anything unusual, many times
with details of architecture. Spec
ial comment was made on the
quantities of flowers grown in all
the countries, the smallest yards
having their plots of bloom in riot
Gus colors; hillsides in the dis
tances with their stone-walled
fields resembling patchwork
quilts.
This mentions only some of the
beauty caught through the cam
eras lens.
At the outset Mr.. Conway invit-
ed audience participation. Hence
his remarkable and fluent narra-

tory and interesting sidelights, was
oft interrupted as his intrigued
listeners piled him with questions
When they would learn more about
something that caught their fancy.

point of wanting to depart on the

other was heard to remark she'd
forego the chance of a seasick
voyage, the costly freight of such
a trip, let "the boss" take the pic

The tables were centered with
snapdragons and candles and dain-

tied with blue ribbons were fav-

Mrs. Leon H. King, president,
despatched the business, after the
club had given Mr.. Conway an
ovation and said their adieux.

stated.
Mrs. G. w. Putnam, discussing

such details as the more covered
look, much back" interest, strai-
ghter. and Simmer lines, and alb
sence of crinoline petticoats for
daytime wear.
Mrs. Leon King, panel chair
man, gave current outlook on Chill

So far, the Southerners have
remained on the sidelineS. Most
of the speaking has been done
by Senators from the Northwest,
where the power issue bulks es-
pecially large.
However, one Republican Sem
ator active in the fight against
the measure said in an interview
he believed the Southerners
would vote against the Demo-
cratic-backed proposal to au-
thorize a $485-million Federal
dam on the Snake River between
Idaho and Oregon. This Senator
declined to be quoted by name.
A thread of politics ran through
yesterdays debate, with Repub-
lican Senators denouncing Dem
ocratic "giveaway" charges as
a "baseless, election-year smear
attempt" and Democrats ac-
cusing the White House of ex-
erting heavy pressure" against
the Hells Canyon bill.
The bill would authorize Fed
eral development of the power
potential OF the deep Hells Can
yon gorge, through erection of
q single high dam. Under the
Eisenhower administration the
Federal Power Commission has
licensed the Idaho Power Co. to
build three lower dams and de-
velop the power without cost to
the Government.
Democratic Senators, seeking
to dramatic the public-vs.-
private power issue for the cleo
ton campaign ahead, have
chosen the HellS Canyon Bill as
their battle-ground.
Senator Jackson, Democrat of
Washington. contended the FPC
decision made a "mockery of
the law and of Congress-" But
Senator Watkins, Republican of
Utah, defended the FPC, saying
It acted by unanimous vote

company for wasteful. partial

Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, said the Idaho power
plan offers less storage, less
flood control, less power, less
recreation and imperils fish and
wildlife conservation.
However, Senator Welker. Re-
publican of Idaho, commended the
proposed Federal high dam
would drown out" other dam
sites and handicap irrigation
during low-water years. He
commended there are no recrea-
tional or fish. and wildlife posi-
bilities in Hells Canyon. And
he called the bill a "monstrosity
which is opposed by the Cover
nors of the three Pacific North
west States"

need. for the proper method to
use in refreshing garments.
A label, with a clear and
concise statement, is essential
to guide both commercial
launderies and the home
maker. he noted.
= THE biggest problem was
that of arriving at definitions
and terms that would mean
the same thing to everyone
who used them" he explained.
Albert E. johnson, director
of trade relations of the Ma
tional Institute of Dry Clean
ing, discussed the factors that
combine to make a textile
product satisfactory to the
consumer and the ability of
that product to go through the
processes of laundering and
dry cleaning.
when a garment is freshly
cleaned, the consumer is very
critical" he, com m e n d.
what may have escaped
notice before now becomes
cause for bitter controversy"
Two common types of COM
plants illustrate the dry
cleaners problem sunlight

pheric fumes. "These are per-
Torrance shortcomings of the
fabric itself and comprise
about 90 per cent of the 500
cases of color damage investi-
gated every month in the tex

plant" he pointed out.
Garment design is another
headache for the dry cleaner.
He cited a case of a taffeta
dress with a three-tiered COL
lar. There was only one way to
press it fiat. OF course the
dress never looked the same.
THE dress designer who
thinks up these ideas probably
has his own reason" he re-
