PAGE EIGIT. FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1943 First Lady of Louisiana Speaks Out for Cotton and The South INDUSTRY SHOWS NEW POR TRAIT OF MR.S SAM JONES —Memphis, Tenn.—Mrs. Sam Hous ton Jones, wife of the Governor of Louisiana, is the second of the South land’s “First Ladies” to speak out for cotton. Continuing a series launched last month by the National Cotton coun cil and the Cotton Textile Institute to tell Americans the story of cotton and the cotton country, a full- - page portrait of Mrs. Jones and her six- year-old daughter, Jelks, will appear in the April issue of Mademoiselle. Last month, the cotton industry pre sented a portrait of Mrs. Paul B. Johnson, wift of the governor of Mississippi, and her 16-year-old daughter, Peggy, in Harper’s Bazaar. To Picture Others Before the completion of the ser ies, the industry hopes to picture the “First Lady” of each cotton pro ducing state, showing at the same time the charming backgrounds of the various governors’ mansions and the lovely looking, long-lasting clothes which are being made of cotton. Tennessee will be the third state to be featured. One of the basic ideas behind the series is to discard the fields of white and pickaninnies with baskets on their heads which have been used to ‘glamorize’ the cotton industry and cotton country. In their stead, the cotton producing states are being presented in terms of fine people and lovely homes, and cotton itself is be ing presented in terms of the sturdy, stylish and all-purpose frocks which it produces. For the portrait, Mrs. Jones and Jelks wore charming mother and daughter costumes designed by Tina Leser. The dirndl skirts were of blue striped ticking while the blouses were of white muslin, hand-painted with flowers and trimmed with eye let embroidery and black beading. The portrait was made in the chaming Governor’s mansion at Ba tor. Rouge by Wynn Richards one of her the nation’s outstanding .photograph ers, who has been selected by the cotton industry to make all of the “First Lady” portraits. Wearing cotton garments was nothing new for either Mrs. Jones or First Lady of Louisiana Charlton McSwain of Detroit, Michigan, and his mother Mrs. Dru- cie McSwain, of Clinton were visit ors in Newberry last week. Mrs. McSwain returned to Detroit with her son who is a special agent with the FBI. Mrs. J. W. Coleman of Anderson was a weekend visitor in the home of her sister, Mrs. K. L. Martin and Mr. Martin.

Said Mrs. Jones: “I select cotton for my daughter, my family and myself because it’s lovely looking, long lasting and easy to keep fresh and clean.
