1900 1950 2000
Six-Foot-Two Dianas Seen
Likely for the Year 2000
By VIVIAN BROWN
(AP Newsfeatures)
: In the year 2000 people will talk about the Gibson girl as If
she'd been a pygmy.
Six-feet-two Dianas will hide those family albums revealing
their "midget ancestry" and little sister's favorite doll will wear
granny's wedding dress.
Since 1900 women have been
growing by leaps and bounds.
In that year the average wo
man was about 5 feet tall, wore
a size .three shoe and was as
dainty as a Dresden figurine. To
day 36 per cent of the female
population is between 5 ft. 4 in.
arid 5 ft. 10 in. and at age
18 the average shoe size is seven.
By the year 2000, experts
figure that the ratio should
have orept up to a height of be
tween S ft. 10 in. and 6 ft. 2 in.
and shoes will look like violin
cases.
Today's modest little giantesses
do not know their own strength.
But any year now they should,
and just wait until they do, says
beauty expert Ann Delafield
who explains:
"Nature seems bent on pro
ducing a new race of Amazons.
Within the next 50 years you'll
find the emancipated'woman en
gaging actively in such sports as
football, baseball and soccer.
She'll think nothing of chopping
the wood and acting as family
car mechanic."
Miss Delafield has found that
the shoulders of girls in her
beauty success school are two to
three inches wider than their
mothers', their gloves are several
sizes large than Mon's, and many
a gal stoops down to kiss her
teen age boy friend. Says Miss
Delafield:
"Goodness knows what will
happen if they continue to soak
up vitamins and sunshine and
just keep sprouting. Girls from
the sunshine states, California,
Texas and New Mexico can
dwarf the girls from the North
east."
That's one thing our future
Paula Bunyons must guard
against the danger of the sun.
The average girl bakes her
face and just develops a large
batch of wrinkles three months
in the sun can age her three
years, says Miss Dalafield, and
at this rate in the year 2,000
young girls will look older and
wrinkled, she believes.
Sunshine should be absorbed
gradually, measured out more
by the teaspoon than the table
spoon, she says.
Apparently, women are going
to be hard to distinguish from
their brothers according to hair
dresser Victor Vito who says:
"By the year 2000, women
will be wearing completely mas
culine hair styles. They will be
doing a man's work, in many
instances, so it will be a ques
tion of wearing a regular boy's
bob for most of their activities."
Victor believes that the boyish
bob will bring the wearing of
wigs into great prominence. His
"crystal ball' says women will
Emergency Aid
In Xmas Fires
Emergency aid for several
families in the Salem area re
sulted in some measure of
brightness for what otherwise
would have been a bleak Christmas.
Hardest hit Dy holiday tra
gedy was the Hayward Hankins
family living near Lebanon.
Their farm home burned Christ
mas eve shortly after gifts had
been exchanged. The loss includ
ed all toys for six children.
Bedding and clothing have
been donated by the American
Legion auxiliary and a house
found for them by the Lebanon
Red Cross chapter with the Le
banon Elks providing the family
with a Christmas dinner.
The family left home shortly
before the fire occurred. Han

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Vigue, of
Sweet Home, left for Seattle for
a holiday visit and upon return
found their home a mass of de
bris, fire having consumed the
dwelling. The Vigues operated a
steak house.
Relatives and friends joined
in an effort to make the holidays
more cheerful for the John Tur-
rentine family, who were left
homeless when their apartment
at Four Corners was gutted by
fire during mid-week. They have
a seven months old boy and lost
all personal possessions. He has
been unemployed since a recent
operation.
The Turrentines were guests
of relatives over Christmas and
the family was also given some
immediate assistance by a fra
ternal organization. Residents of
the Four Corners district are
making further plans to assist
the family.
Lonely Lioness
Gets Groom, 'Pasha'
Portland, Ore., Dec. 27 (U.R '
Pasha, a mate for Queenic, lone

Pope Opens Holy Year Pope Pius XII raps on the great
door of St. Peter's Cathedral in Vatican City with a gold,,
cilver and ivory hammer to start the 1950 Holy year of the
Roman Catholic church. One million persons knelt in prayer
in and around Rome's four basilicas to usher in the year-long
25th jubilee of the church which the Pontiff dedicated to the
fight against communism and atheism. (Acme Radio-Tele-photo)

Try Secret Society Case
The lone quest for a judge, so far fruitless, to try the case of
Lebond vs. Salem school district and others involving 18 youths
who were suspended for alleged secret society affiliations has

docket and a new date will have to be set when it is determined
what judge will try the case.

different hairstyles to wear at
home, for parties, and for parti
cular occasions ... or perhaps
to distinguish them from their
brothers and husbands.
Her hairdo in general for
everyday work and play will be
cut like a man's, with the possi
bility of a few straight bangs
across the front, says Victor, who
adds:
"At this point I wouldn't even
guess what men will look like."

gone to Judge H. K. Zimmerman
of Astoria asking him to serve
but so far no answer has been
received.
Last week the court sent a re
quest to Judge Arlis Walker of
Polk and Yamhill counties ask
ing him to sit on the case but he
asked to be excused and was.
Judge Walker advised that he
and Frank B. Bennett, city su
perintendent of schools and a
defendant, are close friends, that
he also has many friends among
the teaching profession here and
would prefer not to be assigned.
Previously the court had ask

declined after explaining his at

Another matter which may

plaintiffs that the case may con

Father t Bride
By Edward Streeter, Illustrated by Gluyas Williams
Look closely at the gentleman on
the left. He is Mr. Stanley Banks.
You are about to follow him through
an heroic ordeal. Starting as a normal
fellow, who had always thought of a
wedding as a simple little get-together
which usually resulted in two people
becoming married, you will see him
change to a bewildered, bedeviled and
befogged wreck as he watches the
rise of The Greatest Show on Earth
and the fall of his bank account. For
he, poor fellow, is the FATHER OF
THE BRIDE.

In just the four years since the war, Pacific Telephone gamed as many telephones m the West as m the previous 19 years. :
West's four-millionth telephone goes to work
1. Takes a lot of equipment to serve 4,000,000 telephones
making 22,000,000 calls a day. In just the few high-speed
years since the war, we've almost doubled our facilities as
measured in dollars. And those dollars have produced re
Bulta. For example: It took 45 years to install our first
million telephones, 17 years to install the second million,
6 years for the third... and only 3'2 years for the fourth.
3. Your own telephone today is more valuable as a re
sult of the many we've added. You can call more of the
people you want to call more can call you. And your tele
phone does its work, big jobs and small, for only a few
pennies a call. It's one of the best buys you can make with
your dollars today.
2. Service keeps on improving as we add this new
equipment. Today you can get the dial tone or the opera-jl
tor quickly in almost every exchange. Long Distance calls
nine out of ten of them, go through while you stay on the..
line...often in half a minute if you know the number. It'sj
a good record. But we won't be satisfied until everyone whoj
wants service has it. ..the best service ever.
Your telephone is one of i
today's best bargains
