At Giving Away Money
By GAY F1UL1T
UPI Women's tiii
New York UPI Mrs. Al
bert D. 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?"

As a memorial to her moth

giant floral planting project
in public places around New
York, and in the traffic
islands along Park Avenue
"a touch of lipstick for the
city," she called it.
Now the city fathers have
taken over the plantings, and
that is way Mrs. Lasker wants
it. "The private citizen should

"But beauty is just good busi

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. Miss Susan Baker, one of
the delegates to the 1958

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."

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

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.
