Copco Employee
Is Speaker for
Mineral Group
Jay J. Elliott of The Califor
nia-Oregon Power company
presented a motion picture,
"Conquest Of The Klamath,"
at last Friday's meeting of the
Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral
club. The program pointed out
how geological knowledge is
utilized in the construction of
Copco's installations on the
Klamath River.
One of the guests, Don
Cline, gave an interesting
demonstration of faceting
This is one of the, techniques
used in producing finished
gem stones.
Mrs. John S. Dodge an
nounced that the material now
in the club's showcase at the
U. S. National bank, Main and
Central streets, was provided
by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Harri
son. It is a display of speci
mens from the quartz family
of minerals, all found within
a radius of 75 miles from Med
ford.
Participation in the South
ern Oregon Gem and Mineral
show was discussed and a
number of members an
nounced that they intend to
exhibit. This event takes
place June 27 and 28. at the
fairgrounds in Grants Pass.
An "early bird" field trip
for June was announced by
Delmar Smith. The meeting
point will be the junction of
Highways 66 and 99 just south

Townsend Club Notes
Meeting Hour Change
Beginning Wednesday. June
17. Townsend club announces
that the weekly potluck lunch
eon hour will be changed to
12:30 'p.m.
On last week s program,
entertainment was provided
by Jack and Ronnie . Webster.
Three new members were
reported.
The meeting closed with
readings, and dancing.
Members are reminded that
Centennial clothing will be
in order for a picnic to be
held July 1 in Hawthorne
park. Men are asked to wear
derby hats, and whiskers will
be permissible.
a .
City and Denver residents are
the fattest.
Texas also appears to be
about as big in the paunch
as it is in everything else.
And the so-called backbone
of the nation-the Middle and
Southwest-is well cushioned.
Fatsos abound in Columbus,
Ohio, Indianapolis, Chicago,
Houston and Cincinnati.
These are some of the find
ings in a drug store "samp
ling" done by the regimen
division of the Drug Research
corporation. Regimen, a re
ducing aid, wanted to find
where it should concentrate
its sales campaigns, explained
the president, John Andre.
Compiled By Questionnaire
The firm claims this is the
first such "overweight map"
ever drawn. Until now, it
says, the only available statis
tic on the obesity problem has
been the generally accepted
findings of major life insur
ance companies. They list
some 17 million adults-or one
of every five persons-weighing
more than is good for
them.
The American Medical As
sociation figures you're a fat
ty if you're 10 to 15 per cent
above the average for your
weight and build.
Andre said the map x was
compiled from more than
5,000, questionnaires turned! in
by customers of 700 drug
stores. The study did not try
to determine whether there
is a relation of fat of the land
and fat bank accounts.
It .took notice though of
capital gains residents of
most state capitals and Wash
ington, D. C, were above
average.
Few areas turned out to be
"perfectly average." Only Ak
ron, Ohio, and San Antonio,
Tex., rated the "one in five."
The study found that the
percentage of fatties increas
ed as you move inland from
both coasts. San Francisco
and Boston a shrinking capi
tal, for example, averaged one
adult out of 10 as obese.
Most cities along the Pa
cific Coast averaged below the
national figure. But the study
found that, with the excep
tions of "cornfed" Omaha and
Lincoln, Neb., no major city
in the Midwest or Southwest
could boast a below average
weight.
As a whole, the report
showed, Southern and New
England states are the lean
est. Just why some states are
fat and others skinny, the
study didn't try to determine.

Invisible, Portrait Chairs
By MARGUERITE DAVIS
United Press International
Chicago - (UPD - The annual
June international home fur
nishings market opened today
with such eye-openers as in
visible chairs and portrait
chairs, but the dominant style
note is the trend to non
matching furniture.
Traditional suites are being
replaced, at least partially, by
the non - matchers tall, thin
furniture counterbalanced by
long, low pieces.
Many of the new collections
contain harmonizing pieces
rather than those which re
peat the same design with
twin-like monotony.

group shown at the merchan

Another collection, following
the trend to blend traditional
designs, combines elements of
Adam, English regency, Ital
ian provincial and Louis XV,
and the result is no hodge
podge but an harmonious ef
fect. , -
A designer and manufactur
er teamed up to develop "in
visible chairs" and "portrait
chairs. . ...
'Invisible' Furniture
The invisibles are translu
cent shells, intended to "cre
ate an open, uncrowded look
in the room," the designer
said, and to make the person
seated appear to be suspended
in space.
Figures freely drawn in
color and fused into the plas
tic appear to be sitting in the
portrait chairs. Snug-fitting,
foam-padded covers can be
snapped on over the shell rim
of the chair to cover the art
work.
Furniture design is formal.
Traditional styles are richly
adorned, while the contempo
rary features sculptured de
tail and restrained decoration.
Drawer pulls often nrovide
the decorative note. They in
clude round wood pulls with
cutout grabs backed in black
leather, the jewel-like variety
of teal blue glass fused onto
bronze, and oval cut-out grabs
faced with black, white or
beige vinyL
Designers also have the an
swer for furniture which will
provide needed cupboard and
shelf space but in the mini
mum floor space: Climb the
walls.
Higher and Higher
Collections at the American
furniture mart included an in
finite number of shelf and
cabinet arrangements in stor
age walls, stack - and - bunch
cases of varying dimensions,
and wall-hung desks and bars
and vanities.
Space -saving features ex
tend even to lamps. They
hang from wall pulleys, run
up poles in threes or more,
or drop from adjustable ceil
ing cords. Oriental and early
American are the style lead
ers among table lamps.
Beige, off-white, gold and
charcoal still are favorite
overall colors, but shades of
lavender and violet are the
new high fashion colors in
curtain and drapery fabrics.
A sheer print and companion
papers features lavender com
bined with the popular blue
and avocado green.' Also in
favor are the yellow-orange
tones-marigold, burnt orange
and apricot.

Russians Like
Dior Clothing
By ALINE MOSBY
Moscow- HIPD -Russian wo
men decided today they loved
Dior clothes but think the
high fashion French models
are something from another
planet.
"I ..loved the clothes but
hated her," was a typical
comment after Friday's open
ing of the precedent breaking
five day Parisian fashion
show.
Two thousand. Moscow
women watched the 12 Chris
tian Dior models display more
than a hundred outfits. But
the prices, starting at $100,
hardly fit Russian pocket
books any better than the
clothes fit husky Soviet fig
ures. Dior obviously picked the
most conservative clothes in
his salon for the Moscow
show, but even then, many
cocktail and evening gowns
and dressy suits are too fancy
for this conservative city,
where neckties are scarce
ven in the finest restaurants
Yet the women obviously
were pleased with such out
fits as suits with widely stand
away collars, widely pleated
skirts, and filmy, flowing,
chiffon short summer party
dresses.
They applauded every out
fit and smiled and leaned
over the railing in the audi
torium of the downtown labor
club to murmur about eve
ning gowns sparkling with
jewels.
The models, however,
brought many "nyets."
"They're strange looking-
just bones," a portly Russian
matron declared. .
