'Pinto' Colvig, Wife Visit Relatives Through Holidays Among the many interesting visitors to the vallev for the Thanksgiving holidays are Mr. and Mrs. Vance DeBar Colviz I oi iioijywooa, aiu. ivir. voivig is more popularly known as "Pinto," a name which he received through the many years he has spent in show business. He was born and raised in Jackson ville. This is Mrs. Colvig's first trip to the valley. In addition to see ing numerous relatives of Mr. Colvig, they are making trips about the valley and visiting in Jacksonville. Mr. Colvig in particular popu larized the character, "Bozo, the Clown." They were guests at a family dinner Thanksgiving day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. War ner, 519 South Oakdale avenue, a brother-in-law and sister. An other sister, Mrs. Helen Colvig Cook, Portland, arrived Wednes day evening for the family gath ering. The Colvigs came by plane Tuesday evening and will leave the first of the week. Visit Aunt Included in their visits about the valley is one to the pioneer Birdseye home north of Gold Hill on the Rogue river, to see his aunt, Mrs. Effie Birdseye. Mr. Colvig attended Oregon State college, "where they have three-fourths of a diploma for me with an inch of dust on it," he said in an interview Thanks giving day. "I never could seem to make it through the month of May," he said, explaining why he never quite graduated. The first time he put on white makeup to impersonate a clown was at Lewis and Clark exposi tion in Portland in 1905. For a time he did newspaper work and another of his interests was lit cartooning. His first cartoon was published in the Medford Mail Tribune in the "early 1900's." Cartoonists, he said, are all clowns at heart, but "they do it the lazy way." Always Called" , So, no matter what serious in terests Mr. Colvig had, always the call to clown was forecast and he'd take to the road again. He is under contract to Capitol records for which he furnishes "animal voices." He also works for Walt Disney pictures and through the years has done "Grumpy" and "Sleepy" in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; "Goofy," the "practical pig," in the Three Little Pigs, and many others. "Why they picked me to be the practical pig I'll never know, for I am so impractical," the entertainer said in his jovial manner. New Fur-Like Synthetics Just Like Nature's Product Npw York 0J.PJ The day will come when a woman asks her furrier "Is it . real mink or synthetic?" For thanks to man's skill in the laboratory, new fur-like syn thetics are coming to market. And the makers say the test tube product looks as much like fur as the real thing. Also, ifs cheaper. They haven't perfected the mink yet. It still is in the ex perimental stage. But you can buy synthetic beaver, sealskin and persian lamb, which the in dustry says are so much like nature's own product they de mand the same care except -for the need of cold storage in hot weather. . The man-made furs are com binations of orlon and dynel, or all dynel. The manufacturers say the new furs not only have the deep pile but also the feel and sheen of the natural pro duct. At least three big fabrics houses are in the man-made fur business on a large scale. The George W. Borg Corp. says its product is "more like fur than fur itself." Another, Princeton Knitting Mills, is making white, platinum and nutria-colored beaver, black and brown seal and black Per sian lamb. S. B. Silverman of Princeton says breath-of-spring mink is in the laboratory stage. s "We will have some mink on the market by late fall," said Silverman. "And the day is coming when a woman will take her choice of the synthetic or the real thing." Another firm, Sidney Blumen thal and Co., last year made imitation ermine and mink from rayon. But Robert Swett, an ex ecutive of. the firm, said they were "fun furs" and actually weren't intended to ape nature's Frank O. Mclntyre Speaks At Ashland Ashland Dr. Frank O. Mcln tyre, director of public relations for the California Teachers asso ciation, spoke at the regular Southern Oregon College assem bly Wednesday. Dr. Mclntyre's address, "The Other Side of the Coin," was humorously developed as he pointed out the fundamental pub lic relations concept of "elimi nating the negative and accent uating the positive" in our day-to-day contacts with other peo ple. own. He said the difficulty in producing synthetic mink is in getting realistic shadings of the fur. But he agreed with Silver man that test-tube mink is on its way. Designers In On Play . Silverman' said several of the nation's top designers already are working with the synthetic furs for their fall collections Vera Maxwell, Bonnie Cashin, Greta Plattry, Emily Wilkens and Claire McCardell, to name a few. What effect will the synthetics I have on woman's desire for gen uine fur? v Silverman said the synthetics .aren't trying to compete with the real thing . . . just supple ment it. Ji woman might want to own a real beaver coat, but want to add to her "fur" ward robe with a cape, muff or cardi gan of the man-made product. ' "One thing we accept," said Silverman, "when a woman has her heart set on a mink coat, she's not likely to settle for a synthetic." . . r MRS. GEORGE DRAKE.
