A playing card identified the package for the "president, Mrs. Richard Card, and another gift was labeled, "To a gal who's always flying high." This was for Mrs. Clin ton Neelcy, who has taken flying up as a hobby. Names for next year's secret listers were drawn: each name was in a small Christmas ornament.

(Procter & Gam ble, Cincinnati, Ohio.) ardess didn't. In the old days, a tlygirl s outlit closely resem bled a burlap sack with wings attached. More recently, the uniforms generally carried a military air with too much se verityand in most cases, not much room for movement. But for the last two or three years, the airlines have been turning to top fashion designers for new stewardess outfits. Hol lywood's Edith Head designed Delta's. Raymond Locwy did TWA's and Air France's were the product of Christian Dior.1 Oleg Cassini was commissioned to .create National's new uni forms. Deciding to change the girls' working clothes seems to be as big a task as figuring out what new planes to buy. Western, another carrier which recently changed uniforms, considered 20 designs and took 15 months to make up its corporate mind. ino Ideas Frontier decided to let ils own stewardesses design their uniforms. It asked its 100 girls for suggestions and nulurally got back 100 different ideas. The airline took the three best designs and let the stewardess es vote their choice. United, the nation's biggest carrier, was the latest to re outfit its stewardess corps, a decision affecting more than 2. 300 young ladies. Exempting the armed forces, that adds up to the biggest uniform change over in the United States and one costing more than $500,000 for design and manufacture. Unilcd's move was prompted by the same motives of other airlines to keep up wilh fash ion developments, hand the girls a morale booster, and give passengers something new to look at. There also was the clement of complaints from the steward esses themselves. The gripes were unofficial but they largely centered around the tendency of the old winter uniforms which dated back to 1957 to spot or get dirty too easily. They also were hard to work in, because the rather tight design was binding on arm movements. Roberta Conahan, UAL's pur chasing agent, diplomatically says the girls "showed only the normal dissatisfaction of any women wearing the same clothes for any considerable pe riod of time." But she concedes that while stewardesses never were formally consulted on new uniforms, the views they had expressed to supervisors gave United a pretty good idea of what thev wanted. 'Wanted Blue For example, UAL knew from the start that the steward esses wanted blue outfits in- D 11 stead of the old beige, they wanted a looser-fitting garment, they wanted a material that re sisted spots and dirts, but they wanted to retain the old style hat. All these wishes were translated into realitv when Book About Hetty Green Is Reviewed choice between two, and finally j selected one by fashion expert Ben Reig a bright blue outfit! made entirely of wool. j ASHLAND - "The Day They Like other airlines which ; ci,k ,. , ' ' ' changed uniforms.

Early uniform dates back to 1931. (UPI Photo) said one UAL cabin attendant.

Because of the high turnover rate among the flygirl profes sion, the carriers can't afford to pick up the whole tab for uniforms. In United's case, It was charged nearly $180 for an out. fit including a jacket, skirt, three blouses, hat and topcoat. Each, stewardess' share was about $80. A stewardess of brief tenure who had bought the old beige uniform only recently was given a discount, the size depending on when she began flying. United's girls came up with a fine gesture when the bcige-to-bluc change was affected. They donated their old uni forms to the Doolcy Foundation, which is distributing them to Southeast Asia orphans. United hopes it has planned against any contingencies, such as the emergency encountered by British Overseas Airways Corp. (BOAC). BOAC equipped its gals wilh new uniforms a bit tighter than usual. From the standpoint of pulchritude, no body complained. But there is a law of physics which says things expand at high altitudes including waists. BOAC had to order new skirts with an clastic side panel and a two-button waist adjuster. rum, slavery, whaling, Indian trading and questionable deal ings came to its final disbutsc mcnt in 1052 when 119 persons wore recipients of the ill famed Hetty Green millions. The story is a pitiful and shocking account full of statistics and details. The author traces the How land family from 1624 through the centuries, painting a pic ture of perjury and pernurious ncss climaxed by thhe bizarre Hetty and her son and daughter, whom she ruled and ruined. More than $100 million was dis bursed on "The Day They Shoo!; the Plum Tree." The selected subject was giv en by Mrs. Osgood who showed colored slides of Europe, most ly in Bavaria, whore her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Rice, vacationed while stationed in Germany with the U. S. Army. Fertile valleys, clean villages, towering moun tains and fairy-like castles were among the scenes shared. The young couple also visited Eng land and Scotland, where Mrs. Osgood was born and lived as a child. Mrs. Bess Sommer conduct ed the mcetir..; and at the close of the afternoon the hostess served tea before the fireplace. Now the girls are happier but the passengers occasionally may yearn for the good old days. CENTRAL ' oial . 773-5171 PARK I SHOP SILVER DOLLAR STAMPS ADD FED.
