What do you do? Where do you want to The people who have been here have done a great job, they aren't stymied by the past. Everything is exciting and new." Mrs. Gary K. Herberger is a walking Chamber of Commerce. She arrived here 15 months ago and immediately answered the challenge, "What do you have to offer?" Her answer came through so loud and clear that the enthusiastic brunette is the chairman of next Saturday's Symphony Ball at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel.

Jeanne laughs when she says, "I attack life," but the facts prove her point. She was accepted for stewardess training for Northwest Orient Airlines following her first year at the University (Continued on Page.4-K) R. public Photo by lorry Rpp Mrs. Gary K. Herberger: 21st Century romantic Mrs.

Humphrey: New Bonnet In The Ring ft, (' 4' 1A i in 1' 1 V-f 9 By JUDITH MARTIN Washington Post Service WASHINGTON Muriel Humphrey looks like the mother of the bride in her pastel dresses and jackets, her exactly-matched shoes, purse and gloves and her precisely done silver hair and touch of pale blue eye shadow. She behaved that way, too, when the Vice President made the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency at the United Democrats for Humphrey luncheon in the Shoreham Hotel. In the middle of a crowd of stamping, shouting supporters, Mrs. Humphrey was having a poignant family moment Her eyes blinked rapidly at the actual annoucement, and she had to dab at her eyes with a large pink napkin neatly, so as not to mess up her face, and smiling gently all the while. SHE SMILED, wet-eyed, at her children seated at a table across the room and blew them kisses.

"Wasn't that a beautiful message?" she said afterwards, with the trace of a quiver in her voice. Only a bride and bridegroom were missing as she stood in a receiving line afterwards, her husband at her side, accepting the guests' best wishes. The brooch she wore on her pale blue dress was a freshly minted family heirloom -a pin made in the design of the vice presidential seal, which Humphrey had given her last Christmas. She probably has a pretty good idea of what he wants to get her for Christmas, 1968. While the Humphreys were at the head table, the rest of the family sat at a round table across the way.

Their daughter Nancy and her husband, C. Bruce Solomonson, were there from Burnsville, Hubert H. Humphrey III, who is called Skip, and Robert Andrew Humphrey and their wives were there from Minneapolis; and Douglas Sannes Humphrey, was there from St. Paul, where he is a sophomore at Hamline University. The Vice President's sister, Frances Howard, who is with the State Department, said she was there strictly as family.

With her were her son William and daughter Ann. The other Humphrey sister, Fern Baynes of Minneapolis, was there with her daughter, Mrs. Andrew Indseth. Members of the family kept saying that they hadn't received their campaign assignments yet, but expected to be in there working. Mrs.

Solomonson said she thought that her children were too young to campaign but then the Vice President said from the rostrum that "we couldn't bring the grandchildren today, but they'll be around later on." "MY OLDEST IS only 6 it would have to be something pretty informal," said Mrs. Solomonson. Her other daughter Vicky, is mentally retarded. Vicky is said to be the Vice. President's favorite, and has traveled with her grandparents to the White House and on occasions when the speech topic has been mental retardation, a field in which Mrs.

Humphrey has been very active since Vicky's birth. The women on the platform with Mrs. Humphrey were Patricia Roberts Harris, former ambassador to Luxembourg and now a law professor at Howard University; and Mrs. Burton Joseph, committee-woman from Minnesota and now head of women's activities in the Humphrey campaign. But the woman who stood beside her in the elbow-steering capacity during the reception after the luncheon was Mrs.

Hale Boggs, wife of the majority whip. Mrs. Humphrey had her own staff there -Betty South, her press secretary, and Nancy Newman but several members of the first lady's staff who will be out of their jobs in January, showed up, too. Mrs. Johnson's social secretary, Bess Abell, attended the luncheon as did Marta Ross and Marcia Maddox of the White House press office.

Larson, Karl Naylor, Cecil Terry Red Cross Nursing Classes To Reach 10,000 Women and the program took off like a skyrocket There have been 197 instructors trained since actual work began in February. SAID MRS. GABOREX, "One of th things at Red Cross we're so pleased about is that federal civil defense agencies have recommended that at least one member from every family in the country take the course. This is the largest group the Red Cross has ever trained, anywhere at any time." It's serving as a pilot program for LDS churches in the United States and foreign countries, and for the American Red Cross. Both groups are delighted that the program is helping sections of the county where medical facilities are sparse.

"It's great we've been able to reach into areas we've never been before," said Mrs. Gaborek, "such as Ajo, Casa Grande, Wickenburg, Payson, Pine. The women (Continued on Page K-13) By JEANNE TRO WILLIAMS Ever come unglued when Junior abrades himself on his skate board? Go into a quivering mass of ganglia when Susy doubles up with a tummy ache? Do you really know how to take a temperature? There are 3,000 women training right now in Maricopa County in the American Red Cross' Home Nursing program. They're not out to become Florence Nightingales. They just want to know what to do in a medical emergency, learn how to take care of ailing family members and friends.

For the most part they're members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. "IT BEGAN," said Mrs. Albeit Choules 5123 E. Calle del Norte, "as a project of our Scottsdale Stake Relief Society. With people living longer and hospital space at a premium, Mrs.

M. P. Larson and I tried to think of a way to teach women of our church basic nursing skills." Naturally their first thought was the Red Cross, and director of nursing Mrs. Stanley Gaborek, R.N., 2100 K. Normal Tempe.

Said Mrs. Gaborek, "In July, 1967, Mrs. Larson talked to me about a plan to teach all the women in the LDS church. Mrs. Larson had knowledge of Red Cross services, had worked with me before on teen-aged projects.

I must admit that at first I thought her too optimistic. Now they tell me that 10,000 women will eventually take the course and I believe them. I'd believe them if they said 30,000." Good ideas have to get off the ground or no one benefits. Talk about organization Rosemary Choules and Shirley Larson got busy. They formed a coordinating committee, presented a detailed schematic plan of organization to Mrs.

Belle Spafford of Salt Lake City, who is general president of the LDS church relief society. Back from Salt Lake came the so sianal. 4 I.
