Interesting Faces
Better in Movies "
Than Pretty Ones.
Atlanta, Ga. (U.R) Girls
who are only pretty don't get far
in Hollywood, Clarence Sinclair
Bull, top glamor photographer,
says and he ought to know.
Bull, one of Hollywood's lead
ing " still photographers, said
"really pretty faces just don't
seem to last" in the movie mecca.
"It's the interesting faces," he
added, "that folks remember."
As the manager of Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer's still photograph
department, Bull has had plenty
of opportunities to focus on love
ly faces. In the Bull album of
greats were Greta Garbo, Jean
Harlow, Elizabeth Taylor, -Lana
Turner, and Debbie Reynolds.
Out of all those big name stars
he picked Jean Harlow as the
most photogenic. "She photo
graphed well from any angle,"
he said, "needed little make-up
and had the most perfect lips I've
ever seen."
Garbo, he said, "had the big
gest inferiority complex" of any
body he ever knew. She "was
wonderful with people she knew,
but froze when a stranger came
on the set."
Bull, currently on a national
tour, has won six academy
awards for photographic work.
Some stars, he said, have phys
ical faults that must be touched
up or are temperamental to work
with. He hastened to add that
others were pleasant and cooper
ative. In that class he put Esther
Williams, Debbie .Reynolds and
Pier Angeli.

Medford's Bargain" Comer
Through the joint efforts of 'the Oregon
Commission for the Blind and Jackson county

Arts, Crafts Program for Blind
Reactivated in Jackson County
An arts and crafts program for the visually handicapped of
Jackson county is being reactivated in Medford, and the first
meeting was held in the courthouse auditorium Thursday after
noon. The class is being sponsored jointly by the Oregon Com
mission for the blind and the Jackson county chapter, American
Red Cross. '
Instructor for the class Thurs
day was Mrs. Vera Thompson,
Portland field representative for
the education and social ser
vice department of the commis
sion for the blind. Mrs. Thomp
son, herself totally blind, teach
es crafts, homemaking, Braille,
typing and other subjects to the
blind throughout , the state.
In addition she seeks out these
who are having visual difficul
ties to acquaint them, with the
sight-saving and . restoration
program of the commission.
Mrs. Thompson is remaining
in Medford through September
19 and m?" be contacted at the
home of Mrs. Chris Zink, who
is a volunteer liaison worker
for the commission in this coun
ty. There are about 135 resi
dents of the county who are
totally blind or have severe vis
ual handicaps, according to Mrs.
Thompson.
The Red Cross service to the
community corps aids the com
mission and Mrs. Thompson by
providing transportation for the
blind for the classes and far
various activities. They provide
the white canes which the blind
use, and help instruct those who
must use them.
The community, service corps
was conceived in Jackson coun
ty a few years ago and the city
and chapter earned nation-wide
recognition as a . result. - The
corps administers funds donat
ed by Medford Duplicate Bridge
club and other bridge clubs of
the valley who each year spon
sor a giant card tournament to
raise funds for the visually han
dicapped. Special toys for blind
children, purchase of supplies
for the crafts and of phonogranh
records are some of the uses for
the money.
At last week's session a group
of women gathered to learn to
make decorative hat pins. Some
have partial sight, but the craft
was " learned mostly by touch
with Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Zink

Fabric Finishes
May Deceive,
Says Specialist
Pullman Be sure the beauty
of that new fabric you buy is
not only finish deep.
Mrs. Marjorie Lusk, extension
clothing specialist at Washing
ton State college, points out that
a finish cannot turn an inferior
fabric into a good one.
The fabulous new finishes
coming on the market, she says,
may tend to keep buyers from
taking a good look at the fabric
itself. And that would be a mis
take for anyone who buys on a
budget.
As for the finishes, Mrs. Lusk
says that magic in the labora
tories can now make cotton look
like silk, wool fabrics wash like
cotton, and transform a smooth,
shiny rayon fiber into a fabric
that rivals wool in appearance
and warmth. 'Even the most
marvelous of the new finishes,
however, cannot produce a fab
ric that can be all things for all
purposes.
And jiot one of the finishes
can transform a shoddy fabric
into a durable piece of material.
What's more, the new finishes
increase the cost as they all re
quire extra expense for labor,
equipment and materials. '
One company that produces a
compound to make a fabric flame
resistant figures that the treat
ment would make a yard of a
sheer fabric cost 2 or 3 cents
extra. If it's a heavy fabric, how
ever, the cost might go up 25
or 30 cents a yard.
A special finish may be worth
the extra cost, of course, if it
makes a good fabric serve its
purpose better, or-cuts down the
time; energy and money needed
to keep it looking good.
The important thing to re
member in buying fabrics, the
WSC specialist says, is to be sure
both fabric and finish are dur
able and will look good long
after the first laundering.
Use baking soda- to remove
starch stuck to an iron. Rub the
iron with a damp cloth sprinkled
with the soda, after the iron is
disconnected and cool. The soda
will not scratch the highly-polished
surface.

New York (U.R) A week in
Manhattan: -
Paris must have some fall
clothes left on that side of the
Atlantic, but the past 10 days
have seen so many straight-from-Paris
fashion shows here that we
seem to have most of the French
originals on our side.
The Fashion group, an or
ganization of fashion writers,
designers, manufacturers and re
tailers, collected an hour-long
show of ; top French ; imports
Thursday ..from various stores

Severe black dresses and suits
worn with incredible hats are
part of the new import fashions
from Paris.
Mrs. John C. McCutchen,
mother of the Marine captain
who walked away with $64,000
this week for his knowledge of
food, says her to sons "learned
about food from the start" by
doing the grocery shopping when
they still wore knee pants.
She didn't set out to teach her
son, Richard, to be a food expert,
however. And she couldn't have
answered the question that won
him the $64,000.
