I want to talk about t6day," he
said. "It is of vital importance
to me. her mother, and our
daughter."
Mrs. Truman was not present
at the news conference.
The announcement was not
wholly unexpected. Speculation
circulated during the weekend
that a romance for the 32-year-old
daughter of the former Presi
dent was in the air. Miss Truman
and Mr. Daniel visited his par
ents' home in Zebulon, N.C.,
yesterday.
Neither would discuss the
rumored romance. Miss Truman
insisted she had gone to North
Carolina "just for a quiet week
end."
After touring parts Of North
Carolina in the afternoon, Miss
Truman and Mr. Daniel were
guests of Jonathan Daniels, edi
tor of the Raleigh, N.C, News

and President.
Later, she achieved ' world

television singer ai.d performer.
She made her television debut
in 1950 and recently was under

Country Women
Program Topic
For Howard Unit
Howard The self-improvement
groups which benefit the
country women of the many na
tions of the world was the sub
ject f6r the last Howard Exten
sion unit meeting. It was held
in the home of Mrs. Warren
Holbrook, 825 East Jackson
boul6vard.
Mrs A. M. Berry, Queens
land, Australia, has been presi
dent of the Associated Country
Women of the World since the
seventh triennial conference of
the ACWW held in TOrOntO,
Canada, in 1953.
Mrs. R. E. Carley, Howard
ACWW chairman, directed a
skit that told of Ceylanese cus
toms, trades, religion, educa
tional system, foods, and the
work of the Lanka Manila Sa
miti, as the women's groups of
Ceylon are known. She .showed
a number of articles from Cey
lon, including stamps, hand cro
cheted tablecloth and miniature
Buddha. Also displayed were
two saris, native costumes from
the far east, purchased by Mrs.
D. K. West during her travel
in Indian last summer. Mem
bers were shown that the sari
is not carelessly wrapped or
draped around one, as Ameri
cans are prone to think, but is
carefully pleated and fitted
each time it is put on by the
women of the east.
Taking part in the skit were
Mrs. Verl Walker and Mrs. J.
S. Lydiard showed a narrative
film, "Getting to Know You,"
which showed scenes from the
Toronto conference, and pic
tures taken since that date dur
ing the visits of the president,
Mrs. Berry, to the women's
groups of the various nations.
Of particular interest to How
ard members were pictures
showing -the Country Women's
Group of the Air centered in
Alice Springs, Australia. These
resourceful women, many of
whom live a hundred miles
apart, set up a wireless trans
ceiver system that has for a
number of years provided medi
cal aid for the "outback" re
gion of southwestern Australia
with the aid of the "Flying Doc
tors." Now, they hold their
meetings via this same radio
network. A common sight jn
their homes is a child pedalling
the transceiver to provide the
power while mother "attends"
the meeting by radio.
A number of the ' pictures
were . taken in and around the
University of Perideniya, Cey
lon, site of the 1956 : ACWW
convention, and of the work of
the Lanka Mahila Samiti. The
group maintains a shop in Co
lumbo, its headquarters, for sale
of the handicraft items that are
a main portion of the members'
work.
Mrs. Henry Friesen, who con
ducted the meeting, named Mrs.
L. C. McCay, Mrs. R. E. Mer
ritt and Mrs. Robert Ottoman
to the nominating committee.
Plans were made for unit par
ticipation in the annual May
Homemakers festival. An eye
opener program on hair styl
ing was given by Mrs. Marlene
Funk.
Mrs. J. R. Campbell and Mrs.
J. S. Lydiard are planning a
two-day lampshade workshop
for April 5 and 6 at Mrs. Camp
bell's home on Merriman rOad.
The project leaders ask that
those members interested in
participating in this . workshop
contact them this week con
cerning materials required' for
making the shades.

New York CU.PJ Some of the
nostalgia is missing at the Na
tional Antiques show this year.
Unless, of course, it. is possible-
to find any woman who will
become nostalgic at the sight of
a wooden wash tub or a hand
pumped vacuum cleaner that is
a combination . of a . churn, an
automatic jack and a pogo stick.
The annual antiques show at
Madison Square Garden keeps
expanding to include memora
bilia from more nations and
knick knacks rescued from mote
attics. This year among the 500,
000 items and 200 exhibits are
two displays of household equip
ment dating back to 1806.
An -antique technically is 100
years old or more, but in the
field of household gadgets, even
a brief 10 years turns an appli
ance into an antique in the eye
Of most women.
So the. sight Of yesterday's
"labor-saving" devices has so far
brought only shudders and sighs
of relief from women touring the
antiques show.
The round wooden wash tub
on display is dated 1606, and
has a narrow, saw-toothed wood
en washboard attached.
Life got brighter by 1889 and
somebody painted ' a wondf Ous
work-saving washer bright red.
It was mechanical, so long as
a woman's arm held out. A cra.-dle-like
basket fitted inside the
wooden bowl. To wash the
clothes a woman had to push

Mrs. Martin conducted the business-meeting.

"Mrs.'Hoy Eskey, Mrs. Frank Car

If this changes your former preferences . .
We'd lite to make a prediction about you.
Without reservation, we prophesy that you
will revise your fine car standards upward
after even a brief personal meeting with
Lincoln for 1956. ,
The reason for our confidence? Simply
. this: the pleased people we've watched in our
showrooms and the names we've been
writing on our waiting lists ever since this
completely new fine car made its debut.

Young Architect-Artist
Exhibits Work in Nassau
From the columns of the
Nassau Guardian Of Nassau, Ba
hamas, has come news of the
recent activities of a 1946 Med
ford High school graduate. He
is Gerhardt Liebman, , son of
Mr. and Mrs. M. Liebam, 4262
COlver road, Medford.
The young architect and artist
has been offered a commission
to do a mural for the Bahamas
government in London and if he
accepts will fly directly to Lon
don from Nassau. He was in
formed of the commission Febru
ary 27.
On that same date Mr. Lieb
man opened an art exhibition at
NaSsau which was preceded by
a private showing and gallery
party attended by many gov
ernment officials and digni
taries. Among the guests at the open-i
irtg party were the governor, the i
Earl of Ranf urly and Lady Ran
f urly, Eunice Dowager Lady
bakes, the Baroness Lyssardt
vOn Hoyingen-Heune, Baroness
Gunnell Wrede, - Prince and
Princess Hadziwiel, the Marquis
of Winchester, and his highness,
the Maharajah of Barada, and
many others.
Patrons for the show includ
ed Count Ilia Tolstoy, the Right
Rev. Spence Burton, Bishop of
Nassau, Hon. Hartwell Johnson,
American consul to the Ba
hamas, Sir Francis and Lady
Peek and others.
Works shown were painted in
Europe, Alaska, San Francisco
and Nassau.
Graduating magna cum laude
from Harvard university in 1950,
Mr. Liebman received a bachelor
of arts degree.. He was also a
member of Phi Beta Kappa, na
tional honor society. Mr. Lieb
man then attended the graduate
school of design at Harvard, tak
ing the three and a half-year
course in one and a half years
and obtained his bachelor of
architecture degree.
He later studied at Ecole des
Beaux Arts in Paris and has
traveled extensively throughout
Europe. He spent much of his
travel time studying cathedral
architecture, since he hopes ulti
mately to design a cathedral.
Mr. Liebman joined the Army
in 1953 and was assigned to a
survey team in the Arctic Circle.
For two years he explored the
permanent polar icecap.

of Lincoln's ball-joint suspension system.
And all this, surrounded by the matchless

We suggest you put our prediction to the

he wrote a book, "The History
Of Colonial Sudbury," which will
be published later this year.
In 1950 he was invited to
England to design what would
have been the largest office
building in London. His drafts
were accepted-but it "was a.
heartbreaking blow" to Mr. Lieb
man, according to the clippings,
when the property was sold as
a site for a hotel.
After fulfilling his art com
missions, Mr. Liebman plans to
join a firm of architects in New
York with branches in London
and Paris.
