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."
Mr. Heisel remarked that

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."
Halloween Dance Set
At YMCA Friday Night
A Halloween dance for high
school and junior high youth
will be held at the Young
Men's Christian association
Friday, Oct. 31, between 8:30
and 11:45 p.m.
The dance is sponsored by
the YMCA Youth Council,
which is composed of YMCA
members and holds regular
meetings to determine, plan
and promote activities for
youth. An adult commitee is
related to this program and is
under the direction of Chris
Hutton.
Treats will be furnished
those at the dance Friday. Be
cause of the expected crowd,
the social hall and gymnasium
will be used for dancing. The
gym part of the event will be
a sockhop.
Four adult couples will
chaperone the dance.

Strictly Feminine "Who's Who"
Proves What Men Had Feared
By EVERETT R. 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. Rob

idea from a picture of Sia

firm has adapted it even for

For some silhouettes, the
Hawaiian manufacturers have
looked to the West-the che

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.
Chicken Liver Treat
New York-flJPfl-For a com
pany dinner try these chicken
liver, rolls. Fry pound of
bacon until crisp. Saute 1
pound of chicken livers in 4
tablespoons of butter or mar
garine until just cooked
