The news that this industry, which went into a pre-war slump, is ex panding like a two - way stretch comes from Mrs. Hortense B. Hewitt, a like able lady who c a 1 Is herself "queen of the garters." Mrs. Hewitt says she produces more of them than any other manufacturer in the coun try. Who wears garters now? "Everybody from brides to broads," said Mrs. Hewitt., "Women no longer use them to hold their stockings up, as they once did," she explained. "The girdle does that. But gar ters make a woman feel glamor ous ... . give her a life . . . bring out the siren in her. A woman wears garters for the same rea son she wears a plunging neck line." "When a man knows a woman has on a garter, he won't rest until he sees It," said Mrs. He witt. The garter queen said the bulk of the buying is for gifts "The men buy black lace to give the women; the women buy blue or -white to give other women." Something Blue Bridal garters In the tradi tional "something blue" are the top seller. These are the ones the women select as bridal shower gifts. The men choose from bolder color combinations, such as black lace with shocking pink ribbon; black with red and studded with jewels; or garters finished off with mink or ermine tails. "These," she said, "are for the woman who has everything." Mrs. Hewitt is a widow and mother of two sons, one of them in business with her. The other, an actor currently featured in "Inherit The Wind," on Broad way. She used to be a closet ac' cessories designer, but when World War II began, that busi ness went in a slump. So she turned to garters. Before 1941, she said, the gar 1er had become almost extinct. But when the government limit ed the amount of elastic which could be used in stocking hold- f J ACTUAL SIZE I THUMBNAIL SUE Now you can wear a tiny Sonotone com pletely in your ear and .hear better with' ijease.

Jackson Ph. 2-5904 ers on girdles, women turned to garters for support. Stores also gave the industry a boost, when they bought gar ters to help fill display cases left bare because of the nylon stocking shortage. "Women, and men, saw the displays and started buying," she said. The biggest growth In the bridal garter sales came with the end of World War II, she said, "when there were 4.5 mil lion men coming back from the wars and 4.5 million women dy ing to get married." Mrs. Hewitt said post-war sales continued to- climb, even though hemlines came back down. Current annual produc tion of her firm is about 25,000 dozen pairs, she said. Mrs. Hewitt also sells garters for movie and broadway produc tions.' Beatrice Lillie will toss some Hewitt designs into the audience In her forthcoming Broadway play, "The Ziegfeld Follies." "One of our best customers is a strip-teaser," said Mrs. He witt. "She orders by 50 dozen lots . . . tosses them to the cus tomers." f Italians . Sing Blues Over Opera By ELVEZIO BIANCHI United Press Correspondent Rome (U.R) In Italy, where children in cowboy suits hum arias from Verdi, they re sing ing the blues. The Ministry of Finance plans to slash the subsidy it hands out to. the famous old opera houses of 12 major cities. Mayors, man agers and mezzosopranos are shouting that this well kill opera in the land that cradled it. Stage hands, trumpet players and chorus singers speak darkly of a strike which would shut down the houses in protest. The "May Musical" festival at Florence and the outdoor season at Rome's incomparable baths of Caracalla, which draw thou sands of American tourists, are threatened. A pall hangs over Milan's La Scala, majestic mat ron of the music world. The mayors have met three times in a month, and opera of ficials have gone on bended kfiee to the ministry, singing the "Io Muoio Disperato" I Die In Des pair aria from Puccini's "Tosca." Stout Refusal But the government has stout ly refused to restore the pro posed cut. Opera last year receiv ed $6.7 million, 12 per cent of the government's total take in taxes on entertainment. Finance Minister Adone Zoli plans to slash this to S4.3 million, or eight per cent. Only a few years ago opera's share was 15 per cent. All this may seem unthinkable in the land which provided the language for musicians the world pver, the country where gondoliers, waiters and office typists will break into a few bars of Bellini or Rossini with out provocation. ' i But the government notes a dip in opera's popularity among I the masses who are wrapped up in television, movies and sports. Opera superintendents bale j fully admit that they could in j stitue economies in the expen , sive empires they have built. ; The government accuses them ! of bad organization. They con ! fess they hired too many high I priced foreign stars in the past. I But they don't' want Italians ! singing Wagner and Mozart; , they say that lowering admission , prices would only worsen their ' financial plight while boosting them would, drive patrons away. And to pay artists less would only cause the stars who have given Italian opera its great tra dition to migrate abroad. j The superintendents and ma yors have raised another pro I blem for the government. They j note the fantastic cost, under j Italian laws, of firing employees, I with or without notice. Meanwhile, La Scala. magic j name of music-with-words, says : it needs S448.000 to last out the season until March 31. - Girl Scout Troop Plans Salem Trip Girl Scout Troop 155, com posed of sixteen eighth grade girls from McLoughln Junior High school, will leave Thurs day, February 28, for Salem to visit the legislature and other buildings and places of interest at the state capitol. This trip will be the climax of six years of scouting for these girls. The trip will complete the activities planned to help the members earn the "my govern ment" badge, thus completing the curved bar rank, highest achievement in Intermediate Girl Scouting. My government badge was of ficially introduced in girl scout ing in 1953, and is designed to increase the Girl Scout's knowl- ege' about local, state and fed eral government. "Knowing that how we think as adults depends largely on what we learn as children. Girl Scouts are urged to think for themselves, and learn to respect the rights of others," a leader states. "In the Girl Scout program the pride of citizenship is taught, giving them a sense of belong ing, a desire to understand the government of this country, and other countries as well, and an awareness that they have some thing to contribute to it." Troop 155 started working on the my government badge be fore the election last fall, taking ing an active part at the League of Women Voter's Candidates' Fair, where they served as aides and messengers. They had a booth where they took names of people who wanted baby sitters on election day. They also met all the candidates which made the election more real to them; they will meet several of these people again when they visit the capitol. While in Salem plans are for them to stay at the Marion hotel, and to many of these girls this will be "a first." The Girl Scout council has planned for an eighth grade troop in Salem to hostess them during the visit. The trip will be made in four cars driven by mothers of the girls. These will be Mrs. Jack Sanborn, lead er of the troop, Mrs. Dale Walt ermire, Mrs. Kenneth Edwards, and Mrs. Roy Jackson. Mrs. Precia Medley, a teacher at Jack son school, who has accompanied the girls on many other outings and has contributed much to help them get ready for this trip, will also go with the troop. Financing the trip has been the big project for the girls this year; this has been done in vari ous ways, with all the girls of the troop participating. Courtesy Chevrolet is loaning a car for the trip and the Girl Scout coun cil station wagon will also be used. Girls making the trip will be Linda Jo Waltermire, Martha Sanborn, Donna Fosgate, Janice Hillerman, Sherry Pritchard, Judy Hardin, Betty Young, Shar on Smith, Pam Gilkison, Louise Willis, Judy Sims, Betty Kyker, Roberta Willett, Pam Jackson, Barbara Baccus and Mary Lou Moore. Mrs. Gertrude Holmes and Mrs. Naomi Van Dyke, teachers in the McLoughlin Junior High school, have been coaching the girls on civics and procedures of the legislature.

Lamps in Giant Size Shown in Collections New York (U.R) A race of "giants" has taken over in the lamp department. Tall lamps are the rule, not the exception in the new col lections, reported the Lamp and Shade Institute of America.

Storekeepers, we think, art enirely too modest. They serve you and your family tvery day, yet how. often do you remember their importance in your life? The merchant is a businessman. He must carry a heavy investment. He must own his own building or pay rent for it. There are clerks and salespeople to pay. And a constanly-changing display of food or merchandise of some kind. The merchant must always make you think that "the customer is al ways right." Which isn't always true.
