBA instructor and present
pastor of the Tri-City Baptist
Church.

Newcomers Club
To Lunch April 14
The Roseburg Newcomers Club
will meet Tuesday, April 14, for a
12:30 luncheon at the home of Mrs.
Morris Bowker, 1367 SE Main.
Reservations must be made by
Sunday. April 12, and may be ob
tained by calling Mrs. M. E. Hard
at OR 2-1511 or Mrs. Earl Cris
mon at OR 3-7003.
"We've all been taken in by a lot
of intellectually snobbish hocus
pocus about the ballet," says Jo
Anna. "Our intention here is to
present a form of ballet which the
general public can understand,
and which gives an opportunity to
the wonderful, fresh talent of
American youngsters.
"You don't have to starve in a
garret and live on borsht for 20
years to be a great ballerina. The
proof is in these children who have
captivated audiences at the Royal
Poinciana Playhouse, after train
ing of only a few months."
"We're in on the ground floor of
a great new national awakening
of art in America," says Hale.
"Kids all over the country, in
small towns and on farms from
Maine to Arizona are feeling the
urge to express themselves. If
they've got what it takes, they'll
have a chance to show it here.
We screen applicants for the acad
emy, and if they make the grade,
they get scholarships. In this one
year of operation, we've found
that American youngsters do have
what it takes. '
"I think we can beat Russia on
all fronts not only in the field ol
I Sputniks, but also in the field of
ineir own uauci.

A baby is more important than
an Academy award any day, says
Dionae ana neautitul uioria Gra
hame, who gave up her movie ca
reer at its height to stay home
and take care of her baby daugh
ter. For two years Gloria has been
concentrating on formulas and
playpens rather than Klieg lights,
giving full attention to Marianna
Pauletle, now 2, and her son Dav
id, now 10.
All of a sudden I just felt it
wasn't fair to the baby just to
leave her with a nurse when she
was so little," she said. I felt lone
some for her and I wasn't around
her. So I just dropped everything
and went in for being a fulltime
mother."
Gloria, who has starred both on
Broadway and in Hollywood, now is
making a new picture, "Odds
Against Tomorrow," filmed in New
York. She arranged her schedule,
however, so she would be away
from her home in Van Nuys, Calif.,
only two weeks.
"I call up the children every
night. It's awful to be so far away
from them," she said.
Little Marianna was born in
Paris, soon after Gloria completed
the London filming of "The Man
Who Never Was," with Clifton
Webb. Soon after the baby's birth
Gloria and her husband, writer
producer Cy Howard, were divorc
ed. "I guess that had something to
do with my feeling," says Gloria.
"I felt that the baby deserved the
full-time attention of at least one
parent." ,
Gloria was born In Pasadena,
Calif., daughter of Jean MacDou
gall, a British actress. She started
her stage career immediately aft
er graduation from high school,
first making a name on Broad
way, then going to- Hollywood,
where shw won an Academy nomi
nation for her first picture, and
got an Oscar for the best support
ing performance of the year in
"The Bad and the Beautiful."
"I hope now I'U be able to make
a few pictures and still spend most
of my time with the children,"
says Gloria. "A career is nice,
of course, but children are nicer."

Appeal To Scientists
Made For New Cold Pill
By DOROTHY ROE
Here's a woman's-eyo view of
what is wrong with the world,
written behind a barricade of pill
bottles, tissues and cough medi
cine. Scientists should stop trying to
conquer outer space until they suc
ceed in conquering the common
cold. '
In this age of modern miracles,
why hasn't some geniu-! come up
with a miracle cold pill? This, I
am sure, would be of far more
benefit to suffering humanity than
a moon satellite.

We have push-button kitchens,
no-iron clothes, jet airplanes and
guided missiles, yet half the
world's population is still sneez
ing. My outlook may be slightly
jaundiced on account of having
been unduly exposed for the last
few'duys to a steady barrage of
television commercials running
something like this:
"At the first sneeze, take mir
acle sniffle-eeze . . ."
"For all cold ills, take our jet
propelled pills . . ."
"Chase cold germs away the
modern way ..."
"Cold miseries slop with super
charged glop . . ."
The cold, hard facts are that
even in the current space age,
atomic scientists and hard-working
housewives alike may still he fell
ed by the old-fashioned common
cold, and there's precious little
they can do about it that's differ
ent from what grandma used to do.
I've been consuming quantities
of the newest miracle pills as duly
prescribed by a doctor, but I'm
still in bed drinking hot lemonade,
like grandma used to do. .
