Annual Easter Fashion Show Proposed
As Money-Raising Project For ‘Funds’
The following account of the*
Cancer Fund Fashion Show was
written by Virginia Brown, who
originated the idea and who has
modestly omitted the clever com
edy act she performed as the
Yellow Rose of Texas.
By L. VIRGINIA BROWN
The Fashion Show was fun and
we can’t wait to try it again. From
the 1900’s dress, hat and parasol
belonging to Christie Waldheim
and modeled by Ellen Waldheim,
to the dainty lingerie, sports wear,
fresh-as-spring cottons, the lovely
afternoon street wear, to the’
“after five” glamour parade of
cocktail and gening dresses, it
was so pretty, and the little folks
made a real showing, both the
boys and girls. Incidentally the
hat worn by Ellen was an authen
tic 1900 straw, but she and her
mother retrimmed it for the show
with white plumes and flowers.
It made me wish we wore these
kind of clothes today . . .
Linda Lou Mays, Ruthie Young,
Stanley Walker, and Donny and
Ricky Young modeled for Dor
othy’s Shop.
Danny Mays and Glenn Good
rich appeared for the N.C. Co.
Mary Frances Goedde and Reed
Saario danced the minuet. It was
so cute and like most actresses
of note, Mary Frances went tem
peramental on us when she saw
the spotlight and the audience and
decided to go home. Mrs. Jefford
has a special talent for teaching
the younger set to dance and her
efforts were well repaid by these
two . . . even 'when Pop Brown
unintentionally sabotaged us by
playing the wrong side of the
record so they didn’t recognize
their music, they proved to be
real troupers and went into their
dance.
Jo Marie Weyer modeled a
dress and fancy slip made by her
mother, Mrs. Geo. Weyer. Also
Joy Weyer from the ’’Home
Fashion Dept.”
The very first “live talent” act
on the new stage was the School
Band Combo composed of David
and Peter Barber, Ray Arnold and
Fritz Chambers. It was such a
thrill for me, as I have waited
so long for this stage. I hope in
later years when these boys have
their own bands they will recall
playing at the Fashion Show, in
itiating the stage at “The Little
Theater” in Nome. Though we
didn’t know it at the time, Mrs.
Barber made those good looking
shirts her sons were wearing.
Then followed more models . . .
Diane Wilke, represented the Girl
Scouts, wearing her Intermediate
uniform.
Commentator for the show was
Judy Morris, who, with her very
able helpers, is doing such a fine
job w,ith the Girl Scouts. She
was wearing a lovely suit which
she made from a Vogue pattern.
Hope you took note . . .
Others in the “Home Fashion
Department” were Gay, and Mrs.
Weyer, a mother and daughter
combination of sewing talent.
Both modeled outfits they had
made.
The N.C. Co., had two very
attractive models in Barbara
Knight and Madeline Mogg. The
clothes were like a fresh breath
of spring and made us want to
rush out and get prettied up.
Dorothy’s made a showing of
spring and summer lovelies, with
clothes both frilly-nilly and soph
isticated. Two of the outfits, a
chic suit and a ballerina, were
accented by glamorous furs from
Polet’s, house of fine furs. The
models, Lucie Ann Fagerstrom,
Lorene Larson, Ruth Glavinovich,
and Jo, Myrtle and Ann Cham
bers, together with Jimmie and
Barbara Mays, made as pretty a
picture as you will see.
The dreamy new materials, and
latest patterns now on sale at
Dorothy’s, Cavota’s and the N.C.
Co., are an inspiration to all of us
who sew, to get busy at it.
One of the N.C. models was ill
and unable to be In the show. We
were sorry about that. Also Cav
ota’s models found they were un
able to take part as planned, so
we missed seeing them and all the
pretty and cute things they were
to wear.
The theater lacks adequate
dressing rooms, but with Lillian
Savaria, Mrs. Weyer and Dorothy
Young as “dressers,” and the ter
rific job Anita Mays did as
“starter,” things went very well.
Besides the furs modeled by
Dorothy’s, Polet’s showed a strik
ing parka in spotted rabbit, mod
eled by Arlene Muller.
The Nome Skin Sewers pre
sented two very attractive parkas,
a child’s of gray rabbit, modeled
by Betty Ann Hoogendorn, and a
man’s muskrat parka with Ralph
Willoya the handsome model. All
who wore parkas wore stunning
mukluks to match.
Due to unforeseen circumstan
ces, the jitterbug dance, which was
to have shown hbw the minuet
has been speeded up, had to be
cancelled, but we hope to present
that at a future date.
Our thanks go to all who so

Local 302 Donates Life
Saving Gear to Seattle and
Anchorage Fire Depts.
SEATTLE, UP! — Officials of
Local 302, Operating Engineers’
International Union, has present
ed $8,000 worth of portable life
saving equipment to Anchorage
and Seattle fire departments.
The equipment had been in the
union’s display at the Union-In
dustries show that closed Wednes
day night in the Civic Auditor
ium and Ice Arena.
“We felt the fire departments
were the best agencies to receive
the equipment,” said Jack Mc
Donald, union business manager.
“That way it will be at a central
location and more readily avail
able for use by the public in
event of emergencies.”
“We believe the portable lungs
will be particularly valuable in
Alaska, where polio and other
victims in emergencies so often
must be flown out,” said McDon
ald.
The union has 5,100 members
employed in western Washington
and Alaska.
graciously gave of their time and
talents to make the show a suc
cess. Our special thanks to Mrs.
Tuttle, Judy Morris, Mrs. Weyer,
Ellen Waldheim, Emily Boucher,
Dorothy Young, Anita Mays, Mrs.
Saario, the Goeddes, Mr. Heath
and the Band Combo. To Johnny
Stephenson for the “mike” and
music ... to Pop Brown who can
assure you that style shows are
not for sissys ... to the audience
who so graciously accepted our
not being prepared as yet at the
Theater to coordinate sound booth
and stage equipment . . . and for
making it possible for us to turn
over $84 to Mrs. Verna von der
Heydt, chairman of the local Am
erican Cancer Society, and to
whom we are grateful for the very
interesting and educational film
on cause and care of cancer.
It is our hope that next year
we can really put on a “swish”
affair. With all the talent we know
Nome has to offer, why not make
it an annual Easter project? Large
enough to fill the school auditor
ium, with all interested persons
taking part, all stores and home
fashion artists entering lovely
clothes and models, and the pro
ceeds being equally divided be
tween Cancer, Heart, T.B. and all
other organizations who are called
on here to raise money. This
would not interfere with the reg
ular drives, but would be “icing
on the cake.” The stores get to
display their wares, the models
get the thrill of modeling, the
public gets to see all the pretties,
and all the “funds” benefit.
