Society Matron Promotes Jazz Festival in Newport By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The crus ading zeal of women has planted trees, built playgrounds, routed politicians and awakened slum bering social consciences. But for sheer community com motion, few causes championed by modern women can top the pet project of Mrs. Louis Loril lard. Mrs. Lorillard came here re cently from her home in New port, R.I., for a brief visit. She is a slim, blonde society matron who dresses conservatively and speaks softly. "What is a bash?" Mrs. Loril lard asked politely during break fast with a small group interest ed in hearing about her project. "An event," one young man replied promptly, and Mrs. Lor illard smiled her thanks. "I'm trying to learn the jazz language." she explained, "but by the time I learn the words I find they're not using them any more. Promotes Jazs Music "I have learned to play barrel house badly. And I took a course in jazz at Boston university." This all began when Mrs. Lor illard gave up the vice-presiden cy of the Newport Garden club to promote jazz music in social circles. The American Jazz Fes tival, launched two years ago in Newport by the Lorillards, at tracted hordes of tourist jazz lov ers and repelled scores of weal thy, quiet-loving summer resi dents. "In many social groups we simply do not mention the Jazz Festival," Mrs. Lorillard admit ted. The unique idea of a member of this exclusive summer colony starting a festival of jazz musi cians gave Hollywood the idea for the plot of "High Society," the next movie starring Grace Kelly. The publicity Mrs. Lorillard has received has brought her let ters from all over the world. "Much of the mail comes from school teachers who would like to borrow money on a music scholarship," she said. The two young Lorillard chil dren promptly named their two new Dachsund dogs Rock and Roll, a form of jazz not highly regarded in classical jazz circles. And Louis Lorillard, who his wife says "was more of a square than I was when we were mar ried 10 years ago," has changed from collecting "swing" records to jazz. Satchmo Attending Festival The third festival begins in Newport July 5. Mrs. Lorillard and her fellow festival directors will welcome people like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Pea nuts Hucko, Dave Brubeck and a Japanese jazz pianist named To shiko. . There are rumors the festival will be moved out of Newport after this year to a nearby city where it could be run more prof itably. If it happens, Mrs. Lorillard said, it would be strictly for pro fit and not because of social pres sure. She calmly states she does n't mind "braving the social scourge." "The money we make is used for scholarships or other proj ects devoted to promoting Amer ican jazz," she said and added with the dedicated disdain of all crusaders, "I don't worry about the neighbors. After all, it is on- -ly three days out of their lives." SPECIAL Til Saturday Fresh, Sweet CORN On the Cob Dor. 39 WT ok W MARKET 1 V 1202 North Riverside j OPEN EVERY & NIGHT TIL J $.

Mrs. Gerety traveled by plane to Greeley for her son's gradua tion and the two are returning to Oregon by car. They are expect ed to arrive in Medford today. En route home they visited rela tives in Salt Lake City. A concessionaire boosted sales 1 of hot sausages by lending his ' customers white gloves to pro-! tect their fingers while eating ! them. But most of his customers : walked away with his profits ; by failing to return the gloves. His brother, a baker, devised the j long narrow hot dog bun as an I expendable finger protector, and the idea took the country by storm. Tee-Pak doesn't say who added the mustard and piccalilli.
