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.

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.
