NEW IDEA FROM HOLLYWOOD:
One-Piece Wardrobe
For Men and Women
By GLORIA YARBROUGH
AP News Features ,
Hollywood Designer Rasario Castagna's newest creation
threatens to outdate robes, house dresses and slacks.
He calls it a "one-piece wardrobe," a step-into arrangement for
lounging, lunching, vacationing, entertaining, studying, boating,
cycling, shopping, gardening, traveling and just about everything
else exceDt swimmine. fe
lt's not just a garment for
women, either; Castagna has ev
en designed one for men.
Castagna's creation, a typical
California production, looks
like the mutation of a lounging
robe and a slack suit. . "It was
designed for comfort loving peo
ple," he says. "It's a costume
they can literally live in."
The one-piece wardrobe was
originally conceived to make
traveling more comfortable.
But, says its designer:
"It proved to be so smart and
practical that we extended it be
yond the vacation wardrobe. In
the home, the garment is ideal
for the housewife who likes the
comfort of a robe, but who al
so works outside or makes fre
quent trips to the market. There
is no need to change for lunch
eon or even an informal dinner
party."
Castagna says his creation is
dandy for men who come home
after wearing a tight collar all
day at the office.
The men's model is made of
corduroy, the women's of pin
roy. "You can hang it over the
bath In the evening and let the
steam erase the wrinkles," says
Castagna.
JUDGE HAUNTED BY DECISION
'Allergic' Divorce Ruling
Brings Movie-Like Fan Mail
Los Angeles, Aug. 30 ff) Because he ruled that a woman's
rash is no ground for divorce, Superior Judge Ray P. Brockman
is getting more fan mail than a movie queen.
A month ago the judge denied Mrs. Joyce C. Holdridge, 27, a
divorce on ner piea
"I would break out in a rash
from head to toe every time I
was near him."
The judge's ruling has been
haunting him ever since.
He said Monday he had receiv
ed hundreds of letters, most of
them from women, who claim
they are allergic to their hus
bands. They urge the Judge to
reconsider. Some of the mis
sives are about as friendly as
a dentist's drill.
.
But Judge Brockman had at
least one person on his side.
The letter writer described him
self as a "mere man" and of
fered the following advice: . . .
"Take each of your women
plaintiffs for divorce and sug
gest a 60-day cooling off period,
during which time she is to do
a better job of homemaking,
such as some good old fashioned
housecleaning, cook bigger and
better meals, try her own hand
at the laundry, don't send, but
take the kids to Sunday school
and church, get up early, work
all day and stay out of the local
saloons.
"Say, judge," the mere man

continued, "if you were to do
this you know what would hap
pen? These women would break
out in a rash right in court. It
isn't their husbands they are
allergic to; it's what he expects
them to do to earn their keep."
The husband in the "allergy
divorce case" complicated mat
ters. He is Nolan H. Holdridge,
26, a San Francisco watch'
maker.

Fire Destroys
Old Landmark
Another Oregon landmark
was lost Monday evening when
fire leveled the old warehouse
of the Sheridan Grain company,
a farmers' cooperative, at an
estimated loss of $50,000.
The building originally was a
grist mill at Buell and was mov
ed to Sheridan in the 1880s.
Loss is covered by insurance,
according to Leon French, man
ager, who said this includes an
estimated $30,000 in grain, $10,-
000 for building and around
$5000 each for machinery and
other merchandise.
Sheridan firemen were aided
by men and equipment from
Willamina and McMinnville.
The flames, fanned by a west
wind, threatened a storage ga
rage of the Portland General
Electric. Electric power was
shut off for about an hour as a
precautionary move.
The fire started about 7
o'clock near the grinder, French
sta tes, and may have been caus
ed by sparks from metal passing
through the equipment. In ad
dition to storage the building
was used for grinding and mix
ing feed. Future plans have not
been determined.
Downtown Sale
Of Fair Tickets
Advance ticket sales of box
and reserved seats to Oregon
State Fair productions will be
held in downtown Salem all this
week at a booth on the court
house lawn, State and High
streets.
Joe Simeral, head of the ex
position's ticket department, has
reported the heaviest mail order
sale in fair history. The advance
sale is for the combined horse
show-rodeo, the evening Helen
Hughes stage revnue, and the
afternoon horse racing cards.
Meanwhile, the 167 acres of
fairgrounds are humming with
last minute activity. A check
with Manager Leo Spitzbart
Monday, revealed that no last
minute construction is under
way. Spitzbart reported, "it
looks like we are well ahead of
schedule for this year's fair.'
Commercial space sales will
establish a new all time high.
Display booths in the main
building have been completely
sold out for several weeks while
the outside area is almost com
pletely booked. Much of the
space is occupied by exhibitors
showing at the fair for the first
time.
Helene Hughes, San Francisco
stage produced, will be in Sa
Iem Monday to supervise final
arrangements for the evening
vaudeville production in front of
the racing grandstand. Miss
Hughes has proclaimed her 1949
show to be even better than last
year's production which played
to capacity houses throughout
the fair.
The rodeo stock of Henry
Christenson has been on the
grounds for over a week which
should insure a lot of destruc
tive energy during the rodeo
events of the horse show pro
gram. The stock was vanned in
here early from their last ap
pearance at the Stockton county
iair in uamornia.
Spitzbart has reported much
enthusiasm from Portland con
cerning the announcement bv
Southern Pacific that trains will
stop daily at the fairgrounds.
It will mark the first such stoDS
at the fairgrounds in nearly
thirty years.
Mobile Unit to
Open in Evening
Any man who will find it
more convenient to donate
blood during evening hours is
welcome to drop in this Thurs
day evening when the mobile
unit from the Portland regional
blood center will be at the Sa
lem organized naval reserve.
surface division.
The unit will be in operation
from 6 p.m. on and comes here
at the invitation of the naval
reserve group. Marines, Sea
bees, National Guard members
and men from other groups are
being invited to volunteer blood
donations at this time.
Contact also is being made
with several local industrial
firms to see if their staff mem
bers would be interested in do
nating blood at this time.
If homemade doughnuts are
greasy after they have been
deep-fat fried, the chances are
that the fat in which they were
cooked was not hot enough.

Judge Brockman will hear
the case later.
Independence FFA Chapter
Gets Letters From Germany
Independence: The Future Farmers of America in Independ
ence have new pen pals in Germany. They have started corre
spondence with the farm youth group in Lenzfried, which is a
part of Bavarian Farmers' association and German Youth asso
ciation. '
The first letter received from
the German boys stated that
their district in southern Ger
many is one of the finest dis
tricts within the western -oc
cupation forces, with the main
production of agriculture being
cattle.
Included in the letter from
the youth group, they said,
Our village Lenzfried has an
extent of about 350 hektars,
mostlv meadows and pastures.
The main production of agricul
ture in this district is cattle.
In accordance with this lands
cape only grey brown cows fit
for mountains are raised. One
cow produces between 2,500 and
3,500 liters of milk. During the
war there were great losses in
consequence of the lacking fer
tilizer, etc. At present agricul
ture is improving. However,
it Will take many years until we
are well established in farming
as you are."
Alvin M. Leach, local bmitn-
Hughes instructor, received a
letter written by Captain Joyce
Burton of the WAC's who is an
assistant GYA officer in Ger
many to Ralph L. Morgan, state
supervisor of agricultural edu
cation in Salem.
"We hope that your group
will become the American
friends of the German group and
believe that this project will be
as valuable to American as to
German youth. Those of us who
work with these young people
see in them hope for the Ger
many of the future. Those
youngsters have an amazing
hunger for knowledge of the
outside world. They are curious
about Americans themselves,
what we believe, how we live,
why we think and act as we do.
They look to America and Amer
icans for example and help."
"The army assistance program
to German youth is not a wel
fare but rather a reorientation
program. Although (some ma
terial help is given to German
youth, that is incidental to our
mission, which is assisting Ger
man youth in every way pos
sible m their democratic re
orientation. The American
groups are democratic. German
groups need to get to know per
sonally one such American group
and American youth can learn
much about Europe and its prob
lems from a contact with a Ger
man group.
"Besides our youth center at
Augsburg there is at least one
youth group center in each land
kreis (comparable to a county)
where a well-rounded program
of leisure time activities keeps
the youth busy and contented
and, above all, keeps them off
the streets. The purpose of the
army assistance program, how
ever, is not merely to fill lei
sure hours of boys and girls
with enjoyable activities, but to
orient young people to a new
way of life."

Rookie Solon
Enforces Rules
Washington, Aug. 30 A
freshman lawmaker got to pre
side over the senate yesterday
and promptly proceeded to shut
up both the democratic and re
publican senate leaders.
There's a senate rule, some
times observed, that a senator
can yield the floor only for a
question. Senator Withers (D.,
Ky.) enforced it yesterday when
he took over the gavel from
Vice President Barkley.
GOP Floor Leader Wherry
(Neb.) attempted to make some
comments during an angry poli
tical debate. Withers pounded
the rostrum and ordered:
"Don't make speeches. Just
ask questions."
Wheery looked startled.
A little later Democratic
Leader Lucas (111.) tried to
break in. Again Vithers bang
ed for silence.
Lucas looked startled.
"Now," said Withers, "we're
going to follow the rules. We're
not going to have speaking back
and forth."
There were no more interruptions.
