Lasker, one of the wealthiest women in America, works fSll time at one teig job giving her money away. Why does she do it? "You haeys to throw some thing back into the pot," said Mary Lasker, matter-of-factly. "97 mother taught me that She was a civic-minded worn jn ... very public spirited. "It is a natural human trait to want to heto to improve the community you live in, and your country. Each of us, our fates are bound up with all others. And if p get a break through in cancer or heart dis ease, think how much less misery there will be for all. . ." Gives and Works Mrs. Lasker, a handsome blue-eyed woman in her fif ties, is president of the Albert Qand Mary Lasker Foundation, which is dedicated to medical research. Her husband, once a highly-successful advertis ing executive, liquidated his firm in 1942, two yrs ifter their marriagg, Snd joined with her in forming tht foun dation. He died of intestinal cancer in 195?. Since then, Mrs. Lasker has gone it alone steering the foundation's underwriting of pilot projects in research on research on the major illness es, including heart disease, mental illness and cancer. But her work in support of science goes beyond spending money. She is a tireless cam paigner for a better informed public on matters of disease, and a constant needier of the federal government to put more ioney in medical re search. rt'We spend 47 million dol lars for one atomic submar ine," said Mrs. Lasker, in an inrview. "But you know how much a year we allot for research on arteriosclerosis, the number one' circulatory killer? Less than two million. Cites Need for Money "Now don't get me wrong .... we need to spend for .atomic submarines. But not enough of our vast national wealth is going into medical research. . "We are dying of dumb ness. There is so much un investigated disease. And ev eryone in science is aware we have enough leads in cancer and heart disease to knpw we canCfind th cxtre if w get the money." I pointed out to htr that there always would be some ailment to plague mankind. "Of course we all have to die sometime," she replied. "But think of it . . . since 1937, medical science has giv en us an average of nine more years on the life span. That is quite a present of time, isn't it?"

Medford Town send club, Carpenters hall, Republican Women Hear Candidate 'for Congress Paul Geddes, Roseburg at torney who will oppose Charles E. Porter, representa tive in congress from the fourth congressional district, in the coming general elec tion, spoke yesterday for the July meeting of - Jackson County Republican Women in Girls Community club. The speaker said the prime purpose of a representative in congress should be "to serve people at home and not those in some other part of the world." He charged that Con gressman Porter "carries wa ter on both shoulders" and added that he changes his stand pvernight." As examples of his charges, Mr. Geddes stated that Con gressman Porter had failed to work for a reduction in Southern Pacific freight -rates between Oregon and neigh boring states, and added, that had the lowered rate been granted, it would have meant a substantial saving in charges for lumbermen of this district. Mr. Geddes also said that Con gressman Porter had voted for an omnibus farm bill which, had it passed, would have resulted in increased prices to the consumer on milk and wheat products. The candidate also stated that the federal government owns more than 50 per cent of "our land and resources" in southern Oregon and that the type of representation in congress has a considerable effect on the economics of the district. "He (Porter) has more interest in people across the sea than at home," Mr. Geddes declared. Frank Van Dyke, Medford attorney, introduced the can didate.

Piirri driest of the dry . . . made with Smirnoff FT"j f Ylsyh ASSESS Program Needed for New Furs By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (LTD It's getting so you can't tell the fur without a program. Furriers have altered na ture to such an extent that this fall we will be seeing beaver and lamb dyed a fire engine red, beaver aiso tinted a delicate wedgewood blue, and nutria almost orange in hue. These were among the new shades shown this week for visiting reporters covering fall fashions from the. New York couture group. For the first time, the fur industry par ticipated, through its Infor mation and Fashion council. Black Ranks High In addition to all the bold shades, black ranks high for the new season. There are coats of black otter, black Alaska seal, black-dyed squir rel, Persian lamb, and also that siren fur of the Roaring Twenties, black monkey. Genetics has produced so many color changes in mink alone that a woman needs a glossary of terms when she's shopping. Else how will she know that "blue iris" is a na tural blue grey mutation mink "with pale grey underhairs and dark grey stripe down the center of the top hairs." The industry showed 15 mutations, plus Canadian wild mink, white mink, and ranch mink from North America and Scandinavia. Entire Kingdom Virtually the entire fur bearing animal kingdom con tributes to the fashion proces sion this year. Frequently two furs are paired. Otter, sheared beaver, sheared raccoon, sheared nutria, Alaska seal and American , or Russian broadtail coats are collared and cuffed in another fur such as mink, stone' marten, silver fox, lynx, sea otter, sable or chinchilla. One double-breasted river otter, in .its natural shade, has a wide ranch mink collar, of darker brown. Furriers are influenced by some of the silhouettes in fashion there is a trapeze coat of black Persian lamb, for instance. But there are few exaggerations, apparent ly because the industry feels that a fur is b longer range in vestment than say a chemise dress. The show included "all-pur pose coats," designed to go anywhere from a PTA meet ing to the opera. Which prompted one fashion editor to say: "Mink is for football, sable for the supermarket." 4 Zesty Sauce Serve zesty tartare sauce with cracked crab or crisp fried prawns, or as a dress ing on your favorite fish salad. Combine a tablespoon instant minced onion, 2 table spoons white table wine with a cup mayonnaise. Add a gen erous quantity chopped dill pickle and fresh parsley. Let stand several hours to blend flavors. Gingerbread served with peaches in orange" sauce makes a delicious dessert. Combine syrup from Number 2V2 can cling peach halves with Vi tablespoons corn starch, V cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon grated orange rind and cook until thickened. Add peach halves and heat slightly. Anlipasio Salad Try antipasto salad tonight Tastes as good as it looks. On lettuce leaves, arrange slices of canned beets; hardcooked eggs; ripe olives; green onions and canned mushrooms. The dressing? Oil and vinegar. - Horseradish and sour cream make a tangy sauce for canned green beans. Mix 1 tea spoon of the cream-style horseradish with V2 cup of sour cream. Serve on hot, seasoned beans.
