'Most Valued
Players' Get
Trip To U.S.
Fred Williams, 21-year-old Air
man 2nd Class from Milwaukee,
Wis., and James “Jet” Douglas,
22-year-old Charlotte, N. C.f Air
man, also 2nd Class, are the envy
of thousands of servicemen sta
tioned overseas. As the result of
winning the “Most Valuable Play
ers Award” contest conducted by
the U. S. Air Force and sponsor
ed by Philip Morris Inc., Will
iams and Douglas were flown
Stateside by MATS to attend the
World Series in New York City
and granted additional furlough
to visit with relatives and friends
before returning to their bases in
England.
Both airmen are former profes
sional baseball players. Both are
pitchers and both aso play the out
field. Williams was a left fielder
for the Baltimore Orioles and
Douglas both pitched and played
outfield for the Harlem Globe
trotters. They were selected the
“Most Valuable Players” in the
United Kingdom Air Force Base
ball League from the votes of their
coaches, competing players, and
baseball fans in Europe where
they played. The cigarette comp
any acted as host during their stay
in New York.
On arriving in New York, O.
Parker McComas, President of
Philip Morris Inc. presented the
airmen with World Series tickets.
On the same occasion, Mel Ryder,
publisher of the Army Times Pub
lishing Company, presented them
with specially engraved gold
watches honoring them for their
selection as the Most Valuable
Players
During the World Series “Jet”
was an unflinching Dodgers’ fan
while his buddy, Williams, favored
the Yankees. Both boys agreed
that attending the World Series
was not only a “dream trip home”
but it was also an education in it
self. Following their tour of duty
the airmen hope to return to pro
fessional baseball. “We discover
ed a lot of valuable playing tips,”
they said enthusiastically, “and the
last game of the Series was the
best baseball we’ve ever seen.”
Besides taking in the World Ser
ies, Williams and Douglas met
celebrities, including World Heavy
weight Champion Rocky Marciano,
and a host of baseball headliners.
They appeared on raido and TV
programs, and reported their
views of the Series for armed
forces publications and were in
terviewed by the United Press for
their comments on the Series. The
airmen were guests of the Over
seas Press Club of America and
New York's Uptown Press Club.
In between rounds of activities the
boys headquartered at the Hotel
Taft where there was no K.P.,
reveille, or chow line!

Methodists
Join Chain
Prayers
St. Paul Meth. Church, Omaha
(Rev. Alva H. Clark) is among
more than 1300 churches taking
part in a year-long “chain of
prayer” developed by the Prayer
Life Movement of the General
Board of Evangelism of the Meth
odist Church.
On November 2 members of
the congregation will take turns
in a 24 hour vigil, adding another
link in the 365 days of continu
ous prayer.
They will be relieved by other
groups as day and night, around
the clock, clergymen, laymen,
women and children kneel at the
altars of city and country church
es.
On New Year’s Day the chain’s
first links were hammered out in
the prayers of Methodists in elev
en cities and towns - joining the
staff and employees of the Meth
odist General Board of Evangel
ism and three of the Nashville
Churches in The Upper Room
Chapel were churches in New
York, Washington, C h i c a go,
Memphis, San Antonio, Phoenix,
Arizona; Ashland, Kentucky;
Minter City, Mississippi; Holder,
Missouri; and Springfield, Ore
gon.
Every day of the year is sched
uled for two or more churches.
When the last “Amen" is whis
pered next January 1, 1956 at
6 p.m., in churches of Ogden.
Utah, and Allston, Massachusetts,
it is estimated that 50,000 to
100,000 persons will have partici
pated in the relay prayer.
Peace is expected to be at the
top of most prayer lists, tying
in with the Methodist Crusade
for World Order, a churchwide
emphasis of 1955. Pastors are
asked to meet with their prayer
teams to discuss community
reeds, and world areas of con
cern.
This prayer Movement is spon
sored by the Methodist Board of
Evangelism, Nashville, Tennes
see, and is one of the great pray
er programs being developed by
the -‘Prayer Life Movement” for
1955. “We hope that prayer
[cells will be formed in every
Methodist home and church, and
that other denominations will
join us,” said Dr. Harry Denman,
executive secretary of the board.

Top Fashion Designer Does It Again
Ask your mother about style and she’ll tell you that Paris was the
place where fashion beauty was born. Today, however, more and more
American women look to good old New York for the fashion line.
The reason why the fashion focus has shifted is Claire McCardell,
creator of the casual American Look. It was back in 1938 that this
American-born designer first made a major contribution to the fashion
parade with her Monastic dress. Loose-hanging and cut on the bias,
it revolutionized the dress industry.
Remember the Dirndl skirt?
Claire McCardell designed it for
American women along with trouser
pockets. The “riveted look," the
“diaper” bathing suit and the craze
for ballet slippers were started by
her in 1942.
Her success as a native A merican
designer has inspired many others
but .she stays right at the top of her
held. From bathing suits on up she’s
doing her best to make American
women attractive—even while doing
housework. A wrap-around cover
all denim popover she created sold
75,000 immediately after it was
introduced.
One of her most recent creations
is the beautiful Hostess Sash, at
left, designed exclusively for Modess
and Yes Tissues and available for
$2 and a box top.
The Hostess Sash is a gay party
: apron and comes in bright-red and
I green. It features an eight-foot sash
which can be tied in many atti active
j styles.
