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."

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

Individual attention is the key
to the project's success, Holtz

other gifts.
