Mosher, president of Chapter CG, has appointed Mrs. Earl Johnson, and Mrs. H. C. Drew, Chapter CP president, has appointed Mrs. S. V. Mc Queen to assist. Each year the Medford chapters celebrate the found ing of the PEO Sisterhood. The actual founding took place January 21, 1869, when seven girls attending Iowa Weslcyan university in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, advanced the idea of a sisterhood to perpetuate their friendship long after college days were over. Although it still maintains as its first interest, friendship and cultural activities, educa tional projects have been add ed through the years. Its re volving loan fund for girls started In 1007, totaling near ly $1,000,000, lias through the years helped more than 12,600 girls, with loans totaling $5,- 700,000. Three hundred sev enty-five of these loan fund girls have been Oregonians. PEO also owns and main tains its own Junior college for women at Cotley college, Ne vada, Mo. The enrollment this year is 350. The newest phase of the sisterhood's educational pro gram is an international peace scholarship project started in 1040 to give tangible expres sion to the PEOs' belief that education is fundamental to world peace and understand ing. Since then 557 scholar ships, totaling more than S420.000, have been awarded. This year two PEO interna tional peace scholarship stu dents are registered in Ore gon schools.

Tor instance: One group of ensembles consisted of abstract print Jackets, in silk, about hip length; solid color dress beneath, and hat and purse a repeat of the jacket print. Nearly every one of the 30 plus designers in the couture group included the dress and coat ensemble for both day time and evening wear come spring and summer. Herbert Sondhoim showed silk and linen blended coats of solid shades, lined with the prints of the dresses which completed the costumes. Davlclow, a house famous for its classic line suits, used splashy prints to line jackets worn over dresses or with skirts of solid shade worsted Some better "inside story' stuff came from Paul Panics, whose . designer Benl Claire used scarf linings for suit Jackets. Claire used the bor ders of the scarves as well as the body of the material for an unusual effect. Coals in all the new col lections came in two major silhouettes. One was plump, the other lean. A leading exponent of the voluminus silhouette In coats was Originala, which featured several with bat-wing, cape like dimensions. Highlights of other collec tions shown Wednesday: Harvey Berin - Designer Karen Stark continued her 'walking stick" silhouette for daytime, a pencil-slim cut dress especially flattering to the young figures of white collar girls. Ceil Chapman - The design er best known for her evening clothes bared more shoulder than knee. Shoulders were ex posed fore and aft, with dip ping necklines. Collar bones abounded. Rudolf Gowns - This house, which makes late day and evening wear also, offered a scries of "naked" wools, one way of describing the new sheer fabrics almost as airy cheesecloth. Each dress fashioned in the sheer wools was lined in China silk. Sil houettes were about evenly divided between slim and full, but in either case the waist line always was defined.

Dr. Fowler, an opthiiimolo gist, will speak on "The Ef fects of Television on "Chil dren." Hahy sitting service will be provided during the meeting. A c:ft- will ! vn to Dick West, who writes "The Lighter Side" for United Press, says lightly that he thinks the fashion industry has "just sold us a bill of goods." Well, Potpourri often thinks so, but not on the same basis that Mr. West does Here Is what Mr. West has to say; The thing that I have been ogling with the old fish-eye Is the recently published list of the worlds 12 best-dressed women of 1960. I can't help feeling that the selection was not entirely on the up-and-up The winners, we are told, were picked by 2,000 fashion experts and observers who participated in an international poll conducted by the Now York Couture Group, It was, we also are told, the collective judgment of those polled that the best-dressed list should be headed by Mrs John F. Kennedy, wife of the U.S. president-elect. Now I am not suggesting that the poll was rigged. 1 credit the New York Couture Group with being more ethical than certain television quiz show producers. Nor am I suggesting that Mrs. Kennedy didn't deserve the honor. I might have voted for her myself if I had been consulted in the matter. Nevertheless, there are certain factors involved which make me wonder whether the 1960 list was chosen in the spirit of Impartial, unbiased, scientific accuracy For one thing, Mrs. Kennedy, who has patronized the best designers for years, had never been on the list before. What additions did she suddenly make to her wardrobe to place her at the top of the heap'! For another thing, during much of I960 Mrs. Kennedy was In what the gossip columnists describe as an "interesting condition" and rarely appeared in public. That being the ease, how did those 2,000 fashion experts, particularly the ones in other countries, get a line 611 her clothing? And were maternity dresses considered in the competition? When one ponders these questions for a moment, one is prompted to raise still more inquiries, which the couture group will perhaps be kind enough to answer. Suppose that Mrs. Kennedy's husband had lost the presi dential election. Would she still have been the best-dressed woman? Or would that distinction have gone to Pat Nixon? 1 do not like to think that the fashion world would be Influenced by the possibility that Mrs. Kennedy's name might have a certain publicity value. So I hope someone will do something to erase my nagging doubts. 1 would like to be reassured that the fashion world is still a bastion of Integrity, despite the Invention of falsies. Mr. West, writing lightly or otherwise, just doesn't know his fashion facts of life. Mrs. Kennedy, before she was Mrs. Kennedy, was known for her chic, and had served as a fashion model, unprofessionnlly, of course. While she had never been among the top 12 of the best-dressed list, she had been among those nominated In recent years. As for her "interesting condition" last year, many women who arc "ladies-in-waiting" make an extra effort to appear at their best during those months, and succeed. Perhaps other men at United Press arc not as fashion conscious as they should be, cither. When It was announced that Mrs. Kennedy headed the list, the unflattering wire photo of her that accompanied the story was a couple of vears old and when a protest was entered, the explanation was "it was the onlv file photo we had of Mrs. Kennedy wearing a formal gown." Since when is a well-dressed woman Judged only on the basis of the evening clothes in her ward robe. However, we did wonder, along witli Mr. West, If Mrs Nixon wouitj have been chosen if her husband was beit Inajiifiratcd this motuTi, instc; of Mr. Kennedy.

(UPI Telephoto) 4 Mrs. Kennedy Chooses Press Aide Palm Beach, Fla. - IUP0 - Mrs. John F. Kennedy shifted her "press worries" today to the shoulders of a politically trained young woman. She is Miss Pamela Turnure, a former secretary on the sen atorial staff of President-elect John F, Kennedy. Miss Turnure, a New York er, was picked by Mrs. Kenne dy to be her press spokesman the White House, and she confesses the prospect is still "a bit overwhelming." The pretty, brown-haired new first lady press secretary falls into the tradition of youth that typifies the Ken nedy administration. She once wanted to be an interior dec orator, but she found that pol itics was more alluring. She learned the big news Wednesday when she paid a call on Jacqueline Kennedy at her winter vacation home here. "We talked about taking over her press worries," Miss Turnure said in an interview with a UPI reporter. The next first lady has been besieged with requests for interviews. But she has turned them down during her recuperative period from the Caesarean birth of her son, John Jr., November 26. Miss Turnure, who is as tall as her boss, 5 feet, 5 inches, and slender, has a rep utation for looking chic in her clothes. When interview ed she was wearing an olive green wool with turquoise beads.
