Miss Jean Butts Received An '
Award At Phi Mu Centennial
One of the highlights of Phi Mu
Fraternity's Centennial Conven
tion held in Macon this past week
was the presentation of an award
to Miss Jean Butts of Athens. Miss
Butts was one of twelve girls
selected from over the nation as
the most outstanding collegiate
members of the fraternity. Mrs.
Joseph Gallapher, national colleg
iate vice-president, presented the
award to Miss Butts at the Achi
evement Dinner on June 25.
Forty-three officers, 140 alum
nae and collegiate delegates, and
245 visitors, a total of 428 Phi Mus,
returned to Wesleyan College the
birthplace of Phi Mu to celebrate
the Fraternity’s one hundredth
birthday.
Following the arrival of the Phi
Mu Special Train at the Wesleyan
Station, E. S. Sell, jr., former Ath
enian and city attorney of Macon,
presented Mrs. Landon Freear, na
tional president, with a “key to the
city.” The centennial opening ses
sion was highlighted by a proces
sional of delegates and an address
by Erle Cocke, jr., consultant to
the Department of Defense and
past National Commander of the
American Legion,
At the presentation dinner on
Monday evening the fraternity
presented three huge, brass chan
deliers to Wesleyan for the college
dining room. During Wesleyan’s
centennial in 1936 the fraternity
presented the college with brick
gates erected at the main campus
entrance.
Among the hostesses for the
“Get-Acquainted Party” Monday
night were the Athens Alumnae
Chapter and The University of
Georgia collegiate chapter. These
groups were represented at con
vention by Miss Marion West, of
Athens, and Miss Charlotte Moran,
of Atlanta, respectively. 2
Tuesday was Philomathean Day,
detailing the past, present, and fu
ture of Phi Mu in the old Wesleyan
building where Phi Mu had its
birth as the Philomathean Society
Lace Making In
France Takes
On New Career
By NADEANE WALKER
AP Newsfea_tur.es :
CALAIS — Thanks to postwar
fashion trends, this badly bombed
French coastal city is back in
business as the lace capital of the
world.
For one of the newest darlings of
fashion is that old-fashioned
favorite, lace. In turning to lace,
the designers have turned lace into
one of France’s top dollar-earning
exports, for France is the world’s
largest producer. Last year’s two
leaders of the dollar export list
were steel—and lace.
But the fragile, yellowed laces
folded away in lavender in grand
mother’s chest bear little resem
blance to the fabrics that come
clicking off the busy machines
these days. Perhaps the biggest
difference is in the price tag, for
lace has moved out of the luxury
class, and the days when only a
wealthy woman could wear it are
gone.
Although it is the post-war
fashion trend towards femininity
that has brought lace back into
favor, it may soon be possible to
be a tomboy in lace. For sports
wear items as slacks and beach
wear. It is arleady being used for
daytime suits.
Nearly all lace used to be made
in the form of edgings, trimmings
and insertions for dainty un
mentionables, but one wholesale
firm now reports it handles 90 per
cent dress laces, and only 10 per
cent trimmings.
Lace - makers hope that new
formg and uses of lace may free
them in the future, to some extent,
from the foibles of fashion. Calais
is booming now, but a mill owner,
recalling the lean 1930’5, when
‘women went in for mannish suits,
' said reminiscently:
“We lived on bread and tea,
'Heaven knows how _we came
through it.” '
Even with the new general
slump in the textiles market, lace
makers can afford to be optimistic,
for their sales are off less than
those of other fabrics. Laces are
20 per cent cheaper than they
were four months ago, they
estimate.
France consumes 20 per cent of
its own lace production, and
America takes nearly half its
exports, mostly in the form of
clipped, or nand-finished'. laces.
Since these are .more expensive
than the unclipped American
variety, the duty is only 85 per
cent, as compared to 65 per cent
on cheaper, competitive laces.
Canada, Australia and Mexico
are next-best customers. Lace
exports earned eleven billion
francs for France last year.
Colored laces are as popular
as the classic black and whites |
nowadays. “Mink brown” lace has
had a run of popularity, and the
Calais mills hint that blues will
be a favorite this fall. Cotton,
silk, nylon. and acetate laces are
equally. fashionable.
According to one authority on
lace, Eve’s fig leaf may have
started it all. “The toothed or
serrated edges of leaves fur
| nished the inspiration for the
first lace,” he claims. “It is
quite apparent that it was evolved
or invented for decorative rather
than utilitarian purposes.”
Although it is still glamorous,
lace has finally become wearable
and often washable as well,
Lace-makers are always experi
menting with new designs and
patterns for lace, but old-fashion
ed roses, leaves and floral effects
still seem to have a monopoly.
«“The difficulty,” explains & de
signer, “is finding anything else
sufficiently continuous in pattern
for the machines to follow.”
Two extremes, spidery - fine
Chantilly and heavy, embroidery
| like “guipure” are modern favor
ites.
The natural color of silk lace
is a beautiful yellow, but this is
always dyed over or bleached out
| because it fades if left alone.
All lace—and particularly nylons
—come off the machines in a drab
grey, picked up from the graphite
used to lubricate the machinery.
The first lace machines were
used about 1820, effectively de-
on March 4, 1852. Early members
and third and fourth generation
descendants of the founders were
honored. A tea honoring present
angd past national officers and Pan
hellenic guests in the Wesleyan
Conservatory parlors and a visit
to the Philomathean Room, Phi
Mu‘s Memorial, highlighted Tues
day afternoon.
Wednesday, at a luncheon hon
oring alumnae, Mrs. William B.
Wilcox, national extension. dir
ector, presented to Mrs. Clifford
Tuck, president of the Athens
Alumnae Chapter, the Chapter’s
charter. The Athens alumnae are
the second group in the State to
receive a charter from the Na
tioanl Council.
Other Athenians attending the
convention included Mrs. Lee
Bradberry, Mrs. Randall Bedgood,
Mrs. John Wilkinson, Mrs, C. A.
Rowland, jr., Miss Babs Hubert,
and Miss Marie Hodgson.
Convention events also included
a Southern-style picnic, a tour of
Macon’s antebellum homes, many
with historic Phi Mu background;
a memorial service held in Wesle
yvan College’'s formal garden; and
round-table discussions on timely
fraternity subjects.
The Centennial Celebration was
climaxed Friday night with a
Birthday Banquet. Phi Mus repre
senting the historic first century
placed a letter in the Memorial
Room to be opened only by the
Phi Mus attending the national
convention in the year 2052. The
document tells of the maturity
and accomplishment of an organi
zation founded a century ago by
women who go deeply believed in
their great American cultural
heritage that they were willing to
devote .their lifetimes to preserv
ing it.
There is no doubt among Phi
Mus today, as they launch their
second century, that their sisters
of 2052 will remain steadfast and
morally responsible to cultural
standards and altruistic odjectives
proposed by the founders in 1852.
stroying the hand-made lace in
dustry (the small amount of hand
made laces still produced come
largely from Brussels). Most of
the lace mills at Calais were de
stroyed by war - time bombing and
shelling, but all those left are
now back in operation. The in
dustry employs 9,000 people in
France, at the three lace cities
of Calais, Lyons and Caudry.
Mill owners say it takes ten vears
to train a good all - round lace
worker.
Happily for the woman who fan
cies lace, prices have changed
since the days of Napoleon III;
he paid forty thousand dollars to
buy for the Empress Eugenie
probably the most expensive lace
gown in history.*

Canning Plant At
Winterville Opens
The Winterville School Cannery |
opened its 1952 season today with
a plant showing many improve
ments over the previous season.
The plant is operating on Tues
day and Thursday this week be
cause of the holiday week-end but
will return to the regular Tues
day and Friday schedule next
week.
The patrons were busy today
learning the new procedures
brought about by the new equip
ment recently installed. The plant
is now well equiped for process
ing in either tin cans or glass jars
from the blanching operation
through the cooling operation.
The old cabinet blancher has
been replaced with two new batch |
type blanchers which are easily
operated by the patrons and
eleminates the heavy trays pre-.
viously used.
A major improvement which |
will please many is the installation |
of an automatic exhauster which
replaces the old boiling water vat
exhausters, Filled cans are placed
on a conveyor chain which carries |
the product through an exhaust
tunnel and delivers it to the seal
er at the proper sealing tempera
ture. This process speeds the ex- |
haust operation and increases the |
efficiency of operation. |
Two new pressure cookers and |
two new atmospheric cookers
have also been installed which |
process tin or glass. i
The cooling area has been en
larged and a spray type cooling |
system installed which also ac- |
commodates both tin and glass. ‘
Guy W. Cabe, teacher of Agri
culture at Winterville, said that!
the food processing center is now
up-to-date in processing equip—’
ment and procedures and will be
able to turn out a product of better !
quality.
