November 8 for a three-night run, will be something of a departure for most of the cast. The 3-act Bonn Levy comedy will be repeated on November 15. 16 and 17. The local theatre group de cided on the "split" production dates after noting that most theater-goers prefer to attend end-of-the-week performances. Curtain time is at 8:30 p.m. at the Fairgrounds theater, located back of the new Armory build ing, which is under construction. Director Richard Graham be lieves he has a "first rate cast" for the play, and adds that "ev ery role presents a definite chal lenge to the actor." Graham him self was obliged to assume a major role when the actor orig inally cast for the part was un able to continue in rehearsals. "Probably the most interest ing factor with which the aud ience will be concerned." Gra ham said, "is the decision each character makes in turn as he or she is presented the oppor tunity to realize his 'innermost heart's desire'." I The modern set was design led by Raun James, display man lager for Mann's department store, and construction has been in charge of Frank Buchter. Ber nard Roberts and Max Wimmer. Miss Kathleen Davies is hand ling props, and bookholder is Miss Janice Boardman. The cast includes Colleen Ro- mine, Les tsoarnman. Liyae Wheaton. Ruth Kilbourn, Thay er Tarvin, James Sullivan. Char- lene Tarvin, and Frankie Bur ton. Postpone Meeting Medford Lady Lions will not hold the regularly scheduled meeting tonight, due to the elec tion. Instead the meeting will be held Tuesday.

How To Be Chic On Dollar A Day Book's Subject By GAY PAULEY . United Press Correspondent New York (U.f The cost of being chic is cheap one dollar a day. And if any husband looking over his wife's clothing bill wants to challenge that state ment, let him check in with a pretty convincer named Bea Dan ville. Miss Danville has written a book which marks her as a hus band's best friend and a traitor to those of her own set who al ready are lobbying for Christ mas. The book, "Dress Well On SI a Day," is intended to guide a woman to smart, dress on a small pocketbO''k. "The dollar a day will not pro vide a mink coat," she said in an interview. "She will have to find someone to give that. "But I'm talking about the average woman . . . the one whose husband is in a middle and not a high income bracket. The woman whose wardrobe does not call for several cock tail and evening dresses." There are several "iffs" in Miss Danville's plan. The buck a day is sufficient if a woman works out on a long-term, cloth ing purchase plan, decides how much to spend on each item, and then sticks to her intentions. It also helps if she does some sew ing at home. "And," said the British-born Miss Danville, "it means a wom an occasionally has to wear blinkers ... to get her past, a sales counter." Bea Danville is all for sales Nixon To Receive Returns in Capital Washington (U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon planned t(jday to wait out the election returns in the nation's capital. Nixon voted by absentee ballot Saturday. His home is at Whit tier. Calif. The vice president tonight was expected to make an appearance along with President Eisenhower at a big GOP election night party at the Sheraton-Park Hotel. Nixon appeared briefly Mon day night on a nationally tele vised GOP "victory" program that originated from the White House. The vice president and his wife, Pat, joined the President and First Lady in the White House library to watch the pro gram and later take part. "I believe the American peo ple want the President to have the chance to finish what he started," he told the nationwide audience. they're part of her scheme of things. "But not bargain base- mpn ts " she said, "except for lingerie, hose and shoes. I watch the sales in the top stores, where the merchandise has the stores backing." She insisted she practices what she preaches that her annual o clothing sjiowance Is $36!i) "Have to i$ep within limits," she said.
