s Republican Leader Speaks On Party Responsibilities Women of the Republican party should make it their duty to see that the story of the party's accomplishments and progress is told to everyone, according to Miss Bertha Adkins, assistant to the Republican national chairman. Miss Adkins spoke at a luncheon meeting yesterday' noon at Rogue Valley Country club, attended by about 150 men and women. .. Miss Adkins said in her opin ion personal missionary work and contacts are the best meth ... od of spreading facts and infor t mation about the party, this word-of-mouth campaign to be augmented bv the press, radio, television and other means of communication. The speaker reviewed the ac complishments of the party, say ing that in the three short years of the Eisenhower administra tion the nation had moved from war to peace, had seen incomes go up, production and employ ment rise, and the end of in flation. Touching briefly on the pres ent farm price problem, Miss Adkins said that while it was a fundamental principle of the party to rely mainly on individ ual effort and initiative, that whenever a segment of the na tion's economy needed bolster ing, the party would take action. She stressed that "we now have the greatest peace time prosper ity ever known in this nation." Miss Adkins said that Presi dent Eisenhower's illness made it more important than before for every party member to take his full share of responsibility, since "he must not do more than he can physically carry." - She said In her opnion "Ike is the most dedicated public servant of any man I know" and said that his unselfish devotion and spirit of dedication had spread to oth er party leaders. Miss Adkins said the coming campaign would stress local is sues, and warned that the oppo sition would make every effort to distract the voters from the truth. She read from a recent party release which reviewed information recently printed in a Democratic publication, and then read the Republican's re futation of the information. Many concerned the power ques tion, and she said in passing that "Secretary McKay has done a terrific job." The speaker touched on the federal budget, saying it would be balanced within another year, said the party was elimi nating waste and extravagance and that the work must be al lowed to continue since we can not achieve our goals in one administration." She closed by saying that women continue their political efforts in spite of the many frustrations because they recog nize its importance and because "we must add our part to the heritage of this nation." During the question ' period she was asked "how are we go ing to defeat Morse" and an swered that this could only be done by "door to door work and personal effort." Mrs. Stephen G. Nye presid ed, and the speaker was intro duced by Mrs. Marshall Cornett, Klamath Falls, national com- mitteewoman. Mrs. Cornett was introduced by Mrs. Robert Kee- ney. program chairman.

Post-War Japan Experiences Boom In Dressmaking By JOSEPH GRANT United Press Correspondent Tokyo tU.R) The ' dressmak ing boom, one of the strangest post war phenomena to hit Ja pan, reached a climax this month wherr'one school enrolled 5,000 new students. - But. even with the rush to design and wear western style clothes, department stores re port no notable decrease in the sale of the traditional kimono. :The interest of young Japa nese women in dressmaking means big money for the schools. One school, the Bunka Fukuso Gakiun, now has a total enroll ment of 10,000 in its day and night classesi employs 300 teach ers and runs 10 dormatories to house 1,500 students from out of town. This school now is building a nine-story building at a cost of almost Sl.OOO.OOO to consolidate its facilities. Tuition, by Japanese stand ards, is not cheap. The new stu dent pays 1,000 yen (S2.78) for entrance examinations, a $10 entrance fee, $35 tuition for one year and $8 for school bonds. Asked why so many girls want to go to dressmaking school, one school administration officer said "now a girl cant' get married unless she knows something aBout dressmaking. In other words, ours is a modern bride's school. t "We even have several re quests for prospective brides, but when there are 10,000 girls you just can't decide. So we tell the applicants to stand outside the school gates and Iook lor themselves." GRANGE Shady Cove Grange The Shady Cove Grange held its social meeting Oct. 26.

(International) Sweaters Are Bulkier, Holiday Hats Bigger, Say Reports From New York By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) A week in Manhattan: If Jeanne Campbell, prize-win ning young fashion designer, has her way the college girls will be around the campus in bulky sweaters that make the old "Sloppy Joe" co;ed sweaters seem downright shrunken. ( Miss Campbell, one of three young designers who this week won the annual Coty American Fashion Critics' Award, has de signed sweater jackets to wear with straight skirts or tapered slacks. The bulky knitted jackets come in plain colors and .bold stripes. 0 " Sweater dresses go to the other extreme. They're light-weight, clinging knits ttiat can be changed around with different belts and jewelry. Holiday hats are bigger, and brighter if possible than they were last Christmas season. At a special holiday showing of the fanciest hats from top de signers here this week one of the biggest was a dome-shaped hat of turquoise feathers and one of the brightest was made of a shim mering gold fabric. - It's -the traditional time to bring out the first flower-covered hats, too. Hattie Carnegie came up with the newest look in flower hats a fez shape covered with flat blossoms shading from pale pink to deep rose. 3 Little boys should be more washable; from the kin out, that is, one designer decided. A little boy's top coat of new dull-finish nylon lined with quilted nylon was introduced this week at one for-men-'only fashion show. "I decided that many little boys only had one winter coat and it would be helpful if it could be washed quickly," the designer for Waldes-Kohinoor ex plained. O The week's most unusual sug gestion for mothers traveling with small babies: try using fin gernail polish to entertain them. It works for her, singer Rose mary Clooney, the wife of actor producer" Jose Ferrer, has an eight-months-cld baby, Miguel, who' has seen a great deal of the world already. He's been to Lon don by ship and back by air and made several trips from here to California. f "He was far less trouble com ing back from London than our basset hound," Miss Clooney an nounced. , "I could keep Miguel spell boun for ages by painting one of his fingernails red, then taking the polish off and putting" some on another nail. Sounds silly, doesn't it? But Miguel was fas cinated!"
