Actor Philip Hanson, back in Ashland after a trip to
Kansas and Missouri for appearances in his Shakespearean
program, ''Kings and Clowns," brought news of former com
pany members of the Oregon Shakespearean festival.
The actor gave his one-man show, which has been en
thusiastically received in various western cities in the past
several months, at the University of Kansas City and other
mid-west schools. After the
ceived a visit from Mrs. John
Randall. Mrs. Quigley reported
role in ''Peer Gynf now running at the Phoenix theater in
New York City. Miss Randall, who played Olivia in last
summer's production of "Twelfth Night" in the Oregon
Shakespearean festival, as well as other roles, is a favorite
with festival audiences. Mrs. Quigley has just returned to
the Mid-West after a trip to New York to see the play.
The actor, who was honored at a reception after his
program, went from Kansas City to Marshal, Mo., and there
was met by Eddie Barron, another Ashland actor and former
festival member who is now teaching drama at Stephens
college in Columbia, Mo. From Missouri Hanson continued
to Iowa City where he gave a performance at Iowa State
university and was a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Curt Zimansky. Mr. Z., faculty member of the Iowa school,
once spent a summer in Ashland serving as educational
director of the festival.
The Zimanskys also gave a reception for the touring
actor, and at the parly Mr. H. met his good friends, Paul and
Clara Reinhardt, and David Thayer. Mrs. Reinhardt, the
former Clara Daniels of Medford, was one of the most pop
ular of the festival actresses before her marriage. Her hus
band, actor and costumier, is now on the faculty of the Iowa
school's drama department and is working toward his doc
torate. David Thayer and his wife were in Ashland for the
1957 and '58 seasons, wth Mr. Thayer on the technical staff
and Mrs. Thayer as dance choreographer. Mr. Thayer was
also one of the consultants who helped plan the new Ash
land theater.
Although now a busy housewife and mother, Clara played !
a leading role in a university production this winter of the
little known "House of Bernarda Alba", Phil was told, and
was highly praised for her portrayal.
Popular Dorothy Huskey, who flew in last week for a
brief visit after spending the past two years in Madras,
India, was hardly given time to sleep and eat, so anxious
were friends to hear of her life among the East Indians.
Miss H. arrived in the valley loaded with presents for
her friends, bringing saris, dolls, hair ornaments and other
pretties. Dorothy also delighted everyone by wearing her
own saris at parties given in her honor. Sunday afternoon she
wound herself in a butter yellow sari for a tea given in her
honor by the Robert Minears at their hillside home off Stage
Road south. Later in the afternoon she entertained a group
of the guests by changing into a beautiful blue sari, a
present from Indian friends, and demonstrating how Indian
women wind the six yards of silk or cotton material into a
graceful, becoming garment. After the sari was adjusted,
Miss II. kicked off her interesting sandals and sat cross
legged on the floor to show how Indians and their guests
eat their meals on the floor.
When admiring guests commented on how easily she
managed this feat, Miss H. admitted that the Indian women
are more graceful and said she probably would never man
age to wear a sari with the grace and ease which the natives
do, or walk as smoothly and gracefully. Her Indian friends
encourage her to wear native dress while going about her
duties as a health educator for the Madras area, but her
western friends are the reverse and urge her to stick to her
"own clothes."
Miss Huskey, who worked in Jackson county as a health
educator, left Tuesday to return to Madras for another year's
stay. She said her work there is beginning to bring results,
and that she has many plans to carry out. Indian women are
playing an increasingly important role in civic life and gov
ernment, she reports, and Miss H. believes that the nation,
with it's huge population, is making progress on its health
program and on population control.

Dior Line Is "Flat As Pancake"
By PAT HERMAN
United Press International
Paris-(TPD-The mighty fash
ion house of Christian Dior
flattened the bust today to
inflate its multimillion-dollar
a year sales.
Dior's young successor,
Yves Saint-Laurent, 23, made
his "silhouette of tomorrow"
as flat above the waist as a
pancake.
The rest of the trend-dictating
line was loose-so much
so that many of the top fash
ion houses, new spring-summer
clothes could almost dou
ble for maternity dresses.
Daytime skirt lengths just
covered the knees, down a
touch from last season's Dior
line.
The new Dior evening
gowns were ankle-length in
front, sloping down to
floor length in back.
Saint-Laurent said before
the collection was shown that
the bust in evening wear had
suddenly become "all impor
tant." But if it was, it was
hard to find.
Shoulders Thrown Back
There was not a single de
collete dress in the collection.
The chest was so flattened
that the mannequins had to

Guy La Roche
Contradicts
Dior Line
By PAT HERMAN
By United Press International
Paris-ttlPD-Dressmaker Guy
LaRoche today restored the
bust-flattened Wednesday by
the famed House of Dior-to
its rightful place of extreme
importance on the properly
gowned female form.
LaRoche's line for spring
gave welcome relief to the
full-chested female after the
pancake flat look decreed by
Dior designer Yves Saint
Laurent. In his collection shown to
day LaRoche considered the
bosom area so important that
several of his dresses had
jeweled pins at the top and
bottom of the bust connected
by a chain.
One. of his gowns for even
ing wear had a decollete slit
almost down to the navel.
LaRoche did not bare chests
to point up their importance.
He achieved the effect with
dressmaking workmanship.
The first suits down the
runway had short jackets.
These easy fitting and at once
figure- revealing suits ap
peared in a variety of pastel
plaids and checks.
Skirt-lengths remained un
changed from last season-just
covering the knee.
LaRoche hats were small
with upturned brims. Blouses
were either chiffon or taffeta.
Several of the skirts, had 10
inch pleated panels near the
hemline.
Many of the light weight
wool coats had back fullness
controlled by deep yokes.
Most of them were shaped to
emphasize the bust-to-waist
area. Occasionally large pock
ets spanned this area to at
tract the eye to it.
One cerise colored collar
less coat had a wide bust to
waist belt. Its pleated dress
beneath had a wide waist cin
cher, cocoa colored.
LaRoche used lots of pale
blue, soft pink and white.
Grey was worn under white,
white under cherry red and
white in opposition against
black. One light grey coat had
a honey colored hat; an in
teresting color combination.
Dresses, whether for day
time or evening, invariably
honored the bustline.
The school has nurses of 36 dif
ferent national origins on its
staff; among them Sweden,
France, Australia, British Guia
na and the Philippines. There are
also exchange visitors from For
mosa, Korea and Liberia.
The student group includes
young people from Panama, Iran,
Israel, The Netherlands, Holland
and Lebanon. Friendships be

thing different enough to in
sure a boost in sales of the
most influential of all fash
ion houses.
After the precedent-setting
show Saint-Laurent, a shy
young man who wears spec
tacles, stood smiling proudly
surrounded by his pretty
mannequins.
Freedom of Movement
"Modern women have to
have full freedom of move
ment," he said. "I decided to
eliminate all the things which
tighten the female bust in the
daytime."
He said his credo applied
particularly to women par
ticipating in sports and living
actively-"especially American
women."
The Dior silhouette was un
cluttered by details from the
top of the model's deep
crowned hats to the slightly
upturned points of their
pumps.
There were two main lines
throughout the collection, one
featuring a straight, loose-fitting
dress with casual over-
blouse which every Paris de
signer has shown, the other
starring an even looser-fitting
tunic which flared out in back
in a style reminiscent of
Saint-Laurent's trapeze look
of two years ago.
The Duchess of Windsor,
among the ringsiders, wore a
form-fittins navy blue wool
suit. She would not comment
on how she thought this Dior
collection compared with last
season's.

Author Tells How to Help
Husband Relax and Live
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York (UPD An author
named Beth Wheeler may re
place the dog as man's best
friend.
Mrs. Wheeler, the wife of
Elmer of salesmanship fame,
is out with a book called
''How To Help Your Husband
Relax" Doubleday; She might
well have subtitled it, "How
To Keep Him Alive."
Any male would endorse
Mrs. Wheeler's method, which
is in essence: "Spoil, spoil,
spoil him."
In detail, however, she
spells out the grim statistics.
Heart disease is the No. 1 kill
er of men. There now are
eight million widows in
America. Woman's life span
is longer than man's, and the
gap in the average for each
grows wider with every dec
ade. This, despite the fact
that some 11 million women
today fill the triple role of
wife, mother and career girl.
The lady author, in her
book published today, sug
gested a couple of methods
for' beating the statistics -either
marry a man six or sev
en years your junior, as Dr.
Marion Langer of New York

BACON AND EGG SAUCE
Cover 3 eggs with cold
water and place over a thermostat-controlled
burner set
at 200 degrees. When the
flame cut back, set the timer
for 15 minutes. Then your
eggs will be perfectly cooked.
Fry 4 slices of bacon until

chopped green onions and 14
cup pickle juice or tarragon
vinegar to the bacon fat.
Crumble the bacon and chop

ed. For the mink coat you
may get now won't make up
for the years of loneliness as
a wealthy widow.
The Dallas housewife and
mother included these sugges
tions for helping hubby relax:
-Organize your life so that
there comes a long week end
every month or two months
at the most, where there is
nothing wrong with doing
nothing.
-Keep arguments at a min
imum, but a brief fight is bet
ter than weeks of brooding.
"Most surveys agree," said
Mrs. Wheeler, "that it usually
is the wife who starts the ar
gument . . . but if you're go
ng to fight, fight construc
tively. A simple discussion on
a constructive plane will
make a husband want to
change, when he realizes that
love, rather than scorn, is the
motive."
-Make time at the end of
the day to join him for a
drink or two before dinner -
"Infinitely better than having
him knock off several with
the boys on the way home."
-Make your husband feel
important through recogni
tion, appreciation, reassur
ance, attention and respect.
Mrs. Wheeler also stressed
the importance of watching
husband's weight as well as
your own-"It is a proven fact
that the shorter the waistline,
the longer the life line."
This, she conceded, is easier
said than done, but she gave
these tips: Give him a good
breakfast, not just fruit and
coffee, to discourage mid
morning snacking; feed him
emotionally, for a word of
praise, appreciation or affec
tion will take his mind off
the empty void in his stom
ach: keep temptation away,
indulging in your favorite
foods at noon or some other
time when he's not around.
Learn the rule of the three
Bs-bake, boil and broil, don't
fry; and spoil the rich foods,
if he insists on them, by over
cooking, scorching, or any
thing else to make them un
appetizing. Incidentally, Mrs. Wheeler
dedicates her book to her hus
band ';Who wishes I could
more consistently practice
that which I preach."

Department of Agriculture
recommends giving the baby
a hard-boiled egg yoik mash
ed and mixted with formula.
Another way to use egg yolk
is in a soft custard made with
one yolk and ' cup of milk.
An average yolk provides
1.2 milligrams of iron, .050
milligrams of thiamine, and
some Vitamin A. Egg white
is not used for infants becausa
it may produce an allergy.
Sieved meats and pinto
beans (sieved or mashed with
a fork after the skins are re
moved) also are good sources
of iron. Cereals prepared
especially for infants usually
have iron added. Oatmeal
cereals contain more thiamine
than other types.
