ed for this occasion by Mrs.
Earl Moore, centered the no
ble grand's station. Gold and
green tapers and three golden
" links representing sunshine
and the golden promise of

for her emblem of the year
to encourage closer coopera
tion and better understand
ing among all branches of
the order.

hind the noble grand's sta
tion. The appropriate wall

time to do the important
things and to . help others
more often.

appreciation for the unusual
gift presented to her by Mrs.
George Dorman on behalf of

green and gold, to create a
Greek design on a white
background. '

Year's Battiest Beauty
Fad - Plastic Eyelashes
By GAY PAULEY
(UPI) Women's Editor
New York (UPD A young
New York couple has started
the battiest beauty fad of the
year plastic eyelashes.
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.

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

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)
