Milliner's Sports Collection
Dominated by New Fishy Look
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York HP) Okay, fellows.
You can quit laughing at some
of those things we've been call
ing hats. For you ain't seen
nothin' yet!
A 27-year-old milliner named
William J. just previewed his
summer sports collection. And
the word is, if it swims we will
wear it. The designer, a self
styled "mad hatter," comes up
with some fishy specimens, even
if the fins are felt and the scales
are sequins.
"These hats are for fun, done
with style," said William J. "But
I do make serious hats. My fun
hats are for the young in heart.
Leslie Caron, Margaret O'Brien
and Audrey Hepburn are my
customers."
The milliner, Boston - born,
Harvard-educated and fairly new
to the New York design scene,
showed beach hats shaped like
octopus, lobster, dolphin and
other denizens of the deep. He
even supplies the hooks. Girl
supplies bait.
Yard-Wide Octopus
His octopus, a yard wide, Is
mostly of bright orange straw,
but has eyes of beaver felt with
jet-bead centers. Tentacles have
black velvet tips and the mil
liner declared these wind around
milady's head in a most fetching
manner.
"Hats have just been too se
date that's what's wrong with
the millinery business," said the
designer, hauling forth a lob
ster. This number, in straw,

measured about three feet, with
claws draped toward the wear
er's face. The tail drapes to the
back, like a streamer.
"One of my favorites is this
pink sailor," said William J. It
was prosaic enough at first look,
but second showed a pliable line
dangling from it. On the end:
a four-foot long fish in pink and
red felt.
Fisherman's Basket
Another hat copied a fisher
man's basket "with compart
ments for packing your beach
lunch," he said. At the fashion
show, the model pulled out a
silver fox fur instead.
His "mermaid" collection fea
tured something new in hat ma
terials .aluminum woven to
look like fine braid. He also
has a group of hats for lady
golfers.
These carried out the sports
theme with such decorations as
a bobbing golf ball on a spring.
One, he dubbed the "19th hole."
It featured a gold-embroidered
bar scene.
William J. said the wearer
need not worry about keeping
these "fun" hats on. Each is built
with bandeaux or other interior
equipment for a firm fit.
The designer, bom William
J. Cunningham, now runs two
firms. The other, bearing the
Cunningham name, produces the
''serious" hats he mentioned.
"I make more money as Wil
liam J," he said.
Last year, the designer startled
the millinery industry with a
collection of outside fruit and
vegetable hats for the beach.
What's for the future?
"Oh, probably something to.
do with' outer space," he said.
Black-Eyed Pea Group
To Stay Incorporated
Taylor, Tex. (IP) Lovers of

Elmore R. Torn, acting presi
dent of the National Black-Eyed
Pea Association, Inc., said he
has abandoned plans to unin
corporate the association, and
convert it into a society.
Instead, Torn has again open
ed the rolls to new members
on the basis of what he calls
a bargain in an era of inflation
one cent for a lifetime mem
bership. Long on members and short
on money, Torn abandoned plans
to dissolve the association's

red such an act would call for
the consent of an estimated 1,000
members in 42 states.

Small Audience Attends
Concert Sunday Afternoon
The Philharmonic Society of
Southern Oregon gave the open
ing concert of the 1957-58 sea
son yesterday. The orchestra
was smaller than it should have
been the audience was smaller
than it should have been. Be
cause it was the first concert of
a new season, and because the
compositions ot two local musi
cians were on the program, sup
porters of the society and of the
orchestra had hoped that those
in the community interested in
fine music would indicate this
interest by attending.
Possibly the orchestra mem
bers who did play yesterday,
and their capable conductor,
Richard D. Werner, are not dis
couraged. We hope not. The or
chestra (supported at first by a
chorus) was organized some 10
years ago and with the excep
tion of two or three years, has
rehearsed and provided the com
munity with a concert series
each season.
Considering the promise
which the venture showed' in
the beginning, there seems just
cause for discouragement.
However, the problems which
face the Philharmonic here are
not unique.
In the spring of 1957 the Ford
Foundation began a comprehen
sive study of the economic and
social positions of the arts and
of the artists in the United
States today, combining the
study with one on the humani
ties already underway. One of
the four listed purposes of the
program is to "support experi
ments, demonstrations and stud
ies that will help clarify objec
tives, set standards, or open new
avenues in the humanities and
arts."
Music, of course, is one of the
most important of the arts. At
one point in a recent booklet
published toy the Foundation to
explain the study program, it is
stated that "Many people be
lieve that a reexamination of
the traditional ways by which
cultural institutions have been
organized and given financial
support is required."
The booklet touches on the
problems of symphony orches
tras, and on the problem of dis
covering, training and introduc
ing talented young people.
What the Ford Foundation is
studying on a national scale
might very well be studied in
Medford on a local scale. Possi
bly we need a "reexamination"
of the Philharmonic society's
goals and problems in light of
the trends and developments in
the lives of Americans brought
about by recorded music, radio
and television
To turn again to the Ford
Foundation booklet, it reports
that "the symphony and the
child" presents a complex prob
lem, and that "no audience is
courted more by the symphony
conductor, manager and trustee
than the elementary school
child." It appears that those in
terested in symphony orchestras
have decided "to rear their own
adult patrons." Conductors also
hope that by interesting more
school children in good music,
they will eventually reap an in
creased harvest of players, par
ticularly string players, which
are in acute demand in all parts
of the nation.
At this point the booklet fur
ther states mat the shortage of
string players also may be a
partial result of the supremacy
of the school band in the lives
of most school children. Here,
again, the symphony manager
sees his target as the child, and
his national organizations seek
large-scale outside support to at
tack tne problem of winning
and holding his audience
So, the problem here If also
the national problem. How to
win and hold the interest of
adults who are the potential
present-day audience, and how
to win and hold the interest of
the child who will be the next
generation musician and audi
ence. The Medford public school
system has what is considered to
be an excellent program of music
instruction and participation. In
mEBFORD.ORKDIl
has been steadily strengthened
as the years have gone by. Why
has it not produced a citizenry
which continues to play in
bands and orchestras after grad
uation, and supports these same
musical groups by attending the
concerts?
If the alert, cooperative and
intelligent people of Medford in
terested in music can do some
thing to solve this problem, they
will not only be of service to
Medford, but could add the re
sults of their labors to the find
ings of the Foundation, which
hopes to make its survey nation
wide and on a grass-roots level.
To return to yesterday's con
cert the program opened with a
lively and tuneful processional,
the work of Albert Huntemann.
Mr. Huntemann not only heard
his composition played, but par
ticipated in its presentation
since he is one of the bass viol
players in the string section of
the orchestra.
An accomplished musician in
both the directing and composi
tion fields, Mr. Huntemann is
director of McLoughlin Junior
High school band.
Also on the program was the
"Nocturne" from an orchestral
suite composed by Ray Schwei-
ger. Retired from the active mu
sic world but still interested in
composing, Mr. Schweiger's
"Nocturne" indicates that he is
a musician of considerable inter
pretative ability. Since Sunday's
audience was so small, perhaps
these two works could be in
cluded in other programs of the
orchestra in the future in order
that a larger audience might be
privileged to hear them.
Main offering of the program
was Schubert's "Symphony No.
3 in D Major," composed when
the eminent musician was but
18 years old. Light in nature,
tnis worK nas no slow move
ment and was written to be
played without the use of the
trombones in the brass section
As played yesterday, it failed
to hold the complete attention
of the audience.
The concert-goers, however,
seemed to enjoy and responded
more to tne orchestras more
skillful interpretation of Gluck's
overture to "Iphigenia in Aulis,"
one of two operas which Gluck
composed about this figure from
mythology. Iphigenia was the
daughter of Agamemmon and
Clytemnestra in Greek mythol
ogy, and her story has been a
favorite theme for poets and
composers.
Director Werner closed the
program with a favorite Strauss
composition, "Beautiful Blue
Danube."
At intermission time members
of the Philharmonic Society
guild served coffee in the lobby,
a gesture which the audience
appreciates. O.S.
CHESS WINNER
Portland (IP) Viktor Pu
