EIGHT MTDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, January 8, 1958 Lean Look Predominates For 1956 Fashion World By PAUL PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) It will be a leaa 1956 in the world of fash ion Q n T'aat is, as regards the shape of the silhouette; not the state of sales. Sales are expected to set new records. "Sixty to 75 per cent slim," said a spokesman for the Cou ture Gfmup of the New York Dress Institute when asked to describe the look of 1956 "styles. The dominant shape promises to be the sheath, which is woeful news for the women not con structed like Grace Kelly. But designers do give the woman who needs them the benefit of some fuller skirts or modifica tions of the sheath. G Bigger Hats Here, head to toe, is how the Dress Institute, the Millinery Fashion Bureau and other ex perts gee the shape of fashion in the New Year. Hats Bigger and wide in brim, but not heavier because of the use of sheer fabrics and shiny, lightweight straws. Flow ers frequently used as part of the fabric design rather than as trim.

The softer suit will come back, and jacket lengths are growing shorter, to replace last fall's long, long jacket. The narrow line dominates in coats too. Frilly Lingerie Fabrics Vapor-weight is the rule, with imported wools, fine cottons, and synthetics all used. The softer fabrics chiffon, or ganza and silk dominate. Colors Pay. your money and take your choice, but there is much brown, green, yellow and bright pink. Shoes More of the foot will be covered than in 1955; plenty of the patterned shoe fabrics both prints and florals. Underpinnings Frills take over in lingerie, with lace trim mings most of the silks and syn thetics, embroidery trimming the cottons.

They also will be more colorful, made in a va riety of pastels pink, blue, lime, beige, maize, and lilac as well as black and white.

Mother With 10 Children, 12 Suitcases Moved by Army By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York '(U.R) A few dozen people in scattered and strategic government offices took time out last week to worry about Mrs. Catherine Medor and her 10 chil dren. Mrs. Medor merely wanted to move. As a result, sne got tne combined assistance of the Army, the Air Force and the American Red Cross. The Medors'. moving problem in one way was typical of that of thousands of other American families. Sgt. Guilford Medor is stationed with the Air Force in Germany. His family is entitled to join him. But 10 children, from the ages of four months to 14 years, lifts a family moving problem out of the routine file, even for mass moving specialists like the U.S. government. "The only , thing we didn't ar range for Mrs. Medor was a med al for bravery," sighed one Army private first class at Fort Hamilton, the Brooklyn location of the overseas replacement sta tion. - High Priority Mrs. Medor, 31, the 10 chil dren and 12 suitcases ,left home SIEGLER USES HEAT THAT'S Uf OVER YOUR FLOORS No costly pipes or registers to install or clean ! r, GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF I I!

The adjutant general in Washington, D.C., had noti fied the commanding general of the First Army to see that the trip began and ended smoothly. So the Red Cross took over the bus trip arrangements. Ethan Allen Air Force Base in Burlington, Vt., saw that the 11 passengers got aboard a com mercial air liner to go by air to La Guardia Field. As the Medors trooped down the plane ramp here, they spied the first of a succession of Army escorts. A special Army bus was waiting to, take them to Fort Hamilton. Was Mrs. Medor harried? Not at all. She handed her youngest an 18-pound baby girl, to the nearest private and marvelled: "I've never been in an air plane before.- It's wonderful." Three rooms were set aside for them in the hotel for depend ents at the replacement station, and yesterday morning Mrs. Medor appeared promptly at the processing section with the 10 children neatly dressed and obe dient. Simple Explanation "The thing you should do when you take children on a trip is explain to them what is going to happen so they won't be frightened," the attractive slight ly plump, mother said placidly. Normally the 150,000 depend ents processed annually at the embarkation base spend two or three days getting necessary tests and clearance. Mrs. Medor was given "priority No. 1" and rushed through in one day. But the Army, in its haste to speed the children on their way while all 10 were healthy any infection in any one of the chil dren could hold up the entire family forgot to reckon with one factor.' Fog shut down Idlewild In ternational airport. Mrs. Medor took . her children' back to the dependent's hotel to wait, like any other passenger, for word that planes could take off again. 4 Shady Cove Grange Shady Cove Grange will hold its first meeting of the year in the band room at the Shady Cove School at 8 p.m. Wednes day, Jan. 11.

Centners Return From Three-Month, 12,000 Mile Tour Of Country Dr. and Mrs. Louis G. Gentner, 22 South Groveland ave., re turned recently from a three months tour of the United States by automobile, during which time they travelled almost 12,000 miles. They went east by a northern route to Boston, Mass., then south through the Atlantic states to Florida, returning by way of the southern states. They visited 23 states, southern Ontario, Can ada, the District of Columbia, and Juarez, Mexico, passing through many of the larger cities. On Sabbatical Leave Dr. Gentner, entomologist at the Southern Oregon Experiment Station, was on sabbatical leave. En route he visited a number of state experiment stations, meeting personnel, examining physical plants, . and discussing problems of insect control. At the New York State museum at Albany,' the. Museum of Com parative Zoology at Cambridge, Mass., the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, Pa., and the U. S. National museum at Washington, D. C, he studied insect types which were housed there. He also visited the Agri cultural Research Center of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md. While at Beltsville; Dr. and Mrs. Gentner visited Dr. and Mrs. John R. Magness. Dr. Mag ness is in charge of the fruit and nut crops section of the Agricultural Research center and is known to fruit growers of Rogue valley. At Cambridge they were luncheon guests of the curator of the museum at the Harvard University Faculty club. Travel by car made it possible to observe the agricultural and horticultural practices in the various states and also the dis plays at the roadside stands, he reported. Of interest to the fruit growers will be the attrac tive, conditioned Oregon bosc pears which were seen in Cam bridge, markets. These were sell ing for $1.10 for a basket of 12 pears. Unfortunately, he said, not all the fruit available was in edible condition. At the close of the Thanksgiv ing dinner at the Ambassador hotel in Washington, D. C, a plate of fruit was served, which included two hard, tasteless anjou pears, just out of storage.

Housewives Prefer Leaner Pork Chops Chicago (U.R) A sales test has shown that housewives will pay up to 18 cents more a pound ,for lean pork cfeops, a livestock magazine reports. When "extra lean chops" were priced 10 cents more a pound than for regular loins, in a test at Champaign, 111., the nfeat sold twice as fast as the. fat slices, the National Live Stock Pro ducer reported.
