SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday July 28. 1957 Jewelry of Fur and Leather Featured in Fall Collections Br GAY PAULEY United Press Correipondent New York W This week in Manhattan: All that glitters is only part (old in some of the fall jewelry. The rest is fur or leather. One costume jewelry manufac turer, Coro, introduced a col lection of bracelets, pendants, cuff links and earrings in leo pard. The only touch of metals was in the simulated gold setting for the fur. The firm also showed leather in such shades as winter navy, plum red, and emerald green forming the "jewel" cen ter for gold-rimmed bracelets, earrings, pins and pendants. Pendants, or the lavaliers of our grandmother's day, are fea tured in most new jewelry col lections.

New York drivers complained the women were rolling up back windows to keep their hairdoes intact, even though this made the cabs down right unbearable. My informal poll showed that despite the drivers' objections, the women went right on closing the windows, having the last word as usual. New York designers, who two weeks ago presented their new styles, felt skirt lengths "as is for fall. But some designers in London and Rome this week fea tured hemlines as much as 17 inches from the floor. Whether this shorter skirt will be featured in Paris, we won t know until next week when the French collections in cluding the one from Christian Dior will be shown. If hemlines do go up, there Is one comfort, laaies. n, alter we must, we have more fabric to work with than when the hemline is going down.

Beth Denton, a 35-year-old waitress with a spirit of adventure, is helping to pioneer a new career for her sex. The blonde Miss Denton, who comes from Portland, Ore., is one of 29 waitresses selected from more than 1,000 applicants for jobs on the new luxury liner, the Mariposa first steamer in 'the Pacific Ocean to use female help. "I applied because I wanted to see the class of service on a ship at sea, I wanted to improve my position, because I have a spirit of adventure and I like the money," says Miss Denton. All boiled down, however, most of the girls are on this trip for two reasons: adventure and money. $700 A Month Waitresses aboard luxury lin ers possibly are the highest in come group among women in United States, outside such pro fessional groups as doctors and lawyers. They receive a base pay of $359 for working eight hours per day, seven days a week while the ship is at sea. It is reasonable to assume that each one will make an additional 200 per month from tips. Add this to free board and room and it brings the total near the $700 per month mark. The best part about this, said Miss Denton, is the fact that there is practically no place to spend money aboard a ship. Some of the girls will be allowed to get off ship on this cruise for a short time at such ports of call as Honolulu, Tahiti and Sydney. To Save Money But they will have only a few hours shore leave each day. So most of them expect to finish the six-week trip with the big gest share of their earnings in tact. According to Paul Werner, the Mariposa maitre d'hotel and j veteran of many trips at sea, the gins were cnusen irum appli cants in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle and San Fran cisco. "To meet our standards, they had to pass physical tests, have had previous experience in a Class A hotel or night club," said Werner. All of those who signed up now have plans to work the job for at least one full year al though they can quit at the end Potpourri Five young women who attended school together In Medford recently held a reunion here with their 16 sons and daughters Together for the first time in many years were Mrs. F. R. Alley Jr., the former Patricia Thompson who now lives in Arcadia, Calif.: Mrs. C. H. Ferguson, the former Catherine Conroy who was en route from rier former home in Washington to a new one in San Francisco; Mrs. John Parsons, Josephine Bullis before her mar riage and who lives in Falls Church, Va.; Mrs. Sheridan Cavitt, the former Mary DeVoe and Mrs. Robert Root, who before her marriage was Betty Fowler. Mrs. Cavitt and her husband, a lieutenant-colonel in the USAF recently returned to the United States after spending two years in Greece, and will now live in Buena Park, Calif. The reunion was held-at the home of Seth Bullis, Mrs. Parsons' father, and Grandpa Bullis got out his camera and took pictures of the five young women and their 16 offspring. Potpourri luxuriated in a long day at home Wednesday, the first day at home alone for several weeks. The housewife-gardener- editor spent three hours in the garden, about that long over the family washing, ironed, did a little house-cleaning and at noon did something which is a rare treat reclined on the patio lounge for a leisurely tray lunch accompanied by the red-letter Shake speare, a copy of the Christian Science Monitor, a couple of back issues of the Saturday Review and miscellaneous other stacked-up reading material. Whenever eyes tired of the printed page they wandered to the blue sky, the cypress tree with its beautiful bluish-green cones, or the patio flower pots overflowing with blue lobelia and white petunias. Potpourri silently thanked heaven that the two of us live where we can own land enough to grow a green lawn and trees and flowers. Especially flowers. The lack of flowers in the big cities in the east was astonishing to the country cousin. One sees some flowers while touring Washington, D. C, although Ore- gonians in our party sightseeing in the capital privately agreed that they couldn't compare with the gardens and flowers at home but a flower lover in Philadelphia and New York is soon starved. One afternoon Potpourri took a sightseeing bus from Phila delphia to Valley Forge. The trip took four hours we went by one route and returned another and in all that time we never saw a bed of flowers. Once we saw a few straggly day lilies grow ing outside a rock wall, and a few potted geraniums were bloom ing in front of a wayside greenhouse. The bus route took us past many big, imposing homes with large lawns and much shrubbery, past schools, colleges and corrective institutions for boys and girls. None of them boasted a flower bed at least one that could be seen from the road. Wonderingly we asked the woman seated next to us, a New Englander, about the lack of flowers. "It's partly because of water" she said. 'This part of the country just can't afford to water big flower beds. How do you keeo flowers in Oregon watered is there enough natural rainfall?" Thankfully we replied that in the far western states there is still water enough, even in the bigger cities, for large parks to have extensive plantings of flowers and flowering shrubs; that schools and even some hospitals and churches have flowers planted for all to see and enjoy. We hooe the water resource commissions and conservationists are successful in preserving the water supply of the beautiful west. Potpourri's mail last week brought a copy of a Ladies' Home Journal article by Dorothy Thompson, who charges that many small-town schools are providing "crushingly expensive" buildings and recreational facilities at the expense of poorly paid and over burdened teachers. Miss Thompson seems to write mostly about New England towns and schools, and we cannot contradict her. But the remorks of a New Jersey kindergarten teacher at a circle meeting at the NEA convention came to mind. The six individuals in the circle were talking about the expense of schools and some thought, as does Miss Thompson, that school buildings should be utilitarian and built for service as inexpensively as pos sible. The kindergarten teacher, quiet and retiring, had said little but she spoke up now, passionately and with conviction. Public schools should be beautiful, she said, because often they are the only places where the young children see any real beauty. Many are from homes and districts where buildings are not beautiful and where they might never come in contact with paintings, or furnishings or interior decoration of genuine beauty. Under these circumstances, this teacher believes that it is the function of the public school to educate the young child to an appreciation of the beautiful. This Oreeonian learned much that was Interesting during the three hours we spent that afternoon with the five eastern educa tors. A man from Philadelphia said that the per pupil per year cost of education in Pennsylvania is almost S500; the two teachers from New York state agreed that the per pupil cost of schools in that state is more than $800 a year. When we told them that in Oregon it is less than S250 per pupil per year, none of them be lieved the cost could be so low. ' The New York cost is so high because In the New York City metropolitan area, anyone may attend state and city-supported colleges without cost, providing he can meet the academic stand ards, which are exceedingly high. Senator Mike Mansfield, according to an article In the Chris tian Science Monitor, thinks "Fear of the Soviet Union has been magnified into a dogma in the United States." The Monitor article further quoted the senator as saying that "most or our reactions toward Moscow and communism are governed by fear. The USSR is mammoth; communism is a dangerous ideology; the reaction is .therefore to shun all contacts. Beware or contamination, ovum opportunities to pierce the Iron Curtain." Both the senator and the writer of the article, William H. Stringer, believe this is a bad approach to the problem, that the people of this nation should learn more facts about Russia and communism in order that we may know what It is we fear, and how to combat it. The Monitor writer further sayi we need "a larger confidence In the indestructibility of America's own 'ideolo gy' democracy, and its spiritual foundations when in contact with Soviet and communistic beliefs. Along this line Senator Mansfield said "It is time to recognize that if there are dangers to freedom in the ideology of communism, there are even greater dangers to communism in the doctrine of liberty." The Monitor concludes "We ought not to be so all-fired scared of contact with the Communists. We need to understand what our goals are, why we seek to halt the arms race, why foreign aid is a necessity, what the facts are. The sorry thing which one must re port is that the media of public information, including members of Congress, do not do the job they could in some American areas toward supplying this wider horizon." Fifty years ago yesterday W. J. Warner told his bride, Mary, that they were "a lucky couple" and that life would be good. And it was, too. And a bit of luck capped all the wonderful golden wedding anniversary celebration yesterday, for the Warners were told in the morning that they had won a vacation trip to Seattle offered by the Groceteria. So when the relatives and friends have gone home, and the celebration is all over, the Warners will take off for 'Seattle on their lucky golden wedding present vacation. O.S. Finnish, United States Breads Ranked First And Second in World Boston (W The . United States has the second-best bread in the world, says Dr. Robert S. Harris. Harris, nead of the depart ment of food technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, said an analysis of bread from 13 countries showed the Finnish semi-white bread rank ed first and the United States bread ranked second. A semi- white bread from Switzerland ranked third. Thirty-seven samples of bread were collected from Australia, Austria, Cuba, Denmark, Fin land, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Philippines, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. 17 analyses in order to deter mine' the nutrient content, in cluding water, fat, protein, ash, carbohydrate, calcium, phos phorus, iron, thiamine, riboflav in, niacin, folic acid, vitamin B-6 and Vitamin B-12. These 37 samples were then ranked according to relative richness of each with respect to each nutrient.

SP 3-5345 1 Block East of Hawthorne Park Antinques Decorate Massachusetts Office New York TO Antiques can add special flavor to home or office. The Massachusetts Department of Commerce used the state's native antiques in decorating its new branch office in Manhattan. The motif is that of a Massa chusetts country store from the 1700's. Historic items from all over the state give a well-organized, charming effect. The peg ged wood floor is made from 27-inch "king's lumber" from the famous frigate "Constitu tion." A huge, old-style fireplace j was made from bricks from the j historic Pratt House in Chelsea. A deacon's bench, a standup school master's desk, and a coun try tavern table are other pieces in the office. The "store" win- j dows are the sandwich glass windows taken from several ! homes of the early New England pilgrims, and the shelves and bookcases were built from lum- ber of the Salem witch jail. ' Fresh Vegetables To get tne most for money when buying fresh vegetables, choose only crisp ones with the most color. Preparation waste is high on wilted, half-spoiled vege tables and most of the vitamin C is lost. Raisins Raisins destined for cakes and breads will be plump and juicy if they first are soaked in warm water and then added to the batter or dough. Soup Takes To Summer New York Jm Tasty menu for Sunday night supper: Onion soup, halves of tomatoes or slices of tomato aspic topped with chicken or seafood salad, hot french bread or rolls, and a favorite light dessert. Use either homemade, canned or de hydrated onion soup. Add a few spoonfuls of sherry for extra flavor and serve topped with cro utons and grated parmesan cheese. 1 I W9 WEDDING... e Invitations or e Announcements e Imprinted Wedding Napkins e punch Bowl Rentals at . . 7 E.
