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."

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

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
