NO OTHER COLA IS CO LOW IN CALORIES s - YET TASTES 0 SO GOOD! a ofPO First Lady Charms Everyone At Lowry Base By POLLY WHITE United Press Corespondent Denver (U.R) Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower ate like a soldier, talked a blue streak and charm ed everyone in sight when she lunched with 480 officers' wives at Lowry Air Force Base yester day. She fussed over a white orchid the ladies provided to set off her navy blue outfit. She dissolved a waiter's embarrass ment with a gentle jest. She posed for pictures with several children. And she limited her thank-you speech to 27 words. It was the third straight year that the officers wives club at Lowry, where the President's vacation offices are located, had Mrs. Eisenhower to lunch. This yer a Denver department store put on a fall fashion show after the big meal, which Mrs. Eisen hower greeted with gusto. The First Lady began with a dry sherry, then waded through tomato juice, baked ham, peas, baked potatoes, salad and sher bet. Then she had two cups of coffee and a cigarette while she gossipped happily with her neighbors at the table. Reassures Waiter When several petals from golden chrysanthemums form ing the center piece at her table fell into her plate, Mrs. Eisen hower saw that her waiter was disconcerted. "I think they might be edible, too," she said to put him at ease. The hearty meal played havoc with her lipstick. Her coffee finished, Mrs. Eisenhower open ed her purse to repair the dam age. "I've eaten all mine off," she said. She took care throughout the lunch to shield her orchid, which had been clipped to her purse, from harm. I'm going to smash it before the day is over," she fretted to Mrs. John C. Sprague, wife of the Lowry Base commander. Leave Taking When Mrs. Eisenhower rose to leave she was surrounded by chattering admirers who want ed a closer look at her chic cos- Ltume, a navy taffeta full-skirted dress, navy shoes, hat and purse, long white gloves, a pearl choker necklace and pearl earrings, and the gift orchid. "I think you all expect me to make a speech or something but I'm not," Mrs Eisenhower said to the group. "It was a love ly luncheon and show. I enjoy ed it very much." carte J fP) REACH FOR Thursday, September 15. 195S Luncheon Party Mrs. Sprague echoed the gen eral sentiment as the gathering broke up.

Girl Scout "Adoption" Program Spreads To Hundreds of New York City Oldsters By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent ' New York More than 500 el derly men and women have been "adopted" by teenage girls here in a unique project that is be ginning to spread to other parts of the nation. As adopted grandparents the old people suddenly find them selves getting cards on their birthdays, candy on Easter, un expected visits from youngsters and even a night out now and then. One grandfather became so popular thatt he girls' parents began including' him in family outings. , "It is one of our most suc cessful projects," a Girl Scout official said. Girl Scout troops in the metropolitan area started the grandparent adoptions five years ago. "The girls gain as much from it as the old people," one di rector of an old people's home pointed out. "We didn't think of that when we first agreed to let them adopt some of our resi dents. But the girls learn some thing about the way old people live." A man actually started the idea. He was the recreation di rector for 1,800 old people liv ing in a city-financed home and hospital on Welfare Island. A check of the records showed that 1,700 of the residents were never visited by relatives or re membered oh holidays. '" "Nobody was interested in them" Arthur H. Holtzman re called. "So any attention the youngsters showed them was in valuable." Now, five years later, 8,000 girls have some part in the lives of 523 old people living in homes for the aged in the five bor oughs. Occasionally a prospective grand parent is apprehensive. One old man worried that he wouldn't know what to talk about when his scout troop ar rived for a visit. The visit ended with the girls sitting on the floor and their adopted grandfather reading them poems he had written and kept carefully hidden away. "We intend to keep our adopt ed grandmother as long as we are a. troop," a group of girls from 10 to 13 years old wrote CALENDAR' Thursday 7:30 p.m. Crater Garden club, home of Mrs. Leonard War ren, 57 North Ninth street, Cen tral Point. 7:45 p.m. Women's associa tion, Hope Presbyterian church, Rogue River, at church. 8:00 p.m. Adarel Chapter No. 3, O.E.S., Jacksonville, for initiation. 12:30 p.m. St. Mark's auxiliary-guild, at church. .2:00 p.m. W.C.T.U., Girls' Community club, business meet ing. - "Princess" Juniper 9037 12.20 try KG "Princess" lumner is voiir very best fall investment--in flattery, unlimited wearability!
