have gained through travel
enables me to give the public
what they want to serve
them.”
Although currently
operating out of her home,
Mrs. Jones plans to open a
shop here. She is listed in the
telephone directory and will be
doing gowns for the
Debutantes Ball and is available
for other work.
A divorcee, she has two
children. Barry and Charmane.
Barry is a 9th grader at
Tubman Junior High and
Clarmane is a Freshman at
Paine College.
In her work, Mrs. Jones
specializes in “individuality”
“Every woman should have an
individual style that makes her
stand out. The important thing
is to be yourself.”
Philosophically, she adds,
“Designing is the epitome of
creating. When I do something,
I want to do it best. My
fashion designing is dependent
upon my desire and I want to
look where I’m going and not
where I’ve been. The only
design I want to do is the one I
haven’t done yet.”
She expresses her views on
charm through a poem by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
“When you praised her as
charming, some asked what
you meant.
But the presence of her was
felt wherever she went.
You cannot define charm in
a word or measure it with a
ruler or weigh it on a scale.
But you know when you are
in its presence, you are warmed
by it and made to feel that life
is good. It is easier to disect
charm that to find it.

When a bird calls, we listen.
To the mewing of gulls. The three! of the hunting hawk.
The hoo-eek! hoo-eek! of a wood duck coming to roost
in a beaver pond. The iambic call of a bobwhite quail.
Each of nature’s voices has a message, from the
silence of a flower to the rhythmic roar of the sea. But
the time for just listening is gone. Strong environmental
action is needed now.
That’s why we pay farmers to plant transmission
rights-of-way with crops for wildlife. Have professional
foresters caring for our 62,000 acres of woodlands.
Build cooling towers to protect the rivers. And install
electrostatic precipitators to keep the air fresh and clean.
Through these and many other programs, we’ve ac
tively promoted conservation for a long time. And are
especially active now. Because it could be now, or never.
