From their small laboratory-factory in this city's warehouse district near the Hudson river, Sol and Mar guerite Goodman, both grad uate chemists, are turning out the phony flutterers at the rate of five ounces a day. Doesn't sound like a lot of eyelash, until the couple ex plains there are about two thousand pairs to the ounce. In other words production is about 10,000 pairs daily. Fake eyelashes have been around many years, Goodman said, but were "pretty much of a do-it-yourself project un til the 1920's. The United States has issued only half a dozen patents on artificial lashes since 1911." One Piece He said most of the. fake lashes worn by models and actresses were of real Jiair, attached to an adhesive base which joined the lid. The Goodmans, who hold a 1958 patent on their product, said theirs is the only one in which both lash and base are of the same material and in one piece. Basically the lashes, which are .sold through drug and department stores, are made from strips of a plastic film of the polyester type. They are permanently curled, just as some synthetic fibers are permanently pleated, and are tinted brown or black with a cosmetic pigment. The narrow strip to which the lash joins serves as a built in eye shadow and comes in turquoise, agate, natural, jade, amethyst, and azure blue. All a girl does is attach the strip to the upper lid with a lanolin-based adhesive. HEADED FOR SUCCESS This teen-age biologist is set for a great future as a smartly dressed young man. He shows his good taste with this hand some rust and gray stripe wool sports coat and gray wool flannel slacks. CALENDAR Friday: 6:30 p.m.-Pocahontas lodge, Redman hall. Each lash is six tenths of an inch long, but only five ten-thousandths of an inch thick. Each lash has 125 strands or "hairs," and with a pair on, the total of 250 makes1 for quite an effect. "If the wearer thinks they are too long, all she has to do is get out the scissors and trim," said Goodman. "The lashes come off and on as eas ily as, well, as you take out your false teeth." How about safety of the syn thetic? Goodman said the lash es are less flammable than hu man hair and there is no dan ger from lighting a cigarette. Background In Chemistry Goodman, a native New Yorker, was a consulting chemist and his wife, who comes from Seattle, worked with a textile firm before they launched the lashes. "We'd been wanting to get into some business of our own," Goodman said. "And since Marguerite made all her cosmetics, this seemed a nat ural field." The couple, who are in their late 30's and have three children, said they settled on lashes when they found how little had been done with them, and how large the mar ket potential.' Goodman said he found one anthropologist's study which showed that 90 per cent of people under 16 have long, curled lashes; but less than 20 per cent of the population retains the curl after the age of 35. "It took us several years of evenings and weekends of ex periment before we got the product we wanted," said Mrs. Goodman. "The sales are go ing very well . . . but we don't own any foreign sports cars yet."

San Franciscan Visits Festival, Medford Library An . enthusiastic and inter esting visitor to Medford and Ashland this week was Miss Anne Rand, ' librarian of the Longshoreman's and Ware houseman's Union, San Fran cisco. Miss Rand came to this vicinity especially to attend the Shakespearean Festival but also found opportunity to visit Jacksonville and Crater lake while she was here and to spend much of a day in the Medford Public library, head quarters of the Jackson Coun ty library. Miss Rand was born in Aus tria. Although her father was both rabbi and cantor of the small village in which the family lived, and the men of the family were all educated to be scholars, the women, she says, were given no education whatsoever.-After her father moved to Palestine in his old age so that he could be buried in a holy place, some members of the family came to the United States. Hers in this country Ann Rand managed to learn a little English and to read and write, but at tha age of 14 she had to leave school to go to work in factories. When she was 33, she real ized that she wanted a college education more than anything else in the world; and still working in factories, she at tended high school for only six months. Her extensive reading had given her such an educational background that she was then able to pass the regents' examination and en ter Hunter college. Without giving up her factory work, she obtained her bachelor's degree and then a graduate degree in librarianship at Co lumbia university, which she followed by obtaining another degree at the University of California School of Librar ianship. During the later years o fher studies she exchanged factory work for work in col lege and university libraries. Miss Rand, who has visited Shakespearean theaters i n Connecticut and in San Diego, expressed especial delight in the performances she wit nessed at Ashland. She also took great pleasure 'in the greenness of the valley's coun tryside and in the friendliness of the people she encountered here. She expressed a deter mination to make repeated visits to the festival, and plans to present a book to the Jack son County library as a me mento of her visit. Daughters Plan Coming Activities Elta Deuel Hubbs tent, Daughters of Union Veterans, held the. first meeting since the summer, vacation August 26 in the county courthouse auditorium. Plans were jnade for coming activities. Tent members will sew for veterans at Camp White one day a month, and this session will be the first Thursday. The first meeting will be September 4, with the place to be anonunced later. Letters of thanks from the camp managers for the sewing done last year were read. Miss Joan Guyer and Mrs. Elmer Gott were appointed department aides. Tent members attended two funerals at Camp White dur ing July. It was announced that the department press correspon dent will visit the next meet ing, and that the charter will be draped in memory of a recently deceased member. The session will be held Sep tember 9. f AM A President Sounds Warning on Fad Diets By PATRICIA GRAY UPI Correspondent Washington (UPD Ameri cans have their greatest chance in this "age of the frozen pot pie" to achieve a balanced diet, says a noted physician. In a speech before a na tional food conference here, Dr. David B. Allman, presi dent of the American Medical association, warned of the tendency of Americans, the best-fed people on earth, to ward food f addism and quack ery. Proper nutrition along with immunization and the discovery of cures for cancer and heart disease will be the goal of medical science for the remainder of this century, he said. t "I personally -believe that there is no better therapy to day," said Dr. Allman, "than a well-balanced diet." While recognizing that "good nutri tion is not the panacea for all of man's bodily ills," he add ed," " 'man is what he eats'." Greatest Chance He noted that dietary defic iencies which, caused rickets and pellagra ' as late as the early 1900s, are things of the past, because of discoveries about vitamin D and niacin. Today Americans have the "greatest chance in history to have a satisfactory diet," said Dr. Allman, because: (1) ex perience has shown us what foods we must eat for a well balanced diet; (2) unprece dented abundance of all the foods we need in many forms facilitates procurement of the right nutrients; (3) most Amer icans have enough money to buy ordinary foods necessary for balanced nutrition. In spite of all this plenty, however or perhaps because of it there are an estimated 10 million Americans "cur rently influenced by nutrition quacks." Dr. Allman said. "Unfortunately," he added, "many persons seeking nu tritional facts often listen to the fellow who makes the greatest noise. And the pseudo-scientific faddist has never been known to be a quiet salesman." He added, however, that the federal food and drug admin istration in cooperation with the AMA is conducting a pub lic education campaign on the dangers of fraud in food. Waistlines - False or misleading food advertising was another prob lem Allman called to the at tention of the conference. He NO IRONING - ticket for travel is this white cotton dress shirt with'a per manent finish that requires no ironing and one-piece soft collar that won't wrinkle. Van Heusen's "Vantage.". -Just the J5 MIDFOR said in general food advertis ing is good, particularly in the baby food and canned food in dustries. However, producers of certain other types tend to "exaggerate a little, imply a little more, use ' ambiguous phrases, and hope that the reader will not look closely enough to see the loopholes." he said. Touching on the subject -of our waistlines, he said that an estimated 20 per cent of the American population is over weight. The physician stressed that obesity is not a laughing mat ter, because: (1) obese sons have a higher suscepti- niiny to certain diseases than other DeoDle: (2) surzerv. nar. ticularly of the abdominal va riety, is more complicated; (3) the obese persons takes anes thetic very poorly; (4) post operative complications such as hernia and wound infec tion are far more frequent in the case of an over-weight person: (5) convalescent i often not as satisfactory as it snouia oe. Kits Designed To Aid Blind Denver - (UPD Plastic kits designed to help blind per sons "see" are being manufac tured by a Polish couple who have been in the U. S. a little more than a year.
