ceremony in the Rogue River
Civic clubhouse June 5.
Taking office with Mrs.
Dick were Mrs. Beryl Ingle,
vice-president; Mrs. Rollin
Stiehl, treasurer, and Mrs. Ed

of First District of the federa
tion, was installing" officer.
Preceding the ceremonies 26
members and guests attended
a potluck dinner. Mrs. Earl
Green and Mrs. Cloyd Dick
were chairmen of arrange
ments. The new president, who at
tended the recent convention
of the Oregon federation held
in Roseburg, reported on the
sessions. She pointed out that
the General Federation has a
membership of 11 million
members in 58 countries and
that these women, represent
ing the same goals, represent
the largest membership in any
organization of women.
Mrs. White read a humorous
verse.
X this time you think the audience at San Francisco

($2b York Times reported the same reaction in that
closing night at the Metropolitan. John Martin wrote

gBt city. This time the entire visit hinged on the helpful
(trtu o hotel manager, Willard Abel of the Sir Francis
jfe-att who secured the two tickets. We had found courage

?ciing home on the bus (the second consecutive all
S3a g for the two of us) we wondered about the impact
(B1 th Moiseyev and the Bolshoi troupes have had on
&airican audiences. ER also wondered why Communist
Su0if, devoted to practical and pragmatic living, had con
jatued to support and even strengthened the great ballet
ftaitution in Moscow which dates back to 1773 and was
darling of the czars. Ballet is very high on the esthetic
QCle she pointed out, and in many ways removed from
fiara day life..
Would such s&enes as took place in New York and San
rancisco ad in such countries as Syria happen if the
dancajrs were French, or Japanese, or South African? San
Franciscans are wondering too, and in an Examiner column
jg vgs reported that one thoughtful man came up with this
angler. The enthusiasm over the Bolshoi troupe is rooted
in mass psychology, he said. It is a popular expression of
the the wish that the cold war was over.
Bolshoi ballet tickets are expensive. Reports from New
York are to the effect that some paid as much as $75 or
.$100. One San Franciscan who was muttering in his glass
Sunday evening would pay $100 to see a Russian first hand,
but not a dancer. "Just let them send over Khrushchev,"
-he kept saying. "I'll pay $100 to sea him." O.S.

So says Pe

president of
Af I tional chain of

Gay Pauley "Y p U can
tell the fad type by her con
versation," said Lynch. "She
has all the catch phrases when
she comes into a men's shop
. . . continental, slim Jim, the
Ivy look."
Not that Lynch is out to
discourage ladies' shopping
for males. On the contrary,
the shops encourage the girls
and the salesmen try to edu
cate them to what is good
style. .
Likes Couples Shopping
Industry - wide, the encour
agement also is going on. And
paying off. It is estimated
from one national study that
women "suggested or decided
on" purchase of 38 per cent
of men's suits, 56 per cent of
their shirts, 36 per cent of
their slacks, 24 per cent of
their sport coats and 17 per
cent of their headwear.
"We like to see a husband
and wife shopping together,"
said Lynch. "If it's a happy
combination. But sometimes
if the woman is of the domi
nant type, we know there's no
sale today. He will be in alone
next week."

them with hot biscuits for

sugar to the biscuit dough and
sweeten the berries under
neath. Biscuits, shortcakes

Graham Guest of
Queen for Tea
- London -4UPD- Billy Graham
leaves for Moscow today after
a short London visit climaxed
by tea with Queen Elizabeth
- ''one of the loveliest women
in the world." ..
The evangelist was receiv
ed by the Queen and her hus
band - it was Prince Philip's
38th birthday - at Bucking
ham Palace at 5 pjn. for tea
and a chat Wednesday.
"It was all rather wonder
ful," he said afterwards. "My
invitation in fact came about
two months ago while I was
in Australia. I didn't know it
was Prince Philip's birthday
until I read about it in the
newspapers. That made it
even more an especial honor."
. "I thought the Queen look
ed very beautiful," he said.
"In fact I think she is one
of the loveliest women in the
world even more beautiful
than the last time I saw her
in 1955."
The president discussed
women and their buying hab
its because Father's day is
just around the calendar .
June 21, the necktie selection
season is on, and women will
buy approximately 60 per
cent of the 36 million sold.
"Fewer than' six out of
every 10 neckties will find
their way around father's
neck," said Lynch. "They
either will be returned to the
store, or else just hang in the
closet."
This is largely because
women buy men's ties with
their own clothing tastes in
mind, said Lynch.
