There were many interesting notes to take about color. It would seem white, beige and gray arc hcadlincrs for all types of attire, with the ever popular navy as strong as ever, and gorgeous pinks, blues, purples, reds and greens highlighted for many types of costumes, especially in party time clothes; and bright corals and flamingos in coats. There was everything in the way of materials with emphasis on a comeback for chiffons. There was cotton for everything with especial ly interesting use of this material in suits and coats. And speaking of suits you arc really in high fashion with a silk suit or two this season. Shoes Colorful Shoes are more glamorous ind elaborate than ever, judging from the show, And hats, well there was every thing shown from the large cart wheel type with beautiful flowers and trims to some very nifty and eye-catching small ones. And color galore for hats. After observing this show It would seem skirt lengths can he just what you want, Thcro were several full length formals, one or two with suggestion of a train; the popular "comfortable" length for afternoon and street wear. There were sheath dresses, some plain, some with Interesting panel detail at the back; there were the always popular gracefully full skirts, others with ovcrskirts. Some of the frocks shown featured large collars, several of the cos tumes with interesting back details with buttons and blousing. The suits also featured some blousinoss at back, the new open collar ef fect In front, and smart, short, well fitting jackets. Several of the coats shown were in bright hues, and featured also was the new in coats, the cape, both long and short ones. The show was divided into eight iections, under the general theme The Story Of A Miracle in Plastic Sphercon Floating Lenses Lenses that float? Yes, actually these new liny plastic contact lenses don't "contact" the eye. Instead, they actually float on a thin layer-of oily tears and arc separated from the eye by this cushion of tears in the same manner as the eye lid which never actually touches the eye. Consequently, they arc Infinitely more comfortable than any of the old style contact lenses and for this reason every patient fitted In our office has to ho able to wear such lenses constantly from early morning until bed time be fore being dismissed. You arc cordially Invited fihone or consult us for further nformation. T. W. Sahlslrom, O.D. Roy B.

It Is not true. The Lutheran Church does not permit anything. And il does not prohibit anything. It does not pass laws It pro claims Christ. II is not a legislature -II is a church, lis task is not to make rulos and regulations its busi ness is to announce a Crucifixion and a Resurrection. The Gospel is not a list of things we must do or not do It is a report of Ihe things that God has done. Mighty things He has donel - Become incarnalo In human flesh. Conquered man's i onciont encmiesi Sin, devil, death. Demonstrated the suroty of resurrection. Set the whole of human oxistonco in an eternal perspective. Called the race to fear Him, love Him, trust Him. And dire Is the need for that Gospcll - In a world lhal soems determined to destroy Itself, a race bent upon annihilation, a society trapped and tormented by tension, frustration, anxiety. By comparison, arguments about o cigarette or a glass of beer seem pretty triviall "So, whother you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do oil to the glory of God," wrote St. Paul. And again, "And whatever you do, In word or deed, do everything In the Name ol the loid Jesus ..." that Is why Ihe Lutheran Church does not presume lo permit or prohibit, Fear and love and trust in the lord's Christ are far safer guides than any set ol rules If you would like to discuss those questions, contact any one of the Lutheran churohoj listed below. , " LedPr',Ce Z2&''Z gorges o"dfed s,stoe a"j LUTHERAN EVANGELISM MISSION The Lutheran Churches of Salem Welcome You ST.
