Maria Callas Sings
At Carnegie Hall
New York -IUPD- Maria Cal
las made a so-so operatic
comeback at Carnegie hall
Tuesday night but celebrity
and socialite fans gave her a
welcome worthy of a queen
Mme. Callas looked stun-
I ning in a slim white Italian
- gown with a rose satin stole.
She was in fairly good voice
- and had the support of a
; strong cast. She had an audi
; ence that believed she could
do no wrong. All she needed
was an opera house.
But without the Metropoli
. tan Opera stage at her dispos-
; al, Mme. Callas had to make
2 do in a concert version of op
Z era - without costumes, stage
sets, or real action except for
a lew gestures, inis can reauy
hold a diva of Mme. Callas'
: dramatic talents down. ,
I Nearly 3,000 Callas - wor
- shippers heard their idol for
the first time locally since the
- Met's Rudolf Bing locked her
out for breach of contract last
! year. Bing was not among
1 those paying $25 a ticket , to
'. hear Callas' first appearance
! with the American Opera so
Z ciety.
2 Almost no one present was
familiar with the opera, Bel-
lini's "The Pirate," because it
; hasn't been performed in the
i United States since the 1840's.

Meat Consumption
Has Direct Ratio
To Income Level
Washington-fDPU-Total meat
consumption is tied to family
income level, according to
. the Agriculture Department's
Marketing service.
- "The more they earned, the
more they ate-and the more
; they spent for it," said the de
. partment, reporting on a sur
vey of meat-buying habits of
families.
No matter what the income
" most families, especially city
; folks, tend to eat compara-
tively less pork than beef.
Lots of lamb on the menu

brings home much bacon-the

Westward Ho
Theme of Show
Cave Junction - "Westward
Ho" is to be the Centennial
theme for the annual flower
show sponsored by the Illi
nois Valley Garden club. The
show is scheduled for June
13, according to plans laid at
the January meeting of the
club held last Friday in Im-
manuel M e t hodist church.
Mrs. John Smith and Mrs.
James Payne were named co-
chairmen for the event.
Jack Frost, Wilderville,
lectured for the group on the
cultural aspects of orchid
growing. There are 16.000
species of the plant, according
to Frost, and they grow in
any climate except the Arctic
regions and the Sahara desert.
Colored slides taken from or
chid shows in California and
from Frost's own range in
Wilderville accompanied the
lecture.
Arrangements to continue
the landscaping program for
the high school grounds were
made. Plans for the project
include the removal of some
of the older plants and the
plotting of new replacements.
The work is scheduled to start
as soon as weather conditions
permit.
Mrs. Lester Basham with
Mrs. Charles Versteeg, Mrs.
Clay Ramsey and Mrs. Marion
Bendixen were hostess for the
dessert luncheon served be
fore the meeting. The next
meeting will be February 27
at the home of Mrs. Joe Ollis,

New Hats
Worn Level
Or Tipped
United Press International
Spring hats are designed to
wear level or tipped back on
the head. Some styles have a
decided tilt, worn at provoca
tive angles. The Millinery
Creaters of America, a group
of 17 designers, shows wide,
floppy brimmed picture hats
which give two different ef
fects. depending on the angle
They hide the face when
worn straight or frame the
face in a youthful manner,
dipping to the shoulder in
back, when tilted.
Veils are in abundance
swathing evening hats, ob
scuring the face in a cloud,
or falling from brim to neck
line in harem fashion. These
long Turkish veils often are
trimmed at the bottom with
fabric matching trim on the
hat or with colored flowers,
resembling a boa which falls
around the shoulders.
Look for the Miss in misr
siles, say engineers with a
Milwaukee metal spinning
firm, which manufactures
rocket parts. They noticed a
marked similarity between
shapes of fashions and the
rockets.
For example, the trapeze
look, popular last year, is re
peated in the conical spinning
which forms part of the Hon
est John missile. The chemise,
another 1958 style, looks like
the cylinder that forms the
first part of many missile
spinnings. And the sheath,
back in fashion this year, re
sembles a nozzle component
from another missile.
The women in white now
can wear mix-n-match uni
forms. Skirts fasten to blouses
by means of the new nylon
adhesive closure (V e 1 c r o).
Thus blouses cannot pull out,
giving a messy appearance.
The uniform separates come
in white slub - textured Dac
ron. Skirts are wrap-around
style, with a single patch
pocket. Blouses have keep V
seaming in front and cuffed
cap sleeves. (Miss White of
New York.)
Mohair shows from the
skin-side out these days. Im
portant for fall were the big,
colorful mohair coats and
mohair-blend sweaters. Now
Paris is turning out mohair
sportswear and lounging
items for mid-winter.
One style is a white, loosely-knit
mohair combination
negligee and tea gown with
pink satin drawstrings and
bows. The shawl collar stands
away from the neck, the
waistline is raised, sleeves are
three-quarter length, and but
tons open down the front.
Jacques Heim shows an after-ski
outfit of amethyst
velveteen Knee -length tights
with high, boned corselet top.
A pale yellow mohair dress
slips over the ensemble. He
suggests ribbed knitted wool
stockings, worn with velve
teen flats to complete the cos
tume. Plastic Bag Care
New York - (UPD - Polyethy
lene bags, used to store gar
ments, should not be sealed.
Differences in temperatures
inside and outside the bag can

This may lead to mildew or
rust stains from metal trim

Four musicians who have played together for 30 years as
the Griller String quartet, will give a concert here Friday,
January 30, for Jackson County Civic Music association. The
musicians, Sidney Griller, first violin; Jack O'Brien, second
violin; Philip Burton, viola and Colin Hampton, cello, will
appear at the Medford High school auditorium with the pro
gram set for 8 p.m. The Griller quartet has played through
out England, Europe, the United States and Canada. King
George VI honored Sidney Griller in making him a Com
mander of the Order of the British Empire, the first chamber
music artist to be so honored, and in 1953 the quartet took
part in the Coronation Concerts. The four men are now the
quartet in residence at the University of California. In addi
tion to the university work and concert appearances, the
Griller quartet has made many phonograph recordings.
Federal Bureau Studies
Problem of Child Care
Washington, D. C- Nearly
400,000 children under 12
have to care for themselves
while their mothers work, and
138,000 of these children are
less than 10 years old, Mrs.
Katherine B. Oettinger, Chief
of the Children's Bureau, said
today.
Among children under 12
years of age, 1 child in 13
whose mother works must
look out for himself for vary
ing periods, Mrs. Oettinger
said. In the age group of 10
and 11 alone, one in five is
without any care while his
mother is at work.
These were among the find
ings of a special survey con
ducted for the Children's
Bureau by the Bureau of the
Census. The study covered the
arrangements made by work
ing mothers for care of their
children during May, 1958.
The number of mothers in
the labor force with children
under 18 has more than
doubled since 1950, Mrs. Oet
tinger said.
1958 Studied ,
During the 1958 period
studied by the Census Bureau,
a total of 2,873,000 mothers
were working full time. - Of
their 6,665,000 children, 5,
073,000 were under 12 years
of age.
While most of the children
for whom day care arrange
ments were made were cared
for either by fathers or rela
tives while their mothers
Session Planned

The annual election of offi
cers and a briefing session
for leaders and members of
Great Decisions groups will

day, January 29, at Girls

Speakers will be Bruce'
Manley, Mrs. Rex Nicodemus,
Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr.,

worked, about 1,034,000 were
looked after by non-relatives
who either came into the chil
dren's homes or cared for
them in their own homes.
About 24,000 children under
three and 67,000 children be
tween 3 and 5 were in group
care.
Nearly one of every four
of the working mothers had
only children who were under
six years of age.
Some 231,000 mothers were
temporarily not living with
their husbands, and 308,000
were divorced or widowed.
The study showed that
about 2 of every 5 of the
working mothers were sales
or clerical workers, and about
one in 7 held a managerial or
professional position.
"These figures," Mrs. Oet
tinger said, "tell us a great
deal about the gaps which ex
ist in services for children of
working mothers.
"Any community should be
alarmed that young children
under 12 have to fend for
themselves while their moth
ers work. These children are
most apt to fall prey to acci
dents or harmful influences
without proper adult super
vision.
Group Care Bad
"In addition, the Children's
Bureau firmly believes that
very young children, especial
ly those under three, should
not be cared for in groups.
They need individual atten
tion from their mothers, or
from a mother substitute,
during this period so import
ant in forming their life pat
terns." Many of the mothers who
work, and especially those
with very young children, do
so out of economic necessity,
Mrs. Oettinger pointed out.
"We feel that communities
need to recognize this situa
tion and to take up the slack
in providing day care pro
grams for the protection of
these children," Mrs. Oetting
er said. "The Children's Bu
reau, together with the Wom
en's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor, is conducting
a national survey to find out
the interests and activities of
national organizations in this
field.
"The special study which
the Census Bureau conducted
at our request gives us some
much needed clues on the size
of this problm. We hope the
results of the study will stimu
late states and communities
to make a fresh examination
of the, problem within their
borders."

Facts Fight Communism Say
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York-(UPD-If a pink
cheeked dude asked you to be
come a Communist, what
would you do?
Give three cheers for the
red, white and blue, and then
toss a tomato at him? Shud
der awhile, sweat, and then
run and hide?
"Talk turkey" is what you
should do, say Harry and Bo
na ro Overstreet, husband-and-wife
authors of a new book,
"What We Must Know About
Communism."
By "talk turkey" the two
mean: Invite the "salesman"
to get down to brass tacks
in a no-holds-barred debate
about Communism. For ex
ample, ask:
"If the party's so 'good for
the people', why is it that
fewer than seven million of
Russia's 200 million 'citizens'
belong?"
Know the Facts
If you know the facts about
Communism, according to the
Overstreets, you can chime in
while he tries to answer, say
ing: "You know darn well the
'people' can't join. If they
could, it wouldn't be pure
Communism anymore. The
creators of the 'people's party'
said a powerful few million
should lead cowering hun
dreds of millions."
