address by telling of the pro
gress of BPWC from a mem
bership of 212 women at or
ganization 40 years ago to
174,000 now, representing 700
different occupations.
Turning then to the field
of world affairs, Mrs. Ward
declared that if this country
is to hold its position as a
world power the double stand
ard for men and women work
ers must be broken and wom
en must take their rightful
position in the world of
science as well as business and
industry.
She pointed out that in
Russia and other Communistic
nationsthere are many more
women engineers, doctors,
scientists and business execu
tives than in the United States,
and that they are treated as
the equals of men and receive
the same pay. She also said
that "the expanding economy
of this nation depends upon
woman-power."
Mrs. Ward said it is the

Pearls Enhance
Declares Expert on Jewels
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York UPD Diamonds,
to some a girl's best friend,
are just so much price tag
to Mrs. Felicia Canova.
She's a pearl girl one of
the few women pearl import
ers in the United States.
"Diamonds have no person
ality," said Mrs. Canova, al
though she is- aware most of
us women don't worry about
that fact. "Only price tag.
They are cold . . . why do you
think they're referred to as
'ice'? Pearls have warmth;
they light up a woman's
face."
Mrs. Canova's business is
cultured pearls, which she
contends are different only in
cost from those the oyster
produces without man-made
irritation.
The same size and type of
genuine pearl, however, will
cost 50 times as much as the
cultured," she said. "Some
genuine pearl necklaces go
for as much as $50,000. You
can buy a cultured one for
$200 to $5,000, depending on
the quality of the pearls, the
size, and number of strands."
King Of Pearls
French -born Mrs. Canova,
mother of two sons one a
writer and the other a mathe
matician, became an expert in
pearls by first being an ex
pert secretary. Coming to the
United States after World
War H, she worked for Leon
ard Rosenthal, a millionaire
dealer, generally dubbed the
"King of Pearls."
When he died in 1955, she
opened her own business.
I learned of Mrs. Canova
in a roundabout fashion -
Japan air lines called to say
she had booked her first
flight to the orient, center of
cultured pearls breeding, and
was their 100,000th trans
pacific passenger.
Later, in an interview, Mrs.
Canova talked of some of the
lore associated with pearls
Cleopatra Wor Tiiem
Cleopatra was one of the
famous beauties to we
them. Ancient Persian medals
representing queens show the
royal ladies with pearls in
their ears. Persians also used
pearls on their shoes, and as
necklaces and eardrops.
Greek women adorned them
selves with pearls before
sleeping, in order to possess
them in their dreams. The
largest pearl in the world was
in the Hope collection - it

Program Topic
For Gardeners.
Dr. Fred T. Burich spoke
on tne culture oi rnoaoaen
drons and azaleas before a
large group at the recent
meeting of the Medford Gar
den club. He explained why
they should have much the
same care and location as they
had in their native wild state
in China.
They should be located in
partial shade, protected from
the wind and have plenty of
moisture, Dr. Burich said.
Their small roots grow close
to the surface and should al
ways be mulched with either
peat moss, oak leaves or well
rotted compost. The soil
should be on the acid side and
each plant should be well
drained. The speaker added
that some fertilizer can be
given as for any acid loving
plants but it is better to give
too little than too much.
Mrs. Thomas Cardona, bird
chairman, gave a report on
the various birds she encount
ered on her recent trip back
to the middlewest ( and
throughout the southern states.
Mrs. Oscar Larson and Mrs.
Ralph Jones were presented
a prize from the club. Mrs.
Mattie Carson of Butte Falls
displayed an unusual arrange
ment of wild orchid, Calypso,
found in the logging area near
her home.
, Mrs. Ira . Fitzgerald, flower
show chairman, spoke of the
annual spring flower show
which is scheduled for May
23 in Hedrick Junior High
school between 1 and 8:30 p.m.
She advised all flower lovers
in this locality to bring en
tries and to have them on lo
cation before 9:30 o'clock
Saturday morning. Members
are asked to bring cookies for
the tea.
The nominating committee
reported. On the slate are
Mrs. Dayton DePue, first vice
president; Mrs. Ira Fitzgerald,
second vice president; Mrs.
Harry Buckmaster, treasurer;
Mrs. C. L. Miller, recording
secretary; Mrs. A. L. Carroll,
corresponding secretary and
Mrs. H. L. Ekerson as histor

Mrs. L. P. Rentchler, presi
dent, announced a meeting of
board members at her home
on Monday, May 25.
The lace covered tea table
was centered with an arrange
ment of blended peach and
yellow azaleas. Mrs. Ella Lar
son and Mrs. E. M. Wallin
poured. Mrs. John Mansfield,
tea chairman, was assisted by
Mrs. William Naylor, Mrs,
Harry Olson and Mrs. J. V.

was a baroque weighing 1860
grains. Mrs. Canova isn't sure
who owns it now.
In all parts of the world,
she said, pearls are associated
with brides "probably because
pearls enhance." And, to some
people, the pearl "symbolizes
tears," but Mrs. Canova isn't
superstitious.
Her own favorite necklace
is a 24-inch single strand of
cultured pearls, given her by
the widow of her employer.
A woman should select the
tone of pearls to go with her
complexion and hair color,
she said. By types, here are
the most becoming colors.
Blonde with blue eyes
white pearls;
Red hair with fair skin
white with either a rose or
very pale green tint;
Dark hair with fair skin -white
with rose tint.'
Dark hair with hair skin
cream or rose tint.
