She said that ‘The Jay-| Shees are happy to honor their | past presidents. They have been the backbone of our organization and without their help, we would not be able to accompish many of our goals.” Highlights of each president’s| term were given by Mrs. Malcolm | Pinder. She told how in 1945, Anna Delany had attended a Jay- Cee state convention with her hus- band and heard that some of the wives from other towns were form- | ing auxiliaries of the JayCées. When she returned and reported this to the JayCee wives of Key West, they felt they could accomp- lish a lot for the city as well as help their husbands by forming an auxiliary. The JayShees were formally or- ganized on November 19, 1954 and Mrs. selaney served as the club’s first president. The club’s first project, under the leadership of Mrs. Delaney was the purchase of an oxygen tent for the hospital. Norma Dopp was the club’s second president and the club was very active in civic affairs. They organized the Lobar Day celebra- tion in 1947 and received an award of merit from the Red Cross for the outstanding job done by the JayShees in a house to house can- vass during the Red Cross fund campaign. Christmas gifts to residents of the Old Folks Home and a gift of $200 to the JayCees building fund were | the projects of ‘the club under president, Ann Cobo. Mary Lewin was the next presi- dent of the JayShees and they con- { tinued to help the Jaycees by do- nating paint for the interior of the JayCee Clubhouse. The JayCee State conference was held in Key West during Mrs. Lewin’s term and the JayShees did a splendid job of entertaining the JayCee wives from all over the State of Florida. During Marie Pinder’s adminis- tration, the JayShees contributed $200 toward the expense of building Luncheon At Key Wester Saturday st Presidents Past presidents of the JayShees were the honor guests at a Key Wester pool Saturday after- of the Monroe General Hospital, heck for $390, which will be used most modern type for use at the f the incubator was the JayShees’ The luncheon table was cent-!a kitchen for the JayCee club- chairs and | house and purchased tables.

The club raised over $500 for the purchase of an electro-cardio- graph machine for the Monroe General Hospital, during Annice Curry’s year as president of the club. The eighth president of the Jay- Shees was Betty Collins and the club project was the Old Folks Home. A _ radio-phonograph and records were presented to the home and the JayShees gave monthly parties for the residents. During the past year, under the leadership of Mrs. Ilaqua, the club had as their project the purchase of an incubator for the hospital. At the conclusion of Mrs. Pind-- er’s report, Mrs. Ilaqua presented Mr. Albury with a check for the incubator. Mr. Albury told the the hospital was very |the JayShees for all their help, “both now and in the past.” He |said, “The incubator was one of | the finest things that a club can | Sive the hospital — because it will {give an immature child a real \chance for life.” He described the \the most modern available and {said that it was completely “air | conditioned”’ and was large enough to provide space for infants up to six months of age.

Here’s an expert report on what the new styles will mean to the well- dressed American woman. It will be followed by daily stories in this newspaper until the press preview ends Friday. By DOROTHY ROE NEW YORK @®-It’s going to be smart to be slouchy next fall, the international fashion press learned today with the opening of the New York wholesale collections of fall styles. Comfort also is given a large play by American designers, who are introducing the bloused sil- houette after a season in which the tight midriff and Princess lines made women suffer for the sake of fashion. The newest dresses shown by leading designers have an easy, loose look above the belt, retaining the slim skirt or daytime. How- ever, skillful use of pleats and flares has been made in some skirts, allowing room to move while preserving a slender appear- ance. The bloused-back dress showed up in the Paris spring collections but was not generally adopted by American designers until now. It suggests a return to the casual way of dressing that most Ameri- can women love, and also makes it possible to hide a few extra bulges around the middle. The tight-midriff Empire line is still present in many collections but a choice is now offered, with the casually comfortable look the newest and therefore the smartest in the lineup. Suits for fall over a wide variety | | of jacket styles, with the slim skirt | still decreed for daytime wear and hemlines about the same or oc- easionally a trifle shorter than those of spring and summer. One| leading suit designer shows the | longer jacket as the highlight of his collection, but the ‘Blouson”’ jacket seems a favorite. This is a | bloused effect ending in a belt at the waist, similar to the Eisen- hower jacket of World War Il. Boxy and barrel-shaped jackets rounded at the top and snugged in around the hipline also are prom- inent and popular. The fur-trimmed suit and even the suit with reversible jacket lined in fur is seen frequently, often as a part of the popular cos- tume suit, which consists of a smart dress covered by a tailored jacket. . The costume is the top favorite in practically every collection, shown either as dress and jacket, ress and matching full-length coat or suit with coordinated blouse. | This is the highly versatile break- fast-to-dinner outfit which permits a woman to go from office to cock- tail party or dinner perfectly | dressed for the occasion when she removed her jacket. imine ag ‘ries make new headlines for fall, with much em- | er a nee COT aour, | There are tweed dress-and-jacket |combinations in which the dress emerges with open neckline and brief sleeves, ready for any after-5 occasion. There are feather-weight silk-and-wool tweeds suitable for both suits and dresses. The com- |bination of satin and tweed is a new note for fall, highly effective and apparently slated for wide ac- ceptance, Black and charcoal gray remain tops for basic costumes, but the combination of a sherry brown and black is newer, and the fad color of the season is purple. The soft black crepe dress, which most women feel is a necessity in any wardrobe, gains new stature | this season, and will be seen in| quantity in shops across the coun- | try. It is done in either silk or! Tayon, simple, skillfully draped, to} | be dressed up or down with jewel. | |ty_and accessories, ~ The top coat silhouette of the season is the loose, rounded line which is drawn in slightly at the | hemline, in something resembling | a barrel shape. This usually is a/ few inches shorter than the skirt hemline. There is a rounded, smooth look to both suits and coats this season. Shoulders are natural, and the dropped shoulder line is impor- tant. Garments are loose above the waist, drawn in below either at hipline or hemline. Necklines take a dramatic play, with big collars on coats and suits, open decolletages on dresses. The | sailor collar is shown in many | versions on coats, suits and ocea- | | | sionally on dresses. Biggest news for the college crowd is the Bermuda skirt, a knee length affair worn over Bermuda shorts, with long knee-length socks. | This is done in plaid Pleated kilt version as well as in circular cut | | tweeds, open in front to reveal the | shorts beneath. | Even hats follow the casual line |in the early collections, with the slouch-brim felt leading the fieid ‘and the flapper cloche a close | runner-up. ; TY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN TELEPHONE: Citizen Office, 2-5662 Club Calendar EVERY MONDAY 10:00—Gym Class for Officers’ wives, Bldg. 83, Seaplane Base 8:00—Logia “Mart!” Nro. 3, Caballeros de Marti, 919 Elizabeth 8:00—Alcoholics Anonymous MONDAY, JULY 12 7:30—DeMolay Mothers’ Circle, St. Paul’s Parish Hall 7:30—Wesleyan Service Guild of First Methodist Church 7:30—WSCS Board at First Methodist Church Annex 8:00—Exec.
