Fall Fashion Kick-Off Is

ASHLAND More than 300
spectators and participants were
in their places Wednesday eve
ning when the opening whistle
sounded for the 1963 Fall Fash
ion Kick-Off sponsored by the
Ashland Soroptimist club.
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.

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.
