TWO MEffiTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Inventor of Cross Country Shopping Gives New Ideas By GAY PAULEY United Jrest Coirespondeni Yonkrs, N.?. , U.RJ The man who took Fifth Avenue shop to Suburbia, U.S.A., says womeo ' don" want shopping made too easy. "Take away w'oma'n'i chance ' for a rijy of shopping and lunch with t!e 'girls, a chance t a sale . . why ie'i like robbing her of the right tojvot," said Sol'G. Atlas: Atlas is a creator, builder, and . bos of the Cross Country Shop ping Center, sthe largest such center in the world. "A woman wants to brqwse, to feel the goods, to try on be fore she buys,". ne said. "I doubt if shopping ever will reach the push-button stage, because wom en don't want it that way. Of course, we will go on working out now services which they do want." . . Uis busy brain already is at work on a couple of added aids to the shopper. One would be sort of a Cook's 14ur to tour the shops instead of the sights, Atlas sees the day who 'shopping 'centers will stretchr their sales arms right in to the Jjeart of the rural areas, run buses to specified pick-up points, give a fcroufi of women fre transportation to the shop ping center, feed fhem at a swank restaurant in the center to provide the social atmosphere, and then cart them, bundles and all, home at the end of the day. Another Atlas idea a shop ping canter under one giant, plexiglass roof or dome. The dome would operate on motor ized hinges, so that it could be rolled back to let nature in on beautiful spring and fall days. In winter, it would be closed from trie cold, in summer, air conditioned. "Shops wouldn't 'be so for mal," Atlas Said. "No need for windows, tor, instance. It would b sort at like one sprawling, outdoor mart." Atlas got interested in suburb an shopping center 13 years ago.

W. lOrh, Pendleton, Oregon I -knew women in the outlying areas weren't going to drive to town and fight the traffic and parking 'problem. Merchants in the big city would have to open suburban branches with the same complete stocks they car ried in town." In 1949, he built what has be come known as the "miracle mile" a $7,500,000 shopping "strip" at Manhasset, Long Island. Some of New York's top department stores and specialty shops opened branches. Atlas opened the Cross Coun ty Center in 1954. It now aver ages 40,000 shoppers a day on a peak day, as many as 110,000. This year. Atlas estimates peo ple will spend $70,000,000 at the center. The center has 78 stores, ranging from specialty shops featuring Dior gowns to a super market featuring everything. This year, another Atlas pros pect opened in West Orange, N. J. Now, Atlas is planning a fourth at; Providence, R.I. He doesn't have a corner on the idea of the shopping centers . . . there are many others. And he sees the day when they become a national institution. With their spread will grow the habit of night shopping, every night in stead of one or two nights. And, also, the husband will go along. "Merchants like to see a man shopping with his wife," he said. "It means they can sell her more." Travel is Theme For Bail Friday Travel at Christmas will be the theme of the ball which Tu dor guild of the Oregon Shake spearean festival will give Fri day night of -this week at Rogue Valley Country club. Emphasis will be placed on Christmas at home, Christmas in warmer climes and Christmas at Sun Valley. The event conflicts with the important semi-finals football game between Medford High school and Benson High school of Portland here Friday night, something which could not have been foreseen at the time the date was selected. Because of this, the committee states that th major festivities of the even ing will be held in the late even ing after football fans have had an opportunity to leave the sta dium and arrive at the club house. Those who wish to listen to the radio broadcast may do so at the club. The event will raise funds for the guild's scholarship fund for Shakespearean festival actors, and is open to the public. It will be semi-formal, with women to wear cocktail type gowns and men dark suits. Reservations must be made by calling the country club, in addition to pur chasing tickets. The tickets may be secured from Tudor guild members, at Jean Hart's store or at the country club. Mrs. William Dawkins is president of the guild, and Mrs. Harry Skerry is chairman of the ball.

For example, this other man will make a big fuss about some out fit I am wearing or pay me a lot of compliments. He says I am a better dancer than his wife and always wants to have more dances with me than with her during the evening. This man's wife has been very pleasant about the whole thing, but I feel she is annoyed under neath. I think this relationship should be broken off before something unpleasant happens. Albert Z. My wife is always very quick to suspect men of flirting with her. Often she has told me a man is staring at her when he as simply glanced her Thraa ElegM M Umi FOR IEFT-OVER TURKEY; Wednesday.

C, where she will represent Oregon at a conference on merit rating sponsored by the Department of Classroom Teach ers, National Education associa tion. Teacher Leaves For Conference In Washington Mrs. Maxine Smith left by United Airlines last night for Washington, D. C, to take part in a conference on merit rating of classroom teachers sponsored by the Department of Classroom Teachers, National Education as sociation. Mrs. Smith, president of the Department of Classroom Teach ers, Oregon Education associa tion, is one of 25 teachers from throughout the nation chosen to take part in the conference. The teachers represent systems now under merit rating, from systems where it has been tried and has been terminated, and in systems where merit rating is being con templated. Oregon's delegate has been serving as chairman of the OEA committee on teacher compe tencies which is studying the merit rating as one of its topics this year. The conference will attempt to clarify the meaning of the term merit rating, will consider all aspects of merit rating and will identify the role of the NEA Department of Classroom Teach ers in merit rating. The confer ence was set at this time in order that teachers could utilize the Thanksgiving holiday time and lose no time from their teaching schedules. In addition to the conference sessions, which will include one dinner meeting at the Iron Gate, another at the Hotel Statler and a luncheon session at Bonat's, the group will be taken on a tour of the NEA headquarters. In addition Mrs. Smith will visit with Margaret Perry, form er Oregon teacher who was chosen McCall magazine's 'Teacher of the Year" for 1953 54, and with Hazel Markel, who was one of her high school French and Latin teachers. Mrs. Markel, radio commentator, is often a panelist on the American Forum. Mrs. Smith is on the faculty of Medford Senior High school. Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist. way briefly. She is also too quick to suspect marital infidelity in others and has often been way off the beam. We have had wonderful times with this young couple and I think the man in the case is a fine person and very much in love with his wife. I don't feel he overdoes the compliments to my wife and, far from being an noyed, his wife often seconds them. This young couple would be much hurt if we broke off the relationship and we could give no reasonable explanation. My wife is so peculiar in this respect I am sure the same thing would happen with any other friends. The Council: Kate may be hypersensitive on the subject of flirting and marital infidelity, but her husband is being a little too dense. He indicates this by the offhand way he dismisses the other woman's reactions. He should understand a woman will often second her husband's com pliments to another woman while she grits her teeth in silence. Most women are far more sen sitive than men to such social undertones. This may not be the case here, but the fact remains Kate has begun to feel uncomfortable in this relationship. It is no dis credit to Kate to hint she may have a good understanding of herself and feel her head is too easily turned by another man's admiration. She may be trying to protect herself by avoiding such situations. Albert should trust his wife's feelings in this. It should not be necessary to break off the rela tionship completely, but to ease it up gently, perhaps inviting other couples in on the party. Adding more variety to their social life might take some of the strain off Kate. If Kate continues to react this Society Travelers Make Holiday News; Students Home Thanksgiving week sees many persons arriving in the city to spend the holiday with families, and others leaving to be with friends and relatives in other cities.
