White House Includes Elaborate Heating By ROSE McKEE Washington - If the young children of President-Elcct and Mrs. John F. Kennedy catch cold, it should not be because of drafts or chill in the White House. The executive mansion now has the most modern and elab orate equipment for keeping all the rooms at an even tem perature - whether there are two or 2,000 persons in a room. Fine, new air condi tioning equipment provides the same comfort for torrid summer days. The new equip ment was put In during the Truman administration resto ration of the White House. Lorenzo S. Winslow, White House architect for 19 years which encompassed the re building period, said the fam ily rooms used to have steam heat and radiators.

Smith, immedi ate past president of Oregon Education Association. Quoting H. V. van Dyke; she continued. " 'The true ob- lect of education should be to train one to minK Clear ly and act right,' " in a talk to Medford brancn of Amer ican Association ot univer sity Women last Wednesday. Presented In tne nome or Mrs. Stuart V. McQueen, Mrs. Smith's speech was titled Education Washes the Win dows," and followed the branch s theme for the year, Windows to the World." Aft er graphically aescnoing American wealth in relation to the rest of the world, Mrs, Smith said, "We know as stated in Luke, 'Everyone to whom much is given, of him will much be required.' "In the coming years and generations, the faith of man kind will depend upon the United Stales, and especially upon American educators." Recalls Speech Mrs. Smith told of a speech by Charles Malik, then pres ident of the General Assem bly of the United Nations, at the St. Louis convention of the National Education As sociation. He said that respect, equality, humanity, love, and brotherhood abide at the base of American life and culture. It is possible, therefor, to hold that despite temptation and Restoration Were they as ugly as most old radiators?" he was asked by an interviewer from the National Association of Home Builders. "Worse," replied Winslow, a man of few but emphatic words. Even in its earliest days, the While House lacked some con veniences common to the pe riod. Mrs. John Adams, the second First Lady and the first to live in the White House, complained of the great difficulty in keeping fires go ing In the open grates "to se cure us' from the daily agues." She also described the lack of bells to call servants "to as sist us in this great castle." Many Complain Mrs. Adams wasn't the only occupant to complain of drafts and colds. President Andrew Jackson, referring to one area, reportedly remarked, "Hell itself couldn't heat that cor ner." Bui now all is snug and warm in winter. The public rooms on the ground and first floors-which are the ones open to tourists - have sepa rate healing, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. They are designed to provide com fort for as many as the 2,000 who might go through the big East room at large receptions. The family quarters on the other two floors have their own, similar equipment. Some of the heating and air condi tioning units have ducts large enough for two men to sit abreast in them. All the rooms are warmed by pre-hcalcd air, and the family rooms have hot water conveclors as well. They are concealed in the walls. While Mrs. Adams lacked bells to summon maids, the Kennedys should have no such communication problems. They will find intercom phones in their rooms. The White House also has an elaborate water supply, in cluding a separate chilled wa ter system for drinking foun tains. Carried Water When John Adams moved into the White House, water hud to be carried by hand from a spring in a park about six city blocks away. In 1883 a pipe was laid from the park to the White House to provide ; running water. It was not un , til 1850 that water was piped in from the Potomac river. Winslow said that when Mr. Kennedy wants to use the White House elevator, he will not have to wait - as did Pres ident Franklin D. Roosevelt on occasion - for domestic j employees to disembark from it, al times carrying linens, dishes, or olher household ar ticles. There Is now an ele- valor for the special Use of ' domestic help. ' Usually, Mr. Roosevelt did not have to wait, for when he I lefl his olfice in the West . Wing to go to the residential quarters, the Secret Service : signalled that he was on his i way, and the elevator was held. But now and then, Mr. Roosevelt would have to wail -or ride with the butler or other help, which, it is said, he did not mind doing. Tourists in Washington long ! have admired the While house lawns. Many are un aware thai under a section of the lawns on the Pennsyl vania avenue side of the While House are various roon such as a carpentry shop, an electrical repair difficulty and the dangers of complacency, ease, and com fort, America will in the end communicate with and win the heart and mind of the East. Ways in which our schools are already promoting better understanding of the world including stimulating interest in international relations, learning to enjoy artistic dif ferences, and learning to com municate, were described by Mrs. Smith. She also told how parents and other citizens can help. Concrete Meaning "We who know that all over the world peoples are striving for a new and full cr meaning of life, we must accept this most important challenge to give concrete meaning to the! idea of neigh- borliness. Physically we have spanned time and space with jet planes. Let us all decide that we must help develop the minds of men so that un derstanding, mutual respect and wisdom of action will also build bridges so that neigh bors may communicate and work together throughout the world," Mrs. Smith concluded. Assisting the hostess at the meeting were Mrs. Thomas McCamant, Mrs. S. C. Jones Jr., Mrs. Samuel Poirier, and Mrs. Ralph A. Wiese. The annual children's play sponsored by AAUW will be cnnclren's fantasy, "Many Moons," by James Thurber. Mrs. Dale C.

New Sheer Wools Described For Spring; Yellow Popular Los Angeles - New wool fabrics for spring and summer are said to be so sheer that the industry is calling them "nude wools." Some of the new fabrics are wool voiles, some are leno weaves-meshy and perhaps with a drop-stitch effect-others are spongy and may ap pear a little heavier llian they are, still others arc lacy and lofly. An entire dress may weigh less than a pound since the fabric weights range from around four ounces per yard in 3li-inch widths to six in 54-Inch widths. Among pat terned sheers are minute houndstooth checks, clear, open checks, small window panes, small bias plaids and others. The new woolen fabrics arc said to be practical; comfort able on a cool day with jacket, stole or coat, and equally so on a very warm day without. The natural absorbency of wool makes them especially well liked for warm weather wear as does Its built-in wrin kle reslstcnce. Yellow Popular Color is outstanding in Hie sheer wool dresses with sun ny yellows one of the favor ites. Strawberry pinks, clear periwinkle blue, lilac to vio let, shrimp pink to coral and orange, turquoise, Irish greens, navy and black are all available. While alone or combined with color is most important, as is pale beige, champagne, straw and other neutrals. The patterned fab rics are often in a color with white, as black and while, yel low and while, liac and white, etc. Dress styles tend to be sim ple and "ladylike." with soft, fluid lines predominating.! There's more than a hint of Influence from the 30s and those familiar with the 20s may also breathe a nostalgic sigh over some of tlie fashions. Overblouses, dropped waist lines, easy fit. tied bells and shop, a paint room, and a sl.ir at room now used lor lum ber. .Winslow Out that In the past, some of thQstnragc area was usen on occasion as a tern- nounced that Southern Ore- gon college players, directed by Dr. Dorothy Stolp, will give the play in Medford on February 7. Proceeds from it goes toward the fellowship fund. The next general meeting of AAUW will be the fellow ship luncheon February 18. Careers In Coloring Increasing Chicago - IUPD - Women with an eye for color can make it pay up to $15,000 a year, according to Mrs. Betty Scho enberg, national color coor dinator of a large mail order house s (Sears Roebuck & Co.) home furnishings lines. Mrs. Schoenberg's job is to advise her company on what colors to feature in upholstery, rugs, draperies and accesso ries. To do this, she must keep abreast of the changing tastes of homemakers, yet be able to recognize a color trend from a fad. In Mrs. Schoenberg's case, this ability stems from a nat ural talent for choosing pleas ing combinations of colors, plus both a college and pro fessional education in art, architecture and the theories of color. She called a natural sense of color even more im portant than education in its use. You have to be able to judge color the way the home- maker does, with her eyes, Mrs. Schoenberg said. Job's Increase According to Mrs. Schoen berg, there is an increasing number of jobs in her field, and women as well as men can get such jobs with furni ture manufacturers, fabric and rug mills. But many of the oppor tunities in this field have to be made," she said. She sug gested becoming an interior decorator as a start. 'After a decorating course a home economics college or professional art school, go to work in a department store," Mrs. Schoenberg ad vised. She began her career arranging table settings in a Chicago department store. She suggested making the break from interior decorat ing into color coordinating by taking a job with a manufac turer of furniture, fabrics or carpels. "You may be hired to ar range showrooms," she said. "But keep coming up with sound advice on color and the manufacturer may recog nize tlie need for a color co ordinator." sashes, apron effects, fitted hip-yokes with bloused tops and skirts straight or full, are included. More pleats than in many a season will be seen, ranging trom impressed or simple knife pleats to double knife or box types, also some of the loved sunburst pleats of an earlier period. Ease in skirls is very important. even in slim skirls, achieved through various gathers, folds and the like. New Necklines Necklines, often collarless, offer a wide range of oppor tunities for removable scarves, stoics, ascots and cowl drapes to be manipulated to the taste of tlie wearer. Standing bands cuffs, sailor and other collar types are also important In costumes the jackets are most often short, seldom long er than hipbone, and loose, with sleeves unmounted or mounted low on the shoulder, Some dresses have their own fingertip to full length coats, straight or swinging, light in weight and loose in fit. Some are of the same wool as the dress, others are combined with somewhat heavier wool ens, perhaps with a frosting of mohair, or a lightly brush ed fleece, a meshy basket weave. Some are paired with Chanel type jackets, some with capelets or capclet ef fects. Newsiest are those that combine contrasting or tone-on-lone rather than matching colors, such as bright pink touched with orange, or prim rose wilh green. In East Ashlaud-Mr. and Mrs. Bert E.
