1 Th Newt-Review, Roseburg, Or. Thut., April 27, 1950 Homemakers Tell Required House Dress Qualities A good house dress, Oregon homemakers say, combinea good looks with comfort, freedom of motion and durability. Homemakers outlined these views In a survey conducted by Mra. Clara Kdaburn, associate home economist for the OSC experiment station, as the first step in a new experiment station research project aimed at developing house dress designs that better meet the needs and tests here in Oregon. Ninety-three percent of the women polled said they want house dresses that would be auitable for shopping and inlormal meetinKs. Less than SO percent said they wear the house dresses for work in the garden. Seventy eight percent of the women make all or some of their house dresses with the range from 4 to 10 home-made dresses a year. Nine out of 10 said they prefer medium weight materials such as prinu, percale and chambray. A low open type neckline is pre ferred to a high, close neckline by practically all of the women, with a tailored or simple collar being first choice in neckline design. Fastened-down facings are pre ferred by out of 10. A wide va riety of fastenings was suggested with uppers as first choice; but tons, second, and gripper type fas teners, third. A flat shape button was preferred along with machine vorked buttonholes. Two-thirds of the homemakers like short, elbow length sleeves best. Only 2 percent voted for no sleeves. A separate, loose belt was preferred over other types and the buckle was the numbe. one choice for belt fastener. Gored skirts were rated slightly higher than gathered skirts, or circular skirts. Patch pockets are preferred by 70 percent of the women, and a majority of the homemakers want the pockets high on the skirt. Mrs. Edaburn and Mrs. MaNette Frazier, research assistants, are using the survey findings in their dress and dress pattern aludiea. Particular emphasis is being given to il-rve design at the present time. Once the final designs have been approved, the patterns will be made available to commercial pattern companies and dress manufac turers. Flood Control Plans Draw OKs And Protests (Continued from page One) the atream which would disturb those migrating fish present. The brief held the same condi Hons to be true of the lower river projects However, exception was taken to the installation of tide gates on two creekj because of the inadequate fish passages they laid tuch a move would provide. The two-hour afternoon session at the county court house ended the public hearing, presided over by Lt. Col. George Flnlay, exe cutive officer for the Portland dis trict, corps of engineers. . Representatives of each of the affected areas in which protects are proposed were on hand to oner approval, and in tome cases, to voice objections to the uuua control proposals. Persons representinff Suthrlin am how to form a district to psy for m uiujrci siatea lor sutherlin meek. Lt. Col. Flnlay taid dis trict boundaries should be set, then a petition favoring the move should be submitted to the county court. The court would hold a hearing to evaluate the move, then declare the district formed, provided no opposing petition was tubmitted. Mrs. Paul Fulry of Yoncalla de clared the biggest problem for her area was located in the region between Yoncalla and Drain, where high water backs up and atands along Elk creek. She asked that " be given special attention from Boswell Springs to Drain. The Drain representative, W. G. Cool, said the main bottleneck in the flood control problems of hit city was the state highway bridge which forces water to back up and spread to low-lying areas. He declared the creek channel there must be widened and suggested that the city be aided hv the state highway department. He said the Drain city council has gone on record as favoring improvements. The present levee at Doan creek, 5i miles upstream from R. port, was termed "Inadequate" in the engineers' report which added that improvements to the levee would cost about $29,000, of which i10??1 "1?? would bo" $700. Max Nelson of that area voired the fear that only a few residents there would be aided by the project. He wss told that the engineers would offer advice to such persons who feel thev may not be directly benefited by the present proposal. 1 t,?Atl. .!VJ, "Presenting Reedport told the engineers that the city had given verbal assur ance that the improvement of the lVJ"g 7V ,lon Scholfield creek would be approved. He was told that the proposal would cost approximately 2.Hn in rights of way and about JW0 in annual charges, plus a possible W.ooo tor raising an Soofoot section of a Cltv street. Construction of closure dikes along Frarey creek, a tributary of Smith river and closure dikes and tide gates across the mouth of Oar creek were also discussed These were the two items which drew the disapproval of the fish and game men on the grounds that such construction would prove a detriment to migratory fish.

Mounted natrolmen spurred their I horses into the front ranka of the I angry demonstrators, blocking their auempi lor a intra successive nay to storm the office of Mayor Wil liam O'Dwyer. The yelling, hooting youngsters converged on city hall plaia from scores of schools through the cily. In Brooklyn, 20,000 students cut clatses to mill in protest in front of their school buildings. Five students were taken into custody there. They are demanding increased psy for their teachers and resump tion of out-of-clasa activities, can celed by the refusal of teachers to supervise them under current sal aries. Superintendent of Schools Wil liam Jansen blamed "subversive groups" for yesterday's siege of city hall by 3,000 acreaming stu dents.
