Ike's Secretary
No. 1 Girl Friday
"Washington nyi Meet
"Mrs. Ann Whitman, America's
Number One "Girl Friday."
Mrs. Whitman is personal
secretary to President Eisen
hower has been since 1952,
and rates as his right-hand
"man," because she shares
the White House crises, the
Presidents calms, his satisfac
tions and his disappointments
on the job.
Most "Girl Fridays" accept
as part of the job the fact that
they must keep the boss' con
fidences, be errand boy, ad
viser, and diplomat. Mrs.
Whitman does all this, but on
an international basis. When
the President travels, she
travels also to Augusta, to
Denver, to Newport, to Paris.
Many a working girl might
well envy Ann Whitman, for
her fascinating job and for
her place in the world spot
light. But a second look, and
few would trade their jobs
for the responsibilities on
"Mrs. Whitman's slim shoul
ders.. She is, of course, a
skilled shorthand writer and
typist. She works 12 hours, or
more, a day often six days
B week, sometimes seven.
; Her discretion must be as
flawless as her typing, since
lihe is present often at-inti-rmate
discussions in the Presi
dent's office and has access to
the top secret matter in his
files.
- She also must anticipate the
President's moods, watch for
Significant happenings. Mrs.
Whitman was the one who
first detected Mr. Eisen
hower's speech defect after
his slight cerebral attack on
Nov. 25.
Mrs. Whitman is well qual
ified to be in a world spot
Zlight. In her mid-forties, she
3s a slender, handsome worn
Zan with silver hair and dark
eyes, and a definite sense of
jstyle.
5 Her determination on the
Ziob is pretty well known
raround Washington. Once she

Sack Silhouette Causing
Heated Fashion Controversy
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York W Mention
the sack silhouette on Seventh
avenue these days and you
can start a controversy warm
as a tweed suit in August.
Most fashion houses on the
avenue, heart of the nation's
wholesale garment district,
are all for some version of
the sack or chemise or shift
seeing a long run for a sil
houette which hugs the body
only at the hipline.
But some denounce it in
terms nigh onto unprintable.
And a few, including the late
Christian Dior, whose last col
lection was shown the nation's
fashion press Monday, feature
the chemise as just one of
several shapes for the new
season.
Foresees Major Change
In the definitely "pro" col
umn are such leading houses
as Larry Aldrich, Inc., whose
designer, Marie McCarthy, de
emphasized waist and bust in
virtually every daytime dress.
"I'm convinced we're on the
threshold of a major silhou
ette change," said Aldrich,.in
an interview before his collec-
School Director
To Be Speaker
For Altrusa Club
Dr. Alva Graham, director
of the Graduate school, South
ern Oregon college, will be
guest speaker for a dinner
meeting of Altrusa club to be
held at Rogue Valley Country
club, Thursday, January 9, at
7 p. m.
Dr. Graham will be accom
panied by Mrs. Graham, and
will be introduced by Mrs
Bertha Haskins, chairman of
the public affairs committee
which is in charge of the club
programs for the month of
January. Members of this
committee are Miss Grace
Stuhr, chief nurse of the
Camp White domiciallary,
Mrs. Bereth Hopkins, county
clerk, and Miss Mary Pat
Lucy, county home extension
agent. Hostesses for the month
are Mrs. Haskins and Mrs.
Edna Mole.
Husbands and friends " of
members will be guests for the
dinner meeting.
Monday, January 6, the
executive board of Altrusa
met for a potluck dinner and
meeting at the home of the
president, Mrs. Enid Rankin.
Happy Cakes
A happy cake Is light, high
and evenly browned on top,
bottom and sides. A sad cake
is heavy, humped and much
too brown all over. Pans can
make the difference. Shiny
pans reflect the heat in your
gas oven, allowing the cake to
rise and brown evenly. Cake
pans that are dark or discol
ored on the outside hold the
heat, making the layers bake
too fast and rise and brown
unevenly. v
Add 2 teaspoons of chili
powder, salt and pepper to a
pound of ground meat for
hamburgers with a western
flavor.
tion was shown reporters at
tending shows held semi-an
nually by the couture group of
the New York Dress Institute.
"Unfitted doesn't mean
shapeless or without sex ap
peal," Aldrich said. "It just
means a change of eye inter
est, from bust to hips and
legs.
'Shelf Now Vulgar

tinularlv on the stage and
screen. They went to such ex
tremes that even well-endowed
women were wearing fal
sies. That shelf out front no
longer looked charming, just
vulgar.
Nettie Risenstein, who de
signed both inaugural gowns
for Mrs. Dwisht D. .Eisenhow
er, argued instead that "wom

Dior, who designed his New
York wholesale collection
shortly before his death last
October 23, belted the chem
ise. His legacy to spring fash
ion also included the bell sil
houette, with skirts full and
gathered inward at the hem
line: and the "blouson," or
full - at - the-top, skinny-from-
the-waist-down shape.
Dior following the Seventh
avenue trend, shortened skirts
to 16 inches.
Siskiyou Club
Names Speaker
Ashland Cyrus Radcliff e,
former owner of a small busi
ness and a veteran of service
with the U. S. Army Air Force
during World War II, will be
the next speaker for Siskiyou
Knife and Fork club. The din
ner meeting will be held Fri
day, January 17, in the Elks'
Dining room, Ashland.
His topic will be "Uncle
Sam's Parade." Mr. Radcliffe,
who spoke to the Medford
club a few years ago concern
ing his experiences with the
National Labor Relations
board, later toured the Iron
Curtains countries, the Near
East, Southern and Eastern
Asia to observe latior condi
tions and production poten
tials in those countries.
Club members are to make
reservations with the club
secretary, Mrs. R. A. Hern
dobler, 1500 Oregon street,
no later than January 15.

Lamb' Prices Low
To get the most for your
money when you buy lamb it
is important to consider the
cost of the lean meat, not just
the price you pay per pound.
Home economists with the Gas
Appliance Manufacturers as
sociation say that cuts differ
greatly in the amount of lean
they contain. This accounts
for the wide variation in price
of these cuts. Prices reach a
seasonal low during the fall
and winter months. So, enjoy
lamb now while it is tops in
quality and low in price.

Second Bathroom
More Important
Than Second Car
Washington (W ,z Which
is more important to the
American family a second
car or a second bathroom?
At a recent three-day Wom
en's Housing Congress here,
100 housewives from nearly
every state in the union rated
a second bathroom "the most
important home improve
ment." The delegates were asked:
"If your next home could
be designed to provide facil
ities for each member of the
family, would it be worth an
additional S5 to $8 per month
in mortgage payments?"
Two-thirds replied "Yes."
The Plumbing Fixture Man
ufacturers Association, one of
the sponsors of the Congress,
said their main reason was
that bathroom privacy would
lessen family tensions and
frustrations.
They wanted "togetherness"
in every part of the home but
the bathroom.
Auxiliary Plans
Monthly Session
The January meeting of La
dies' auxiliary to the Carpen
ters' local will be held Janu
ary 17 at 8 p.m. at Carpen
ters' hall, 123V4 West Main
street.
The group held a holiday
party at the home of the pres
ident, Mrs. Fred Meadows,
1000 Sunset avenue.
Donnie Weter, Roger Wiley
and Douglas Mann who are
students of Mrs. Meadows,
entertained the group with
several accordion numbers,
The remainder of the evening
was spent in playing games
appropriate to the holiday
season, after which a gift ex-
change and refreshments
were enjoyed.
Sixteen members have re
cently received their auxil
iary pins.
Winter Cottons Need
Special Treatment
Dark cottons don't lie
they tell all. When washed
with lighter clothes they be
come linty. Ironing them on
the right side produces a
shine. Margaret Spader, home
service editor of the Gas Ap
pliance Manufacturers asso
ciation suggests that dark cot
tons get exclusive treatment
in the family laundry. When
starching, for instance, al
ways immerse the entire gar
ment in the starch solution.
Spin or wring the garments
so all excess starch is re
moved. Miss Spader says
that ironing on the wrong
side prevents the shiny look.
If it is necessary to touch up
the right side, cover the fab
ric with a soft cloth and iron
lightly. That's the way the
professionals do it.
Always use cold water to
make meat soups. Keep the
kettle covered.
