Medford Hotel Sunday Food Special 12 Spring Chicken Oven Baked $1.50 Complete Dinner Monday Food Specials Luncheon: Braised Sirloin of Beef Tips with Garden Vege tables al a Carta 60c Dinner: Roast Leg of Spring Lamb il a Carte $1.10 Leading 1949 Fads Are Square Dancing, Canasta, Short Hair Los Angeles (U.R) Such sub jects as black beauty patches, miniature golf and "knock knock" jokes are a serious study for Dr. Emory S. Bogardus, pro fessor of sociology at the Uni versity of Southern California. He has kept a record 01 laas since 1914 by having his classes list outstanding whims twice each year. "Fads that prove popular re main," Dr. Bogardus says. Such are men's wrist watches, dating from 1916, and auto windshield stickers, first used in 1924. Other fads, like tortoise-rim glasses and long fingernails on women, disappear only to return later. Students Pick Leaders Seven leading fads for 1949 were picked by students in this order: Square dancing, canasta, short bobs for women, pyramid clubs, dixieland music, ropes of pearls, and portholes for cars. Farther down the 30-ltem list are telephones for autos, blue hair, French bathing suits and name writing on neckties. Recent fads that came to stay are television sets of two years ago, laundromats and home per- 1 manent waves. Thcv are "useful fads that rnntrihute to social progress according tq Dr. Bogardus. He adds that "bebop music and crew haircuts will soon De lorgoiien, at least by this generation." Most Fads Die Class surveys show that 80 per cent of all fads last less than one year. But candid cameras, zip pers and bobbed hair are among the rare survivors Styles are commcrically pro moted fads to create demand, Dr. Bogardus says. Fashions also provide "the most spectacular examples of fads and their adop tion by many." Some fads that have carved permanent niches for themselves are Eskimo pics from 1922, cross word puzzles of 1924. smoking by women since 1926, the drive- in theater and midget auto rac ing from 1934, and two-toned horns for autos dating from the same year.
