72 red roses, an old umbrella: prize
A local woman, Mrs.
Eugene Wenger of R.D. #1
Mount Joy, recently de-
signed and sewed a prize-
winning gown.
The gown, an elaborate
creation with three-dimen-
sional red cloth roses, won
first place in the costume
competition at the Miss
Pennsylvania pageant. It
was worn by Sandra Kreid-
er of ‘Lancaster, our
county’s contestant.
Doris Wenger has been
making custom wedding
gowns for the last eight
years, but her creations
never won a prize before.
Miss Kreider heard about
her sewing ability from a
recently-married friend
whom Doris had worked
for, and hired Doris to
make her outfit.
Besides the gown, Miss
Kreider also carried a
parasol which Doris made
from an old umbrella. She
used the handle and ribs,
but replaced the fabric with
17 strips of material similar
to the gown'’s.
Both the gown and
parasol are covered with a
total of 72 roses of various
sizes, as well as green
leaves and stems. Doris
made the cloth foliage by
folding and hand sewing.
She used S yards of cloth
just for the roses. ‘‘The
roses took about three
times as long to make as
the rest of the gown,”
Doris told us.
Both parasol and gown
are edged with lace and
ruffles.
Doris didn’t want to tell
us how much she charged
Miss Kreider for the outfit,
but apparently it wasn’t
very much for about 10
days’ full-time work. “I
didn't want to overcharge
her. I enjoyed it.”’ she told
us, ‘“‘but I did put a lot of
work into it. I was worried
that the price 1 finally
settled on was too high, so

room contains chess journ-
als, chess books, chess
trophies, and, of course,
chess pieces.
However, there isn’t a
chess board: instead,
there’s a piece of plastic
with squares printed on it.
“I use this because it folds
up for travelling,” says
Mr. Shields.
One of his seven trophies
was won in a match against
a Grand Master, but Mor-
rell Shields is modest about
it. ‘‘He was playing against
2S other people at the same
time, so it wasn’t really a
fair fight,”’ he told us.
Mr. Shields first learned
the moves in 1933, but
didn’t really study the
game until his friend, the
late Paul Portner of Mari-
etta, began to beat him on
a regular basis. Paul had
been studying chess books.
Morrell Shields now has
many books on the chess
game, or rather, portions of
it. Some cover the opening,
some the middle game, and
others the end game. Most
of them were won in
tournaments, so they aren’t
all appropriate: two vol-
umes are written in Rus-
sian, for instance.
Although Mr. Shields
doesn’t understand Rus-
sian, he does know French,
which helps him communi-
cate with foreign oppon-
ents. He told us that many
European chess players are
also stamp collectors, and
that several had asked him
to send postcards with
specific stamps on them.
Many of the postcards he
receives contain conversa-
tional messages, although
all that is required is four
numbers. (Each square on
the chess board is number-
waits for you.

means ‘‘move the piece on

Chess by mail can take a
long time. One game in the
recent tournament was still
in progress when the two
year limit was reached. The
game went to judges who
decided against Mr.
Shields on the basis of his
one-pawn lag. His oppon-
ent, a Finn, won the game.

Miss Kreider got $100 for
wearing the gown on the
contest night.
Doris, who started sew-
ing in 7th grade, does
other work besides wedd-
ing gowns, but likes wedd-
ings the best. She collects
photos of brides wearing
her gowns.
