Riverside WHERE ONE CALL DOES IT ALL "Your Appearance Is Our Business" Medford Democratic Committee HeacJ Advises on Convention Wear By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Demo cratic women heading for Chi cago and their annual conven tion should plan on a wardrobe designed to suit "heat, feet and TV." This is exactly what Mrs. Ka tie Louchheim, director of wom en's activities for the Democratic National committee, is doing. Mrs. Louchheim has -chosen a wardrobe for the convention, starting August 13, based on her experiences at the last two Dem ocratic conventions and from her many trips on party business. Bearing in mind the well known heat which usually hits Chicago the same time as the politicians arrive, Mrs. Louch heim will take with her a ward robe based on "simplicity plain colors and plain lines." She feels the wearer, the TV audience, and the convention del egates "get tired of a costume if it's too dramatic or unusual." Simple lines also, she feels, are a woman's best weapon against wilting heat Bars Bare Look A concession both to heat and TV will be a collection of ver-: satile, convertible white collars in her suitcase: washable and snap-on. Several pairs of easy-to- wash white gloves also will be included. Despite the threat of the heat. Mrs. Lochheim has ruled out bare-looking day-time dresses for the convention. As she does in Washington's semi-tropical wea ther, she will be wearing dresses with some sleeve. One wardrobe ite..i Mrs. Louch heim has taken the most pains about is footwear, and says the "women delegates and alternates should do the same. In mid-convention in 1952 she had to buy a pair of comfortable straw sandals "because my feet were killing me." This time, she shopped in three cities for low-heel black straws "that will go with every thing" and be easy on much- walked feet as well. She's also taking along two pairs of her favorite soft, cushion-soled moc casins "just in case I give out altogether. Only One Handbag Except for the shoes, Mrs. Louchheim has made few pur chases of new clothes for the convention trip. She is taking two new light "TV blue" cottons and a new dark dress. Another new item convention bound is a saucy white Sally Vic tor straw hat. The only other hat in Mrs. Louchheim's hat box will be a wide-brim leghorn straw with black velvet trim. As with most convention bound women, Mrs. Louchheim will be toting an oversize hand bag "probably the beige one I have now because I probably won't have time to shop for an- Sunday, August 5, 195B MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVH Former Dakotans At Annual Event Former residents of the Dako tas held the 21st annual picnic at TouVelle park with 80 fami lies formerly of North and South Dakota present.
