PHILADELPHIA Grand
Exalted Ruled Robert H. John

publicly one of the leadership
traits which caused the late J.
Finley Wilson to favor him as his
successor last year at Buffalo,
Mr.. Johnson has invited both Gen.
eral Dwight Eisenhower and Gov

to address the 53rd Elks Grand

The move is considered one of
political sagacity and demon
strates Mr.. Johnson's intention of
being fair to both political parties
in allowing their Presidential
candidates to address the Elks.
The IBPOEW is normally con-
sidered to lean predominantly to
the side of the Republicans.
"The Grand" - who announc-
ed that he would engage in no
"mudslinging' at his opponents
for Elkdom's top post - likewise
made another important decision.
He said the -Elks' Civil Liberties
Department, headed by Hobson r.
Reynolds Of Philadelphia, will
award the third Elijah Lovejoy
Medal to Branch Hickey, former
general manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers and now of the Pitts
burgh Pirates. Mr.. Hickey brought
Negroes into major league base
ball.

were Governor Alfred e. Driscoll

You'll be happy to have COM
Portable shoes and an enveloping
wrap of some kind. My happiest
shoes turned out to be my black
suede pumps with little heels.
Dressy enough to wear at night
and look pretty, yet balanced
enough to walk on the cobble-
stones.
My high heels I wore very lit
tie except in the hotels. I found
long ago that the only way to
learn from new place is to walk
it-and I was in Spain to learn.
So much for shoes which I con-
slider the most important single
travel item. Lots of girls swear
by the suit as their travel stand
by. Not mel swear by jersey
mostly. My nearest approach to
a suit was little" jacket with
a bell-shaped skirt which turned
out to be my best investment.
It's made Of Zibeline coating
and believe it or not was never
pressed on the whole trip. I like
to line all my wool skirts with
silk, especially the jerseys. Be-
sides you don't need a slip that
way and 1t helps hold the shape of
the skirt. I had four black jersey
tops with me of different cuts and
they served all needs.
My nylon tulle skirt and nv
organdy skirt wore only on the
boat coupled with the fore
mentioned jerseys. They really
didn't take much room and were
worth their keep for pleasure re-
lceived. I found my waterproofed
cotton Transformer" coat a con-
stant companion and I had a full
ish skirt made to match. I was
thoroughly drenched one day in
Seville watching a procession but
must say I felt SNUG about the
whole thing.

Dear Josephine Lowman:

II might add that feel better
physically and mentally as well
as look much better in my
clothes. My husband is most
happy about the whole thing.
Il would like some firming exer-
cises for my hips and upper legs.
They have lost their bulges, but
are still too flabby. I would like
these soon because I am leaving
on my vacation and would like
to continue work on f1rming my
thighs.
The following exercise is firm
ing to the thighs. Do deep knee
bends. Be certain to keep your
back straight as you bend you,
knees all the way down. If you
cannot keep your balance with q
straight back, place one hand on
the wall or on the back of a chair
For hip flrming do this: Stand
