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.

up
and often brushed up in the
back.
Silhouette Basically slender
with skirt width varying from
skin tight to full. When full,
skirts are worn over petticoats
less stiffened than in other sea
sons. A widening shoulder line,
A so-called waistline that can't
make up its mind, sometimes set
almost at the armhole, other-
times dropped nearly to the
knee, still other times disap
pearing.' 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. The Corset and Bras
siere Council said that founda
tion garment fabrics will be
lighter than ever. 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.
Prices The Dress Institute
predicted no change in apparel
prices, but said women would
spend more for new accessories.
Other industry sources predicted
that for the first six months of
1956 would be up three to five
per cent over 1955.

SWISS CHEESE SAUCE
i - -JJ
Cheese adds to the flavor and texture of many tempting sauces.
Although most homemakers are more familiar with white sauces
that require American or Cheddar cheese, there are endless possibilities
for distinctive sauces which make use of the wide variety of cheeses
available. This delicious sauce made with Swiss cheese is excellent for
hot cooked vegetables or served on toast with crisp bacon.
3 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
34 teaspoons salt
18 teaspoon ground black pepper
115 teaspoon ground cayenne
pepper
34 cup finely chopped Swiss
cheese
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Melt margarine in a saucepan. Blend in flour. Stir In milk. Cook
until medium thickness. Add seasonings and Swiss cheese. Mix well
and cook over low heat until cheese is almost melted. Stir in lemon
juice. Serve over hot cooked vegetables or on toast with crisp bacon.
This makes one and three-fourths cups.
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. -

in Swanton, Vt., by bus . last
Tuesday. 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.

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.
Book Review Unit
To Hold Meeting
The American- Association' of
University Women afternoon
book review group will hear a
review of the book, "The Man
in the Gray Flannel Suit," by
Sloan Wilson, when they meet
Wednesday, January 11. Mrs.
Paul Dix will give the review.
Mrs. Milo Kubalek, 817 South
Oakdale avenue, will be the hos
tess in her home.
One of these was kept at room
temperature for a week, after
which it had excellent dessert
quality. A survey of the control
methods and equipment used
throughout the nation leads to
the conclusion that we in the
west are right at the top, the
entomologist reported.

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. When the price
spread was increased to 18 cents,
the sale of lean chops about
equaled the sale of fat chops. "
The two grades of meat were
packaged alike and. displayed
side by side in self-service meat
departments.
The test is5another indication
to farmers that raising meat-type
hogs is one way to increase the
sale of pork, the magazine said.
