Newspaper Page Text2 MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Ore. Red Cross Canteen Workers Guests at Chapter Luncheon Members of the Canteen corps of Jackson County Red Cross chapter were honored at a luncheon given by other .chapter workers and members at the Red Cross building yesterday afternoon. The luncheon was a "turn aoout" party since it is the Canteen corps which customarily cooks and serves luncheons for the chapter functions. . Manville Heisel, chapter chairman, opened the pro gram by praising the corps members for their work, both for routine chapter events and in time of emergency. Mrs. E. A. Littrell, chair man of volunteer services for the chapter, presented red service bars to workers who had been with the corps for a year or more. Mrs. Grace Fiero is chairman, and Mrs. Eoy Rickard, co-chairman. Mrs. Fiero said that the 26 members of the group had giv en more than 1,634 hours of volunteer service during the past year. They served 12 luncheons, have provided sandwiches and cookies dur ing the visits of the bloodmo bile and have provided cook ies for functions at Camp White. The chairman spoke of the food provided for searchers who were called out last sum mer when a Shady Cove wom an was lots in the forest. At the height of the emergency, food and coffee for more than 100 searchers was provided by the Red Cross. She named her committee chairman and praised them for efficient ser vice during the past year. Others who spoke briefly were Eugene Thorndike, a past chairman; Mrs. Alfred S. V. Carpenter, long-time Red Cross worker and a past chairman of volunteer ser vices, and Mrs. Frank Fair weather, and area represen tative in this district. Mrs. Fairweather said that during her visits to other chapters as a consultant she had discovered that most can teen corps are "on paper only." She said the Jackson county chapter is considered one of the most outstanding in the Pacific coast area, and in her opinion, having an active and working canteen corps was part of its strength. Mrs. Fiero and others stres sed that one reason the Jack son County corps is able to operate so efficently during emergencies is because the members are actually working together each month and are not just organized "on paper."

HOME APPLIANCE CO. 115 East Main, Medford Orchestra Plans Expansion of Winter Concerts Portland The Portland Symphony orchestra will in augurate a new expansion of its service on Wednesday, No vember 5th, by playing a re peat concert in the Oriental Theatre, featuring Byron Jan is, famed young American pianist. Hitherto the concerts have been limited to the Public Auditorium, Symphony offi cials explained, and the large number of season tickets sold in advance make it difficult for the single ticket buyer to obtain choice seats. By playing "Eastside En cores" during the regular subscription season, the Port land Symphony hopes to make concert music available to a much larger share of the Ore gon population. Byron Janis appeared with the orchestra last season also, and was the subject of much favorable comment. This year he will play Tschaikowsky's brilliant "Piano Concerto No. 1" at both Portland concerts. The orchestral program at the Auditorium and the Oriental will be identical . Mozart's Overture to "Cosi Fan Tutte," and the Shostakovich "Sym phony No. 8. Tickets for both concerts will go on sale Thursday, October 30, at J. K. Gill's, and the Oriental Box office will be open November 4 and 5 for tickets to the "Eastside Encore."

IRWIN United Press International Chicago -(EPS- The Ameri can woman, has proved, in what was once a man's world, that she knows what's what. The proof is in the very first Who's Who of American Women," which will b pub lished Oct. 31. It was compiled by the edi tors of Marquis-Who's Who, Inc., the firm which for 60 years has been putting- to gether "Who's Who in Ameri ca." The book lists about 19,000 of the 54,000,000 women of voting age in the country. Wheeler Sammons, Jr., the intrepid male publisher, said they are "women outstanding as women" and not necessarily women who stand out from "both their sisters and broth ers." But from "A" to "Z" the new 1,200 page volume spells this dominant theme: the Am erican woman has made a name for herself in scores of fields once almost the exclu sive province of men. There are listed, for exam ple, 135 woman bank presi dents and at least 240 com posers. There are advertising executives, TV announcers, radar scientists, biochemists, textile consultants, editors and diplomats. An accompanying voca tional - geographical index classifies the 19,000 listees under 35 different vocational headings. But James M. Eth rldge, director of research, pointed out that many of these groups included several sub lines of endeavor. The "social scientists," for example, include anthropolo gists, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists, psychologists and sociologists. Listed are such women as: T-Helen Louise Booth, first and only woman to be execu tive secretary of the New York Board of Trade. -Mrs. Theresa Brungardt of Montpelier, Vt., only woman state director of recreation. -Corinne Lasater Duker of Pauls Valley, Okla., first woman director of the Farm Credit Administration. -Elinor Mullett Husselman of Ann Arbor, Mich., a papy rologist (and the only one listed in the book, the editors believe). -Lorrain Calverton D'Essen of New York, who casts and rehearses animals for films and TV. Imogen G. Baird of Honolu lu was the first woman in terior decorator to do a sub marine; Ruth Adele Freeman of Massapaqua, N. Y., was the only woman to give a. flute concert at Town Hall; 0 and Mrs. Arthur Joseph, a woman lawyer, was the guest of hon or - and only woman invited - at a bachelor dinner given by the Essex County, N. J., Bar Association. Sammons decreed at the start that women wouldn't be barred if they refused to pro vide birth dates. He found most women "surprisingly frank" (only about 5,300 hedged on the matter). One such woman explained: "Nobody wants to stretch the truth, but, if one is over forty today there is no "place for a salaried person." Sammons said he found women "more modest than men about listing details of their careers" and in many instances had difficulty get ting the gals to own up to the very accomplishments for which the editors wanted to include them. Another problem was keep Hawaiian Fashions Said Tamer Than Reputations By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Honolulu -OJPD- Hawaiian fashions are tamer than their reputations. "The whole mainland thinks of us in terms of those wild Aloha shirts," said Rob ert F. Gaffney, president of the Hawaiian Fashion guild. "But the real Hawaiian is what we're selling." The "real" Hawaiian stuff features its share of bold pineapple and palm tree prints, especially during Alo ha Week, the annual festival celebrated throughout the islands last week. But Gaffney said demands from style-conscious women in the United States are help ing to tame both colors and designs of sports and resort fashions. "Haole," says the . manu facturers, when they talk of mainlanders' preference for subdued hues and prints. Sales on Increase More than half of the fash ion industry's annual sales now.are export, Gaffney said. And the guild, with a mem bership of 21 out of the 50 island manufacturers, hopes to increase that total rapidly. It is looking to an annual gross of $100 million 20 years hence which would put fashion right up there with sugar, pineapple and tourists as leading industries. This year, Gaffney said, clothing sales, at wholesale, are ex pected to reach $11 million, more than double the figure of four years ago when the guild was organized "We're trying to do some thing besides clothes for Coney Island, and still keep the authentic Hawaiian fla vor the women want," said Gaffney. Gaffney, a . com mander in the naval reserve, and his wife, who helps with designs, run the only chil dren's clothing firm in the islands. ' I saw resort collections of several manufacturers ' and found three major style influ ences: the Far East, Paris and New York and the home grown, is typified by the muumuu. Native dress from the whole Pacific basin inspire such popular clothes as the simple sheath dress with slit skirt, adapted from Chinese dress in Hong Kong; the sari of India; the sarong of Java; the banker's coat of China; the pa jama, kimono, judo jacket and happi coat, a short, loose-fitting peasant coat of Japan. Bio Hit Currently the biggest hit here is the "tea?timer," a tunic-like dress with deep slits at the sides, worn over skinny pants. Both are street length, and some Honolulu women wear the tea-timers on the street, although it is sold mostly for lounge wear. One of the first to make the tea-timer was Nani sports wear, and President F.

Gaffney's firm has adapted it even for toddlers lining the under pants with protective plastic. For some silhouettes, the Hawaiian manufacturers have looked to the West-the che mise and over-blouse fash ions both are going strong. And the feminine demand that figure should show even has caused less voluminous versions of the muumuu, that super-sack native to the islands. Now, manufacturers are making the holomuu, fitted sheath-like to just below the knees. The rest of the way to the floor is flounce.

Hats of Long Ago Influence Fashions In France, in the early years of the Nineteenth Cen tury, hats dominated the cos tume silhouette. Slim, high waisted dresses, falling in soft folds, were topped with poke bonnets with high, arched brims and tall crowns. Hats went higher and higher, ad orned with flowers, ribbons and plumes, until by 1813, ladies hats had become so tall that they were compelled to hold them on their knees when riding in a carriage. The newest clothes of 1958 are also derived from the same high-waisted costumes worn by the ladies of Na poleon's court. Hats, too, are influenced by the poke bonnet and other tall - crowned styles worn in that era. But today's Empire bonnets are of softly draped velvets, fluffy furs, delicate plumage, recalling the elegance of an earlier day.
