These classes, to start Tuesday, March 13, are the second of the Home maker's Holiday series, which run each Tuesday and Thursday for a month. The series will include a "charm school" with instructors in skin care, posture, hair style, wardrobe, and hostess "know how." It will convene at 10 a.m. and last two hours at each of its eight sessions. The instruc tors include Mrs. Helen Carril lon, Mrs. Frank Hopewell, Mrs. Jean Hart, Mrs. Mildred Moss, Glenn Funk, Mrs. Joanne Weath erford, Mrs.Kenneth Korby and Mrs. Richard Lamb. Beginner's swimming will be a 10 to 11 a.m. class, with Mrs. L. L. Tweedy as the instructor. The class will be for those who do not know how to swim. The volleyball, calisthenics, and free swim class instructed by Donald Day, Y physical di rector, will again be offered, and will meet from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Because pf the large response to the evening internatiorial cookery class now being held, Mrs. Alex Tummers will offer Council of Blind To Plan for Week First plans for the annual White Cane week will be made at the monthly meeting of Jack son County chapter, Associated Council of the Blind, Sunday, March 11. It will be held at 2 p.m. in St. Mark's Episcopal Guild hall, corner of Fifth street and Oakdale avenue. Members attending are asked to take a guest, and each mem ber is also asked to memorize the words of the hymn, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus." It is pointed out that the Council of the Blind was organ ized to promote the social and economic welfare of the blind, and one of the topics to be dis cussed Sunday will be projects which the chapter might under take and sponsor. The organization attempts to educate the general public to the concept that the blind do not wish to be an object of pity or charity, but only an oppor tunity to be trained to lead pro ductive and useful lives as any citizens. This purpose is fur thered each year by White Cane week. Around Hollywood Hollywood tU.R) A pretty brunette will make her acting debut Monday night in the most startling way in the atrical history as a woman who has a caesar ean birth on TV's "Medic." Barbara Turner, a 22 year - old stu dent from the famed Actors' Alme Mosby Studio in New York, faced the cameras for the first time in a story that will stir up attention. "Medic" cast her as a young mother who must have her baby by caesarean section. For the first time on TV, the birth of a baby will be shown. And, also for the first time on TV, a caesarean operation will be seen, uncensored, from begin ning to end. Face Concealed "The face of the patient isn't shown as the operation is sup posed to be "Barbara's," explain ed "Medic" producer Frank La Tourette. "The woman gave her permission. She told us she and her husband will watch the pro gram at home." The three doctors assigned to be technical advisers for the birth program lined up six pros pective caesarean operations for the producer. Four mothers re fused to be filmed. One had to have an emergency operation and couldn't wait for the camera. The sixth "finally gave us per mission." At a preview of the show I found the operation fascinating and, at first, a shocker. "Medic's" first program when the serias was launched -in 1954 featured the firth of a baby. All that was shown was the snipping of the umbilical cord but at that time the program was considered dar ing. "People fainted at the pre view of that show," producer LaTourette recalled. "I never throught we'd get an actual birth on the air. We wanted to show actual operations, but the network and even doctors were against it. "Finally we tried one opera tion. Viewers loved it. The reac tion convinced doctors and the network that people want to see operations. So we have a rule now our camera doesn't go in to surgery without filming the actual operation. People feel Friday, March 9, 1956 a morning class, running on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 to 12 noon. The foods dis- ' cussed will be substantially the same as those in the present eve ning class, it is stated.

Area people called upon to lead the workshop include C. B. Cordy, Mrs. Fred Lorish, Mrs. Bert Elliott and Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Gentner, Medford, Lewis Blyth and Mrs. Leonard McKee of Jacksonville, and Glen Brown of Ashland. Tod Tibbutt and Jerry Olson will act as co-instructors for a class in tennis on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2 to 3 p.m. Because an indoor area will be used, instructors will concentrate on developing stroke and serve, together with other basic tennis techniques. A craft workshop will be con ducted by Mrs. Edgar Sims from 1 to 3 p.m. The instruction will cover work in textile painting, copper tooling, fiber flower mak ing and copper enameling. Intermediate Swimming, with additional gym work, will be offered for all those who have taken beginners' swimming or who know how to swim and want refresher instruction to help them become more pro ficient swimmers before summer arrives. Donald Day will also instruct this class. Homemakers with habit-trained pre-schoolers are reminded by the Y of the available nurs ery school facilities, according to the Y office.

Customers Given Treat by Clerk New York (U.R) A 60 year old liquor store clerk de cided to "treat people' good" Thursday and it cost his boss an estimated $1,000. The clerk, John Closhesey, said he "got a message from God to treat people good" and de cided on the way to distribute goodness when the first customer arrived after he opened the store. He told the customer "to pay what he wants or pay nothing. That was how I treated people good." It wasn't very long before the word got around and the store was crowded with voluntary recipients of Closhesey's good. By the time police noticed the crowd and investigated, the shelves were all but stripped of about $1,000 worth of whiskey. The cash register contained $17.46. - I Victor Cardillo, 40, who owns j the store- said he would not try to prosecute Closhesey, who was taken to a hospital for observa tion. "The guy is sick," Cardillo said. "He's just good natured." Cheer Up Chores! Strike a colorful note! One-a-day motifs are easy to embroider on kitchen towels!

Many Housewives, Students Visit Europe; Advice Given New York Next to house wives, the most numerous group of Americans going abroad this year will be students. About 33,000 went last year that num ber is expected to increase in 1956, with the largest group bound for Europe during the summer months, says American Express. What countries will these stu dents visit, how much will they spend, what will they like, and what, if anything, "will they complain about? Some 5500 European-bound students queried - by the Coun cil on Student Travel not so long ago revealed that the largest portion of students, some 90 per cent, visited France. Germany and Austria ranked next, with the British Isles running close behind. Seventy per cent spent less than $1,100 during the sum-, mer's trip and almost all of them "had a wonderful time." Five per cent, however, com plained about the plumbing, and another four per cent about the weather. But next to the fact that they couldn't speak the language, the highest percent age of students regretted bring ing the wrong sort of clothes. And most of these were young women. On this matter, American Ex press, which has advised on various aspects of travel for over fifty years now, .emphasizes traveling light. Whether you're ship-bound or plane-bound and whether or not you're traveling on a budget, which most college girls are, it's best not to load yourselves with heavy suitcases.

The casual air so popular now in cities throughout America is the style for Americans in Europe as well, and a college girl planning a trip abroad this summer can very likely get by without buy ing anything new. Naturally, the most important consideration is being sure the clothes you take will be "suitable wherever you are and whatever you do. Here's what American Express suggests a young girl should carry for'a summer's trip abroad. Three dark dresses of the new, easy - to - pack - and - wash, non wrinkable fabrics, two cocktail dresses, a light suit and two matching blouses, also washable; a lightweight coat' that can dou ble for a raincoat and bathrobe as well as for walking that long distance from your hotel or pen sion room to the nearest shower; a cardigan sweater and a pair, of pedal-pushers, Bermuda shorts or slacks; a bathing suit, three pairs of shoes, one "loafer" type for sightseeing and two pairs of heels, one medium and one high and all three comfortable; eight pairs of nylon hose, several pairs of foot-peds;. a silk scarf for evening breezes, a -soft hat, or make your scarf do double duty for head covering, required in most of Europe's churches . . a pair of dark, washable gloves . . . and, of course, ample nylon lingerie and nightwear. Be sure to pack sun glasses, band-aids, shampoo, hairpins and such, says American Express. You can buy them abroad but they'll cost you more. If you need glasses for reading, carry the prescription .
