Kimbrough's Life Full
Of Adventure, Mishaps
Emily Kimbrough, authoress and lecturer who will be the fourth
Community forum speaker of the year tonight at 8 o’clock in Schwab
auditorium, has led as fascinating life of adventure and mishap.
Single tickets, priced at $l, are on sale for the lecture at the Stu
dent Union desk in Old Main. Seasoh tickets will be honored at the
door.
Miss Kimbrough, who has been an editor and screen writer as
well as author and lecturer, got
her first job by mistake. She
walked into the advertising de
partment of the Marshall Field
store in Chicago wearing a pic
ture hat and carrying a poodle.
She Got The Job
She never expected to get the
position because she was dressed
to go to a party instead of to
work, but she got the job and a
short time later became editor
of Field’s “Fashions of the Hour.”
Following her job with the
Field store, Miss Kimbrough be
came fashion editor of Ladies’
Home Journal and eventually
managing editor of the Journal.
It was during her stay with that
magazine that she scandalized the
dignified office staff by looking
at fashion sketches while flat on
her stomach on the floor.
Unusual Position
Every once in awhile, Miss
Kimbrough would roll over oh
her back and peruse the sketches
at arms’ length. Memo after me
mo poured into her office citing
the dignity of the company and
its responsibilities to its readers,
but there is no record that the
memos produced the desired ef
fect.
t Miss Kimbrough’s lecture style
is bright and biographical. She
. often repeats some of her' favo
rite adventures or tells of the un
usual' persons she has met.

ord high of 3671 ballots.'
Today’s count was 23 per cent
of the total eligible voters and
represented a new first-day rec

OK's Pollock
Bus Proposal
The Pollock council’s proposal
to request hourly bus service be
tween State College and Belle
fonte was approved by H. 151. Wil
son, dean of men, yesterday.
“It is all right with me if the
students want it,” the dean told
Nittany-Pollock council members
Robert Faust and Henry Pitt. But
he added that he felt there wasn’t
any demand for transportation to
Bellefonte.
The proposal was brought up
at the Pollock council meeting
Tuesday night. At that time Pitt
told the committee he had draft
ed a letter to the Greyhound com
pany and the Edwards Lakes-to
the-Sea firm.
Pitt stated in the letter that
there is a definite need for a bus
franchise in State College. “The
recreation facilities in State Col
lege,” he said ni the letter, “are
inadequate.”
Robert Stottlemyer, Pollock
council member, reported ' Tues
day to the council that airforce
personnel are moving into the
area “sometime next week.” He
urged that the dorm presidents
do all in their power to better
relations with the new residents.
Washing machines for the Nit
tany-Pollock area will arrive next
week, John Smerke of the public
welfare committee reported.
Leonard Tomazin, council pres
ident, announced that extra sub
scriptions to popular magazines
had been obtained for the TUB.
He also urged the members to
ask the residents in their dorms
to back the current blood drive.
The quota for the Nittany-Pol
lock area is thirty volunteers, b*
said.
