Proceeds from the event go to the club's scholarship fund which is one of two projects car ried on by the organization of classified business and profes sional women. During the sum mer season of Shakespeare Sor optimists maintain a blanket and pillow rental booth on the theater grounds to raise funds for a scholarship given to a member of the festival company. The downstairs lounge of the Elks lodge was the setting for the annual style show which pre sented 23 models wearing ap parel from seven Ashland shops. They appeared against a back ground of gaily wrapped goal posts and baskets of pompon chrysanthemums. Organ music was played by Mrs. Lucille Wil liamson. Anhland High school Rally Girls, wearing red plaid skirts and red sweaters, opened the pre game activity with a foot ball pep routine. Club president, Mrs. Louise Walters, welcomed the spectators before introduc ing Dr. Irene Hollenbeck, who called the plays and commented on the line-up. Emphases on College During the first half the theme was collegiate with emphasis on youth and the casual and sports looks. Capris, stretch pants and storm wear of the sort suitable for sideline spectators or for active enthusiasts were model ed. In the sportlight were ski costumes in anticipation of the winter opening of Ashland's mountain recreation area. Plaids predominated in many color combinations for both sex es. Togetherness keynoted a col lege couple attired alike in red and black plaid slack suits. The layered look of over-jack et or over blouse is popular. Boots and boot shoes are a must it seems in the young wardrobe, and turtle necks have returned from the past along with larger, looser sweaters faintly reminis cent of the Sloppy Joes of the 1940's. Three men took off time from their studies at Southern Oregon college to appear in the latest of sports, daytime and evening wear. Hairilmc Activities Halftime activities included the appearance of the Firo- house Five. The fellow musici ans dedicated their number Wondeful One" to Raoul Mad- dox's daughter. Amy, who was born that evening. The local in strumentalists in addition to Mr. Maddox are David Fortmiller, Robert Rheinholdt, Richard Cot tle and David Wight. During the second half femin inity was more evident in the casual clothes for afternoon and evening wear. Although simple lines still hold first place sheaths and shifts seem to have softened somewhat and some are even belted. "The Little Suit" is destined to be a winter favorite as it comes in many versions and fabrics. Tweeds, ribbon knits and sheer wools are practical as well as pretty for almost any occasion. Coats have an im portant place in this season's styles and are oilhor strictly lailored or elegantly furred. Light wciRlit wool atter-five frocks feature pastel cotton bro cades and the ever - popular white. Many are accessorized with costume jewelry of splashy big shoulder pins and wide band bracelets. All costumes of the current season reflect modera tion. Cranberry lied Cranberry is the 196.1 name for flame red that once was known as Christmas led. It is I definitely the season's new col or and was shown in coats, suits and dresses. It outranks black and white in popularity and flat ters both blonds and brunettes. Other shades with strange names are thoroughbred blue, peacock, roast chestnut and al mond. It was evident that hats are "in" again and may be anything from a miniature feather cap or a wisp of veiling with a touch of mink to a Cleopatra tall top per or a droopy brimmed vel vet cloche. Turbans, berets and hoods complement sports out fits. But for the most part Wed nesday night's models were hat- less and showed simplified hair styles. This fashion fan's impression from the sidelines was that al most anything goes, providing it is slim and simple. Gone are fancy furbelows along with tucks, pleats, gathers and float ing scarfs. The new winter look, according to Ashland arbiters, is "casual classic." At the conclusion of the sec ond half when the final whistle sounded after - game refresh- ments were served at individual tables centered with footballs and high school and college pen. nants. Chairmen Noted Mrs. Carol Sharp was general chairman of the Fall Kick-Off and hostesses were the club's past presidents under the lead crship of Mrs. Frances Worth, Mrs. Waunita Herndobler and Mrs. Ida Dysert were co-chairmen of the program committee.

Ashland Women Will Be 98 Years Old Tomorrow ASHLAND In the spacious two story house at 115 North Main street Mrs. William S. Van Dyke will celebrate her ninety eighth birthday Tuesday, Octo ber 8, by rising early as usual, preparing breakfast for her son Hairy, and then doing the regu lar ironing. Mrs. Van Dyke is a firm believer in the weekly schedule of Monday wash, Tuesday iron, etc. An advance celebration was held Sunday when her family gathered for a birthday dinner at the Klamath Falls home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Chesliegh (Helen) Moore. Mrs. Van Dyke's only regret was having to miss the World Wide communion service at her church, the First Presby terian church of Ashland, where she has been a member for 62 years. Mary Mathes Van Dyke, whose parents settled on gov ernment donation land, was born October 8, 1865 in a cabin built from trees on the farm. Until recently the house remain ed as a landmark southeast of Phoenix. Her father, William Mathes, traveled from Pennsyl vania by wagon train to Oregon, arriving in 1852. Nine years la ter he returned to marry and bring back his bride, Christine Riddel!, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. Recalls Hard Winters Mrs. Van Dyke has vivid rec ollections of the long hard win ters of her childhood when bliz zards were followed by floods that turned Bear Creek into a hazardous torrent: Her eyes twinkle as she tells of the day in 1884 when she and all of the pupils "played hook ey" to see the first steam en gine arrive on the new railway tracks, excitedly certain that "the thing was going to blow up." She recalls the visits of Fath er Moses Williams, Presbyteri an missionary, who established the Jacksonville, Ashland and Phoenix churches, and of his hard and fast rule never to drive anywhere after dark. All weddings and services had to be conducted in daylight. Mary Mathes1 marriage to William S. Van Dyke, also of pioneer parentage, took place on the Phoenix homestead in December 1887. For 13 years the couple raised stock in the val ley and in 1900 moved to Ash land. Children Listed Four of the five children born to them are living. Mr. Van Dyke and their oldest daughter, Mrs. Ruth Davis, died some years ago. Harry, the oldest son, makes his home with his mother. William lives in Ash land, Fred in Talent, and Hel en (Mrs. Moore) resides in Klamath Falls. Mrs. Van Dyke's only grandson, Dr. Herbert Davis, is a pediatric specialist in Kansas City, and her one granddaughter, Mrs. Barbara Mast, makes her home in Spo kane, Wash. She has nine great grandchildren. Her church and home have Mrs. Van Dyke's chief interests, first as a young girl in the Phoenix Presbyterian church and later when she transferred her membership to the First Presbyterian church of Ashland in 1901. Until the old church building on North Main street was torn down two years ago there were few meetings that Mrs. Van Dyke missed. Now she finds it harder to be a regular attendant at services in the new church more than a mile from her home. Her great est disappointment is in not be ing able to hear the sermons or music as she could before in the old sanctuary. The slender, erect little wom an with soft silver hair and hriiyM hlim vps finds nothing unusual in her full-time occupa tion of housework and garden ing and has no intention of hir ing help. To her 98 is still on the sunny side of 100, especial ly since she is the younger sis ter of Harry Mathes, who will celebrate his 101st birthday next month in San Francisco.
