Description
Photograph article dated March 28, 1961 partially reads, "Fortunately, there are as many answers to that question as there are women. Each is different, with her own individual interests, her own personality and her own very special charms. There are, however, a number of things that almost every woman would like to be - gay and frivolous, sound and practical, fashionable, attractive, a charming companion, a clever conversationalist and gracious homemaker. That's why so many smart women in the Valley enjoy the Valley Times TODAY every day. They let the Women's pages, under the direction of Miss Ade Banks, help them with their food and homemaking problems. They follow the fashion trends and reports from the Women's page staff. They regularly find helpful beauty care tips from Joan Dew, Valley Times TODAY beauty editor. And they enjoy such newsy notes and features about their Valley neighbors as "8 To 5," "Scene," and "Briefly Speaking," plus the timely and interesting feature stories by Charlene Schueller, Valley Times TODAY staff writer." Pictured is Miss Dew, who later became Joan Schmitt.
