Fattfous World Designer .
Revives 1947 "New Look ' '
Paris ttJ.R) .Fashion designer Christian Dior, whose 1947
"new look" lowered hemlines and family bank balances throughout
the world, revived the style Saturday.
The "old master" of the Paris
fashion scene showed a bold
two-and-one-half inch drop in
skirt lengths which will again
mean new wardrobes for women
and heavy bills for the men. .
He built his 1952 winter show
around a wishbone shape, con
troling the feminine figure to
conform with present-day living,
r Dior drastically lowered the
daytime hemline and put cock
tail skirts just above the ankle
in the lowest swoop since his
"new look."
World buyers were agog.
They had been holding back
their Paris orders until they saw
Dior's pace-setting collection.
If a sober second look con
vinces them 'he longer skirts
will catch on, most of milady's
wardrobe may hve to be junked.
Reacjy-to-wear clothes-i-usual-ly
more skimpily-cut than ex
pensive models generally will
not allow sufficient turndown
material for re-modeling a la
Dior.
Main difference between the
old "new look" and today's was
that present skirts are slimmer
In contrast to the fuller 1947
style. .
Experts credited Dior with

winning the current fashion race
from his nearest rival, young
Hubert de Givenchy.
Dior made a double-breasted
theme reign supreme throughout
his luxurious presentation. Fea
tured were a high-rapped neck
line, an uptilted and emphasized
bustline, natural waist and both
skin-tight and controlled full
skirts.
Mrs. Matthew B. Ridgway,
wife of the SHAPE commander,
appeared particularly thrilled
with "breastplate" effects show
ing on suit and coat fronts. Like
the fencers' protective guard, it
added to the double-breasted ef
fect and was employed both by
Dior and de Givenchy.

National Auxiliary
Mrs. J. A. Meacham will rep

iary of the Fraternal Order of

nouncement by Mrs. Hans Ram
min, secretary of the auxiliary.
The convention will be held in

Among the speakers at the
conclave will be Joseph S.

Mont., a past grand worthy pres
ident of the Eagles and a long
time consultant on auxiliary
matters.
Mrs. Meacham as a represent
ative of the local auxiliary, will
have a voice in the formulation
of the national auxiliary polic
ies. A full.- scale national pro
gram for the auxiliary has not
yet been adopted, but will be
discussed during the session.
It is estimated by Mrs. Ram
min that well over a thousand
delegates will be present at the
convention representing Eagle
auxiliaries in this country, Can
ada and Alaska.
Mrs. Meacham is past junior
president of the Crater Lake
Eagle auxiliary.
Age of Children
Affects Grocery Bill
Lincoln, Neb. (U.PJ The age
of children in a family can make
a considerable difference in the
grocery bills, according to Uni
versity of Nebraska home econo
mists. The economists said food
needs increase as children grow
and develop, reaching a peak in
the teen years. Recent estimates
by the Bureau of Human Nutri
tion and Home Economics show
that the cost of feeding a family
of four with two teen-age boys is
around a third more than that
for a family with children under
six years.
The University 'food experts
said teen-age boys need some
what more food than girls of the
same age because of their larger
size and because they generally
are more active physically.

Parks has cancer and is re

his life when two tumps on his
neck discovered about a year
ago turned out to "be cancer of
the lymph system. He said the
doctors .who examined him told
him "this was the most oppor

they had discovered the disease
early."
He said X-ray treatments

Shakespeare Driven
Indoors by Weather;
Performances Pleases
The players of the Oregon
Shakespearean festival, driven
from their usual quarters in the
outdoor; stage by a downpour of
rain and hail, presented their
inaugral performance of "Much
Ado About Nothing" last night
in the cramped, stage of the
Lithia theater.
Despite the strange surround
ings and the fact that the Lithia
stage is less than half the size
of that at the outdoor theater,
the cast, individually and as a
group, came through with flying
colors.
In fact, the near - capacity
audience appeared to be more
affected than the cast by the
change to the indoor stage. The
spectators, in general, did not
seem to warm up to the play
until midway in the second act
although the quality of the act
ing was uniformly top-notch
throughout.
Cast Equally Divided
The cast of "Much Ado" is di
vided almost equally among fest
ival veterans and newcomers
making their first appearance
this season. -
The two leading nale roles
are handled by veterans, and
newcomers play opposite them
in the leading female parts.
The casting of Richard Gra
ham as young Benedick, some
thing of a surprise to those who
had seen him superbly enact
the role of "King Lear" last
year and of Willie in the Vining
performance in "Death of a
Salesman," turned out to be a
complete success.
Graham's Benedick started on
a high plane and rarely dropped
from it. It is doubtful that any
other member of the company
could have combined Benedick's
cynical outlook and good humor
as skillfully as did Graham.
Eleanor Prosser Opposite
Playing opposite Graham, as
the sharp - tongued Beatrice, is
the attractive Eleanor Prosser,
who took a back seat to no one
last night.
Only a step behind Graham
and Miss Prosser were Bill Ball
as Claudio and Marjorie Lov
berg as Hero. Admirably cast
as the young lovers, they per
fectly offset the good natured
bickering of Beatrice and Bene
dick. Ball was particularly good
in the second act otchard scene.
If the audiences' applause is
a true indication, Philip Han

of the favorites of the 1952 sea
son. Hanson's buffoonery had
the audience roaring during the
entire time he was on the stage.
The rol,e like Greham's Bene
dick, shows Hanson's great ver
satility. Also worthy of favorable com
ment were the performances of
Mainer Hines,- as Leonato;
Thomas Brennan as Antonio and
Douglas Meeker as Verges.
Singing Highlight
One of the highlights of "Much
Ado" is the singing of John Tay
lor, James Baker and Lloyd Bun
nell as the trio in the second
act orchard scene. Taylor's
wonderful stage presence, plus
his fine voice, make him nearly
indispensable to the festival's
performance of the play.
Perhaps most important to the
play, particularly last night, was
the excellent direction of Angus
Bowmer. Had the cast been less
well directed, the seemingly
easy change from the festival
outdoor theater to the tiny Lith
ia stage would have been much
less successful. J.J.

Business Prosperity
Expression Explained
Albany, N. Y. (U.R) The
state commerce department iays
the expression "doing a land of
fice business" originated in Ba
tavia, N. Y.
A group of Dutch capitalists
bought more than 3,000,000
acres of land west of the Gene
see River from Robert Morris in
1793 and established the Hol
land Land Office in 1815.
They were so busy selling
land that the expression became
synonymous with business pros
perity, the department said.
