Women Increase Life Insurance To 65 Billions New York The women of America begin this year with the greatest amount of life in-! surance protection they have ' ever had. Indications are that women own some 65 billion dollars, (billions, not millions) of life insurance, and that when the final figure is available, if may actually be higher, ac cording to the Institute of Life insurance. This is no sudden increase. Women have been adding steadily to their life insur ance, which, incidentally, comes to about 15 per cent of all life insurance. The effect of women's ownership, as far as their families are concerned, has been to add considerably to family protection at all stages of life.

The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth grades were each rep resented by a parent and a student on the panel Repre senting the Seventh grade were Mrs. Fred Simcox and Michael Gline; Eighth grade, Mrs. LeRoy Jensen and Carl Washburn; Ninth grade, Rob ert Rix and Jackie White. Mrs. Naomi Van Dyke was the teacher representative and the Rev. Haddon Robinson was moderator for the panel. The program was introduced by Mrs. Roy Elgram, unit vice-president. Background Given In giving background for the 'Code of Conduct," the Rev. Mr. Robinson explained that a conduct code for the teen-age isn't something new, but has been talked about and tried for several years. It has had considerable success in a number of eastern cities and more recently in San Francis co; a similar code is being studied by Oregon students and parents-teachers associa tions at this time. It was noted that a code of conduct was discussed by more then 300 delegates from Oregon high schools at a governor's youth Conference last November; since that time Salem High school youth were the first to set up a code in Oregon. ., The parents and students arrived at close agreement in most areas of discussion. Dat ing and going steady were recognized to be a fashion or fad in this age group because it seemed important for both boys and girls to conform to what they believed other young people their age or group were doing. Parents felt Seventh and Eighth children too young for single dating and said group parties and activities under adult super vision more acceptable. Discourage Going Steady Going steady was discour aged for all junior high teens. Groups and double dating were .considered best for Ninth graders. The fad of go ing steady was summed up by the Ninth grade representa tive this way, "You just weren't in style unless you were going steady, whether you liked him or not." The Seventh and Eighth grade rep resentatives said that going steady to them doesn't mean what parents think it does. For instance, "you give a girl you like a chain or bracelet to let her know you like her and in two or three days she gives it back to you. Thats how long we go steady." Time In Discussed Time to return home if stu dents go out school nights was 9:30 p.m., and week-ends the time was 11:30 or later by pre arrangement only. Getting plenty of rest was said to be the real problem at this age, and this becomes an indiv idual problem. The Eighth grade representative said "Sometime I stay up later than that doing homework and book reports; I get more rest when I go out." On allowances the student representatives were in agre ement that they didn't ap prove of receiving an allow ance from their parents with out having earned it through fulfilling obligations. Some parents were of the opin ion thaj giving allowances is not facing the world with realism. Parents are supposed to prepare the child for adult CREAM ANTI-DETERGENT HAND CREAM thai goes into damaged skin. ..softens smooths instantly... brings bacP the natural beauty of your hands hood and parenthood, it was said, and who is going to hand out money to them later? Proper preparation for life includes a realistic concept of money, the parent stated. Home parties were necour aged by the parents. The stu dents said that for a good party the parents should show interest and co-operation and welcome their children's friends to their home. The students all said that parents should chaperone all home parties, but let the students plan them. Telephone Time Parents put a limit of 10 minutes on student telephone calls, and thought it poor taste to monopolize the tele phone. Students agreed. Preceding the meeting, the Mothersinger entertained the group with three numbers. The chorus is directed by Mrs. LeRoy Jansen and accompani ed by Mrs. H. Chandler Drew. Mrs. Jensen invited interest ed parents to join the group 10: a.m. at Hedrick cafe torium. Committees Report Mrs. John Schroeder, presi dent, conducted a brief busi ness meeting. Several com mittee reports were given. Mrs. Maurice Ritchey, mem bership chairman, reported 408 PTA memberships to date; Mrs. Rex Nicodemus announ ced that a miscellaneous sale of plants, white -elephants, candy and baked food would be held in connection with the March meeting to raise the amount still necessary to meet the budget. Mrs. Ro land Holmes announced first meeting of study groups on January 29, and said notices would be sent from the school announcing the time and place of the meeting.

VTrf U MED FOR D 1? 1 IDEAL SHOE KEEPER NOTIONS DEPT. 1st FLOOR Chemise Style Dominates California Fashion Shows Three Medford women from two of the local ladies' ready-to-wear shops returned last week from Los Angeles where they attended the showings of the spring and summer fashions. Traveling south for the showings were Mrs. Jean Hart of her store at 617 East Main street, and Mrs. Nunya Lizberg and Mrs. Marjorie Green, both of Burelson's Ladies Ready-to-Wear, Main and Bartlett streets. The chemise was definitely a large part of the showings, they reported, with the style in all price ranges and in a wide variety of colors and fabrics. The women think that the chemise is a refreshing change for women's fashions, and reported that modified versions of the chemise are found to be very comfortable and cool, since they have no belt. The new chemise was shown for daytime, casual, and after five wear, they reported, and the colors ranged from the bright yellows, orange, and tangerines to the more basic blues, greens, and black. White and pastels, especially coral, are also popular colors for sports and daytime wear. The local buyers comment ed on the wide variety of new fabrics which "fool the eye." They mentioned that at times it was necessary to consult the label to discover whether the frock was made of cotton or silk. Majority of the fab rics are washable and carry the "dripu-dry" recommenda tion instead of ironing. They added that the styles are definitely shorter. Those women who do not feel they should wear the new chemise need not worry, the Medford buyers explained, since many of the other styles including sheaths and dresses with fuller skirts were also included in the showings. Still popular are the jacket dresses, summer suits, and sweater dresses. Many of these were shown in linen and silk while others were team ed with the ever popular short jacket. Accessories found printed shoes and handbags to match or in the solid colors includ ing white. The dress foot wear shown dictates that mi lady will wear lower heels this spring and summer with the pointed toe continuing this year. Ropes of jewelry break the simpler lines of the chem ise, they reported, and these may be had in a variety of colors and imitation gems.
