The tiara was the one Mrs. Turpin had worn during her term as royal matron of Roxy Anne Court. After the meeting a short addendum was given in hon or of Mr. Manning and Miss Sampert. Refreshments were had a healthy respect for the organized wrath of American womanhood. It has become one of the axioms of U.S. politics that the surest way to get action on a social reform is to get the women and especially the church women aroused about it. Fair warning is hereby served on civic functionaries that this potent force is again being mobilized in communi ties across the nation. Its target this time is slum housing. The mobilizing is being done by United Church Wom en, a department of the Na tional Council of Churches, which represents some 10 mil lion women in 34 major Protestant denominations. Ladies Aids Help United Church Women has called on all of its local affiliates the ladies' aid so cieties and women's auxilia ries of 200,000 church con gregations to take on the job of "alerting their commu nities to the urgent need" for slum clearance, low-cost hous ing, and neighborhood reha bilitation projects. Next Friday, May 2, church w o m e n's organizations scores of cities will sponsor "come and see tours" of the slums. This idea was orig inated by the church women of Annapolis, Md., several years ago. Church women have learn ed that the actual sights and smells of the slums are the most eloquent arguments that can be made for community improvement programs. If any civic leader remains unconvinced after a first-hand inspection of blighted areas of his city, the ladies are armed with facts and figures. These show how the slums serve as breeding grounds for crime, juvenile delin quency, ' narcotics addiction and disease. They document the incredible overcrowding, the lack of privacy and sani tation, the generally subhu man living conditions that prevail in the run-down sec tons of the city. Needs Continuous Effort No woman's organization which joins the battle for de cent housing should expect to win a victory with one they began badgering the city council to clean up the slums. With the help of a local newspaper, however, they managed to get the issue before the public. Annapolis is now undertaking a S500, 000 slum clearance and low cost public housing project. Similar victories have been won in other cities. Municipal authorities in Columbus, Ohio, credit church women with putting across a bond issue which will open the way for a major slum clearance pro gram. In Grand Rapids, Mich and in Portland, Ore., church women have directed their at tack primarily at racial and religious discriminaton in housing which forces minority groups into high-rent ghettos, New Space Age Affects Colors The space era influences men's slacks. New colors for the slacks come with fancy names, such as "space blue, which is sky-blue; "missile gray," described as "dove gray shot with Stardust;" "jet- stream white; "rocket navy; in 1 "eclipse black;" and "comet World's Costliest Negligee Advertises Brussels Fair By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (IP) Around Manhattan: The world's costliest negli gee embarked this week on a "tour" of U.S. department and specialty stores to help call attention to the Brussels World Fair.

Anyway, that's one of the lessons a former schoolmarm is giving her newest pupils the 350 stewardesses for Pan American airways. The air line hired Ann Leinbach, of Reading, Pa., to give its host esses lessons in charm and also keep them hep to current events. "Intelligent conversation is the secret ingredient of being beautiful," said Miss Leinbach this week as she went to work. The instructor, whose teaching career has included both grade school and charm school, said today's steward esses should "know what is going on on the world we fly over." ' One Paris shoe designer predicts a long life for the pointed toe and skinny heel in women's footwear. Roger Vivier, designer for 25 years, says no other type of shoe is quite so becoming with either the chemise or trapeze silhou ette. Vivier designs the Dior shoe collection. He came to New York to preview the fall line. He showed the medium height heel, shaped . to look higher, for both daytime and evening. A veteran fashion editor re ports that with her masculine readers, the vote is nine to one against the chemise. Vir ginia Pope of Parade said she invited the men to write in what they thought of the sack New Record Talks Baby To Sleep By JOHN LOWRY United Press Correspondent Hollywood Iff) - Look what's new in getting baby to sleep. A wispy, soft - voiced young lady who has been pre scribing methods for making adults sleepy for several years has put her talents to work in marketing a long-playing re cord that is virtually guaran teed to soothe junior to slum ber. Miss Verta O'Dell's new re cording, "Standin for Sand man" is the end product of study and experimentation in what sounds and words will provoke sleep for a youngster in the 2 to 8-year age bracket. The Sounds There are the friendly tink ling of a music box, a grand father's clock tick-tocking in the background, quiet sounds, the sounds that bring comfort, and Miss O'Dell's persuasive voice: The little fluffy white kit ten whose eyes are bareiy .i - i - ai open . . . tne animais in i barnyard dozing ... a soft, furry puppy dog. . . ." "And So To Sleep," a deep therapy record that has lulled a legion of adults to sleep, was produced by Miss O'Dell in 1955. The record starts with soft orean music and then the soothing voice of Miss O'Dell, backed with prop sounds oi surf and rain, stills the nerves of listeners as she nteraiiy talks them to sleep. You are thinking of a soft, white cloud, floating along in a dreamy fashion and over the quiet countryside to a peace ful valley . . . "this is a time for tranquility ana relaxa tion. . ." Radio Program Miss O'Dell studied at tne Havward Art academy in De troit and the American Acaa- emy of Art in Chicago. At one time she had a radio program Miami, Fla., where she talked midnight listeners to sleep. The success of the pro gram was such that when she signed off an hour later, hard ly any one was listening! She has made many individ ual records for theatrical peo ple, buisness executives and others who work under ten sion. In making these personal ized records she takes the in dividual, in conversation, back to the happiest recalled times of his life. Everyone thinks in terms of pictures and the recording des cribe happy scenes, says Miss O'Dell. silhouette which has taken over the garment industry. In one week, she received 3,000 letters from Maine to Hawaii. "I havn't had such an ava lanche of mail in 40 years in fashion," said Miss Pope. Comments ranged from "absolutely ridiculous" to "hideous" to "somebody goofed." One man wrote "if a fashion makes a woman look like an abandoned silo, she should have sense enough to reject it." Another irate male com mented "makes a potato out of a tomato."

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 27, 193S 7 A Special Breakfast Try this for a breakfast that's really special! Drain canned cling peaches and ar range each half on a medium- thick slice . of ready-to-eat ham.
