added panic hardware" to some
of the older buildings IN the county.
The hardware is standard equipment
on the newer buildings. 1t is the bar
type door openers that open the

that in case of fire. a student would
rush out and hit the bar and the
door comes open 1t eliminates the
danger of trapping people in a
locked building.
Both county high schools have the

efforts are being turned to several
OF the older buildings.

DESIGNER is IMPRESSED
Miss Wdshington's Talent
Wins Her. Becoming Bonus

A local couturier is so inn
pressed with the singing
ability of the new Miss
Washington" he's decided to
give her a glamorous "tal-
emit" gown.
Charles Durham promised.
weeks before the Miss Wash
ington finals, to design two
gowns for the winner. both
to be worn in the Miss Amer
lea Pageant at Atlantic City.
N. j. next month.
Third Gown
When the title went to
Virginia Noble Pailes. a blue
eyed champagne blond whose
singing style has been COM
pared to Doris Days, Mr..
Durham was delighted. And
he promptly offered a third
gown - a special creation
to set of her performance
in the Miss America talent
competition.
The gown will be both ro-
mantle and sophisticated.
Fashioned from shocking
pink chiffon, it will have a
shirred bodice, slightly en-
pire in feeling, and an easy
skirt flowing on the bias to
the floor.
Mr.. Durham, who counts
Ambassadorial and Congress
sional wives among his regu-
lar clients, considers evening
gowns his speciality. Certain
ly he devoted loving-care to
the three he's presenting to
Virginia.
The one she'll wear in the
final competition of the pag-
cant is a regal gown in white
peau de sole, with a bodice
of re-embroidered French
lace. Mr.. Durham spent
many hours, I assure you"
Manufacturing the lace with
opalescent sequins, pearls and
crystal beads.
This detail is carried onto
the front of the bell-shaped,
softly pleated skirt.
The third gown, to be worn
in the grand parade which
will formally open the pag-
cant. is a study in blue. The
French organza material
fades from royal through a
SOFTER shade to the palest
blue. The bodice is accented
with four horizontal tucks
and the skirt sweeps into q
generous train.
All the gowns are strapless,
to show of Virginia's fine
shoulders, Mr.. Durham said.

promised were almost conn
