Pot Nixon Meets the Press

had taken his inevitable zone
more" and Mrs. Nixon settled
down to concentrate on report
ers' questions, with one eye on
the clock. 1t was almost time
for her to leave for the National
Symphony fund luncheon, at
which her husband was to be
the chief speaker.
Some one sympathized that it
would take her some time to get
out of the ball gown into street
costume.
"Oh, no." she said. "This just
has to be unpinned, and 1t only
takes me flve minutes to dress.
Dick dresses in f1ve minutes
too"
The conference shortly moved
up to her bedroom, as the three
women reporters wanted to see
the dresses she plans to wear for
various inaugural events.
I'm really not sure which
things I'm supposed to go to-"
she said. 'Dick just got back
from New York this morning and
I haven't had a chance to talk to
him and find out. I guess we go
to the concert and the Gov
ernor's reception and the festi-
val-plus the ball and the inau-
guration and parade. Of course"
Only One New Dress
She isn't sure which outfit she
will wear for which. but she fig
ures she has enough clothes to
get through the various events.
On Inauguration day she will
wear a black cloth coat, trimmed
with persian lamb, with her OK
ford grey suit, winter white hat,
and black shoes and bag. The
suit is not new. Her only new
costume is the ball gown, she
said, but some of the other
dresses were purchased this fall.
Hanging ready in her closet
for whatever may come along
she has:
An nkle-length violet satin
gown, which fits tight in front.
pulls back into a semibustle in
the rear, lined with deep purple.
A street-length navy taffeta.
with outstanding collar, which
fits snugly around the waist with
shocking over small buttons.
A street-length white
dress, with collar. cuffs and
patch pockets of gold metallic
yarn, which her friends in Cali
fornia knitted for her.
A black nylon net ballerina-
length gown, with low V-neck.
trimmed with horizontal rows
of black lace on the skirt.
A champagne-col tailored
wool dress with olive green
pleated scarf.
The two Nixon children.
'Ticia, s, and Julie. 4, will go
to the Inauguration ceremony
and the parade. They will wear
slack and coat sets over organdy
dresses, their mother said. the

latter because they want to be
dressed up. even if nobody can
see the dresses"

Hess-Schleisner's
Are Celebrating
25th Anniversary

Hess-Schleisner's, one of the out
standing retailers of wOmen's wear
on the Eastern Shore, is celebrating
its 25th anniversary in Salisbury
this month.
This fashion retail establishment
had its inception in dream which
Lewis M. Hess had, OF owning and
operating a store which would be
accepted by the women of the Eas-
tern Shore as it's Fashion Capitol.
Thus it is that today, 25 years after
the dream had come into being Mr..
Hess has ample reason to believe
this his aspirations of those early
days have literally come true. That
his original judgement was sound,
is attested by the fact that the store
is patrOnized by large numbers Of
discriminating WON n shoppers
who look to Hess-Schleisner's for
deft and authentic accents on the
fashions and modes of the moment.
It was back in 1928 that Mr.. Hess
opened a branch store Of a Balti-
more concern in the WicOmicO HO-
tel Building in Salisbury. At the
time it seemed like a rather daring
step. Salisbury was five hours away
from Baltimore and some doubt
was expressed as to whether the
women of this section of the state
would patrOnize store which was
prepared to specialize exclusively
in newest and most sparkling styles
in femme ready-tO-wear. The sue
cess of the new enterprise ra-
ther quickly dispelled all such
doubts the store clicked" almost
Immediately and is today recOg-
nized as one of Salisbury's fore
most retail establishments with a
huge following, of loyal patrons.
AS an intimate and interesting
personal sidelight, Mr.. Hess recall
ed that his son, john E. Hess, was
born the same month that the
Salisbury store was purchased.
Having now completed his service
with the armed forces, the younger
( Mr.. Hess has returned to Salisbury
and Joined his fathers Organiza-
tion in the capacity 0f secretary
treasurer.
In announcing plans for the
stores Silver Jubilee celebration
to be held February 21st through
2Sth, Mr.. Hess revealed that a num-
Der of costly, silver prizes will be
available for the Grand Drawing
on February 28th. These will be
drawn from door tickets to be issu-
ed during the Sale Week.
incidentally, Mr.. Hess stated
that he has purchased huge quan-
titles of new spring fashions which
will be placed on sale during this
week at tremendous reductions.

Sen. Frear Urges
Legislation Providing
Standby Controls
teOntinued ION Is 30

The Senator also pointed out that
our economy has adjusted itself
quite we'll to the partial economic
and military mobilization in which
we are engaged. But, he also en-
phasized that the Korean conflict
still exists and that at any time it
might become enlarged as a result
Of further communist aggression.
should such an eventuality oc-
cur" he warned, ''it would at once
be necessary for us to drastically
increase our preparedness program.
Unless the President had existing
authority to initiate such changes
in our mobilization program, Con-
gress would be faced with the re-
sponsibility of drawing up new
statute containing proper authori-
zation. "Unquestionably," the Sen
ator declared, this would be long
drawn out procedure, and could
conceivably occur at the time when
speed is Of the essence.
ITO eliminate such a possibility, %
Mr.. Frear said, 81 believe it far
wiser to consider the passage of
standby legislation now, so that the
President will be able to proceed
promptly in the event a greater
emergency arises"
In conclusion, Senator Frear add
ed: "The phrase too little and too
late was tragically familiar one
during World War II. In these days
of possible sudden and devastating
attack, it is imperative that our
Governmental machinery be ready
to move within hours or even min
utes. Standby authority for emer-
gency economic and military mObi-
lization, prudently exercised by the
Executive Branch, would thus, at
an hour of need, be of unlimited
assistance in protecting the nation
al welfare"

Test-Don't Guess;
For Better Soil

Test your soil-don't guess" is
suggestion offered to farmers by
A. U. Thor, University of Illinois
soils specialist,
Thor thinks that the fall is the
best time for farmer to make the
tests because they may show the
farmer that his land needs lime
stone, phosphate or potash and
these should be applied at least
six months before clovers are seed
ed. Fall application will make
these plant foods available to
seedlings next spring.
Tests often save money by avoid
ing overapplication of fertilizers.
They will tell the farmer whether
or not he can expect good stands
of legumes and grasses
