tion of Texas Association of Hos-
pital Auxiliaries, held May 19-

Mrs. Bruce Wright and Mrs.
Charles Compton.
Dr. Bolton Boone, executive
director of the Methodist Hos-

“button-bustin' ” proud that his
auxiliary was one of the charter
members of the TAHA.
Dr. Boone pointed out that
hundreds of hospitals would be
facing embarrasssing situations
in patient care were it not for
the services and modern equip-
ment which are furnished by the
auxiliaries.
He praised the auxiliaries as
fund-raisers, as community re-
lations builders and as volun-
teers.
“Our volunteer hands,” Dr.
Boone said, “represent many
talents and without their help and
devotion we could not have made
our hospitals what they are.”
Other program features in-
cluded workshops on Auxiliary
Leadership, The Hospital Volun-
teer Program, People With
People in the Hospital, New Let-
ters and Films.
Special entertainment was a
Dixieland buffet, Monday at 7
p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of
Statler - Hilton Hotel and a
theatre party at Dallas Theatre
Center when registrants saw
Spoon River Anthology.
Needles and pins and
thread all stay together
where you can find them if
you make a miniature pin
cushion out of a spool of
thread. Just stick a cotton
cosmetic ball in the hole in
one end of the spool, and
keep pins and a needle
there.

he probably works only as a salesman for an

in you or your claim.
But call us, and we’ll say, “We’ll help you

Be sure to get the correct
size in socks for children.
It’s just as important as the
right size in shoes. For
healthy, growing feet, foot
specialists recommend ab-
sorbent all-cotton socks, in
a size at least one-half inch
longer than the child’s long-
est toe.

Pigtails and Pinafore Gone -
The Story Behind America's 'New' 8-Year-Old
One of the best-known and
loved young misses in America,
Morton Salt Company’s little
girl w it h her umbrella, has
received her fifth change of
fashion.
In her first facelift since 1956,
she wears her hair short. Gone
are the pigtails, bobby sox and
pinafore. Her former yellow
and white umbrella now is
lavender and white.
The salt package she identi-
fies has been* modernized, too,
and made more attractive.
Changing the yellow top and
bottom to white accents the
purity of the salt, but the
pouring spout and patented
shaker top are retained. The
color of the package has re-
turned to the original rich blue.
Little Miss Morton has been
marching through the rain and
into the hearts of millions for
more than a half century. She
has helped make her product
the nation’s favorite salt, one
of just a few items available in
nearly every grocery outlet
across the land.
Back in 1911, the Chicago-
based salt company began na-
tional promotion of its new
product: the original free-run-
ning salt in a round blue pack-
age with a patented pouring
spout.
A proposed series of 12 ads
— along with three possible
substitutes — was brought to
the company. Attention turned
immediately to one of the al-
ternates: a little girl with curls,
holding an umbrella and a
tilted package of salt. She told
the entire story in a picture:
the salt would pour in damp
weather.
The intended slogan, “Even
in rainy weather, it flows
freely.” was appropriate but
not short and snappy. When the
old proverb, “It never rains
but it pours,” was vetoed as
too negative, it was rephrased
into, “When It Rains It Pours.”
She and her slogan first ap-
peared on the package in 1914.
Unlike Little Orphan Annie,
the ageless Morton umbrella
girl has been given a new
wardrobe and hair style from
time to time to keep her fash-
ionable. The first change came
in the 20’s. In the 30’s she ap-
peared in “Shirley Temple”
curls, so popular then. Pigtails
first were seen in the 40’s and
in the 50’s she took on her
jaunty look that lasted until
this year.
The 1968 change reflects the
modern appearance of Ameri-
ca’s eight-year-old “girl next
door.”
