Good Fashion Lack Appalled By Reds' By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPD—Mamie Eisenhower’s milliner is back from Russia with the news that the ‘‘lack of good fashion is appaling.” ; ■ ’ 1 * Mrs. Sally Victor found Soviet women anxious to see American styles, anxious to try on the allover floral hats which were a hit with U.S. women this spring and summer, and amazed at American hat makers’ methods of keeping a hat on—with the tiny combs set inside the band and pushed firmly into the hair. “The women aren’t nearly as hat conscious as we are,” said Mrs. Victor. “I guess they’re just supposed to pave streets, not wear hats.” The milliner took with her, on an 11-day visit to Moscow and Leningrad, 18 of her own designs. First she showed them to salesgirls and executives at GUM, the state-owned department store in Moscow, and then left them as •gifts for “Americans and Russians who were especially helpful on the trip. “The women oh’ed, ah’ed and .touched, she said. “A woman loves pretty things, no matter where she is. “The flowered wig hat ... I wore one of pink rose petals ... was the biggest hiU she said. “And all those jingly bracelets we American women wear created quite a stir among the Russians. “But I found the lack of good fashion appalling, she said. “And how I wished I was in the corset business! The women need girdles in the worst way. Mrs. Victor returned also with the news that “the trip is wortn it, just for the caviar. All you can eat at most restaurants for $1.30.” I She also returned with a theme Ifor her fall collection, shown this week. The milliner copied Soviet cossacks, cathedral spires and hats once worn by Catherine the Great.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER . MICHIGAN SIRENS Dick Macklin and Herb Banning had a good time while with the Explorer Scouts at the Rifle river in Michigan. They showed the youngsters a thing or two about canoeing, too. The boys all started out with a rush, but Dick and Herb just took it easy. Enroute, they passed several of the canoes on the band while the boys rested or took a swim. The two just floated on. They ended up the second, canoe to finish the 50-mile tpip, I only two minutes behind the first. place canoe. On the trip, they got i stuck in one place on some rocks. I They were about to get out and' push, when two young women hail-' cd them from the shore, and said ; they would push them off the. rocks. The girls wadded out and got the job done. We’ve heard of mermaids luring boats onto the rocks, but this is the first time we've heard of them pushing boats off. * LAST BLAST This may be the last year area folks have the opportunity to see a fireworks display at the Drive-in theater. The majiager says every year the crowd inside gets smaller | and the,crowd lining the highway gets bigger. It’s bad enough that these free-loaders don't come in and help pay for the expensive i fireworks, but when they start 1 honking their horns from impatence, that's too much. ROCK ’N ROLL RESCUE John Sheets, Donna McKean and Jeanne Aeschlman galloped to the’ rescue Tuesday night at the record hop. Gordon Young, a popular (?) singer from Fort Wayne, came down to the hop and pushed a couple of records by mouthing them from the stand. After he was done—shades of Elvis—the crowd started to mob him. The three local folks finally got to him and ushered Young away before he was torn limb from vocal cords. ' Congratulations to the three—but ; who's Gordon Young. Signed, A. Square. . . 30 WHAT’LL YOU HAVE Dave Moore got quite a kick looking through the oldest catalog brought into the Sears Roebuck store before the Sidewalk Sale. The book was entered by Mrs. Mary Jane Runyon. In the book were such hot catalog items as tombstones, pot-bellied stoves and organs. One item Dave got quite a kick out of was a carat and a half diamond ring of $l5O. Seems like inflation is here. Think it’s hard to give away a common item? Dave had free ice water for the ; thirsty folks on the sidewalks, and/ said he got rid of 250 gallons. Must be a lot of heavy drinkers around. THIS IS LIVING Roy Kalver brought up a clever one during the course of a con--1 versation one a'fternon. Mr. Kalver had read a poll taken recently by a magazine asking Americans what appliance or household item they thought was the most valuable to them. Television (excuse the dirty word, Roy) sets led the list. Next in line was the refrigerator. Way down the list was the good old family bed. Mr. Kalver said it brought a picture to mind of future generations—lying on the floor, eating cold beans and watching television. ANYONE INTERESTED? Rev. Harold Bond, of the First Presbyterian church, got a letter looking for homes for ten foreign students. Rev. Bond realizes that Decatur has an exchange student every year, sponsored by the Rotary club, and thought maybe someone else would be interested,

ANOTHER MEDIA Had a real good time Tuesday evening talking with the folks from WOWO as they put on their program P.M. from the Democrat office. They really have a lot of fun. Hilda Woehrmeyer, publicity director, Bill Wolfe, engineer, and program director, Marvin Hunter, Jack Underwood and Perry Steckbeck were all living it up. Guess the folks in radio are about as wild as newspaper people. Must be the constant deadline that does it. Anyway, they sure like people. They would take time to talk with everyone. A radio program like that is no easy thing to produce, but Bill Wolfe seemed to take it in stride. He spent more time talking with folks than Marv Hunter. Still, everything went smooth. It alsoi gave Decatur a lot of publicity. | They have a program outline, but stick to it about as close as Bob Hope and Bing Crosby used to stick to a radio script. (For the benefit of the youngters who never had the privilege of hearing Hope and Crosby together, they spent most of a program ad libbing.) The timing was perfect, though. It's a tribute to their skill and ability. Hope to see them around our town again soon. VACATION As you read this, my wife, two sons. Jim Reidenbach and myself are speeding as fast as the law and the syncopatin’ six will allow, toward the west. We have tents, and are traveling toward the wilds of western Colorado for two weeks of concentrated loafing. This column will take a vacation for one week. Will mail back one for a week from next Saturday. There’s one place I‘m particularly anxious to see. The town of Crested Butte is one of the few places left in the world that still has two-story backhouses. Seems the second floor is for winter when the snow gets too deep to use the ground floor. Necessity is the mother of invention. Berne's Community Chest Names Heads l , - Four directors for the Berne community chest were elected Thursday evening. Newly elected member is Fred Kirsch, and the three re-electd directors are Ralph Beer, Merlin K. Sprunger, and Mrs. Carl Muselman. The terms are for three years, and each year four directors are elected, to make a board of twelve. Brice Bauserman, president of the organization, has announced that an organization meeting will held Monday evening, July 20, in the directors room of the First Bank of Berne, when new officers will be elected and tenative plans laid for this year's campaign, which will probably be in October.
