Lovely Model
- 1
After Two Cancer Operations
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-IUPD-Irma Austin
is one of the nation's loveli
est models and one of the
world's luckiest women.
Last October, she found she
had cancer of the breast.
Today after two trips
through , sur
gery and ex
tensive post
operative treatments she
again is walk
ing fashion
runways, and
f 1 as h i n g a
smile that all
A who see her
Gay Pauley remember.
"I've got plenty to smile
about," said the tall, vivacious
brunette to a group of re
porters recently in Dallas,
which is Irma's home.
We were there to see spring
clothes collections from the
manufacturers in the Dallas
fashion center.
"If my experience can be of
help . . . can be a lesson to
other women on early diagno
sis and check ups, I'm happy
to talk about it," she said
later in an interview.
Takes Heavy Toll
The American Cancer so-ciety-ACSr-said
that cancer of
the breast is the number one
cancer killer among women;
that 21,000 die each year.
Yet ACS says that 81 per
cent of all breast cancer is
curable if diagnosed early and
treated properly. As is, 46 per
cent of the cases diagnosed are
cured.
Those of us who have cov
ered the Dallas center collec
tions since they began formal
showings to the press in 1950
have grown to know Irma
well. She and three other top
flight models Zane Hays,
Juanita Ransome and Ann
Daniels are "perennials" in
the center's presentations.
The four also are close
friends, and although all are
married and have children
ranging in age from 14 months
to 13 years, are booked often
for fashion, photographic and
television work.
Irma is a general favorite
with retail stores, manufac
turers, buyers and press alike,
not only because of her good
looks and clothes knack, but
also her sparkle. She still has
that, despite the fact that last
October, physicians gave her
"a 50-50 chance of survival."
Just In Time
The model said her malig
nancy seemed to develop sud
denly "I went to bed one
Saturday night feeling fine
and woke up the next morn
ing with the left breast swol
len . . . arm aching. I called
my doctor."
The physician told her the
probable nature of her illness
and "that," she said, "is the
only time I ever cried.
"I went home and told Paul
-her husband, a supervisor
with Chance Vought Aircraft,
I wanted to be alone for a
while.
"And then I prayed."
Within two weeks, the mod
el who is 41 and the mother
of a five-year-old daughter,
went through her first surgery
for removal of the affected
breast. One month later, sur
geons performed an hyster

Junior Bethel
Night Observed
Junior Bethel night was ob
served at the last meeting of
Bethel 14, International Or
der of Job's Daughters. Miss
Bernice Skoog, a past queen,
presided.
Serving as junior bethel of
ficers were Donna Johnson,
recorder; Sharon Smeds, treas
urer; Diane Evernham, chap
lain; Martha Sandborn, musi
cian; Dru An Graff, librarian;
Karen Christenson, Donna Ma

Kelly, Vicki Ann Ingram mes
sengers; Jean Pletsch, Diane
Bush, custodians; Lynn Peter
son, Linda Nash, guards; Cyn
thia Hogan, lady of the lights;
Monte Noble, assistant; Toni
Spence, prompter.
Mrs. Dorothy Crump, a past
grand guardian, showed a
film taken on her tour of
Europe and the Brussell's
World's Fair.
A slumber party followed,
with 45 girls attending.
The next meeting will be
April 1 at the Masonic temple.
Women to Serve
Easter Breakfast
Scottish Rite Women's club
will serve the annual Easter
breakfast for all Scottish Rite
Masons. Mrs. Marshall Day,
chairman, announced final
plans for the event at a meet
ing of the club held Monday
evening.
Past presidents of the club
were honored at the meeting,
with 9 out of the 11 present.
Mrs. E. C. Hoffman, club
president, presented each of
the women a corsage.
Cards were played, with
prizes going to Mrs. Fred
Graten, Mrs. W. O. Hughes
and Mrs. E. P. Stone.
The next meeting of thp
lub will be a luncheon April
13 at the Medford hotel for
installation of officers.
Back at Work
ectomy, as a protective meas
ure.
"They strip everything,"
said Irma matter-of-factly, "to
help slow or prevent the dis
ease." After surgery, physicians
gave her cobalt and x-ray the
rapy, plus injections of radios
active phosphorous into the
bloodstream.
Irma's weight had dropped
from her normal 127 to 105
pounds. i
"But I am so lucky in so
many ways," she said to me.
."My wonderful husband ... I
am here in a city where there
are leading cancer specialists
available. And I went to the
doctor in time. He later told
me the type I had was so fast,
if we hadn't caught it when
we did, I wouldn't have lived
30 days."
"I've always had superb
health; I'm almost a health ad
dict," she laughed. "My doc
tor says that, plus my mental
outlook, has as much to do
with my recovery as anything
else."
Today her physician says
he believes her 100 per cent
well, although Irma explain
ed he could "not promise a
cure until five years have
passed."
She was back modeling
within two weeks after the
first surgery. Within two
weeks after the second, she re
sumed her charm schools for
teen-agers, a project she be
gan four years ago, staging
two-week sessions in coopera
tion with stores in the south
west. She also has regained her
model's figure, 37-26-36, al
though she has to wear a spe
cially fitted bra. The only
bookings she turns down are
for shows where strapless
gowns pose a problem because
of the surgical scar
"I'm not going to retire and
I'm not going to worry," said
Irma.
"A long time ago, I left
everything to God."
Red Cross Secretary
At Eugene Meeting
Mrs. Helen A. Wilson, ex
ecutive secretary for Jackson
County chapter, American
Red Cross, is attending a con
ference in Eugene composed
of managers and secretaries

dress the group concerning
Red Cross operations with
the military. Mr. Kross is
stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Since the Red Cross is under

Don't try to get into Rogue Valley Country club from
the south entrance. Not if you're starting from where we
did, and wearing high heels.
en route to the American
dusk, took a look at all the
cars and what not and, since
the pro shop, decided to detour around that building and go
in the terrace door. Well, what's out front is as much of a
mess as the north side of the building and we ended up
by walking way out on the golf course and then struggling
through' the shrubbery at the end of the terrace.
It will be a great day when the additions are all finished
and the entrances and driveways back in order again.
It would be wonderful, too, if functions in Medford started
on time. But they almost never do - except sometimes when
the society editor is late. Tuesday night, after a late start
from the office, a delay, at the service station while we
hunted up someone to move a car parked in front of our
Chevrolet, and the trek around the putting green and
through the shrubbery, we panted into the dining room a
half hour beyond the appointed hour of 6:30 p.m., expecting
to find it crowded. About a dozen members and guests were
on hand, and the guest of honor, Mrs. Arthur M. Cusick of
Austin, Nev., didn't come for half an hour or so after that.
However, dinner was worth waiting for. The stuffed pork
chops were excellent. So was the fried chicken served for
the Lions' club dinner last Saturday evening rafter a con
siderable wait. But we've decided that if "dinner is going to
be late, it's better not to order lobster as we did for the
Junior Service league dinner the week!" before; We love
lobster, but it doesn't wait very well.
Tuesday night our dinner host was.. Keegan .Townserid,
district commander of the American Legion. .Although both
of us work for The Tribune, we're in different departments
and it was the first time the society editor had' had a real
conversation with Mr. T. He formerly lived in Texas,' says
it's a great state but he likes Oregon better except that he
believes Texas is more efficiently operated - as -a state, that
is. Keegan says Texas considers its sales tax most successful
and pointed out that Oregon, with sister states on both sides
taking a sizeable hunk of money from Oregon visitors every
year through the sales taxes, should turn the tables.
When the talk turned to food, Keegan admitted tnat ne
likes to cook and says he had something of a reputation
among his Texas friends for his barbecue sauce. He. uses
honey in it, among other more traditional ingredients .
State and national officers of women's organizations
acquire a great deal of "loot" during their comings and
goings. Tuesday night Mrs. Cusick was presented a myrtle
wood gift from the Medford auxiliary and she was carrying
a tooled leather hand bag given to her by veterans at Camp
White earlier in the day. She had also been presented an
Oregon Centennial plate put out by the American Legion
and auxiliary with a picture of Camp White, and orchids
to wear for the dinner.
In her talk, Mrs. Cusick pointed out that while the Ameri
can Legion and auxiliary work for adequate national de
fVi!i not luct missilps anrf nlanes are the country's best
bulwark against threats to our freedom, but the loyalty of
the people. She also added that "peace costs money."
At one point Mrs. Cusick said "Americanism is the best

and the struggle between tne nations oi xne wesi auu me
Communist-controlled countries. At one point one of the
group members said "I love America and I love the American
way of life, but isn't it leaving us weak and soft? Are we
really as strong as we think we are?"!
;
This question always brings as many answers as there
are individuals answering, but it brought to mind a quotation

11 a lbbllb v -w v - - j
relations department of the
facturers. The quotation was aDout a new dook, in iveij
r T3 nno" Viv TTii!pnp TCinkead in which he analyzes the
findings of the U.S. Army's
.. .
tion of the reactions oi American prisoners to uie ucaunciu
which they received from their Communist captors during
the Korean conflict.
The quotation reads: "Most disturbing is tne revelation
that one out of every three G.I. prisoners was guilty of some
form of collaboration with the enemy, ranging all the way
from minor technicalities to some major cooperation. Equally
discouraging is the evidence of brutality displayed by some
of the captives toward their fellows. And it is disheartening
to discover that some of the fatalities among the 38 per cent
of the American prisoners who died while Communist cap
tives were traced directly to the callous attitude displayed
by some of the survivors toward their ill or wounded com
rades. In contrast, largely because of their esprit de corps
and mutual loyalty, none of the Red-held Turkish prisoners
died in similar captivity. .
"Captured Communist documents disclose that young
enlisted U.S. prisoners of high mentality, ranging in age
from 18 to 24, were found to be the most susceptible to
psychological pressures. Among other weaknesses, Red in
telligence reports evaluated American soldiers as lacking
in loyalty to family, religion, community, country and their
fellows - as opportunistic and insecure - and with hazy con
cepts of right and wrong! U.S. Army findings revealed that
most of the prisoners had been unable to adjust to a primitive
situation because of a lack of resourcefulness ascribed largely
to a softening failure in their childhood and adolescent train
ing Their attitudes reflected no self-reliant spirit of 'What
can' I do to help myself but rather the despairing plaint
'What can be done to help me'?" - O.S.
