Attends Carpet Council Meet Al Terrence, recently appointed a member of the American Carpet Institute's Retail Specialty Store Advisory Council, attended that group's meeting in New York City last week. Only 16 leading carpet retailers from all over the U.S.A. are members of the council which advises on matters and recommends action for industry problems. Dr. R. J. Wells At Convention "The New Testament Methods of Building a Sunday School" will be discussed by Dr. R. J. Wells, minister of the Central Baptist Church of Orange County in Anaheim, at the three-day Southern California Sunday School Convention, Sept. 29, in Pasadena Civic Auditorium, sponsored by the Greater Los Angeles Sunday School Association. New Course Offered In String Orchestra A new course being offered by Fullerton Evening Junior College this year is the String Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Ethel Ann Fengler, La Habra High School instructor. The string orchestra is for string instrument musicians who are interested in performing classical and modern string orchestral music, Mrs. Fengler points out. Comment from the Capital — WHO WOULD YOU HAVE AS FIRST LADY? by Vant Neff Among the strongest impressions left by the TV presentation of the recent Conventions of the country's two political parties, were the quick but penetrating close-ups of the distaff members of the leading political families. A kaleidoscope of memorable pictures flick by the mental eye — Mrs. Barry Goldwater, frankly crying; Mrs. Lyndon Johnson — Ladybird of Texas, her sad eyes perhaps belying her quick support of her husband's acceptance of second place; Mrs. Elsenhower, never gayer, eternally feminine in her open pleasure at the gift presented to her; Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, a fighter to the end — but not Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy there as a "distaff side" oh no, for it is she who, whether we liked it or not, made the role of wife of the President of the United States a unique figure cannot underestimate the importance of a stable and fulfilling domestic life, of a rich home life free of petty worries and nagging anxieties. Finally, in the role of hostess to the world, where she must be able to welcome dignitaries as far apart as a Queen of England and a Shah of Persia, to plan as efficiently dinner for 200 as breakfasts for 2 or 3 close advisers, the President's wife must be a poised, gracious and mature chateleaine, whose sure hand guides a smooth household. Thus, both in her own right, in her role as a gracious hostess, in practicing the art of inspiring and influencing without appearing to do either, in smoothing the daily life of the President, his wife must bear on her shoulders the feminine counterpart of that heaviest job in the world! In the two women who now pass under this highly critical scrutiny, we find certainly the widest contrasts that could be imagined; and yet, just as certainly, there must be close similarities. Both Pat Nixon and Jacqueline Kennedy are highly intelligent hostess. While possibly not an intellectual, her fine intelligence and tremendous appetite for study will be put to good use — as in her world travels with the Vice-President — to enable her to talk knowingly with her international guests. Again, Pat Nixon, has of course, faced all the problems that confront the average young American. She has worked since her teens; she has stretched funds to fit budgets, she has skimped and "made do"; she has sewn and taken in seams and let out seams. She knows these things at first hand — and it is hoped that she feels them still, "inside!" Jackie Kennedy is living through a disturbing time in Mrs. Pat Nixon her own life. As a very, very young woman (even in relation to the young political personalities all around Mrs. Jacqueline there as a "disaffect side" oh no, for it is she who, whether we liked it or not, made the role of wife of the President of the United States a unique figure, with importance in her own right. Thus again, whether we like it or not, the whole population, men as well as women, will today take a real interest in the woman who stands at the next President's side. This summer, then, every eye is turned on Pat Nixon, present on the TV screen almost constantly; and many a thought was turned towards Cape Cod where Jackie Kennedy endured the almost unendurable waiting, held there by doctor's orders. Certainly, American women are willing to admit this real interest. In it is a natural interest, in our country, where it is largely the women who uphold the community and civic duties of the family. It is the women who more frequently have the time for participation and for thoughtful study of special issues, and consequently it is they who very often are responsible for "getting out the vote", i.e., in making sure that the men in their family make time to vote. Moreover, in the job of the Presidency, perhaps the most difficult, exacting job for which any man was ever chosen, one and influencing without appearing to do either, in smoothing the daily life of the President, his wife must bear on her shoulders the feminine counterpart of that heaviest job in the world! In the two women who now pass under this highly critical scrutiny, we find certainly the widest contrasts that could be imagined; and yet, just as certainly, there must be close similarities. Both Pat Nixon and Jacqueline Kennedy are highly intelligent, attractive, vital women, tremendously anxious to create the stable and fulfilling atmosphere within which their husbands can function most efficiently for the country. And yet, beneath the surface, these two women are as far apart as the sands of Cape Cod are from the sands of Santa Monica. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, almost continental in her dark good looks and flair for clothes, has the wealthy family background, and the social training to entertain graciously and to make her distinguished guests feel at home. Her deep intelligence and intellectual interests will help her to understand the problems that confront her husband. Her sensitivity will be called upon to make her feel the problems that she has never herself experienced, the struggle for existence, for a place in the world that the average man and woman faces today, even in the midst of great prosperity. Pat Nixon, on the other hand, the daughter of a miner turned farmer, has trained herself in fashion, in entertaining, and is, today, considered a "fantastic" housekeeper, and an excellent Mrs. Pat Nixon her own life. As a very, very young woman (even in relation to the young political personalities all around her), she is just building her family. Despite her wealth and the service and assistance she will be able to have, she may still not be able to participate in all the activities the President's wife is called upon to engage in. As an older mother, Pat Nixon, whose children are in their teens, of course, is freed to take full part in the Washington, the National, and indeed, the world-wide scene. Pat and Jackie — so neatly are the checks and balances arranged on each side that the choice is difficult. Perhaps the problem for American women, at least, may be boiled down to this consideration: If the women of America must "relate" (as the psychologists put it) to the President's wife, will they be able to relate to Jackie Kennedy, very young, very sheltered, yet paradoxically flexible, sensitive, with a good sense of humor? Or, will they feel more at home with Pat Nixon who has learned to live through lean years and prosperous ones, deadly serious in her role as Dick's wife, with maturity and poise acquired the "hard way"? You make the choice, you may well need the help of a woman. NINE LIVES supposedly belong only to pussy cats. But telephone people have found other things can have extra lives, too — like the boxes new phones are delivered in. We keep these boxes after phones are installed and use them over and over. Every re-use saves 8¢, the cost of a new box. Multiplied thousands of times a month, even small savings like this help us give you more for your telephone dollar.
