Three skits were presented at

The first skit dramatized the
first parent-teacher organization
in Oregon, started before Ore
gon was a state. Organized by
six mothers, all connected with
the Whitman mission, it was
founded in 1838, and by 1842
seven others had joined.
Named the Columbia Mater
nal association, it emphasized, in
the preamble to its constitution
that "sensible of the evils that
beset the young mind," that
they, the founders, "agree to
form ourselves into an associa
tion for the purpose of adopting
such rules as are best calculated
to assist us in the right perform
ance of our maternal duties."
Taking part in the skit were
Mrs. J. J. Jones, Mrs. Austin
Caldwell, Miss Anna Laura
Honts, Mrs. Kenneth Bramhall,
Mrs. Roland Hogue and ,Mrs.
Jack Edmonds."
The second skit presented the
work done by Miss Viola Orts-
child, a teacher of the Couch
school,' Portland, to aid in the
passage of the crippled chil
dren's education law. Passed in
1923, this bill provided for the
education of mentally normal,
physically handicapped , chil
dren, through the visits of cer
tified teachers to the homes of
these children. Mrs. John Lusk
and Mrs. Bernice Viles took part
in this skit.

tion. Presented in the form of a

ing 13 years and 22 pictures at
the studio.
New Fame Won
But recently Miss Rose's fame
blossomed from; an unexpected
source. She has become Holly
wood's No. 1 designer of off
screen wedding dresses two
apiece for Elizabeth Taylor and
Jane Powell; one each for Ar
lene Dahl, Sally Forrest, Debbie
Reynolds, Ann Blyth and Pier
Angeli. ' . "t ;
I invaded Miss . Rose's fancy
fitting rooms at MGM - to eye
the plans for Miss Kelly s gown
and discovered it will not be as
fancy as perhaps the public ex
pects. '
Miss Kelly has decided the
dress should be traditional and
particularly with long sleeves
and high neckline. Miss Rose
thinks .it should reflect Grace's
personality - "simple but ele
gant, feminine, lady-like, but not
necessarily regal. ' ' .
Designer Busy '
I'm so busy designing for her
picture, 'High Society,' and. for
'The Opposite Sex' I haven't
started the actual sketches," the
designer said. "I'm so thrilled
to be doing this for Grace, I feel
it's a great honor."
Miss Rose, in fact, will design
two wedding dresses for the
actress, a less formal one for
the civil ceremony and the tra
ditional gown for the religious
rite's. : . "
The gownTwill be very expen
sive but. notjprnate," the design
er said.t? "It Will be a museum
piece as "..farvras workmanship is
concerned? It will ' be elegant
and truly beautiful."
