For the first time in its 73 - year - history, society's "Who's Who" has dropped a member of the socially su preme Whitney clan without being requested to do so. The 1959 register, just off the presses, gave the gate to Cor nelius Vanderbilt Whitney. The Register's mysterious "advisory committee" appar ently bounced the mining ty coon turned film producer be cause he divorced his second wife to marry Mrs. Mary Hos ford, a divorcee he met when she was playing a role in one of his movies. Whitney's cousin, U.S. Am bassador to Britain John Hay Whitney, asked the register to discontinue his listing several years ago because he felt it was undemocratic. But the Whitney cousinship still makes up a sizeable bloc in the little black volume, com pared to the three Astor list ings and three Vanderbilt list ings that have managed to survive divorce, scandal and other Social Register buga boos. There was many a shock in the register for sensitive socialites. Barbara Hutton ap parently gave the kiss of death to the listing of young author Philip Van Rensselaer, descendant of one of New York's oldest Dutch clans. Barbara, who was dropped years ago, travelled all over Europe and Mexico last year with Philip, and it was wide ly reported that they were thinking of marriage despite the fact that he was 20 years her junior. Rosemary Warburton, who has been vying with Mrs. Thomas Bancroft Jr. for the title of No. 1 New York host ess, failed to get back into the register by marrying one of its listees, poet Hugh Chisholm Jr., scion of a Maine Women's Group Contributes Fund For CARE Project Cave Junction Illinois Val ley Federated Women's club held the annual food sale Sat urday to raise funds for CARE principal project of the Ore gon Federated Women's clubs Last summer at the 43rd an nual convention, the Illinois Valley club won honorable mention for being among the top 10 clubs contributing the most money to the state fund for CARE.

The register dropped Chis holm, although Rosemary was once listed in its pages as Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt's daughter.

Furs Resfyled Frances' Furs 6!0 Valley View SP 2-6526 Furs Renewed Meeting Changed By Parents' Club Not many couples celebrate their wedding anniversary by attending a PTA meeting, but Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Fagone did. Mrs. Fagone is president of Lincoln Parent-Teacher associa tion, and her husband is a past president. When their 15th wedding anniversary came on the same night as a PTA meet ing, Mrs. Fagone sighed and said she didn't feel she could skip the meeting. Mr. F. made plans. When the business meeting had con cluded Mr. Fagone rose and formally asked permission of the chairman (his wife) to make a few remarks. A bit mysti fied, she granted the request. Mr. Fagone went to the front of the room, and standing beside his wife, explained that it was their wedding anniversary and that he had a surprise for her. He unveiled a cake which was inscribed "For Dopey (his pet name for Mrs. Fagone) Wife-Mother-President." John Lusk played Anniversary Waltz, the cake was served and everyone was happy. Mrs. F. confesses "I could have wrung his neck but I loved every minute of it." The Fagones really had two anniversary cakes, because their daughters, Toni (short for Antoinietta) and Patty Ann, had baked a cake for their parents. The Fagones also have an older son, Sammy, who is 14. Mrs. Fagone says she has a deep attachment for Lincoln school. She attended school there as a child, all three of her children attended Lincoln, and both parents have, been Lin coln PTA presidents. When she was Helen Smedley, Mrs. F. lived with her family on Pine street and early in her mar riage, Helen begged her husband to move back to Pine street because of sentimental reasons, and so they did. Mr. Fagone, originally . from New York, is known to everyone as Benny, but his real name is Sebastiano. For years Mr. F. still thought of himself as a New Yorker, but now he knows he's an Oregonian, just like Helen. Potpourri called Mrs. Fagone to say that a friend had tele phoned and wondered if there would be a story in the fact that Mrs. Fagone, and other residents of the area, were en gaged in counting cars for the state highway department. Time went by on wings, and by the time we got around to calling Mrs. Fagone, the car-counting was completed. Mrs. F. wasn't quite sure what the car census is all about, but said it had been an interesting experience. "The car coun ters made notes (she had been on the night shift) on the type of cars, what the load was if the car was a truck, the direc tion and other facts. "I wish you'd call some one and find out what it was all about so I'd know what I was doing it for," said Mrs. Fa gone. She added that her interesting experiences had includ ed being frightened to death all one night after hearing stories about an "abominable forest man" roaming around in the area to which she was assigned, and having worried people come to check and see if she was in trouble, since the car was parked in one spot for so long. One 'school boy, noticing the- car and solitary woman, sent his mother back to find out if she needed help. A note which came last week from Mrs. Albert Prevot was filled with news about the Prevot's new daughter, and about a trip to France last summer to visit Mr. Prevot's fam ily. Mrs. Prevot, the former Susan Inskeep of Medford, wrote "I'm sure you have heard the wonderful news we have a daughter, born in Greenville, Miss., October 18. She is a beautiful child with titian hair - and it is curly. Her name is Suzanne-Helene. It is to be hyphenated, as is very often the custom in France. Suzanne is the French version of my name and Helene is the name of her paternal great-grand mother. "Our trip to Europe last summer was such fun. During the five months that we spent there, Jules (the Prevot's son) learned to speak French perfectly and during the month of October attended a boys' school in Paris, the cours St. Louis, with, of course, all the classes in French. I attended classes, too, at the Cordon Bleu - and Alfred Lunt was one of my classmates! I do hope that on our next trip to Medford, we can talk about all the interesting events that have happened." When pappy heard about the men of the news room growing beards, he inquired, innocently, "Is it a part of the Tribune campaign to Make Medford Beautiful?" O.S.
