2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforrJ, Oregon, Monday, Ocfober 27. 1938 Reporter Says Hong Kong Paradise for Shoppers By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Hong Kong - (IPU - This British crown colony should be renamed the bargain base ment of the Orient. It is such a shopper's heaven that even vicuna coats are comparative ly cheap. How the myriads of shop keepers manage such low' prices in Victoria, the city on the island, and in Kowloon, across the harbor on the main land, is a mystery to me. But countless items from clothing to cameras cost far less than they do in the country where they're made. One thing which helps is the saving on duty Hang Kong, like Shannon, Ire land, is a free port. And don't think the U. S. tourists aren't listening to the guide books which say "Your dollar buys more here than in any other part of the world." They're shopping as if they may never pass this way again; and then playing the game of comparing "finds" with other tourists, once they're back at their hotels." I crossed shopping paths with one American business man I'd met on a Japan Air Lines flight into Hong Kong. He was carrying a handsome overcoat of vicuna, a material First Lady Heads List New York-dTD-Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower was named to day as the best-dressed wom an in public life by the Fash ion Foundation of America. The foundation, one of sev eral organizations that issue a '"best dressed" list each year, said the First Lady "se lects clothes which best bring o.ut her natural charm. They said her choice of costume "stimulates high interest in American, designed fashions and serves as an inspiration to young designers." Other names on the list, ac cording to category, included: Ambassador of fashion-Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, former ambassador to Italy. . Society - Mrs. William Pa ley, wife of CBS board chair man William S. Paley and one of the famed Cushing sisters of Boston. Debutante - Eileen Kingsbury-Smith, a New York deb of the current season. Stage-Cornelia Otis Skin ner, now appearing in "The Pleasure of His Company" on Broadway. . Television - Dorothy Kilgal len and Arlene Francis of What's My Line." . Screen - Ingrid Bergman. Glaze For Ham . For ham glaze mix Vz cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard and 1 can of cran berry sauce. Spread the glaze over a baked ham and place in a gas oven heated to 400 degrees. Bake until the sur face is shiny. Occasionally spoon up glaze to cover spots that have not browned. For canned ham, heat the ham in a slow oven (325 degrees) 10 minutes for every pound. Then rase the temperature to 400 degrees for glazing. Jobs and Payrolls No. 1 Issue r i -t jHt f jsov I a -i -it" -1 E&vVR I"' ' v J i "A' V' (! -i - 111 I V r I Instead of speeches, Junkets and press releases, MARK HATFIELD has a program of action to create more jobs and business opportunities in Oregon. Mark Hatfield says, "We must create a business climate that will encourage industrial expansion and new industry; assure a stable tax program competitive with other states; encourage better labor-management . relations." , Pd. Pol. Ad by Hatfield for Governor Committee of Jackson Co. -Kathleen Bash, Chmn., Bundy St., Medford which was pretty well publi cized through the Sherman Adams case. "Got it for less than S200 U. S. dollars," he said happily. "Back home, it'd cost me S600 or S700." Three Hitches The U. S. dollar is worth $5.80 Hong Kong dollars. There are three hitches to happy shopping here - minor ones, but worth remembering. One, know quality in fab rics, jewelry, knick-knacks and furniture. Otherwise, it's easy to get "took"; plenty of second-rate goods are pouring into the city. Two, make sure the shop keeper can provide a point-of-origin certificate. Otherwise you'll have trouble getting your purchases home. The U. S. Treasury Department prohibits bringing in merchan dise originating in China or North Korea. Three, plan to haggle on price. The first quoted is only the beginning in most shops although some of the older, established stores stick to the original. . Many Bargains "Special price for you be cause you're my first custom er," was the' greeting I re ceived from numerous shops on a morning of making the rounds. Bargains include tweeds and worsteds from the British Isles; silks from Italy and Japan; rich brocades either from Japan or Hong Kong; leather goods, from billfolds to luggage; all kinds of jew elry including watches, jade and cultured pearls; linens, laces, photographic supplies and handmade shoes. And the tailors - so num erous already I wonder how any new ones can find space to set up shop will copy virtually any garment for you. Bring your own pattern or sketch, or wear in the costume you want in another material. Speed goes with the bargain. Tailors will do a suit with one fitting in 24 hours. $22 Suits I. talked with tourists who had paid $50 and $60 U. S. dollars for men's suits, but I found them offered also for $28. One shop offered to make me a fully-lined suit either in worsted or heavy silk for $22. A mandarin-style brocade jacket, also lined,, would cost S7. Brocade by the yard cost from 90 cents to $1. A twin sweater set of Scottish cashmere-cardigan and pullover cost from $16 to $18, about half the price in the states. I found a lamb's wool cardigan for $5. And one tailor offered to make me a skirt in any ma terial in the house for $7. A leathergoods shop showed me four pieces of matched lug gage for 543, including canvas covers. But comparing prices later, I talked to one tourist who had bought a three-piece set for $14, with covers. . Inflation hasn't hit the col ony yet; some residents say goods even are getting a little cheaper as competition gets keener. The shopkeepers are so anxious to sell, they prac tically haul you in from the street as you window-brouse. Once inside, first thing they do is offer you a chair. If you sit down, you're done.

Panel Discusses Youth Problems For Valley PTA I Cave Junction-Dr. William J. Moore, John Watereau of Grants Pass and the Rev. Gene Denning of Cave Junc tion led a panel discussion on teenage problems before a record attendance at an Illi nois Valley Parent - Teacher association meeting held in the high school October 23. Judge Orval Millard, also scheduled for the evening, was unable to attend. Each of the panel members spoke at length on different phases of the problems con fronting parents and teen agers, outlining causes which are contributing factors in creating juvenile delinquen cy. The importance of the physical and mental health of the youngsters was stressed by Dr. Moore, declaring that some mental disturbances can be traced to the- common acne, a skin irritation experi enced by most young people. The Rev. Mr. Denning em phasized the need for paren tal participation in the spiri tual guidance of their chil dren. The state law charging parents and guardians with their lawful responsibility for the care and guidance of their children and wards was related by Mr. Wattereau Open discussion followed the individual speeches. Due to the length of the program, Mrs. Alton Sowell, PTA president, announced the proposed change over to parent-teacher and student asso ciation will be placed on a ballot to be brought before the assembly at the Novem ber meeting Thursday, No vember 20. A date change is due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The minstrel show, "Geor gia Jubilee" will be given two consecutive nightly perform ances December 5 and 6. It will be the first performance held on the new stage. The proceeds will support the an nual PTA scholarship pro gram and the balance will be applied on the purchase of a curtain for the stage. The program for the next meeting will be in charge of Howard Walton's speech classes in honor of American Education week.

President Voices Support Of UNICEF and Activities Washington, D.C.-President Eisenhower paid special trib ute to UNICEF, the United Nations Children's fund, and to citizen groups supporting its work, in a recent letter addressed to Mrs. Guido Pan taleoni Jr., 'president of the U.S. committee for UNICEF. The president reaffirmed the U.S. government's sup port of the humanitarian goals of UNICEF and further stat ed: "The efforts of UNICEF, together with other United Nations agencies striving to achieve the improvement of mankind's social and econom ic conditions, add strength to the foundations of peace." In referring to the work of the U. S. Committee for UNICEF, President Eisenhow er expressed his appreciation of the work of that group in promoting "UNICEF'S record of service on behalf of 'all the world's children.'" The co operation of civic and reli gious groups toward that end was given special mention in the President's statement. This message issued by the White House in the days so closely preceding Halloween takes on special meaning for the more than 8,500 commu nities across the country where October 31 means "UNICEF day." To the more than two million American children who will share their Halloween with sick and hun gry children by sending their "treats',' of coins to UNICEF, the President's message has particular import. These boys and girls are sharing their typical American holiday so that less fortunate youngsters in more than 100 countries Youth Prospects Evaluated By Three Students The practice of sending rep resentatives to Girl's State and Boy's State should be con tinued and extended. This was the conclusion of this year's representatives " in reports given to St. Mary's High School Parents' club Wednes day evening. . The business meeting, held in the Activities room of the school, was followed by a so cial hour. Refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Doyle, acting for the Sopho more A group with Mrs. Al J Carrara, chairman. Miss Sharon Roberts, daughter Of Mr. and Mrs Lloyd O. Roberts, gave a con densed version of each day's activities of Girl's State. Miss Roberts was elected one of three county delegates while there. In evaluating her expe riences, she said that one must participate in govern ment, not just study it, in or der to appreciate its meaning, Robert Farra, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Farra, ap proached his report of Boy's State with humor. A vein of serious thought was brought out when he spoke of his courses in American Govern ment, Great American Per sonahties and America as a World Power. This report was supple mented by Marvin Frazier, son of Mr. 'and Mrs. O. E. Frazier. Speeches by Gover nor Robert Holmes and Sec retary of State Mark Hat field "were highlights of the week, according to young Frazier. Boy's State is not only worthwhile but fun, he concluded. The last student also de scribed the Student Council workshop he attended this summer at the University of Oregon in Eugene. He listed as results of his attendance an evaluation committee com posed of students and faculty members, and definite, clari fied aims and objectives for the Student Council. He hopes that not only was he benefit ed but that the school will be benefited also. The proposal to support and extend the High school library, made by Jay J. El liot, ways and means chair man, was . adopted by the group.

Then she told of some of the fun activities and also de scribed the impressive can dlelight service held in the capitol building rotunda. Miss Winchell concluded by saying that it would be wonderful if there could be an international meeting of young people patterned after Girl's State, possibly pattern ed after United Nations. Zonta club sends a girl each year to Girl's State as one of it's service projects; Miss Winchell was sponsored this year by the local club. Mrs. Eloise Winklebleck, j vice-president, reported that the club's two delegates, Mrs. Bonnie Wilson, president, and Mrs. Irean Grigsby left Wed nesday by car to attend the District VIH conference of Zonta International held Fri day,' Saturday and Sunday in Boise, Idaho. . Oven Dinner If you are roasting a ham, turkey or. beef roast in a 325 degree oven, make the most of the heat and space by tuck ing in the rest of the dinner. Whole beets, carrots and po tatoes can be cooked at that temperature. Bread pudding, Indian pudding, rice pudding and fruits such as apples, peaches and pears also cook nicely in a low oven. Breads and other foods requiring higher temperatures can be added after the roast is re moved. The overt can then be turned up to 400 degrees for fast, last minute browning of breads, or heating of desserts. ONE OF THESE SMART SACONY FALL SUITS IS BRAND-NEW . . .
