association. Parents and other
interested citizens will be invit

With such tremendous current
pressure for more science and
mathematics teaching the public

of what their schools are teach
ing, according to Mrs. Russell
Case, Portland, committee mem

Oregon Congress. "It is hoped
these conferences will give them
such an opportunity," she said.
Four major questions are be
ing posed for the discussions.
(1) As parents and taxpayers
what do we expect our schools
to do for our children? (2) What
are our schools doing for our
children now? (3) What is being
done to improve our school pro
gram? (4) What can we as par
ents and taxpayers do in our
own area to have better schools
for our children?
The state planning committee
members from the three organi
zations are as follows: Mrs.
Case, Portland; Mrs. Larry Mar-
schat, Salem; Mrs. Joseph Ed

Chiropodist and Dancer
Speak for Charm School
Dr. Arnold Depner and Mrs
Margeen Thurston were the spe
cial consultants at the second
session of Rogue Valley area
charm school for Intermediate
Girl Scouts. Dr. Depner, Med
ford chiropodist, opened the ses
ion by stating that at birth 95
per cent of babies are born with
good feet, but by the time they
start to school 50 per cent have
foot trouble of some kind, and
by the time they become adults
almost 95 per cent have some
kind of foot trouble. He also
stated that the main factor in
these troubles are foot gear, the
shoes and stockings or socks
worn.
Dr. Depner told the girls they
should always try to wear the
right shoes for each occasion,
stating . that an oxford tie was
the best for those on their feet
a lot, because of the support
given; it also prevents the feet
from spreading. He suggested
Bread Loaves
Make Decoration
For Christmas
Denver (IF) Decorating" the
home at Christime time need
not be an additional expense, if
you heed the advice of Mrs. Lor
raine Quarve, who serves as
foods instructor at Emily Grif
fith Opportunity School.
Her favorite decoration is a
winter scene made of bread
loaves. The birds get it after the
family tires of the scenery.
Mrs. Quarve said the project
goes over big in her home where
her husband and young son and
daughter serve as builders.
Here's how to make the houses:
Remove crusts from unsliced
bread loaves, making each loaf
rectangular in shape. Use anoth
er loaf to carve the slanted
rooms and chimney and then
put them together with tooth
picks and attach to a base. If
you want to make a church, fol
low the same procedure except
shape a steeple from the second
loaf and attach to the rectangu
lar loaf.
Mrs. Quarve frosts, the house
with icing made from one egg
white and two cups of powdered
sugar, and uses a pastry tube to
decorate the roof. She says the
chimney should be frosted red,
with the doors and windows out
lined with the same color as the
roof. Christmas trees or wreaths
can be drawn in the windows
with icing.
To make a popcorn tree, Mrs.
Quarve advises pouring a pop
corn ball mixture into two tree
molds. When it is hard, one of
the trees is cut in half and the
three pieces are stuck together
to form a four-sided tree. Crush
ed candy can be used for paths,
and hedges can be made from
marshmallows, toothpicks and
gumdrops.
Colored Gloves
Replacing White
In High Society
By UNITED PRESS
Colored gloves replace white
gloves in high society. Fashion
experts say the gloves let women
keep up with color trends, even
if they can't wear the shade in
large amounts. Most important
color for spring is blue, from
deep to pastel.
Small-fry in Salt Lake City
have adopted slim skirts as a
club symbol. Sixth-graders form
ed a club and voted to wear the
skirts on Thursdays.
The chemise look comes to
maternity clothes. Several manu
facturers show the chemise fall
ing in straight lines or in pleated
folds from the shoulders.

the girls avoid sandals and loaf
ers as that type of shoes does
not give adequate support. He
also advocated that the girls
avoid bedroom slippers or gym
shoes for every day wear be
cause of lack of support; also the
rubber soles on the gym shoes
generate heat that causes exces
sive sweating. The shoes are
good for gym wear but not gen
eral wear.
Warnings Given
Feet grow and the bones
lengthen for most people until
they are almost 20 years of age,
according to the doctor, and
short or ill-fitted shoes can cause
serious malformation. Especially
he warned the girls to avoid
pointed toes for daily wear, and
to be sure that shoes be at least
one half to three-quarter inches
longer than the longest toe
(which is not always the great
toe); it is better to have shoes
too large than too small, he said.
When buying shoes they should
allow for growth and for the
weight to be placed on the foot.
Stockings or socks should be at
least an inch longer than the
foot; natural materials are best,
cotton, wool or mixture of these
with nylon.
The doctor also gave the girls
some suggestions for making the
best use of their shoes. This in
cluded changing shoes and
stockings often, and not wearing
shoes with bare feet) avoiding
wrinkles or folds in stockings
and use a good foot powder
daily. He then spoke briefly of
the major foot . trouble. The
girls were then shown a film,
"Shake Hands With Your Feet".
After the girls sang a few
carols, led by Senior Girl
Scouts, Mrs. Thurston of the
Thurston School of the Dance
spoke to the girls on good pos
ture and how to attain and main
tain it. Mrs. Thurston stated that
with good posture even a plain
girl can look beautiful, and can
wear clothes beautifully. She
gave the girls some exercises to
do that will help them attain
good posture; one exercise was
stretching standing tall, by put
ting the vertebrae in the right
position. Mrs. Thurston had
Stephanie Hertager, one of her
ballet students, demonstrate
each exercise.
Hundreds Attend
Some of the points emphasized
in the posture session was sitting
correctly, walking correctly,
deep breathing, and healthy feet
Mrs. Thurston warned the girls
to avoid carrying school books
on one side all the time, as this
can cause a curvature of the
spine. She also told the girls
that certain ballet exercises
helped toward good posture.
Troops attended from as far
away as Cave Junction and Yre-
ka, Calif. Approximately 500
girls were present. Each troop
was judged on good grooming
and troop 25, Jefferson school,
was given custody of the travel
ing trophy for good grooming
until the January meeting. Lead
er of Troop 25 is Mrs. R. P.
Knight.
Next session of the charm
school will be January 11, and
Mrs. A. O. Eden will be in
charge, with the program being
on hospitality and etiquette.
