Durham, to motor to Annapolis. Th family is going to spend the week end there with Midshipman Jimmy Durham. Then Lucia is going to Roanoke, to enter Hollins College. Kate Young ran into Jimmy while she was visiting in Annapolis a few weeks ago. She never did say whether he was one of the group who painted Tocumseh (the Indian statue the men salute with their left hands for good luck on their exams).

The men claimed that the paint job was absolutely necessary to celebrate V-J Day with the proper spirit. HUSBANDS OF a few girls in town have permanent station, or at least will have the same addresses for a month or so. Joe Dumesnil and his wife, Barbara Rodes, are in Texas. "Topper" Cook, Nancy Burge's husband, is in Manila waiting for his ship to be repaired. Frances Hall's husband, Morgan, is also in Manila Cynthia Thompson Cowger's husband, Bill, has arrived in California from the Pacific.

MARY MARRS SWINEBROAD, Frankfort, has had two hostesses while she has been visiting in Louisville. First she stayed with Betty Brook Fulton, whom she used to know when Betty Brook lived in Frankfort. Then she went to visit Mary Frances Hagan. LT. COL.

GEORGE C. LONG is going to retrace his steps, starting tomorrow, to the same old placa where he has spent the last 20 months Honolulu. Mrs. Long met him in Washington, where they stayed for a few days before coming to Louisville. Mrs.

Maynard Carter, formerly Jackie Gibson of Louisville and now living in Washington, gave a psrty for them. Jackie's husband, a full colonel in the Regular Army, is in Manila. The Longs took a trip out to Fort Meade. to see Lt. Col.

While they were in Washington, Colonel Long was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. MRS. JAMES NUTTER. formerly Vivian Watts of Frankfort, is coming down this week to visit her husband's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

J. H. Nutter. Jimmy, Vivian's husband, has left Pearl Harbor and is on his way to Guam. Guam is where younger brother, Rhodes, who enlisted when he was 18.

is stationed. The two brothers are bound to run Into each other, if Rhodes hasn't left the island. Ily IMT TKM.ITAI.I, OLDHAM County is going to have its fair next Saturday at Mr. E. D.

Axton's farm, Wood-acres, at Skylight, Ky. It will start at 10 and will last until the crowd gets tired and goes home. This is no Kentucky State Fair satellite. Every fall it has attracted droves of people in alien counties who claim it's one of their favorite carnivals of the year. Everybody will have a chance to enter something in the various shows.

If you don't have a baby, but do own a cow, you can enter the livestock show. The baby show will be from 11 to 12. Some years the fair hasn't been able to have a baby show because of polio. The horse show will be just in the afternoon. Jumping classes are scheduled.

Everything a woman likes, but doesn't have the skill to make, will be in the country store quilts, homemade delicacies, crocheted articles and an endless amount of handwork that has almost become a lost art. The flower show will be judged by from Louisville. The Louisville Male High School Band will play in the afternoon and in the evening for a dance. LIBBY FORT didn't have to struggle getting a master of arts degree or a teacher's certificate to see behind the scenes after she was graduated from the University of Louisville. As soon as she received her degree in the summer, Libby went right to work as secretary to the dean of women, who was Miss Emily Taylor, acting in Miss Hilda Threlkeld's absence.

She has had all the advantages of being at school, with no homework, and getting paid in the bargain. One thing really has been clarified. All those people she used to see when she was a student drifting in and out of the dean's office aren't searching for eternal truths. Sometimes they just want to fill their fountain pens, or maybe want to know the time. It's really an information bu.eau.

A short story could be written about the answers students put on their personnel blanks. In reply to the question "What do you want to be doing in 15 years?" one lad named Kitchen said he thought that he would be best equipped to own a string of restaurants. The office touches almost every part of college life, social and scholastic. Libby is going to continue working there this winter for Dean Threlkeld. Her Libby Fort has a job at the University of Louis ville which gives her a behind-the-scenes view.

office is much like "Grand Hotel," with the curtain going up at 8 in the morning. LUCIA DURHAM. Anchorage, after a round of going-away parties, left Friday with her parents, Mr. Engelhard Barr Mr. and Mrs.

Marquis Childs to Have a Busy Stay Here Hy MARY TILFOKI) CLOWES yr i I -ydik ff 4 I I si lr it 1 ii' 1 iii it'll 1 mmi I niversary of the club's founding.

It was a fine occasion for recalling that this is the oldest private club in Jefferson County, having been founded in 1879 when the original clubhouse was a houseboat moored to the City wharf between Second and Seventh. In 1907 the club was moved to property above the pumping station, and in 1911 the first building was erected on its present site on the Upper River Road. There are many people in Louisville who remember commuting out to the club in a surrey with a fringe on top. The serious import of last evening's entertainment was to honor the old members. Oldest in point of time is Roy Whayne, who first paid his dues in 1904; Dale Llnch, housechairman and thus chairman of the party, interviewed him and other early members, Culver Vaughan.

George Ewald and Robert Adams, in conversations that brought out many good stories of bygone years. 2 rextlera Butt In But throughout the evening a merry Hellzapoppin atmosphere prevailed. Each table was furnished with, bowls of cold gravy, potato peelings, vases of faded and downcast flowers, and, v.h unanimity, they all swayed Irri-tatingly on unsteady legs. Behind the bar stood a row of pin' elephants of various sizes tr confuse the unwary imbiber, and snakes and spiders dripped from the ceiling. Guests were kept on the qui vive throughout the evening with unexpected happenings.

Lights flashed off and on, and shrill feminine shrieks arose from dark corners. One unwsry couple, not husband and wife, were handcuffed together for most of the occasion. About 11:30 two hefty wrestlers, clad in tights, interrupted the danr-ing by appearing in the middle of the floor and throwing down their mats. The music stopped and a crowd formed. The fighters then gripped in one hold, released each other, ricked up their mats, and departed as silently and inexplicably as they had come! Mrs.

William W. T. Crane and son, Billy, arrived Friday night from Vero Beach, where Lieutenant Crane is stationed, and are guests of his aunt, Mrs. Roy E. Finnegan, and Mr.

WHEN noted columnist Marquis Childs agreed to come to Louisville this week, there were three distinct groups of people here woo were delighted.

First and foremost, the Committee for Kentucky is eager to have Mr. Childs get a line on its good works, since he plans to write about this unique organization in future newspaper articles. The Women's Action Committee for Victory and Lasting Peace was equally delighted to sign him up as a guest speaker. And thirdly, the energetic League of Women Voters has been trying for many months to inveigle Mr. Childs into bringing it firsthand word, of the desperate food situation in Europe, in which the organization is vitally interested.

Therefore, Mr. Childs is scheduled to have a busy time in Louisville. Arriving late Wednesday afternoon, he will be house guest at the home of Mrs. Barry Bingham in Glenview, and that evening will meet there at dinner some of the people who are particularly concerned with his local visit. Bum Thurtday Planned Thursday noon he will be honored at a luncheon given by Governor Simeon Willis and Mrs.

Willis at the Executive Mansion at Frankfort. Mr. H. Fred Will-kie and Mrs. Charles Farnsley are planning to drive him up, and among others, from town who are going are Judge and Mrs.

Lafon Allen, Judge and Mrs. Henry Tilford, Mrs. John Glover South, and Mr. and Mrs. Jouett Ross Todd.

Other guests, making the group a large luncheon party, will come from neighboring towns. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wachs of The Lexington Leader and Mr. and Mrs.

Tom Underwood of The Lexington Herald will be present. Afterward the Underwoods will take Mr. Childs on a motor tour around our Bluegrass horse farms. His crowded day will come to an end when he returns to Louisville and speaks for the Women's Action Committee that evening on the Brown Roof Garden in a Town Hall meeting open to the public. Cot Her' Editor to Vlit The workers in the finance campaign of the League of Women Voters will have the privilege of hearing Mr.

Childs at luncheon Friday at the Canary Cottage. It is an interesting footnote that Mrs. Fred Smythe, president of the local league, heard him speak last spring when she was attending the national convention of the league in Washington. He had just returned from Europe, where he had made a first-hand study of the food situation, and he had so many interesting things to say that Mrs. Smythe mentally resolved then to try to bring him and his message to Louisville.

Last but not least, Mr. Childs will be present Friday night at the dinner given at the Kentucky Hotel by the Committee for Kentucky for its experts and directors. With President Harry Schac-ter presiding, the group will hear Dr. Maurice Seay of the University of Kentucky deliver his report on education in our state. We understand on best authority that Mr.

Childs feels there is excellent column material in learning how this group is assisting Kentucky to pull itself up by its bootstraps, so to speak. Collier's Weekly also will have an associate editor present at the gathering in the person of Amy Porter (sister of The Courier-Journal's own Marion Porter), who is preparing an article for her magazine about this committee and its work. THE BEAUTIFUL and fanciful chapeau adorning the head of Mrs. Lewis Gorin, Jr. (Eleanor Hutchings), in our picture today is direct from a Parisian milliner, the gift of her husband, Captain Gorin, who has been in the E.T.O.

for two years. It must have been mental telepathy which caused him to select this particular gift, because Eleanor had been heard to say previous to its arrival that she wished he would send her the screwiest hat in France. Her wildest dreams were fulfilled with this particular model, all done up with purple plums, apple blossoms, and a stuffed oriole! f.eiris Met Lindbergh Lewis, who is now in a staging area and expects to be back in this country before long, has had his summer enlivened by several encounters with his younger brother, TSgt. Standiford R. Gorin (familiarly known as who is in the army of occupation in Germany.

Knowing that Tank was about 250 miles south of his own location close to Munich, Lewis wangled the job of escorting 1,000 displaced persons, Russian men, women and children, who were traveling in 50 trucks to a new camp site in the south. Thus he was able to dfop in unexpectedly on his brother and a gala reunion was held. Later in the summer Tank got Photo.

a pass for a few days and, by jeep and farm wagon, hitchhiked in the direction of Lewis' location at Herrshing. Getting close to his destination, the truck in which Tank was riding was stopped by a captain who requested a ride for a trio of feminine companions. From his perch Tank looked down into the officer's face to discover he was gazing at his brother Lewis! (Lewis since has written wife Eleanor that It was his military duty to be escorting those three Red Cross entertainers home from a sailboat ride that afternoon!) Latest news is that Lewis recently has been able to make a second visit south to see Tank, taking a car along this time in which he drove his brother to 1 Miles' view some of the beautiful Bavarian countryside, including Gar-mischpartenkirchen, scene of the German winter Olympics. Lewis also made the discovery that Tank is stationed across the lake -from a former command post he occupied in the Schioss which was the home of Willi Messerschmitt of Nazi airplane fame. It was here also that Lewis had his surprise encounter and interesting talk with Col.

Charles Lindbergh, who just arrived unannounced and unexpectedly one day in a jeep.
