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.

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.

This man's wife has been very

should be broken off before
something unpleasant happens.

Mrs. Maxine Smith, on the
faculty of Mtdford Senior High
school, left last night for Wash
ington, D. 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

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

Leap Year Draws
BY GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Get going
girls! Only 29 days left to do
your Christmas shopping, and on
ly 42 left to do your husband
shopping. For leap lear is fast passing
into history, and there are only
42 days left in which to propose
to Howard Hughes, Dag Ham
marskjold, Elvis Presley or J.
Edgar Hoover. We're counting
Sundays and holidays, because
cupid's not on a five-day week.
It is encouraging to report that
leap year already has paid div
idends for several of us. Actress
Grace Kelly altared her future
to include Prince Rainier of
Monaco. Margaret Truman mar
ried E. C. Daniel Jr., a New York
newspaperman. Marilyn Monroe
got hitched to playwright Arthur
Miller.
Guri Lie, daughter of Trygve
Lie, the former secretary-general
of the United Nations, eloped
with William Zeckendorf Jr.,
son of the real estate millionaire.
And New Jersey's 48-year-old
Gov. Robert Meyner got engaged;
he and Helen Stevenson, a dis
tant cousin of Adlai, will be mar
ried in January.
Prosperous Leap Year
Other eligibles already caught
in the tender trap include Hal
March, Phil Silvers; Dave Gar
roway and Don Cherry of tele
vision; and Greg Bautzer, Holly
wood attorney. Even Porfirio
Rubirosa was a leap year victim.
The statistics don't tell who
proposed to whom. But the facts

country, than 1952. I

this year. Januarv throueh Aue- W,
ust, the latest count available,
there were 1,033,000 marriages,
compared with" 1,022,744 in the j
same period in 1952.
But the list of eligibles still !
is long, even if time is short. .
As a public service, I have com- :
piled a list. You are on your own i
after reading. I am too busy with i
my won leap year campaign to
give out telephone numbers.
Most of the eligibles are bach
elors. A few once were married, !
but have been single long enough
and are rich enough to rate
most any female's list.
Let's case the continent first
where a girl has a chance at a
title. There are Prince Bertil of
Sweden; King Baudouin of Bel
gium: Baudouin's younger broth
er Prince Albert, Britain's young
and gregarious Duke of Kent;
Peter Townsend, who wooed
but lost Princess Margaret, and
Billy Wallace, 30, wealthy but
not titled.
Senator Experienced
Closer home, the list Includes
Dag Hammarskjold, a handsome,
blond and charming Swede;
Adlai Stevenson; J. Edgar Ho
over; House Speaker Sam Ray
burn: House GOP leader Joseph
W. Martin Jr., and Senators
Henry M. Jackson, Warren G.
Magnuson, Richard B. Russell,
and Theodore Francis Green, at
88, is pretty experienced at
escaping leap year hazards.
Other potentials: Eliys "hound
dog" Presley; Bing Crosby; Mar
lon Brando; Hugh O'Brian, the
Wayatt Earp of TV, and Lib
erace. If you sights are set on $3$ as
well as romance, we recommend
Howard Hughes, West Coast
plane builder, or Sid Richardson,
Fort Worth, who some people
say is a billionaire.
So get going, girls! Only 42
