A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Orggtm, Sundty, November 1 6, 1 38 Shoe Labeling Measure "Price tags on shoes don't mean a thing" declared Wil ber L. Gardner, Medford shoe repair shop owner, during a talk Wednesday noon at Rogue Valley Country club for Jackson County Cow Eelles. Mr. Gardner is the Medford man who some time ago became so alarmed over the increasingly poor quality of materials in shoes, partic ularly those used for women's and children's shoes, that he launched a campaign to pass a federal act which would force manufacturers to label shoes with the materials used, as many other maufacturers of clothing must do already. "Manufacturers now get away with murder" said the embattled Mr. Gardner some 'J V , Mrs. William Jennings, Central Point, (si left) and Mrs. Clayton Charley, Medford, were two of the members who modeled shoes for a meeting of Jackson County Cow Belles Wednesday at Rogue Valley Country club. Mrs. Jennings Is wearing classic black suede pumps and Mrs. Charley a pair of almost orange leather pumps with toe trimming of black patent leather.' Shoes were provided by Burelson's store. 2 ' TRUDE designed this dress feeling that colors can create fashions. Soft blended trim accentuates the new Empire line and beautiful fufl pleats crown the effect of this fashion creation. In handscreened print on fine faille taffeta. Sizes 5-15. From... Parker Woods' 21 North Central Avenue what grimly. "Children's shoes are ruining the feet of the youngsters who wear them." Since cattlemen are selling the animals which produce hides for shoes, Mr. Gardner is working with the cattle industry in his campaign. He pointed out that many nations already have laws similar to the one he seeks to have pass ed in the United States, and said since nothing has been done in the past to correct the rhoe situation, "I was forced to take this fight to the peo ple." Mr. Gardner stated that he had received cooperation from Congressman Charles Porter, from cattlemen, Grangers, The Medford Mall Tribune, the Na- Discussed tional Foot Health association, the tanners of the nation, Readers' Digest, Consumer's Union and others in his cam paign for shoe labeling. The speaker said that 2,000 petitions asking the Federal Trade commission to back proper legislation, have been sent out and that more than 25,000 names have already been put on t he peitions. The bill, which will be introduced in the coming session of the Congress, was endorsed by the American Cattlemen's associa tion at its last meeting, Mr. Gardner was cited for his ef forts and received a "blue ribbon" made of leather. Mr. Gardner was introduced by Mrs. Robert Fisher. Mrs. Don Nichols, Ashland, presi dent of the group, conducted the meeting and introduced visitors Mrs. Don Bradshaw, Central Point, and Mrs. Fisher had arranged a style show of shoes from Burelson's store, store. Models were Mrs. Brad shaw, Mrs. William Jennings, also Central Point,.Mrs. Clay ton Charley, Medford, a past president of Cow Belles, Mrs. Richard Ireland, Ashland, and Mrs. Armin Richter, Apple gate. The shoes were mainly of the dressy type, of suede, calfskin or of the new highly polished leather in glowing colors which brought excla mations from the women at the luncheon. Mrs. Jennings modeled, among others, a pair of brown shoes of this leather with matching hand bag, and one pair modeled by Mrs. Charley was of purple with bag to match, the shoes having needle-thin heels. Mrs. Bradshaw, in one appearance, modeled a pair of white satin and plastic slippers trimmed with.rhinestones, these being suitable for evening or wed ding wear.
