Mrs. Cusick, who lives in Austin, Nev., was honored at a dinner given at Rogue Val ley Country club by Medford unit of the auxiliary. Guests also included department and district officers of both the Legion and auxiliary; about 85 persons were present. Mrs. Cusick said that nu clear weapons, planes and missiles, are not the only bul wark of this nation's defense, but that the loyalty and patri otism of each citizen constv tute the main strength of the country. The national officer said that periods of apathy had resulted in this nation's late entrance into World War I, had brought on Pearl Har bor and been responsible for Russia being first with Sput nik and a moon rocket. "The Communists have a long-range plan for conquest," she de clared, and said "we must all understand the real threat to our freedom." She added that Americanism is the best way of life and said it must be protected with a policy of "peace through strength." She urged her listeners to see that adequate national de fenses are maintained. Peace Costly Mrs. Cusick warned that "peace costs money" and said that the dollar sign could not be disassociated from respon sibility. The speaker talked about the rehabiliation program car ried on by both the Legion and auxiliary and added that the two groups have spent $100 million since 1925 to re store veterans to useful, hap py lives and to aid their fam ilies. She urged her listeners to help strengthen the Ameri can home and added "there Is no substitute for good par ents." Also speaking at the dinner were Mrs. George L." Dickie Jr., Portland, auxiliary de partment president, and George Nelson, Portland, Le gion department commander. Mrs. Dickie, paying her offic ial visit to the Medford aux iliary, spoke of the Camp White domiciliary and said it offers an opportunity for Med ford auxiliary members and others to be of real service to their fellow men. "Most of you are not too tired, too busy and do not have too many children to help the men at Camp White," Mrs.! Dickie said. "We have a great obligation to the veterans," Mrs. Dickie added. Mrs. Dickie introduced Mrs. Cusick, and presented her a gift of myrtlewood from the Department of Oregon aux-1 iliary.

The result is steady success for her as a television ac tress, although the little bru nette with the big blue eyes a ' u t ja ; " ... Gay Pauley pigtails IS Only 10 years old. "I once thought I'd rather play than act," said Patty. "Now, I know they're the same thing." Miss Duke and I discussed her career, clothes and boy friends while we worked our way through double dip, hot chocolate fudge sundaes with out pecans. She wore a blue green cotton dress with sev eral layers of petticoats under neath. "I call 'em my sticky outers," said Patty. Old Folks Have Problems "I want to be an actress when I grow up," said she, and then added thoughtfully, "but I like being a litle girl. When you grow up you've got problems. That's what I hear all the time from grownups." Miss Duke, who averages 10 television appearances a month, is the second acto? in the family. Older brother Ray, 16, first was discovered by John Ross, agent, manager and coach specializing in child talent, while he scouted a per formance at the Madison Ave nue Boys' club of New York. When he met Patty, he signed her up also. "I've got a sister too," said Miss Duke. "I guess I'd better not tell her age. She's not an actress. She works for an insurance com pany. Oh heck, she's 20." Patty's father is a cab driv er but "he's been ill," said the little actress. "My mother's work? She's my mother." Patty's career began three years ago and in that period, she has appeared on the U. S. Steel Hour several times, once with Helen Hayes; on the Arm strong Circle Theater seven times; was in "Wuthering Heights" and "The Prince and The Pauper" on the DuPont Show of the Month; and in "Swiss Family Robinson," an NBC spectacular. She also played Kim Stan ley as a child in the movie, "The Goddess," and has fin ished another picture, not re leased. She also is a regular on a daytime television serial. Fat Role Forthcoming One of her fattest roles will be that of the younger sister in the musical, "Meet Me in St. Louis," a two-hour show on CBS April 26. The cast will include Tab Hunter, Myrna Loy, Walter Pidgeon, Jenne Crain, Jane Powell and Ed Wynn. Ross said the young actress, earnings go into a trust fund, part of which will go to her when she's 21. Currently, Patty is scrimping along on a $1 a week allowance. The day we talked she'd spent most of it on "some thread and needles and things.

The young actress is in the seventh grade at Mace school, a professional c h i 1 d r e n's school. "My last report card, I had an average of 83 point something," she said. "Civics is the hardest thing. I like ancient history best. It's like a fairy tale. I do most of my homework at rehearsals. "I don't think parents who have talented children should force them. You've really got to like acting to act. But it's one big lark. I got to miss Miss Hayes, and Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Pidgeon and. . . "Mr. Pidgeon is my boy friend. Mr. Ross is too. And so are some of the boys she manages, only they don't know it yet," said Patty, as she scraped the bottom of her sundae dish.
