Carrousel By BRANDY BRENT Society Columnist In this day and age of AIR CONSCIOUSNESS (if we may be permitted a slight understatement!), it is no small wonder that several hundred aviation bigwigs and flying enthusiasts turned out for the annual banquet of the Aero Club of Southern California at the Hollywood Roosevelt Monday night. COULD BE, of course, that the added excitement and glamour of having Dot Lemon as the clambake's majordomo had something to do with the extraordinary interest engendered this year. If so, nobody remained earthbound. For the peppery aviatrix-music patron did a jet-propelled job all down the line. Preliminary "take-off" occurred at a penthouse cocktail party at the Roosevelt which was attended by the biggest brass in Southern California aviation. And since the dynamic chairman had even gone as far as to write a script and rehearse the actions for one of the program's skits, Pegg (Mrs. David) Tamkin acted as hostess for the first half hour. Then the svelte, carrot-topped gal arrived with all the winsomeness of a two-ton blockbuster! We experienced a thrilling touch with the very genesis of aviation history when we spotted famed Aviatrix Ruth Law (she was the FIRST woman to fly a plane!) chatting with Walter Brookins (he was the Wright brothers' FIRST student and America's first civilian pilot) and Vice-Adm. H. M. Martin (Commander, Fleet Air Force, Pacific). [[Picture]] Walter Brookins, Ruth Law, Vice-Adm. Martin Before recovering our breath from THAT encounter, whom should we spot talking planes like FURY but famed Maj. Igor Sikorsky and the great American prima donna, Dusolina Giannini (who later started the banquet off with a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that made your spine tingle.) Elsewhere warming up for the downstairs function were genial Toastmaster John Clarke, Adm. Charles Horne, CAA Administrator, COngressman Carl Hinshaw, Ben Whalen (generalissimo of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.), Hail Hibbard, veep and chief engineer of Lockheed), Woody de Silva, the astute manager of our giant Los Angeles International Airport; Film Director Henry King (who has made SO MANY fine aviation pictures), Harry Coffin, prexy of vast National Aeronautical Association; the William C. Hartshorns, Ray W. Smith and a gliderfull more. [[Picture]] Mme. Giannini, Igor Sikorsky Once AIRBORNE, things went along at SUPERSONIC speeds down in the Blossom Room. George Devenney, Arthur Hamer and Jane Lind of Santa Monica's Theatre Guild enacted a raucous lampoon of the present election campaign. Ineze Caston directed her Trinity Baptist Church Gospel Chorus in several inspiring numbers and Andrew Neff, Aero Club's prexy, made the address of welcome. And finally Jimmy Mattern, the veteran round-the-world flyer, presented Walter Brookins with the Veteran Air Pilots FIRST annual award in an inspiring ceremony. Among the HUNDREDS of others we spotted were Art LaVove (Pan America's ace tub thumper), KTTV's Roy Maypole, Prof. Robert A. Millikan, Dr. George Benson (prexy of Claremont College), Dr. John Carruthers (his aeronautical library is the finest in the world), Col. Joseph Marriott (Regional Director of CAA), Col. Robert McMillan (general manager of the Department of Airports), Kay Dougherty and Dr. and Mrs. Orville Cole from Long Beach, Tom and Ethel Wolfe (Pacific Airmotive), Atty. Martin Burke and on into the INFINITE...and at ROCKET speeds! Bib and Tuckers Schedule Brunch Bib and Tuckers of the Assistance League commence their fall activities with an autumn brunch Monday, at which time members, provisionals and guests will gather at the S Lucerne home of Mrs. Loyal Griggs at 11:30 a.m. Guest speaker will be Mrs. Charles Allen Graves, Assistance League vice president. Spastic Children's Organization Meets The Spastic Children's League of Los Angeles is holding its annual tea this afternoon at the home of Mrs. William J. Armstrong. Mrs. John M. Adams, a patroness of the league, is to speak about the UCLA research fund for cerebral palsy which the league founded two years ago. Mrs. A. C. Riedel is in charge of the program. VANITY FAIR 500 Women Test New Hair Cream By Muriel Barnett Extremely dry hair - straw-like, with split or broken ends - is the No. 1 hair problem here in California. A good corrective cosmetic has long been needed. We think it has arrived, in the form of water-soluble dry hair cream now on sale locally. This cream has been measured into six individual foil packages, each one sufficient for one treatment. The kit of six packages, plus directions, is $2. The cream is to be used following a shampoo. Massage it into hair and scalp. Then cover your hair with waxed paper or a shower cap and wrap with a towel. It must be left on at least 30 minutes; longer is better. Then rinse out. Before being marketed this cream was pretested by 50 individual women and by two beauty parlors. Everyone agreed that the cream did what it was supposed to do: make hair softer, more lustrous, less flyaway, less brittle. Remember that this product is of no use to those with oily scalps. [[2 checkmarks]] SPEAKING OF HAIR: If you dye yours, have you tried the new "touch-up" cosmetic that you brush on in between tintings? It comes in cake form, like mascara, and is similarly applied. It's wonderful for a quick blending job. Comes in eight shades, from light blond to jet black and all wash out. $1.50. [[2 checkmarks]] HAND LOTIONS are difficult to compare, because so many of them are nongreasy, pleasantly scented and protective - the essential qualities in any product. If you are open to suggestion in this regard, consider one of our own favorites: a highly concentrated lotion, exceedingly [[Picture]] smooth. Pale blue in color, it comes in a lotus-shaped unbreakable plastic bottle. So little is needed that it lasts and lasts. $1.
