Men's Shoes To Have
Sharper Color Lines
. The smartly dressed male will
go stepping out this spring and
summer in new shoes featuring
lower cut lines. Here is the dom
inant trend in styling of mas
culine footwear for the coming
seasons, taking its cue from the
slimmer, trimmer silhouette that
will prevail in men's clothing.
Happily, the new styling, aid
ed and abetted by newer and
lighter weight leathers for soles
as well as uppers, and bji built
in air conditioning, is bringing
the male the most comfortable
shoes he has ever worn.
The new ."lower line" is be
ing featured on shoes for town
wear and casual wear alike, and
in a greater variety of colorful
materials than ever before.
Lighter weight calfskins and
cordovans, soft suedes and fab
ric meshes in combination with
leather are among popular ma
terials. Color trends in men's shoes
for the coming season are in step
with mounting popularity of the
darker hued clothing, with such
interesting combinations as char
coal and light grey and contrast
ing browns to be seen in the
stores.
It is estimated that one-third
of the world's trade is carried
in pounds sterling.
Pumpkins From One Vine
Weigh Total 167 Pounds
Salem. N. H. OJ.R) Farmer
Daniel Donabedian was amazed
when he found a 67-pound
pumpkin on one of his vines
during the fall of 1954.
"Biggest pumpkin, I've ever
seen," he declared.
But the prolific plant had
more surprises for Donabedian.
Two more of its products weigh
ed in at 50 pounds each.
"Largest pumpkin ever seen
in these parts went 40 pounds,"
Donabedian said. "Three from
this one vine weighed a total of
167."
Shortage of Canned
Peas in 1955 Seen
Chicago (U.R) There prob
ably will be a shortage of canned
peas during 1955, according to
an Associated Independent Can
ners report.
The association said that too
much rain last summer cut the
crop. Some of the 50 items of
peas usually available through
out the year are dwindling
swiftly, aed other items will be
exhausted in a few months, the
report added.
The association said, however,
that the quality of peas is as fine
as ever and prices, most likely,
will remain stable throughout
the year.

Black and Pink
Popular for Boys
The boys are carrying the col
ors this spring, as more and more
mothers become boy-fashion con
scious. Still the most popular color
combination is the black or grey
and pink team. This spring
white also teams with black.
The cognac colors are rapidly
gaining importance. These in
clude champagne, brandy, lem
on, cognac, peach, apricot, plum
and the helio shades. Brass and
lacquer, a metallic-look rust, are
very much in evidence.
High colors are important in
suits and slacks. Pink, blue or
lemon gabardine slacks and Ber
muda shorts are popular. And
black cotton gab slacks with
pleated-bosom white shirts are
especially new.
Conservatively speaking wash
able rayo'n sharkskin is new in
slacks, while "Ivy League" suits
are going strong.
In jackets, slunk-patterned
vinyl plastic makes a new West
ern blouse packet. Eton jackets
are back, now with a vest effect.
The jacket is solid, over a plaid
or contrast-solid fabric for the
vest-look.
Black corduroy jackets are
seen frequently with gingham
plaid shirts.
The Italians have influenced
boys' shirts, with emphasis on
the buttoned yoke. These shirts
often have vertical and hori
zontal trim, meeting at the yoke.
Many sport a nautical look.

Greater Formality
Men's desire for both greater
formality and "flair" is well sat
isfied in the new spring top
coats. The velvet collared over
coat launched last fall, appears
for spring in top coats made of
smoothly tailored covert cloth.
Light gray-blue with black vel
vet collars and tan with brown
velvet are particularly hand
some. Soft wool tweed topcoats are
shown in rich color combina
tions such as chocolate brown
with a faint pattern of light blue.
Featured fabrics include les
sened weight wool, tweed, sax
ony, covert, knitted wool and
blends of natural and science
fibers. Patterns present a wide
variety of herringbone, checks,
plaids and nubbed effects; raised
effect boucles in self-check and
colored designs.
Favored cuts in tweed top
coats are the single-breasted
raglan with young looking bal
macaan collar and set-in sleeve
models with split seams, notched
or bat collar.

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Prtss Correspondent
Aline Moibr
Hollywood (U.R) Danny
Thomas, television's man of the
hour, today patted his two cold
ettes, but his
success, he ad
mitted, came
after two fail
ures. The sad - eyed
Thomas' com
edy series
about the fam
ily life of a
night club en
tertainer, "Make Room for
Daddy," nosed out such com
petition as "Burns and Allen"
and "I Love Lucy" at the TV
Academy Awards presentation
Monday night.
And Thomas himself won the
"best actor" award over Jackie
Gleason and Jack Webb in an
other surprise upset of the Emmy
race.
To . Danny the statuettes are
meaningful, for his success story
has been a long and painful one.
Rough Tim
"I had a rough time in TV and
radio," he said as he relaxed in
his Beverly Hills home. "I was
on TV two seasons, once a month,
but I was neither fish nor fowl.
It bothered me tremendously. I
had always done well in clubs
but I couldn't get off the ground
in TV. I think being on once a
month didn't give me a chance to
snowball.
"I had my own show on radio
but again I was neither fish nor
fowl.
"Then I signed with ABC-TV.
I made an honest plea to my
writer and producer for a won
derful show.
"I told them I wanted to make
good in TV so I could stay home
and be with my children. My
three kids thought I was a visit
ing uncle. I was on the road so
much I would buy them clothing
that didn't fit. I told the pro
ducer and writer, 'You've got to
do something.'
"They cried 'That's the format
of the show! Make it slightly
biographical'."
Changed Tills
The program originally was
called "Here Comes Daddy."
Mrs. Thomas suggested the cur
rent title after a family slogan.
When Thomas would leave on
night club tours in his'pre-TV
days, one child would move into
mother's room. When Thomas
returned, the youngster, would
move out his belongings to
"make room for Daddy."
"I failed twice," the comedian
reflected. "The third time I
either had to strike out or get on
base.
"Monday night at the Emmy
awards," he grinned, "we hit a
home run.
Musi Keep Working
"I guess it proves that if you
honestly feel you belong in show
business you've got to keep
working until you find your
niche." -
Thanks to Danny's success,
Memphis, Tenn., is getting a new
hospital for underprivileged chil
dren. Back in 1940 in Detroit he
prayed to St. Jude, "Inspire me
and I'll build you a shrine." That
year he was a night club hit in
Chicago, and has not forgotten
his prayer. The hospital opens
soon.

State Motor Pool
Charges Reduced
Salem (U.R) Charges for
use of cars from the state motor
pool will be reduced from six
cents to five cents a mile start
ing April 1, according to Harry
S. Dorman. director of the De
partment of Finance and Administration.
The cost per mile for operat
ing the 145 cars in the state
motor pool now is 4.83 cents.
Dorman said he is passing on
the savings to the agencies under
the motor pool cars. During the
first three months of operation
mileage costs were slightly
more than 5 cents due to non
recurring expenses generally at
tendant to the start of any new
operation, Dorman said.
By pooling the agencies' ve
hicles the finance department
has been able to serve the agen
cies with fewer cars, he said.
When the motor pool was started
last October, 180 cars head
quartered in Salem were trans
ferred to the pool from 27 agen
cies. As of March 1, 145 cars
remained, the other 35 cars hav
ing been disposed of as surplus.
There are about 56,000,000
dairy cattle in the U.S.
Tones Deeper
in Men's Hats
Charcoal tones are deeper,
shapes smaller and trimmings
brighter in the new felt hats
for spring. Narrower brims, in
troduced last winter are fea
tured again, along with slim
tapered crowns, and deep center
crease models, unpinched in
front.
Leaders among the charcoal
tones are rated in the following
order: (1) gray; (2) brown; (3)
blue; (4) green. Newly featured
for spring are unusual muted
tones and heather mixtures.
Lighter, contrasting hat bands
play an important part in the
new styles. The "continental"
hat band is gaining in popular
ity. This is the band with the
tradition bow at backcenter . in
stead of at the side of the hat.
Since the brims are generally
narrower, the hat band has been
widened.
High lustre grosgrain bands
and brim binding are used with
striking effect.. The trim is often
in the same color family as the
hat, but in a lighter shade. In
choosing a band, a man has a
real opportunity to assert his
personality. He can be conserva
tive or as colorful as he likes.
Casual and sports styles are
becoming increasingly popular.
These hats are light in weight
and many are soft and supple
enough to let a man shape his
hats to suit his moods. Moving
up in favor fast are Tyroleans
and semi-Tyroleans, which are
shown in suedes, velours and
pebbles.
Men's Clothing .
Designer Otters
'Suit of Future'
Chicago (U.R) A designer
of men's clothing has come up
with a "suit of the future,"
which may or may not be what
the well-dressed man will wear
100 years from now.
Designer Carmen Duro chose
lavender as the color. The suit
is a "fitted" garment by com
parison with today's standards
The hip-length jacket has nar
row lapels, fastening high on the
chest.
It has two breast pockets and,
the customary two side pockets.
All are patch pockets, withj
pointed flaps. The back is belted ;
with three pleats from shoulder
to waist. Black buttons run
diagonally from elbow to cuff.
The trousers have box pleats
inserted from knee to ankle.
A black, turtle-neck sweater
and black, knitted hat complete
the ensemble. .
' If all this seems nightmarish,
consider the fact that Duro is
trying to popularize the derby
hat and the opera cape, not 100
years from now but today.
Cape and Host Suit
"Men's clothing is returning
to the elegance and detail of the
turn-of-the-century designs," he
said.
The opera cape is of black
cashmere with an iridescent red
lining.
Duro said the garment com
bines the best features of both
cape and coat. It has a cape col
lar, wide, gusset sleeves and a
one piece back, cut very full.
The lapels, facings and cuffs
are covered with mute black
satin.
The host suit for home enter
taining is another Duro crea
tion. The jacket is made of silk
brocade in a tan shade with a
diamond-like pattern in darker
brown woven throughout the
fabric. The jacket may be worn
with lightweight silk, cuffless
trousers or with black tuxedo
trousers.
Duro said colors in sports
clothes will be brighter than
ever. He is featuring a sport
jacket with gold and black
stripes, no less, to be worn with
cuffless silk' trousers or with
trousers of "a gold-metallic
cloth."

Childish Curiosity
Often Means Tragedy
Boston U.R) A child's curi
osity combined with electricity
can produce tragedy.
The American Mutual Liabil
ity Insurance company's Insti
tute for Safer Living says more
than 40,000 home electrical acci
dents occur yearly. Many of
these have killed or seriously in
jured children.
The institute said most home
electrical mishaps stem from
open-type baseboard outlets and
from lamp or other floor cords
easily reached by children. The
second largest group results
from toasters and other appli
ances left connected after use. .
"Most fatal shocks are pro
duced by children poking bobby
pins, tableware or similar metal
objects into outlets and appli
ances," the institute added.
