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

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

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.
The hospitality committee
took charge of the refresh
ments served in the home eco
nomics rooms.

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.

Zonta Club Hears
Delegate Report
On Girls' State
Miss DeWanda Winchell,
Medford High school senior,
spoke Thursday noon to the
Zonta club on "What I got
out of Girl's State." The first
impression was the friendli
ness of everyone, she said.
Miss Winchell reported that
she learned a great deal about
city and county governments.
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

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.
