Csfe Curtains Medford League Reviews Year; State Senator To Be Speaker Medford League of Women Voters will hold the next general meeting June 4, rather than May 28, it was announced yesterday by Mrs. Lucille Foster, president. Speaking will be State Senator Philip Lowry, who recently returned to the city after the sessions of the legislature in Salem. The league recently complet ed an active 1953-54 year with election of officers. Mrs. Foster points out that at the last five general meetings speakers have talked on individual liberties, United Nations, city govern ment, international trade prob lems and education. In addition the league has sponsored study groups and made a number of surveys. A community trade survey was headed by Mrs. Fred T. Burich, Mrs. John S. Day and Mrs. Gor don McKenzie as a part of the league's national effort to edu cate citizens concerning the ef fect of foreign trade on local communities. Members contact ed the lumber, fruit and agri cultural industries and the con clusion reached was that this country should expand foreign trade in an effort to improve world-wide standards of living. The problem of currency con vertibility and the federal price support program were also dis cussed with business leaders of Medford. Mesdames Wright Scoville, Charles W. Wakefield, Harlan P. Bosworth Jr., William C. Knope and C. Edward Gordon served as league interviewers. Mrs. Leland Mentzer, chair man of the individual liberties item on a freedom agenda, re viewed three booklets for study and discussion at unit meetings, and three more will be studied next year. Mrs. Robert Hinman was chairman for a survey of the town, which included schools, the library and sanitation. Mrs. O. A. Kellogg, chairman of the constitution revision com mittee, presented material for unit study and has worked with the state toward the goal of a constitutional convention in the near future. Mrs. Hugh Collins, voters' ser vice chairman, and her commit tee distributed several hundred voters' service sheets before elec tion last fall, the material having been provided by the state league. The league considers work to ward a state meat inspection law one of its most important accomplishments of recent years. Both local and state leagues had worked for many years for such a law and feel that their efforts helped materially in passing the bill which the last legislature adopted. Mrs. Frank Fairweather was chairman of this committee last Mistletoe Club Holds Card Party Winners at a card party given by Mistletoe club last Wednes day have been announced. High score for pinochle went to Mrs. Yetta Flowers and scor ing low in that game was Mrs. Edith Brown; double pinochle winners were Mrs. William Han scom and Mrs. Flowers, and can asta, high and low, Mrs. Etta Pryor and Mrs. W.

Main Phone 2-6440 year and was aided by Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth and other members. Efforts were redoub led during and before the last legislature because league mem bers and other citizens learned that large quantities of meat re jected in California as unfit for human consumption was being sold in southern Oregon cities. The bill recently passed calls for a "pilot program" to be set up in certain areas, and Mrs. Fairweather urges local citizens to contact Governor Paul Pat terson asking that Medford be named one of the test areas. She points out that Medford citizens worked harder for this legisla tion than other sections of the state, and should be rewarded by having the plan put into op eration as soon as possible. Mrs. Foster also named Mrs. Knope, Mrs. Paul Janney, Mrs. Stanley E. Philips, Mrs. Homer Marx, Mrs. Nick DeWitt and Mrs. Robert Hiatt as board mem bers who have devoted much time and energy to the league program during the last year.

By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent , New York U.R) New prod ucts and noval ideas to make life happier are bustin' out all over this spring. They've opened a hair reviv ing center for men here and somebody announced a new win dow flower box that won't warp, crack or peel. A household spray just out, by the way, there is no connec tion between any of these de velopments, so far as this writer knows is said to retard soil on the furnishings, and a founda tion, garment company is mak ing girdles and brassieres that somehow have "a secret sanitiz ing process" built in. Brides can trade in the old family silver to apply on the payments for a new set, and little boys just got a go ahead to play with dolls from a psy chologist hired by a toy com pany. Busy Winter All in all, there are signs that this past winter was a busy one. Women soon will be able to buy a new eye makeup reported to impart "the gentle-eyed kitten-of-the-Nile look." And the con vention of cosmetic chemists held a panel discussion last week on wrinkles so anything could happen before another winter. While wives adopt the kitten-of-the-Nile-look, husbands may just possibly come home with a cat-who-swallowed-c a n a r y ex pression if this hair revival spreads. They turn a man's hail back to its boyish shade, or as they tell the timid ones at the new Gourelli Men's Hair Cen ter, they "work the natural color back into graying hair with such skin and discretion that years disappear without telling how." Women don't like to tell how, either. Flower Box That new flower box is made of a combination of things, such as glass, fibers and plastic, in pastel shades for second story gardeners. The household soil retarder is a new chemical developed by Du Pont researchers to coat everything from lamp shades to slip covers. The invisible sur facing makes surfaces resist soil instead of absorbing it. As for the innovation in foun dation garments, well, a man named Jess Eisen, vice president of the Model Bra company, says his new "daisy-fresh" girdles and brassieres "prevent perspir ation odors by destroying bac teria." The idea of trading in some thing old and tarnished for something new makes as much sense in the sterling silver busi ness as the automobile business, the Wallace Silversmiths de cided this spring. So the com pany is backing a nationwide policy among retail stores which allows a bride who's buying the company's silver products to trade in anything she can find in the silver drawer, icnluding the whole 52-piece set of well- worn silver plate. Boy's Dolls That announcement about al lowing little boys td play with dolls, which came as unexpect edly as a May snowstorm, gives a parent something to think about until the next set of "Dear Santa Claus" letters. "Children use toys to imitate adult life, and since little boys often see their fathers bathing and feeding the baby, doll play has a very natural place in their lives," Dr. Harold Michal-Smith, a psychologist just hired as con sultant in child play activities by the Ideal Toy corporation, said. If the boy's friends poke fun at him, Dr. Michal-Smith advised a parent to, "tell your child that just because some boys don't play with dolls is no reason why he shouldn't." New Sunshade Made to Cover Walls of Glass Who says there's nothing new under the sun? The National Cotton council reports that this isn't necessarily so down south in Dallas, Texas. A new type of cotton canvas sunshade protects the entire east wall of a modern, forward-looking house. A far cry in design from tradi tional awnings, the canvas sun shade provides the same flexible protection. White vinyl-coated panels, resembling indoor win dow shades, pull down to cover glass walls. Occupants of the house can literally "ring down the curtain" on summer heat, since the panels tie into rings at the foundation. Pleated Panels The panels have horizontally stitched pleats which enable them to be folded up into neat bundles. When protection is not needed, they can be drawn up to four or five inches and hidden under a roof overhang. Decora tive as well as functi&xial, the panels are edged with diamond pointed patches of turquoise can vas. This unusual way of making shade while the sun shines is a featured attraction of House Beautiful's 1955 Pace Setter House. According to the maga zine, the "wall sunshade" intro duces a new method of climate control for east or west windows and walls. Production Needed In the hot time of the year, the sun shines one-third of the day light hours on these exposures. Protection is needed regardless of how well the house is air con ditioned or how well the walls are insulated. The canvas panels on the Dallas home not only completely shade the east wall, but their whiteness helps reflect the heat. To remove iron rust stains from material, wash the gar ment with soap and water, rinse well, then bleach in the sun. Installation of Officers Lake Creek Miss Eula Win termote, county home extension agent, installed officers of the Lake Creek unit at a recent meeting of the group held at the home of Mrs. J. D. Arens. In stalled were Mrs. Wallace Rags dale, chairman; Mrs. Carl Weed, vice-chairman; Mrs. Ernest Bur rell, secretary, and Mrs. Foster Swigert, treasurer. Mrs. Burrell served luncheon and Miss Wintermote led the project on "Living Within Twenty-Four Hours a Day."
