There's Money in Baby Market By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor If you want to make a million, concentrate on America's booming baby market. Anaheimers Named to Honor Society Forty-three students of Santa Ana college were named to Alpha Gamma Sigma, campus honor society, on the basis of their first semester's work, including Roderich Cookus, Hershel Coulter, Jannot Parra and David Smith from Anaheim. The announcement came from the faculty committee on scholarships, headed by Dr. Edwin T. Force. Other members of the committee are Genevieve Humiston, J. Russell Bruff, Miss Dorothy Decker and Miss Alice Smith. Requirements for Alpha Gamma Sigma included a 3.2 grade point average, position in the upper ten per cent of the college scholastically, and a good conduct rating by the committee. The student also had to be carrying 12 units of work, accumulated 45 grade points, and earned at least a "C" grade in his field of emphasis. Eighteen of the students named to the group were women, who accounted for 41 per cent of the total. This is an increase of 7 per cent in the women's average, as compared to the standings of the second semester of 1951. In standings for that semester, the women placed only 17 members to the Santa Ana chapter of the group. From this group, the Phi Theta Kappa members will be chosen by the committee. The Phi Theta Kappa society is the national junior college scholastic society that is comparable to the Phi Beta Kappa of the four year colleges. Those elected to the honor society will be announced later by the Orangethorne Past President Honored Past presidents were the Orangethorne P-Ta in observing Founder's program was high-light noted lecturer, Dr. Josephek, speaking on "You're Iron Curtain."

There are more babies in the United States today than ever before in history. They've been arriving at the rate of 5½ to 4 million a year for the last three years, with new records forecast for 1952. Before that the baby boom of World War II had upped the infant population to astronomical numbers. If you can invent a new (and better) kind of a diaper, nursing bottle, baby carriage or toy, you're in the chips. The small customers are ready and waiting to put your product over the top. Marion Donovan may not have had all this in mind when she invented a new kind of leak-proof diaper cover a few years ago. She was more concerned with making her own baby daughter, Sharon, socially acceptable. A career girl from Indiana, Marion had worked on New York fashion magazines before her marriage to Jim Donovan during the last war. After the second baby arrived and Jim came back from overseas, they moved to Connecticut and Marion settled down to become a housewife and mother. But you can't keep a career girl down. Marion couldn't find the kind of diaper she wanted for Sharon, so she decided to make one herself. She began by cutting up most of the shower curtains in the house. For some time husband Jim had to take tub baths. Finally Marion perfected the pattern of a diaper cover which was leakproof at both legs and waistband, applied snap tisteners, and put it in action. When she saw how well it worked on Sharon, she experimented with other materials, including rubber, plastic, rayon and nylon. Then she decided to put her simple new invention on the market for that semester, the women placed only 17 members to the Santa Ana chapter of the group. From this group, the Phi Theta Kappa members will be chosen by the committee. The Phi Theta Kappa society is the national junior college scholastic society that is comparable to the Phi Beta Kappa of the four year colleges. Those elected to the honor society will be announced later by the faculty group. Katella P-TA League Meets The board of the Katella Parent Teachers League met Wednesday morning to discuss plans for the regular meeting next Tuesday afternoon at which officers for the new year will be elected, and for the installation of officers in April. The program Tuesday will be a Kiddie Fashion Show under the direction of Miss Claire Larsen of the Betty Rose Shop after the pupils of the Fourth and Sixth grades have presented the first part of the program. Mr. Martin Morocco told the board of an open meeting to discuss the solution of the school needs which will be held on Monday, March 31, at the school. Everyone living in the school district is invited to come and participate in this meeting. Personals Corporal Charles Jones of the U.S. Army who has been in Korea for the past nine months has been wounded in action, according to word received from official sources by his wife, Charlotte. Jones was installing a communications wire with two buddies when they were wounded. Fortunately the schrapnel hit Jones in the leg. Mrs. Jones, the former Charlotte Baldassarre, who has been making her home with her parents the Peter Baldassarres, at 10391 S. Stanton ave., was married in Los Vegas last May. Finally Marion perfected the pattern of a diaper cover which was leakproof at both legs and waistband, applied snap fasteners, and put it in action. When she saw how well it worked on Sharon, she experimented with other materials, including rubber, plastic, rayon and nylon. Then she decided to put her simple new invention on the market. Jim, a sailing enthusiast, supplied the name. Said he: "Call it boater, because, like a good boat, it's leak-proof." Marion, an Irish beauty with blue eyes and shining black hair, went at the job thoroughly. She measured babies weekly at Bellevue hospital to achieve correct sizing. She tried out sample diapers on all the babies in Connecticut whose mothers she knew. Then she contracted to have the product manufactured. She made the diaper covers in pastels and polka dots. The first year sales passed a million. Recently she sold her patent to a Shelbyville, Ind., firm, for a million bucks, according to Harry Hanson, president of the Kennedy Company, which bought it. Now the Donovans have a third baby, and goodness knows what Marion will invent next. At any rate she has discovered that there's a gold mine in U. S. babies. Small fry love to decorate cookies. For a quick frosting mix a half-cup of confectioners sugar with two to 2½ teaspoons milk and tint a pretty pink, then let the youngsters spread and have fun! Mrs. James Gillispie, nee Bonnie Tabatt of 10672 S. Chestnut st., Santon, says her husband is still in the hospital in Pearl Harbor. After being married here last December, Gillispie was sent to San Diego and left on the SS Rowan for Korea. En route he fell 18 feet from a gun turret and injured his back. He was hospitalized in Pearl Harbor about five weeks ago. The Rowan was bombed at Koren later. However, Gillispie's buddies who attended the wedding, Ross E. Ison from Arkansas and Darell Richards from Iowa are reported to be all safe. Mr. Milton Hasell of 7922 E. First st., Stanton, is again in very serious condition. He has been confined to his home since he returned from the Long Beach Veterans hospital last May when he suffered a heart attack. Mrs. Hasell has also been very ill with a virus condition.
