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

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.

Parley In Phone
Dispute Brighter
NEW YORK, AprU Z7.-UP) The
first company wage offer to 10,000
striking telephone installation work
ers was expected today in a bright
er overall phase of negotiations be
tween the Bell Telephone system
and the CIO Communications Work
ers of America.
The installation workers' union
division 6 yesterday announced the
forthcoming pay parley and sid
it would cover all wage issues. The
company made no comment.
The installation employes, on
strike throughout the nation since
Monday, have refrained from pick
eting an action that could tie up
telephone exchanges over the na
tion because some 240,000 other
telephone workers probably would
not cross their picket lines.
The installation men are demand,

the present wage after six yeart la
$1.69 an hour in tome areas and

Students Clash
With Police In
N.Y.City Rush
NEW YORK, AprU 27. JP
Thousands ot jeering students, de
manding "more pay for our teach
ers" marched on city hall today
but were repulsed by police.
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.
The new city budget calls for
$250 yearly pay increases for high
school teachers. Instead of a re
quested $650. The teachers, in pro
test, nave refused to take part in
after-hours activities.
Lack of faculty supervision has
forced cancellation of spring proms
and athletic events.
Last night the mayor said there
would be no change in the budget.
