But they're' ac centing famininity, even though they're deemphasizing curves. Spring and summer clothes are being previewed this week for more than 150 fashion writers here to attend the National Press week sponsored by the couture group of the New York Dress institute.

Three guests were wel comed, these being Mrs. Brit tain H.; Ash, wife -of the new United States Forest service ranger for -the Butte Falls dist rict, Mrs. Floyd Mattern and' Mrs. Daniel McKeen. The project leaders, Mrs. Al bert Hofmann and Mrs. - Ray Trefren, showed local homemak ers how to clean wood furniture and also how to obliterate milky spots, scratches, burns and checks on furniture. The women learned how to use rottenstone, ammonia, pumice, rubbing oil and potassium permanganate to brighten her furniture. Each one present received a bulletin from the extension of fice on "touchups for Wood Furniture." Mrs. Harry Dalton explained the meaning and scope of the in ternational women's organiza tion known as "Associated Coun try Women of the World." She also conducted a discussion of what local women want on the extension program for next year. Butte Falls women asked for better methods of freezing and canning foods and more practice in home sewing. The next meeting of the Butte Falls unit will be at the home of Mrs. Clyde Moore February 3. Miss Eula Wintermote will pre sent the subject, "Good Weight for Good Health." inating a belt at the waistline. ; "American women want to be comfortable' the designer ex plained. The "belted basque" is used in dresses with a gentle flare to the -skirts. A horizontal seam several inches below the waist gives the impression of a long torso line, yet narrow self-fabric belts are worn at the waist. Slim suits with longer jackets also carry out . the long-torso theme for spring. Even when the jacket comes off, a soft over blouse, often made of a print to match the jacket lining, replac es the old tucked-in blouse for a longer look. Designer Pauline Trigere is one who is leading the way to extra feminine appeal in clothes for daytime as well as evening. She calls it "The Dainty Look.' " Miss Trigere has made day time wool dresses for spring in pale grey and golden beige prim med with white. She shows a beige wool dress edged at neck and sleeves with 'white, for in stance, with a white leather belt and a white hat. Another Trigere daytime dress is a soft green print wool with a white chiffon . stole. The French-bom designer uses the pale colors in unusual after-five costumes too. - - - - - She has made a fingertip length wool coat in camel color to wear belter over a white lor- ganza short evening dress. The dress is made with a full skirt that begins at a hipline seam typical of many of the long lined party dresses for spring. Travelers Return From Trip South Mr. and Mrs. Robert K.

By latest .count, the French are ahead of Americans indi vidually, in annual use of dairy products Oregon State college re ports. In 1953 France's per capita use of milk and milk products was 703 . pounds compared to 682 for the U.S. France isn't alone in edging the U.S. out at the dairy bar. El even other nations lead this country in per capita use of milk products. Ireland and New Zeal and head the list with 1382 and 1349 pounds respectively. Among 15 nations reported by the USDA foreign agricultural service only the Netherlands and Italy trailed the U.S. in use of milk or its equivalent in dairy products. They had good rea sons. An Italian must work for 20 minutes . to earn enough to buy a quart of milk, 109 minutes for a pound of cheese, and 162 minutes for a pound of butter. The exchange : rate between la bor and dairy foods is almost that high in the Netherlands. - In sharp contrast, a working man in the United States can earn the price of a quart of milk in only, 8 minutes, a pound of cheese in 22 minutes, and . a pound of butter in 30 minutes. Oregon fares better than the rest of the nation. It takes an Oregon working man less than 6 min utes to earn a quart of Grade A milk. ' Sweden, - Norway, New Zeal and and Switzerland are the heavy milk users with the' aver age Swede drinking 240 quarts a year. Jn" eighth place is the average "American who drinks 164; quarts.'.. ' Ireland heads Europe in per capita use of butter. . Even though it takes an Irishman 83 minutes work - to buy , a pound of butter, he uses 40 pounds a year compared to U.S. average consumption of 8.6 pounds The Frenchman eats almost twice as much butter as the American and it takes him 135 minutes work to buy a pound of it. - The ' United States is ; 10th among' cheese eaters 7 pounds per person a year. The Swiss and Norwegians lead with be tween 17 and 18 pounds per person. ; Only in use of canned and dried milk does the U. S. rate toward the top. It is second to Canada in use of canned milk and fourth in use of dry milk, behind Canada, Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
