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. '

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."
