Five Teen-Age Boys and a Girl
Have Formed New Dance Band
With the musical style of
Tommy Dorsey, six teenagers
have formed a successful
new band called “The Star
lighters.” This fabulous five
plus one includes sax man.
Oreg Hutton, Bob Stagner on
the clarinet, trumpet player
Bob Hampton, Paul Wlers on
the trombone, Larry Beck on
drums AND one girl, Martha
Angle, who’s hep on boogie
woogie. playing the piano.
This is really some outfit!
"The Starlighters,” as Paul
Wiers explained, “started just
/fancy tmatT'N*
(•me 57A*LeHTSfi557*
about a month ago. and busi
ness has been good. We play
mostly at the 'Bethesda Y-
Cottage at their dances; our
next appearance will be on
the nineteenth of August.”
This entire musical-minded
group is under 16 years of
age, all of them are B-CC
High students and all of them
can hardly wait until school
starts to get the business
booming by playing at school
functions and private parties.
“We HAVE TO make some
money,” Paul explained, “not
just for our own profit but to
buy more music to get even
better!"
These high-class, nonunion
“Starlighters” can play any
thing! “We're strictly a dance
band and we can play all
kinds of music. And we sound
a little like Tommy Dorsey,
or rather, we copy his style,”
Paul continued.
“I decided on the name of
•Starlighters’ when press re
leases were sent out from the
Y-Cottage about our playing
there. No one else was around
to help me decide, so I just
chose that: it’s not much of
a name, but it will have to do!”
Paul laughed.
“As for the band routine,”
Paul said, “We dress in dark
pants, white jackets and black
bow ties. Meanwhile, the
piano-player, the girl, wears
whatever the girls coming to
the dance would wear! We
play for two hours at a time
with a 15-mlnute break. Real
ly, we could play straight
through the whole dance if
anyone wanted us to I”

Back-to-College
Fashion Show
For all of you girls who will
be off to college, whether for
the first or last time, here is
a real treat: On Wednesday,
August 10, in the Main Ball
room of the Mayflower Hotel, •
Jellefi’s will present its an
nual college fashion show. Last
year the main ballroom was
positively jammed (even with
boys who wanted to see all the
gorgeous college coeds do the
modeling!) and it was a huge
success.
For a quick fall forecast on
colors, Mrs. Boteler, the fash
ion consultant, said. “Brown,
copper and green will be this
year’s most popular colors. The
neutral colors will be the best
for everything!”
Remember, this Wednesday,
at 8:30 p.m. is a fashion show
you’ll really enjoy!
Red Cross Has Best
Swimming Program
The American Red Cross !
swimmer training program in
Washington is considered to
be one of the best in the en
| tire Nation. This program is
designed to teach lifesavers to
deal with all sorts of hazards
that swimmers are exposed to i
: —ranging from varying
: depths of water and shifting j ,
currents above and below the i
surface, to sudden changes in
the weather. _
And since this is the best j
place to learn life-saving
techniques. Seventeen maga- »
zine has written about four
lifesavers. However, for a
strictly girl magazine, a huge
surprise came when the teen
agers were all boys. Stealing
| the limelight from the girls
in the August issue are Ted
Keenan, 19; James Isher- !
wood, 16; Robert Nau, 17,
and Stuart Marder.
** « *
This week's top tune for
| the entire Nation is Bill j
Haley's "Rock Around the j
I Clock ” The fastest rising
new recording is the Gaylords’
| disc of the medley of old- j
I time songs. Real neat!
See you next Friday! L
G.O.P. Poll
Is Planned
Organization of the “Poll
Takers of America,” comprised
of key Republican women
workers, wtCa announced today
by Leonard W. Hall, Republi
can National chairman.
The polls, which will be con
ducted in one representative
precinct in each of the Nation’s
approximately 3,000 counties,
has “the three-pronged ob
jective of finding out what
voters are thinking, stimulat
ing Republican activity and
building organization, accord
ing to Miss Bertha Adkins,
assistant to the G. O. P. chair
man for women's activities.
Miss Adkins will direct the
project and assemble a compe
tent poll-taking force. The first
poll will be conducted Septem
ber 29.
A six-member committee
will draft the questions to be
asked. Members of the group,
which will hold its first meet
ing today, are:
Robert B. Anderson, retir
ing Deputy Secretary of De
fense: Mrs. Eva Bowring, for
mer United States Senator
from Nebraska; Dr. James P.
Baxter, president of Williams
College; Mrs. Lawrence H.
Smith, former president of
the American Legion Auxiliary
and the wife of Representative
Smith of Wisconsin; Nate
Crabtree of Minneapolis and
Mrs. Elizabeth Maher, public
relations specialist, of New
York City.
Miss Adkins pointed out
that the poll idea “was given ;
several test runs in the ’54 !
Congressional campaign and 1
we feel the results prompted
wider utilization in the pre
-1956 election period."
Miss Adkins that women j
G. O P. leaders, who met here ■
last spring, greeted the plan i
for ’56 enthusiastically when 1
it was outlined to them by I
Robert Humphreys, national
campaign director.
Answers to the questions !
"will serve as an influential
guide in the development of I
our national campaign and in j
building a responsible effective !
party,” Miss Adkins continued.
ANDERSON
MAKES CHOICE
Inclusion of the name of
retiring Deputy Secretary of
Defense Robert B. Anderson
on a Republican poll commit
tee. appointed by GOP Chair
man Leonard Hall, seemed to
put to rest rumors that the
Texan, an Eisenhower Dem
ocrat in 1952, was planning
to run for governor of Texas
as a Democrat next year.
The stated objectives of the
poll which Anderson’s com-
I mittee will draft Include
"stimulating Republican acr
tlvlty and building organl
; zation.”

McBRIDE
Pity United Nations Host!
Next time you make the
mistake of seating next to
each other at dinner two who
don't speak, just be grateful
you aren’t the Secretary-Gen
eral of the United Nations,
charged with arranging func
tions including dinners that
must take into consideration
the habits, customs and man
ners, even the religions, of all
the peoples of the world, as
well as their human likes and
dislikes.
The United States Senate
can open its sessions with
prayer, but the United Na
tions, with representatives of
so many religions that take
different forms, can only ob
serve a moment of silence
which individual members
may use, each in his own way.
The meditation room at the
U. N. must be carefully bare
of items which might be sym
bolical of any specific religion
During the recent San
Francisco commemorative
meeting for the 10th anniver
sary of the U. N. organization,
a dispatch noted that there
was no music, and for good
reason. In the first place there
is no official U. N. anthem and
if a band attempted any
country’s national song, it
would have to follow with 59
others. Besides, what order
would you play them in to
j avoid hurt feelings, and. worse.
International complications?
The founders of the U. N.
understood this: one man who j
was at the earliest sessions as
well as the anniversary obsei
| vance recalled th-t back there
in 1945 a military band kept
far away from controversial
melodic themes by playing and
replaying “Lover Come Back
j to Me.”
A simple U. N. tea party j
might conceivably upset the
relationship of several coun- ;
j tries. For as different as the I
i languages are the customs. So '

much so that good manners to
one group are actually bad
manners to another.
One group is accustomed to
sit on the floor while eating.
Others have been taught that
belching is the way to indicate
that one has had a satisfying
and good meal. There are some
whose beliefs prohibit the eat
ing of beef; to others roasted
sheeps' eyes are special deli
cacies.
In certain societies, good
manners require that one does
not accept food until it has
been offered three times. In
others, second helpings are
impolite and good manners re
quire that a little food be left
on the plate.
After the menu is set so
that nobody’s taste will be
violated, the matter of drink
ing must be dealt with. Alco
hol is an accepted and ex
pected part of life for some j
‘guests, for others is rigidly
banned.
But these matters, while
they count certainly, are really
secondary. So much more than
manners, geography, language
and cultural backgrounds sep
arate man from man, mind
from mind, that the accom
plished fact of the United
Nations’ 10 years of existence
and work are infinitely more
remarkable than seems to the
casual glance.
The fact is that these widely
separated men and women do
i get together and have learned
to work and to negotiate in
groups. That is the triumph- I
ant and hopeful fact.
