4 Galsworthy's Tale Has New Ending in Stayton Stayton Victor Philip Lancefield felt in 1888 that London, England held little in (tore for him. "Do the same job your father did" it seemed to say for around him were men who had worked all their lives without a raise in pay. At first, a homestead in the desert near Los Angeles didn't prove America much better, but1 when he tried Corvallis, Ore. in 1890 it began to seem like the land of opportunity after all. Lancefield spent four years there making and repairing shoes and he married a Corval lis girl. Then, after some years in Portland, they moved to a farm on Fern Ridge. The shoe business lured him back, though, and he opened a combined shoemaker's shop and drygoods store in Stayton in 1905. He has been in business here since; since 1911 in the same location on Third street just across the bridge over the Salem ditch. For many years his store served as an agency for the Wells-Fargo Express company. A lot of the pioneer flavor still clung to the express company. Lancefield keeps many memo ries of incidents which occurred. C. P. Burmester became asso ciated with him in 1921. The as sociation is still flourishing with Burmester's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Don Roach now operating the dry goods store. The shoe repair department still offers old-time craftsman ship, and boast's the city's only shoe-shine stand. Supplementing It in the drygoods store is a shoe department featuring Friedman Shelby and Red Goose shoes. Many other well-known brands of merchandise are featured in the drygoods store. It has stocked Ball Band rubber goods for many years, a fact brought home to Roach recently on a visit to the factory. "You're not Mr. Lancefield?"

Todd, who produces shows.noted some 3,600 young women durlngs- auditions for his current broad way spectacle, "Peep Show." "It took us all those girls to find 50 with the proper appeal," he said ruefully. "Girls today either look like somebody's re lative or like the cold model type." Time was when the broadway producers had no such dilemma. Blonde actress Joan Blondell, Todd's former wife and star of his musical "The Naked Genius" typified the better days, in his opinion. "She's the buxom type, the kind that's hard to find any more," he said. Personality is more important than perfect measurements, Todd insisted, despite raised eye brows from men who have view ed the shapely figures gener ously displayed in his current musical. 'The 50 girls in the show average 5 feet 1 inches and they don't wear falsies, but outside of that we didn't check their measurements," he said. He claimed the thing modern girls seem to be losing is a personality that makes men want to rumple their hair. They get an alabaster person ality like the models, or else they act like somebody's sis ter," Tod said. None of the scantily - clad young ladies in Todd's new show could be accused of either fault. "I hope to bring women back for beautiful girls, looked over with this show," Todd said "Canasta, baseball and televi sion have been taking the place of women lately. Somebody be sides me better start worrying about it."
