| er, and the organist, Mrs. Lillian
Rockwell.
While it is impossible to describe
in detail all the beautiful gowns
that were modelled, two of them were
so outstanding that we went to the
trouble of getting some profession
al information about them. The
first, modelled by Miss Betty Lou
Stambaugh, of the Betty Lou Siam
baugh dance studio in Baltimore, was
delectable combination of glitter
ing mother of-pearl sequins and
snowy cotton lace over net and
crinoline. Frothy, fragile and fes-
tive-a frock born to dance! After
modelling this truly beautiful eve
ming gown, Miss Stambaugh step
ped down from the dais and pre-
scented a toe dance that was both
beautiful and graceful. The second
gown to strike us was an Ann
Fogarty dashing quilted cotton. This
was modelled by Miss Edna Lee Alt
water, also of Baltimore, who like
Miss Stambaugh, then thrilled the
audience with modern version of
the Charlestown, which really
brought down the house. Although
these two acts by professional
models were delightful, the out
standing part of the entire program
was unquestionably the modelling by
the wives of Kiwanians and also a
group of Kiwanians themselves.
In the latter group, who modelled
mems wear from Corderman and
Cottrills, the comedy relief was
provided by: Brewer Stouffer, as
sisted by Mr.. Grain, who gave a
screamingly funny parody of Lady
selecting a new dress; Franklin
Miller and Paul Fryer, who modelled
the latest in mems underwear; and
Park 10y as an old lady. The XII
Wanians who did the straight model
ing of mems attire were: John Mill
er, Robert Dean, Ray Hixson, Guy
Angle, Ralph Sharrett and Guy Kid
we'll.
The wives of Kiwanians who
modelled the latest creations ir
gowns from Kathleen's and shoes by
James Crawford of. Letter Brothers
were: Mrs. Ralph Sharrett, Mrs. E
Colbourne Jones, Mrs. Fred Wright
Jr., Mrs. Samuel Greenwalt, Mrs
Hunton P. Mills and Mrs. Preston
Howard.
. Following the program, which
lasted we'll over an hour, dancing was
enjoyed to the music of Al Shirey's
Orchestra of York, Pa.

The members of the Kiwanis Club,
their wives and guests-there were
more than two hundred present
who attended the clubs annual la
dies night dinner in the Ball Room
of the Hotel Alexander on Thurs
day night, were privileged to witness
one of the finest and most unusual
fashion and floor shows ever pre-
sented in Hagerstown.
The program was arranged, in its
entirety, by Mrs. Edwin F. Darner,
wife of the chairman of the social
Affairs Committee.

fessional Women's Club; and
Charles o. Hartsock, Kiwanis Dis
trict Lieutenant Governor, and Mrs.

Following a delicious turkey din
ner, President Daniels introduced
the guests and then turned the pro-
gram over to the master of cere-
monies, Charles Grain of New York
City. Mr. Grain, who appears reg
ularly on NBC television in radio,
was the director of the very popular
summer theatre at Bradock Heights
this year.
The fashion and style show, en-
titled FLASHES Of Fashions" was in
four acts-the first, showing mems
and womens' fashions in sports and
casual wear; the second, the correct
apparel for rainy weather; the third
the latest styles for men and women
for the daylight hours, and the fourth
and final chapter-the star act of the
show-the modelling of a beautiful
assembly of evening gowns.
In between the acts, musical en-
tertainment was provided by: Con
rad Richardson, of Camp DERRICK, ar
exceptionally good baritone; and the
Chem-Tones, a quartet from the
Chemical Corps at Camp DERRICK, the
members of which are-Jim Harper
Charles Williams, Frank Siler ano
Bill Benner. These four boys, sing
ing modern version of Barber ShoT
Quartets, were just about the best
this reporter had ever heard anc
their arrangement of Hold Thai
Tiger" was exceptionally good. The
pianist was Miss Dorothy Burkhold.

Around Town With
The Editor


The fve-year-o daughter of
very good neighbors of ours was
watching a blood donation program
on television the other evening.
After listening intently to what
the announcer said about the need
of donating blood for the wounded
boys in Korea, she turned to her
mother and said, "Mommy, the next
time my nose bleeds don't bring me
a kleenex-bring me bottle.
Out of the mouths of babes
The third annual Town Hall meet
ing-and unquestionably the best
which is reported in full elsewhere
on this page, was married only by
the failure of Councilmen Roy
Knight and J. Frank Elliott and
County Commissioners Clarence
Eldridge and Joseph Hoffman to be
present.
When more than 800 citizens turn
out for such a constructive meeting
as that and are willing to pay $3.50
for the dinner-and this fact was
publicly stated in the press on Mon
day-it would seem that these four
gentlemen, who are elected repre-
sentatives of the taxpayers, could
have found time to attend so that
they might be brought up-to-date
on the things the voters who elect
ed them are concerned about
The three Councilmen who did at
tend with the Mayor and the three
Commissioners, entered whole-heart-
edly into the meeting and-answered
fully and frankly all questions put
to them.
Basil O'Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, who spoke at a regional
dinner meeting of The Foundation
here on Friday night, gave his au-
dience of over 200 a down-to- earth
and informative talk on the progress
made by the Foundation since it was
inaugurated some IA years ago. The
purpose of his talk was to bring the
regional officials up to date on the
work of the Foundation, so that they
would be in a position to answer all
questions regarding it during the
forthcoming March Of Dimes cam
paign. Judge Joseph D. Mish, chair
man of the Washington County
Chapter, was POSTMASTER.
What interested me particularly
in Mr.. O'Connor's remarks was the
tremendous amount Of work that has
been going on to find a vaccine that
would be preventive against this
dread disease. Mr.. O'Connor was
frank enough to state that up to the
present time no such vaccine has
been found, but that they had gone
long way in the search for it and
it was his belief that in the not too
far distant future such preventive
would come into being.
Mr.. O'Connor also pointed out that
although the funds supplied for both
local and state care, as well as for
experimental and research pur-
poses, grows larger each year, the
ratio of polio cases increases even
more, so that we all, in order to help
combat this crippling and often time
fatal disease, must give as literally
as we can.
In closing, Mr.. O'Connor empha-
sized very clearly that money itself
is of no value in preventing or cur
ing polio, its real value being in
providing for intelligent care for
those afflicted; for education in the
terrible disease, and for the scien-
tific research that it is hoped and
prayed will finally find a way to
prevent it.

Alaskan Priorities Needed For Housing

Home from vacation at his home in Indiana and government business conferences in Washing ton, D. C., is Donald T. Lowery, field engineer, REA headquarters at Palmer.
 In Washington he made his fight for essential materials. Rep resentatives from Alaska stressed the fact that defense activities are so important and on such a large scale in the territory, that adequate housing, especially near Fit. Richardson and Ladd Field, are badly needed.
 Lowery said there is no indica- tion to this time of priorities for materials in Alaska.
 Returning over the Alcan High way, with his brother William Lowery, they found the roads in good shape with the exception of few approaches, he reported. They found Canadians "outstand- ingly friendly.
