' o Ree Ella Robbins Has Third Birthday Inspired By Knights Of Yore It'i a long call from King Arthur's Round-Table Knights to today's mechanical products, but the similarity between them is more than just coincidence. That's the opinion of Brooks Stevens, noted Industrial stylist, who here points out the evolutionary design linking a modern outboard motor with the helmet worn by armored knights. "Medieval artisans were experts in functional design," Stevens explains, "and this styling is being recaptured in today's industrial motifs. A typical example is Johnsons' new thirty h.p. outboard, a chrome-trimmed custom-styled unit which, appropriately enough in view of its design origin, is called the 'Javelin ." "We call it 'advanced' styling but it's a modern adaptation of the art of the ancient craftsmen." The Javelin is one of nine 1956 models in which the manufacturer places emphasis on style and color. Mrs. L. L. Robbins entertained with a party Wednesday after noon, December 7 in honor of the third birthday of her daughter, Ree Ella.
