Poppy Day Workers v Organized A corps of women volun teers to distribute memorial poppies here on Poppy Days, May 23 and 24, is being or ganized by Medford unit Of the American Legion aux iliary under the leadership of Mrs. Merle Jarmin,' poppy chairman. The local corps will be part of an army of volun teers, estimated to number 150,000, which will distribute poppies throughout the nation on Poppy Days. The volunteers will include members of the auxiliary and their juniors. In addition- to distributing the memorial flowers, they will receive con tributions for the welfare, of disabled veterans and needy children of veterans. Poppy day contributions provide a large part of the financial support for the auxiliary's ex ten s i v e rehabilitation and child welfare programs. . "We feel that, our Poppy day volunteers perform a real patriotic service when they make the memorial flowers available to everyone," said Mrs. Jarmin. "Wearing a pop py is a personal salute to those who died defending our country and should remind us all that life itself is not too much to give when Amer ica is in danger. And with the poppy our volunteers offer an opportunity to aid those still suffering from results of war, the disabled and the needy children. - "We are calling upon all auxiliary members who are able to volunteer for Poppy day service and are receiving enthusiastic response. We are also expecting important re inforcements from other or ganizations, especially young women's groups of the city. Wchope to have enough pop py workers to cover all parts of the city and offer poppies to everyone." - U. S. Influence Felt in Kitchen Of Englishwomen Chicago Ml The most powerful American influence on Britan occurs not in diplo matic councils but in the kitchen. , " So savs Gordon Evison, British commercial consul to Chicago. ' "The . average person in Britain no longer makes fun of Americans for their gim mick-fetishes. They want gim micks themselves, ' Gordon said at a recent housewares show. "We're increasingly aware of a need for gadgets, especial ly since domestic help is so hard to get." But, he said, the British still are far behind in the ap pliance and housewares field. Hot water heaters, central heating devices, and refrigera tors are luxury items. "We don't get the sweep ing changes in appliances that you do because we're more conservative with regard to change. We don't replace be longings so rapidly," he added. "In the United States, many items are bought because they are first decorative, then use ful. Not so abroad. It's a lack of kitchen sophistication, caused by less emphasis on keeping up with the Joneses." One American " institution that has not caught on in Brit ain is the supermarket be cause the British housewive shops from day to day and has a vast .appreciation of soci ability. . -' "She doesn't have all these women's clubs," Evison said. "So she's got to have some where to gossip with her friends. You can't do that in a supermarket." Three members of the Colleen Hope Dancers, which will bt a featured attraction of the stage show at the 1958 Medford Home Show, are the Misses Louise Lull, Rosemary Tokar and Sharon Laing, shown (left to right) above in costume for the act. The third annual Home Show opened yesterday at the National Guard Armory and runs through Sunday, May 18. ' 1 . Jtk t .by capri :- v ......

Also in Beige or or Black s We're All Hicks At Heart Says Dude Ranch Operator By GAY PAULEY United Press Woman's Editor New York (IPI Most of us are hicks at heart. That's why all the Westerns on television -and the boom in ' the dude ranch business, says ' Miss Gladys Jaques. Miss Jaques pronounced Jakes a one-time stenog rapher from Brooklyn, is the boss of a 1,000 acre ranch near New Boston, Mass., in the Berkshire mountains. She believes she may be the only woman in the country in sole charge of a dude ranch opera tion.. . - "Most of the ranches are run by husband and wife teams," she said. Miss Jaques is r married to a New York sales executive, but said she is the sole. boss back at the ranch. v ' Cowboys Genuine "I cater to city slickers from the New York and Boston area," she said in' an interview-at the couple's Manhat tan apartment. "But our cow boys are1' genuine; we bring them in from the West. They summer with us and winter in Arizona." I " 'There's -spmething about ranching which appeals to al most everybody," she said. "Look at all those Westerns on television. Parents come and bring their kids and we get a lot of elderly people. About the only exercise they want is . to sit On the front porch and rock." She is affiliated with the Eastern Dude Ranchers asso ciation, which has members in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. "As a kid, I milked cows and rode horseback to school," she said, "so ranching isn't exactly new to me." When she was 15, her father died and the family moved back to Brooklyn. The store had been sold so she became the breadwinner, going to work as a stenographer for what is now the Chase Manhattan bank. As she pounded a typewrit er, she planned how she could return to the- country -.she loved. A dude ranch sounded like the solution. Found Spot After World War II, , she found the spot she wanted an old homestead once , the property of Gilbert Clark, a famous New England watch maker. In 1949, she quit the bank and formally opened "Lost Wilderness" to herself and, she hoped, some guests. A dozen showed up the first summer. Today, the ranch accommo dates as many as 100, is valued at $250,000, and includes stable, corral, swimming pool, cottages in addition to the main house, 35 horses, four full-time cowboys, a Western music band and other assort ed help. - The boss is at the ranch most of the year, but when the : winter weather is too rough or in summer when she wants a break, she comes to town. . , "The change is nice," she said, "I dQn't mind roughing it in the city once in a while." - , v 4 .
