State Convention Plans
Made By Teacher Group;
Mrs. Canocfe Is Speaker

Delta Kappa Gamma made
plans for the state convention at

held in the Girls Community
club with Miss Florence Allen

packages mailed by members of
the chapter. Interesting letters
from recipients were read. These
had been translated from Ger
man into English for reading at
the meeting.
The program was in charge of
the committee on legislation.
Miss Hazel King, co-chairman,
presented a recording of a recent
talk by Cecil Posey in which he
discussed "the children's bill"
and the advantages its passage
would assure to the school chil
dren of Oregon. The a cappella
choir of Grants Pass high school
also appeared on the recording,
the meeting at which the record
ing was made having been re
cently held in Grants Pass.
Mrs. Blanche Canode spoke on
current events in education. She
mentioned the present status of a
bill for federal aid to public
schools and recommended con
tinued effort on the part of this
group toward the final passage
of this. Pertinent articles ap
pearing in current magazines
were mentioned, as well as new
books, for further information
and reading convenience.
Hostesses were Miss Ethel
Reid. Mrs. Petty Powell, Miss
Lillian Nicholson. Miss Grace
Lytle. Miss Edith Bork and Miss
Juanita Smith and Mrs. Bertha
Haskins, past president of the
local chapter, witn miss uotk, b

A social hour followed the last
meeting of Olive Rebekah lodge,

ard, Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Howard,
O. L. Hull. Mrs. Irene Shirley,

and her officers all wore charm

green paper. These had been
made by Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. B.

The
whirled, docile as a dummy,
while Master Tailor Seymour
Fox fitted shoulders and waist
lines on $1,000 worth of suits
and coats to the figure he de
scribes effectively as a "wow!
But she stamped when he
reached for the hemline.
"Fifteen inches, I think," said
Fox, who first knew Miss Taylor
as a little girl of 12.
"Oh!" screamed the actress.
"No!"
She won. They'll be 13 inches
off the floor.
And it's a pleasure, Fox said
to give in to such a charming
customer. In a whirlwind three
weeks between radio appear
ances and dancing evenings with
fiance Conrad H. Hilton Jr. the
beauteous Elizabeth has bought
so much trousseau she can't re
member all of it, and charmed
the clothes right out of the hands
of everyone she s bought from.
"She's so helpful and so appre
ciative," said Fox. who first met
the hour-glass figured actress
when he was making costumes
for the air forces "winged Vic
tory." One of the four suits and
two coats he is making her is a
wedding present from himself,
and so are the fittings
In addition there have been
dresses and belts and gloves and
blouses and trousseau lingerie,
And some 35 hats from Sally
Victor, which can be guessed to
have cost S60 a throw.
"A man came in while she was
here," said Mrs. Victor, "to buy a
hat for his wife. She modeled
everything for him imagine!
And then she gave him the sales
talk. She s wonderful.
"I love it all," said Miss Tay
lor. "I can't even wait. I ve worn
some of them already.
The Fox suits and coats ad
vance models from his fall col
lection for the stores included
a navy blue gabardine suit with
wide white pique revers; a gray
flannel suit with a red velvet
collar; suits in pale blue wool
and black silk faille. The coats
are a double-breasted, flare
skirted faille to match the suit
and a swinging gray tweed Fox
had made in Dior s Paris work
rooms. "Two trunks, and some suit
cases, of course, and hatboxes,"
guessed Elizabeth, will hold the
trousseau for the grand tour of
Europe. The honeymoon will
start with a week "somewhere
in the West" and a visit back
home for Mother's day.
"The hips will kind of stick
out. won t they, asked the ac
tress of her tailor, batting her
big black eyelashes. "That kind
of camouflages my own."
Fox said they would, but he
didn t know why she worried.
"There are very few figures
like Elizabeth Taylor s, he said
reverently. "Wow!

classic of American theater. A
synopsis of the three-act play dis
closes that it concerns what a
Little theater should not be but
often is. First act shows a re
hearsal in unglamorous rawness
and the second act brings the
collapse of what had been in
tended to be a play, caused by
circumstances ranging from the
outraged directress to the vil
lain s unadhesive mustache.
The result is an uproarious third
act.
Cast of the play takes six male
and six female characters. Paula
Ritter is described as a charming
wife of that elusive age which is
closest a woman ever gets to
thirtv-five. intelligent but de
lightfully irresponsible.
Frederick Ritter. Paula's hus
band, is both piqued and per
plexed by his wife's thespian an
tics and finally cans a nan to me

fort to become a dramatic ac
tress. Mr. Hossefrosse. a well
fed man of 38. is the villain of
the Droduction. Ralph Twiller
and Ted Spearing are two long
suffering young actors.
Clara Shepherd is described as
having a brief but priceless role
and Mr. Stagemanager is a lack
adaisical type whose unexcitable
attitude is the final straw in de
struction of the play.

The development promises
great things for garden fanciers

By the pelleting process, the
seeds are coated with hormones,
fertilizer, vitamins and if that
isn't enough, they get a layer of
fungicides to make sure they will
pop up through the soil, beat
down any and all weeds and
stand the cold weather without a
layer of straw.
Arnold Davis, director of the
Garden Center, said much back
breaking labor will be saved by
using the seeds. He said trans
planting and thinning is a thing
of the past.
Davis also claims that one
package of the seed will cover
twice the area of the old type,
the birds notwithstanding.
