Crowd Views
Stevens' Fashion
Show; icin ACCA
The SRO sign greeted late arrivals
at the Alaska Crippled Children's
Association fashion show in th
Baranof Gold Room Saturday. Spon
sored by Stevens, the fashion show
served to launch the 1951-52 mem
bership drive of the ACCA and to
give the women of the community
—and a few of the husbands—an
afternoon of viewing Stevens smart
fashions, modelled by some of Ju
neau's smartest women.
Mrs. John McCormick, president
of the ACCA Juneau-Douglas chap
ter, told the story of the Crippled
Children's Association in Alaska.
Organized to assist the territory in
furnishing money for crippled child
ren being cared for at Mt. Edge
cumbe, at home, in hospitals and,
in Juneau in the chronic illnesses
W'ards in St. Ann’s, the local chap
ter is one of the 30 that last year
contributed a total of $20,294.50 to
the Alaska Department of Health.
This was doubled, by matching funds
of the federal government’s child
ren’s bureau, Mrs. McCormick ex
plained. Of every dollar contributed,
25-cents is kept by the local chap
ter and used for various local needs
of the ACCA.
To the crowd that overflowed the
Gold Room into the lounge and the
Terrace Room of the Baranof, Mrs.
McCormick gave these credits for
the success of the style show:
Mrs. Jessie Stevens, who has been
a friend of the ACCA since it was
first organized; Mrs. Norma Weeks,
editor of the women’s division of
KINY whom she introduced as
commentator for the show; Mrs.
Letha Tliorndahl, pianist and Jim
Mahar, who sang during the after
noon.
Planned for the mature woman as
well as for the young set, the fash
ion show had as one of its featured
models, Mrs. Jetta Gray who said
that "30 years ago I modelled for
Goldstein’s store, 25 years ago lor
Behrends, and now I am modelling
for Stevens,”—and a stuning model
she was, too.
Jean Anderson O’Brien wore black
and red lounging pajamas for her
first appearance, a White Stag ski
outfit, appropriately accompanied by
red woolies, a stunning gray coat
and suit and a black cocktail dress.
Sylvia Lister, only teen-age model
wore a 3-piece green corduroy cas
ual combination and a lovely yellow
and blue net evening frock.
Helen Ehrendreich, a beautiful
model wearing beautiful clothes,
first appeared in a Sacony red check
day dress, then a gray Sacony suit
and a black and red evening gown
with black stole—and looked so
well in the costumes that her hus
band, who was one of the men pre
sent, bought two of them on the
spot.
Dark-haired Betty Brown wore
several youthful costumes, one a
purple dress by Bloomfield, Jr., and
a most attractive, pink and green
net evening dress.
A special model was Mrs. Helen
Webster, whose gray coat over a
purple suit were outstanding.
Which of Mrs. Felix Gray’s cos
tumes one would choose would de
pend upon the type of costume for
which one was shopping; a casual
brown dress, a handsome fur trim
med coat or the stunning evening
dress of dark blue lace. Her friendly
comments spoken with her familiar
Scottish burr won applause from
her audience.
Day costumes were Gerry Jones
specialty; a purple knit suit, a
; White Stag ski suit, and a beige
Smagmoor coat over a brown suit.
Freda Reynolds was attractive in
I a black suit by Gilbert, a handsome
j rose evening dress and another
I evening gown of black taffeta, se
I quin-trimmed.
j A bright red coat over a black
j suit was the first of Nancy Furness’
! costumes and her blue lace cocktail
dress introduced the group of cock
tail and dinner frocks that closed
the show.
Mildred Kelly helped make more
attractive two stunning evening
dresses—a pink net gown and a
beautiful white and gold evening
dress with a gold stole.
The white evening dress worn by
Mrs. Marian Williamson was hand
some.
And, like most good shows, the
last was the best. Introduced by
Jim Mahar’s song, "The Girl I
Marry,” and to the tune of a wed
ding march, June Young modeled
a white satin bridal gown, its long
train and veil lace-edged—a gown
to make a picture of any bride.
Tire comments of Mrs. Weeks kept
the fashion show going at an inter
esting pace as she called attention
to the hats and other accessories
from Stevens worn with the various
costumes. She thanked Phyllis May
nard and Grace Wiley of the Flor
ence Shop, Marion Richey of the
Vanity Beauty Shop, Lucille Stine
of Lucile’s and Ruby Dobler and
Marianne of the Baranof Beauty
Shop for styling the hair of the
models; Bert’s Grocery, the Alaska
Electric Light Company, Juneau
Young; Ruth Brooks for making
posters; KINY; and Stevens, first
and last for making possible the
fashion show for the ACCA.
In her comments Mrs. McCormick
said "Alaska is fortunate in having
Dr. Philip Moore, orthopedic sur
geon, in charge of Mt. Edgecumbe,
Miss Mary Jerome, supervisory
nurse and Dr. Joseph Deisher. The
children love and adore each one of
them, which means a great deal for
the welfare of the patients.”
She said that a tribute should
be paid Mrs. Sylva Zenger, board
member of the ACCA who as sewing
chairman does much of the sewing
and mending necessary for the
children in the chronic wards in
Juneau; to Mrs. Fiances Grant,
hospital chairman, who assists in
shopping for the children and mem
bership chairman Bess O'Neill
"without whose aid we would fall i
short of the dollars we need. And
without the cooperation of every j
member of the board of trustees,
the load of the ACCA would be a
heavy one.”
And for the 1,035 crippled child
: ren on the register of the Alaska
Department of Health, what was
their profit from the style show?
Mrs. McCormick reported a to
tal of $216 from memberships re
ceived Saturday afternoon—and lots
of advertising. “Everyone knows
our Crippled Children’s membership 1
drive started Saturday with Stevens
fashion show,” she said.

Most of the scouts are Eskimo!
hunters, trappers and fishermen j
from the western and northern areas 1

British Killing
At Suez Roadblock
CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 29 — OR — A
British military spokesman said to
day an Egyptian woman was killed
and her male companion wounded
by British troops who fired on their
automobile as they tried to crash
through a British roadblock in the
embattled Suez Canal zone.
The spokesman said an Egyptian
officer immediately made an ofi cial
protest against the shooting, which
occurred last night after a weekend
lull in the canal zone.
Egypt meanwhile moved toward
a war footing.
The Egyptian state council, which
has the status of a supreme court,
yesterday approved general mobili
zation of manpower and drafting of
all Egyptians between 18 and 50 ‘in
case of war or threat of war."
It also provided for setting up a
high council of war headed by Prime
Minister Mustapha El Nahas Pasha.

The council acted as Egypt offi

ing the two treaties providing for
British sharing the defense of the
Suez Canal and in the rule of the
vast cotton-growing Sudan.
Britain has refused to recognize
the one-sided act and has poured
thousands of troop reinforcements
into the canal zone. She holds mili

Splil Pea Crop
Has 'Soup Bowl'
Running Over
Spokane, Oct. 29—UFi—The na
tion’s "soup bowl" runneth over.
The "soup bowl" is a handful cf
counties in eastern Washington and
northern Idaho which produce 85 to
90 percent of the nation's supply
of split peas.
And the area this season has
turned out twice as many peas
as the national normally laps up in
its soups in an average year.
The authority for. the figure is
Pete Stallcop, managing secretary
of the Pacific Northwest Pea Grow
ers and Dealers Association.
He said that as a result of the
heavy production the price of dry,
edible peas has dropped from 5
and G cents a pound this spring to
3 Vi cents now.
