County Officials Honored IN YULE0PEN1NG Feal Persons To Act Home Scenes In Store Windows If Protests Are Lacking. After his plan for a public wedding had been ruled out be cause of protests, Jack Matlack bounced back yesterday with a new feature for the Christmas opening of Mcdford stores on November 26. Matlack, director of the open ing celebration, said he would feature living models in store windows for the opening pro vided there are no protests against this idea. If no objec tions are registered by 9 a. m. Tuesday, Matlack will proceed with arrangements to carry out the idea, he said. This is how the Idea works, Matlack explained: in a drug store window a mother will be seen going through the actions of giving Junior a much-needed dose of castor oil while daugh ter Mary waits to have first aid administered for bruises suffer ed when she fell down the basement stairs. Out For Evening In a women's apparel store window Milady will be seen preparing to go out for the eve ning to a formal event and later returning and reversing the process to retire, Matlack continued. In furniture store windows a family will be seen at home for the night, dad sunk comfortably in the big easy chair reading the evening newspaper, the children sprawl ed on the floor playing with their new Christmas toys and mother knitting patiently and contentedly before the fireplace. Just as though mothers did such things any more, Matlack re Jated. And so it goes: Madame getting beautified in a beauty salon, Joe College meeting with setbacks because of haste to get dressed for a special date, his dressing to be done in a men' shop window, and fathers and mothers being conducted on tours of toyland In department store windows. Director Ducks All the characters in these window portrayals will be real persons, Matlack emphasized. After announcing the new feat ure, he ducked into a bomb proof shelter Just In case any more explosive protests rent his usually calm demeanor. Assuming there will be no protests, Matlack scheduled the unveiling of the windows on his Christmas opening show for 6:30 p. m., the curtains to be rung down again at 8 p. m. The shades on all store windows are to be drawn at noon so that the windows can be dressed for the unveiling, he stated.
