10 A. Women's News Sccial Events Germany's Teen-Agers Admire Dr. Schweitzer By JOHN PARRY United Press International Frankfurt, Germany - MFD -Germany's teen-agers, often criticized as irresponsible and Ignorant of the crimes of the nation's Nazi past, aren't as bad as they've been painted, according to results of a re cent study. The Bavarian state radio network asked 550 teen-agers to answer two questions in a poll: Is there a personality in the past or present whom you ad- Hostess 'Covering7 Convention By HELEN THOMAS : United Preu International S ' Chicago - fDPD - Washington hostess Perle Mesta, who's de voted to the Democrats, show ed up today for the Republi can national convention. But she said she's here . "strictly as a working girl." Looking every inch the wealthy matron that she is, .rather than the career girl she 'claims to be, Mrs. Mesta dis counted any thought that her presence at the GOP conclave could mean a political switch. - Since she voted for Repub lican presidential nominee Wendell Wlllkie in 1940, Mrs. Mesta at times has been called "two-party Perle." But, there is no doubt that her heart be longs to the Democrats." . Radio News Commentator ...Party-giver Perle is "cover ing" the convention as a radio news commentator. She also appeared in Chicago to testily for an equal rights plank in the GOP platform. The pro posal would bar discrimina tion against women on the basis of sex. Since she checked into the Blackstone hotel, Mrs. Mesta has been kidded about being a "spy" by long-time Republi can friends. She was accom panied by her blonde Repub lican sister, Mrs. George Ty son of Lake Tahoe, Calif. Don't Talk Politics The two sisters reconcile their political differences by ' not talking politics." Mrs. Tyson was in Los Angeles with Mrs. Mesta and pitched in as a hostess at the brunch Perle gave in honor of Sen. and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson. ' Mrs. Mesta, "hostess with the mostes'," wanted Johnson to get top place on the Demo cratic ticket. She was one of the few close friends Johnson called to pass along the word that he would accept Sen. John F. Kennedy's offer of the vice presidential nomination. Mrs. Mesta has made no at tempt to conceal her dis pleasure with the ticket the Way it stands. But she insists she is still a "Democrat." Village Has All Weddings at Once '-: Cairo TOPD At the foot of the Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza lies'" a village of some two thousand persons who throw all the year's engage ments into one big marriage. ' The village is caller) Nalet El-Semman (Quails' roost). It lives on tne trade of guiding tourists around the Pyramids and the Sphynx. One night every year the village stages a mass wedding lor all engaged couples. This spring, 109 couples were wed. ; The Moslem marriage sheikh conducted one rpre. mony after another for six hours without a break. - In earlier years, each bride rode a camel to her matri monial homo. The bridegroom, -beaming In "Knndnv" fnUa and silk scarf, walked before tne camel, his friends sur rounding him with bouquets and burning candles. a This year, cars replaced camels. . But the men, , sur rounded by their friends, kept walking in front of the cars. The villagers refuse to mar- ry on any day other than the anniversary nf thn ripnih nf Sheikh El-Semman, the found er oi tne town. Changes In Store r; Burlington, Vt. -TO- Uni versity of Vermont human re lations expert Dr. Dalton Ver non says "in the next 50 years our children will be caught up In a mighty tide of change. 1 "They will be so rapid and dramatic that the pace today will seem like the pony ex press compared with an ICBM taking off from a launching pad. Parents should encourage their children to explore and master the world around them," he said, i mire in particular? If so, whom? Is there a personality in the past or present whom you par ticularly dislike? If so, whom? Of the 550 interviewed - students, apprentices, skilled workers, laborers, college graduates and high school seniors - one in four men tioned Dr. Albert Schweitzer as the Ideal personality. Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany at the time all the young persons interviewed were born, was the most widely mentioned "negative" personality. Hitler Disliked The selection of Hitler as the person most widely dis liked was regarded as signifi cant. For, in recent outbreaks of anti-Semitic acts in Ger many, schools were criticized for not teaching the evils of the Nazi era. Many young Germans, ac cording to one often - heard criticism, thought Hitler's main claim to fame was that he built the autobahns - the network of high-speed free ways which links major Ger man cities. The youngsters interviewed in the Bavarian poll - their ages ranged from 15 to 24 - showed that Hitler s crimes were well known. The poll contrasted sharply with simi lar samplings of public opin ion taken by other organiza tions in 1953 among people of the same age group. Two polls then showed Hit ler ranked second among the most admired. Most of those who chose Schweitzer said their de cision was based on admira tion for the jungle doctor's humane qualities. Alter Schweitzer, the per sonality most admired by the young people was West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Ade nauer. A 15-year-old girl wrote: "He takes care of us and watches over everything so that we are well off." Family Returns After Extended Vacation Tour Eagle Point-Mr. and Mrs. Burton Jensen and children, Aedene, Charlet, Jimmy and Joey, have returned home from a 4,100-mile automobile trip during which they vis ited relatives and went sight seeing.

The family con tinued to Livingstone. Mont., where they visited the ranch where Mr. Jensen was born and reared. He noted that one of the bunkhouses and two of the granaries his grand father built of logs, still re mained standing.

The use of furs for lining, mtim for trim, and :"t for the whole garment - ? abounds new collec- nm w -. u tions. And where the use of the real skin is im- Gu Pauley lakes take over. Many furs are handled like fabric. Sometimes the whole costume is of fur, and it's a rare better dress firm on Sev enth avenue, the city's gar ment district, without at least one all black broadtail cos tume in its collection. Other firms play up the "casual but elegant" look when for instance white ermine is used for the cami sole bodice of a full-skirted brocade evening dress. Luis Estevez, one of eight designers who showed fall col lections Wednesday to report ers in town for the couture group's semi - annual press Group Attends Calgary Stampede Hornbrook - Mrs. Bertha Bradley returned last week end from a 10-day vacation trip north.

Hornbrook Couple Entertains Pair From Capetown Hornbrook - Visitors Tues day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henley Clawson wore Mrs. Clawson's sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Kraft, Coiton, Calif., and their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Kraft, Capo town, South Africa.

MEDFORD MAIL week, used broadtail lavish ly, but dyed it a cocoa beige. Estevez planted one white mink pocket on an at-home costume of jet velvet. Bare Shoulder Look The designer produced more than his usual quota of dangerously low necklines, and also came up with the bare shoulder look for fall -only one shoulder covered in a group of evening dresses. His "wing" neckline consisted of two enormous stiffened points of fabric shooting sky ward at the shoulders, while the back of the dress was com pletely bare. Fur and fabric merged also at Originals, a firm making coats only. A full coat of vicuna was trimmed with a cape collar and tuxedo front of a yellow -red fox called golden glory. Fabric news: A chinchilla fleece with a pile thick enough to give it the texture of the fur for which it was named. The full coat dominated at Originalla, but there were sev eral stem-straight silhouettes. The Samuel Winston collec tion ranged from simple day time dresses to ball gowns sequined from collar bone to floor. A theater suit in black broadtail, with black satin vestee, was priced to retail at about $800. Different Jacket Lengths Winston's designer Roxane showed four jacket lengths on suit and dress-jacket costumes. These were the rounded bo lero, the bulky waist-length jacket, the straight fingertip length, and the seven eighth which just about turned a jacket into a coat. Several coat dresses followed the fit ted, princess silhouette. Designer Anne Klein for junior sophisticates also let the fur fly - although she didn't have it dripping from every collar as some designers do. She did several ponchos in bla;k muskrat and a ches terfield tailored, single breast ed coat with concealed but tons in jaguar, one of the several spotted furs the Amer ican designers love for fall. Two of Miss Klein's trade marks - turtle neck sweaters or gilets, and capes - showed repeatedly. The turtle necks, usually white, were paired with wintry grays and browns. The capes, some re versible, were shown with turtle neck sweaters and matching skirts, or with dress es matching the linings. Button-Pushing The button -pushing mania has moved into the bedroom. The bedroom button activates an electrically- con tro 1 1 e d mechanism used in place of a standard box spring. When the unit's in place, you can change the position of the bed with a flick of a switch. You can contour it into positions for rending, writing, eating, television watching or just sleeping. At full contour height, the user's head is ele vated at a 70 decree angle; his feet are five inches above the hips. ' Painting Furniture East Lansing, Mich.
