LECTURED SO LONG for re-
ligious bigotry, the South is en-
titled to ask that some Of the
lecturers be dispatched to other
areas. David Lawrence estimates
from Gallup polls that 5000, 900
Republican Catholics went over
to Kennedy. 1t isn't fair to say
all of them did so because Of his
religion. The Republican vote,
with Eisenhower out. fell off for
many reasons.
But it is fair to say there was
enough decline for this reason to
show that the South isn't the only
habitat of the habit.

Beauty Hint

Even though being q
mother and q housewife keeps
you busy all day long. do not
neglect your own beauty care.
Too often mothers forget
that they should appear as
attractive as possible to their
families, If only to set good
grooming examples for their
children.
Beauty authority Max Fac
tor suggests several basic
points of grooming which a
mother can best instill in her
children by practicing them
herself.
Cleanliness, Of course. is
essential to good grooming.

Irene was the first designer
to use soufile fabric, a fine
marquisette weave sheerer
than chiffon, which now the
entire fashion market that
can afford to work with the
fabric, has taken up. Origi-

wine in France and to sift

Someone once described
the people who populate the
fashion world as a privileged
group whose imaginations are
allowed to work overtime and
who get paid for it.
In California imagination
is certainly part and parcel
of the fashion outlook.
1t extends itself from the
most inexpensive sportswear
to the most expensive cou-
turier design. But what is
really fun to see, is the way
both groups can take a lowly
fabric like seersucker and
endow it with their own spe-
cial kind of fashion magic.
Howard Greer has teamed
seersucker with fabulous laces
and chiffons and tied some
Of his designs up in velvet
ribbon, and seersucker GER
tainly has never had it so
good. Will it go over when
the asking price is $3.50 for a
dress and jacket?
MY dear" Howard said,
You simply don't under
stand. Some women can't
wait to pay that much for
seersucker."
Not Too Serious

taking fashion seriously that
California designers seem to
possess. A navy crepe dress

California and the chiffon

the most eye-appealing chif-

Accident Summons.
Firemen to School

Firemen responded on Thurs
day afternoon to an alarm which
came in from the John Bassett
Moore High School as the result
of an automatic alarm being
sounded when a boy backed in
to the alarm box on the second
floor of the building. The glass
covering the button which au-
tomatically sounds the alarm
had fallen inside and set the
alarm off. A teacher who open
ed the door of his classroom
on the corridor at the time saw
the boy back into it, and school
officials were convinced that it
was not done on purpose. Vol
unteers of the Citizens Hose
Company responded SO quickly
that they had reached the site
just as all students had left the
building.

Renovated Beach
Awaiting Bathers'
Weekend Invasion

A vast improvement on the
Main Street front at Lake Como
can be noticed by residents, as
the season for the opening of
the beach begins. The town
crews have been at work on
the beach and the lakefront, and
the pavilion has been repaired
and replaced. The dam has been
painted. Two charcoal grills
have been set in concrete and
tables will be available nearby
for those who wish to hold out
door picnics. The grills are the
gifts of the Twentieth Gentry
Club and the Smyrna Grange,
as gesture in community ser
vice. Previously the water in
the lake had been lowered, the
beach and bathing area raked
and glass and debris removed.
A new diving board has been
erected. Landscaping operations
have been conducted by the
town crew along Main Street
where the dogwood trees were
planted last fall. They were
furnished by several civic and
service clubs, and the work of
planting done by Lawrence c.
Ellery, nurseryman. The muni-
cipal beach will be opened on
Saturday, May % from 10 am.
to 8 p. m. and admission will
be free. It is planned to have
a lifeguard on duty. The oper-
alton of the beach will be un-
der the supervision of Town
Manager Rex D. Gilmore. The
beach will remain open during
the season seven days a week,
daily and Sunday. The conces-
sion will have a four-ffavored
drink dispenser and a machine
to dispense cookies for the con-
venience of those who use the

The Second Army Band will

Crowded Classes,
Teacher Shortage
Confront District

Unless the district wishes to
place over 40 students in a
class, it will be necessary to
have five teachers in Grade l
and four teachers in Grade 4
next year, officials of Smyrna
Schools revealed today. This
means the hiring of at least one
additional elementary teacher
for the l960-6l year. The board
noted that first grade enrolment
for this year on the pre-school
basis was ITO in the white
schools of the district, which is
Ia pupils higher than at the cor
responding period last year.
Ninety-six enrolled during the
pre-school registration period in
1859, but l40 pupils actually
attended school. The district is
presently looking for teachers
of high school mathematics,
junior high mathematics, foreign
languages, English, general sci
ence, and Grade A. The number
of students taking Spanish in
the Smyrna Schools has great
ly increased over the past two
years, creating the need for as
sistance in the foreign language
department. More than ninety
students are already enrolled for
first-year Spanish next year. The
