The first lady has made no bones about the' fact that her heart has been at Gettysburg since the Eisenhower's farm residence there became their first real home in 39 years of married life. But, more important, the trip home marked 'another step for ward in the President's road to recovery. Press Secretary James C. Hag- ertv Saturday described the November "Issue Of Publication Creates Interest "A Message to Altrusa," by General Carlos P. Romulo was read at a meeting of Medfora Altrusa club held last week at the home of Mrs. Maisie Daily. The article on "what all free women should know" opens the November issue of the magazine of Altrusa International wnicn is named the "Spotlight on Asia" issue. The article was read by Mrs. Edith Baker, international rela tions chairman of the group, who stated that the club has ordered a number of extra copies to be distributed to other interested groups and for local libraries. The Chicago Council of Foreign Relations has named the issue "pamphlet of the month." Miss Lotus Eaton, vice-presi dent, presided at the meeting in place of Mrs. Maude Cod ding, president, who was in San Francisco on business. The vocational grant commit tee, which met Tuesday evening at the home of the chairman, Mrs. Enid Rankin, reported that letters announcing the voca tional training grant of $250 had been sent to churches, clubs, PTA groups and the county Grange units asking their as sistance in finding a woman who needed training or to re-fresh former skills in order to gain employment. Applications for this grant can be obtained by calling or writing any member of the club, the president, Mrs. Codding, or Mrs. Rankin at 18 Richmond avenue, before December 1. The club is offering this grant in the fall instead of the spring in order that the recipient can start training the first part of the year 1956 when colleges and business schools begin their sec ond semester. Miss Eaton, sec retary of the Oregon State Board of Nursing, stated that another school for practical nursing would be starting in Coos Bay very soon, there being only one now in southern Ore gon, this being at the Oregon Technical Institute at Klamath Falls. A social time followed the meeting and refreshments were served by Mrs. Daly and Mrs. Rankin. Guests for the evening were Mrs. Mabelle King of Santa Ana, Calif., Mrs. Carl Beebe, Mrs. Frank Morgan, Mrs. D. W. Robertson and Miss Anna May of Medford. Mrs. King has been spending a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. William Frake and family.

He could well have said the same for the first lady's feeling about the farm house. Presents for House Because of her love for the handsome redecorated home and its 189 rolling acres, it was in evitable that some of the pres ents she got today would be "something for the house." Her husband, family and friends on other recent gift-giv ing occasions have chosen such items as fireplace tools and mantles for the farmhouse which were received with delight. Sen. George Bender (R-O.), entered into the spirit of the day by sending as his birthday tok en a box full of assorted gay gloves designed for amateur gardners' wear. In Denver last month, Mrs. Eisenhower was reported "anx ious" to get back to the farm. She wrote friends she hoped the President soon would be able to get in some "front porch farming" from the Gettysburg retreat. Vigorous Social Season Last spring, when Mrs. Eis enhower went up to Gettysburg to rest from a vigorous social season at the White House, she stayed on to supervise final re decorating plans on the farm house almost steadily until she left for Denver. Perhaps one of the reasons she likes the farm so is the way her Gettysburg neighbors treat her on occasional shopping trips to town just like any other citi zen. In Washington her trip to a store starts a mob scene. Besides being back home with a much-improved husband. Mrs. Eisenhower could be happy for another reason she does not look her 59 years. With three strenuous years as White House hostess behind her, and despite her trying vigil at Denver where she was report ed to have lost 14 pounds Mrs. Eisenhower today looks just like the smiling, cheerful woman who waved at crowds from the rear of campaign trains in 1952.

I'm tickled pink with the smart way my Carol handles her house work. Take wood floors for instance. Most gals complain about all that scrubbing and waxing. But not my Carol! She cleans and waxes them in one easy operation with Bruce Cleaning Wax. It takes her half the time and a lot less elbow grease. And 've yet to have a guest who hasn't commented on our beautiful wood floors. My Carol and her Bruce Cleaning Wax really make easy work of a hard job. I'm mighty pleased with both of them. P.S. For lighter waxing on linoleum and wood, Carol uses Bruce Floor Cleaner.

By now the Hollywood film studios top-grade 1955 contribu tions to the world's screens have been unveiled. Although motion picture industry workers won't begin.voting on the nomination until January, the armchair cin ema experts already are picking the winners. Magnani Probable The dark-eyed Magnani, a heavy woman with straight black hair yet with a deep beau ty that surpasses Hollywood standards, seems a sure-fire nominee for her Iiery, one woman movie, "The Rose Tat too." Susan also apparently has a nomination under her shapely arm for her emotional portrayal of a tragic drunk in "I'll Cry To morrow." She once won a nomi nation for another alcoholic role, in "Smash-Up." The male race includes many more top entries, the ladies hav ing come out on the short end of the good roles this year. But the two top contenders probably will be the late James Dean for East of Eden" and James Cag- ney in Love Me or Leave Me. Eleanor Parker of "Interrupt ed Melody," Julie Harris of "I Am a Camera" and Bette Davis of "The Virgin Queen" also are likely to be nominated for the world's top film acting honor. Katharine Hepburn is another favorite for "Summertime. . The other three nominees for the best male acting perform ance of 1955 may be Fredric March of "The Desperate Hours," Henry Fonda of "Mister Roberts" and Ernest Borgnine of "Marty." But some voters are just as excited about Burt Lancaster in "The Rose Tattoo," Arthur Ken nedy in "Trial," Spencer Tracy in "Bad Day at Black Rock," Tom Ewell in "The Seven Year Itch" and Jack Palance in "The Big Knife."
