2 MAIL TRIBUNE. M.dforrf, Or.gon, WcJnndty, March 25, 1959
National Officer Legion Auxiliary
Honored; Department Heads Here
"I?ie United States of chairman for the department service officer; Anson Ingels,
America will endure as long
as each American accepts his
responsibility," declared Mrs
Arthur M. Cusick, national
vice-president of the Ameri
can Legion auxiliary who
spoke in Medford last night.
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.
Commander Speaks
Department Comman
der Nelson declared he was
proud to belong to the great
est service organization in the
nation and reviewed the
youth program of the Legion.
He spoke of the nation-wide
support of spirts for youth,
of Boys' State, of the Legion's
oratory contests and child
welfare programs. He praised
District 13 for its support of
Boys' State each year and
said that one of the largest
and most important delega
tions comes each year from
this district.
"Through support and the
strengthening of the nation's
youth, the American Legion
builds and strengthens the
country," Commander Nelson
said.
Howard Appling, Salem,
Oregon's secretary of state,
was present for the dinner and
spoke briefly, praising both
the American Legion and the
auxiliary for their civic ser
vice and patriotic endeavors
in Oregon.

As
Ten-Year-Old TV Actress
Says Television Just Play
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (ITD - Nature
equipped Patty Duke with a
surplus of the "Let's Pretend"
inherent in all
children.
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. Mrs.
Ross is teaching me how to

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.
Spring Suits
Come in Checks
United Press International
Suits will have a checkered
future this spring. Look for
checks in casual suits, cos
tume suits and separate skirts.
The checks range from pin
sized to about four -inch
squares.
St. Louis designers favor
the walking suit-a hold over
from last fall. For spring, the
suits come in pastel fabrics.
Blends of silk and rayon are
popular.
The many - stranded bib
necklace has a new look. It
is massed high on the throat.
Tiny seed beads are mixed
with rhinestone rondelles or
small color-matched pearls.
The bibs can be twisted into
bulky ribbons or worn in de1
liberate disarray above the
bateau neckline. Slender,
shiny bugle beads, as many
as 10 strands, make good fil
lers for wide suit necklines.
Lightweight bubble beads or
crystals, usually in color, are
bulked into chokers.
New sleepwear has a three
way collar. Used on man-
tailored pajamas or short
night-shirts, the collar can be
worn turned up in a mandar

bles as jewelry and a sou

iature of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa. It comes in silver
and gold-plate, either plain
or set with turquoise. A red
leather case goes with the
tube.
Poplins, still the top fash
ion in rainwear, have new
styling for spring. Belts are
placed just under the bosom
or at the hiplines, and hoods
zip off to reveal knit collars.
In one model the belt has
a zipper pocket-
