The Ken nedy look, as e v e r y 0 no's calling it, has cv Pauley caught on so rapidly that one model agency head observed wryly, "We blondes arc through - at least for the next six months." It was Candy Jones speak ing. Miss Jones, an ex-model who heads her own organiza tion, said the demand for look alikes of the 31-ycar-old Mrs. Kennedy is "incredible."

Copying of Mrs. Kennedy's hairdo, her makeup, her clothes - even her posture, which Miss Jones called the "deb slouch of old" - has reached such a point that one manufacturer of store window mannequins has created rep licas of both the next presi dent and first lady. Brunettes in Demand Mrs. Kennedy look-alikes in the modeling world are having a field day with bookings and most agencies without wide eyed brunettes on their roster are looking for them. One of the models doing a rush business is a newcomer to New York - Eugenia Mc Linn, a native of Birmingham, Ala., who grew up In Miami and arrived on the New York scene seven months ago. She signed up with the Frances Gill Agency and since Novem ber 8 has been booked steadily- , : i "We gdt calls for Kennedy types from publicity people, photographers, ad agencies, the magazines, the people put ling on fashion shows," said Attely Craig, a spokesman for Gill. A cheek of various other cities showed the demand for look-alike models less wide spread than demand for the Kennedy bob at beauty shops. Hair Style Copied The Helena Rubinstein salon in Washington reported customer requests for Mrs. Kennedy's hair style began during the campaign. ' In Boston fashion leaders agreed that the Kennedy "look" would be a major trend, with the haircut the first to be copied. .

The story quoted one of the group as saying that the Jackson county court indicated "that a stadium is a possibility if enough people want it. If the members of the court would like to hear from people who want a stadium, perhaps they would also like to hear from citizens who don't want a stadium. Potpourri is one. Or maybe we should say we don't want public money spent on a stadium until money has been spent on buildings and projects which we consider more important. School rooms, for instance. Some of our teacher friends tell us about classes being held in the corners of gymnasiums, or in other make-shift quarters. If Jackson county doesn't have enough money to build sufficient classrooms for the children to attend school, then it doesn't have enough money for a stadium. How about a much-needed nursing home to care for the aged? About a year or so ago this reporter accompanied the members of the county court on a tour of nursing homes Some are adequate some are definitely not. We learned from welfare workers that the county is really in need of larger, newer, more modern quarters where the aged can be cared for under safe and comfortable circumstances. If there is not enough money in Jackson county to adequately care for the aged, then there is not enough for a stadium. How about an auditorium where concerts, plays and lec tures could be given? Last Monday night several hundred members and guests of Jackson County Civic Music associa tion went to Hedrick Junior High school to watch a per formance by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Now, Hedrick High school auditorium is also the school gymnasium. It prob ably is a fine gymnasium, but it's- a miserable excuse for an auditorium. The patrons last Monday night had to choose between taking a chair on the floor, from where it was difficult if not impossible to see the performers, or sitting in the bleach ers. The auditorium at Medford High school has a sloping floor, but the stage is too small for many productions, and events, including a dance troupe or a large symphony orches tra. The stage at Hedrick school is large, but the acoustics in the gymnasium are frightful. So, this citizen and reporter believes that if Medford and Jackson county cannot afford an adequate civic auditorium it cannot afford a stadium. And it won't do a bit of good to tell us how many more thousands are interested in sports than in music or drama or lectures. Roy Harris, writing in International Musician in March, 1959, reported that there are more than a thousand symphony orchestras in the United States, and that citizens of this nation spend more money every year on music to say nothing of the theater or on lecture' programs, than on sports. An article in the Wall Street Journal several months ago reported that in 1959 there were 700 groups in the United States producing opera having grown to that number from 275 such groups in but five years. We believe that first things come first, and that a stadium should not be considered until we meet our schools' class room needs, until we have proper nursing homes or hospitals for the aged and until we have an adequate civic auditorium.
