Dior Spring Fashions Reveal Wide Shoulders, Slim Skirts By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York--(U.R) French de signer Christian . Dior revealed today that his spring plans for American women include wider shoulders, slimmer skirts, and waistlines just about any place a woman wishes. The Parisian, originator of drastic style changes, such as the first "new look" and the flat chested 'H-line silhouette," has not tampered with the hemline or the bustline. Dior designed spring suits that sometimes have noticeable pad ding in the shoulders and often have double - breasted jackets only slightly indented at the waist. He calls his epen-necked dress es, often with wide collars, the "Lily" line. His afternoon dresses are cool shades like cantaloupe, lemon and apricot. The most startling fashion the Dior models wore when they pa raded his spring fashions yester day before fashion writers at tending the Dress Institute's Spring Press Week were their hats. Dior believes in hats pulled low over the forehead the deep dish varieties that have down curving brims and reach almost to the eyebrows. The newest Dior evening dresses have skirts short in front and long in back. One of these is a white and gold printed satin taffeta with a skirt that fans from calf length in front to floor length in back. Designer Anthony Blotta in troduced something he called the "hobble silhouette." Blotta pulls in skirts low on the hips with an inch-wide band of self-fabric, Occasionally 1 suit -jackets are hobbled too. The bloused back is cupped in near the hemline with a hobble band. Ben Reig showed suits with shorter jackets, a general trend, and dresses with most of the pleats and bows in the back. One of his "black silk dinner dresses for spring has a lowcut neck line in back and tiers of ruffles that flutter from the back sash. After watching the predictions of a score of leading American designers, one fact is obvious: A woman's most important WICKS Rub Away SUFFER!

Main Feeding the Family -By ZOLA Feed Potatoes: Popular Food Heavy supplies of high qual ity potatoes from the late pro ducing states in the Western area are available at attractive consumer prices. The abundance is the result of a large crop this year. The quality is high be cause of good growing condi tions and careful grading before shipment. Potatoes probably are served more often than any other ve getable in most American house holds. Although they may ibe served in a variety of ways boiled, fried, baked, creamed and in combination with many other foods surveys show plain mashed potatoes with butter or gravy to be -the most popular dish. ; Baked Potato Dinner Practically a meal in itself, we think this baked potato dish will stand in competition with mashed potatoes and butter any day of the year. . 6 medium-sized baking potatoes 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup sour cream cup chopped green onion or chives 6 crisp bacon slices, broken in bits ' Scrub and grease potatoes. Bake in moderate oven (400 de grees) 50 to 60 minutes or until easily pierced wtih a fork. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Re move potato from shells. Mash, add salt, sour cream and onion. Beat well. Refill potato shells, sprinkle with bacon bits and re turn to oven for five minutes. If you like, serve with addition al whipped sour cream to which a-bit of salt has been added. Six servings. Orange Bread Pudding High on your hit parade of puddings will be this meringue topped orange flavored gem. 2 eggs ' ' 2 cups milk 1 tablespoon grated orange rind M cup sugar Vi teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon nutmeg Vi teaspoon almond extract 2 cups buttered bread cubes Scald milk and add orange rind. Separate eggs; add milk to yolks. Add half of sugar and re maining seasoning to mixture. Pour over bread cubes in oiled casserole. Set in pan of hot wa ter and bake in 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until barely set. Just before serving, top with meringues made wtih egg whit es beaten with remaining sugar. Add a dash of salt and a few drops of vanilla. Put pudding back in oven until meringues brown lightly. Broiled Oysters Either canned or fresh oysters are equally good for this succu lent recipe. 3 cups oysters 2 cups sour cream 4 tablespoons chili sauce V4 teaspoon paprika 6 drops tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon prepared mustard Vt. teaspoon salt Va teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons butter, melted Vz cup fine dry bread crumbs 4 slices bacon, cut in pieces Drain oysters and arrange in shallow buttered baking dish.

Easy Way to Pop Corn No special poppers are really needed for home-popping corn: A heavy pan or skillet is al that is required. Place about three ta blespoons of cooking oil in the bottom of the pan or popper and heat until a kernel of pop ; corn dropped in the hot oil pops. Pour in - one-third cup of ' pop corn and reduce heat to medium. Put lid, on pan, shake until all corn is popped.

Potatoes, Onions, Beef Lead Market Parade Potatoes have been designated by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture as the plen- tiful-food-to-feature during the middle of January. Large crops of top quality potatoes and on ions, the world's most . popular seasoning, make them both ex cellent buys. Full of vitamins and minerals necessary to health, they make a flavorsome combination in stews, soups, sur rounding pot roasts, salads (po tato, that is), and many other dishes including potato souffles Try a new recipe using potatoes and onions this week, perhaps in combination with beef which will be the number one item -on meat counters. Special empha sis will be on chuck, rounds and ground beef. Best Vegetable Buys. Besides potatoes and onions are carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce, Bell peppers and squash. Root vege tables excepting carrots ' are in lighter supply than in former years, but are still in the good buv class. Artichokes are in creasingly available. Winter pro duction of celery continues to expand with corresponding price drop. Broccoli and cauliflower supplies are down from last month. Best Fruii Buys. The accent continues on apples, with red and golden delicious and New- towns in good supply. Winter pears are of excellent quality and fairly priced. Grapefruit and oranges are on the increase Tangerines are at their "peak Grapes are on their way out so' enjoy them while you may. Meat Department. All cuts of beef- are plentiful, but the very best buys will be the less tender cuts and ground beef. Keep in mind that the tougher cuts are nutritionally every bit as good as the more expensive cuts. Pork prices are moving upward, al though there are still some real bargains in shoulders, picnics and bacon. Poultry. Home freezer owners would do well to take advantage of buys in poultry now. All poultry is plentiful with fryers a particularly attractive buy for the economy minded homemak- er. , Fish and Shellfish. Fresh sea food supplies will vary consid erably, dependent upon the weather. However, there will be a wide variety of frozen fish and shellfish to choose from.

Bishop's Company To Give Second Performance Tonight A comnanv which is strivine where it originated presented an interesting and moving inter pretation of Alan Paton's powerful story, "Cry, the Beloved Coun try," at First Presbyterian church last night. Without benefit of scenery or curtains, and with a minimum of props, makeup and costuming, the cast of the Bishop's company unfolded the gripping story of the race prejudices ana tensions wmcu prevail iuaay in South Africa, and which are having repercussions throughout the world. , This excellent company is ap pearing twice more in Medford, tonight and Saturday, ana ae serves the attention of' those in the valley who enjoy drama. Possibly because drama in the church is something of a new idea here, some have the erro neous idea that the plays are in movie form. The company is very much "alive," and is an excellent one which has toured the nation and was a part of the official program for the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches held in Evanston, 111., not. long ago. In last night's presentation Hal Bokar starred in the role of Stephen Kumalo, the aging and humble minister whose family is almost completely destroyed by conditions in South? Africa conditions about which so many think "nothing can , be done." Bokar, although 28 years of age, gave a successful and sensitive interpretation of the native pas tor. Outstanding also in his role was James Wheaton as Msiman- gu, the native pastor who fears that "when they have turned to loving, we will have turned .to hating." Actually, every mem ber of the cast is well-tramea and able, and in spite of the fact that there is almost no action, the power of their voices com bine with the beauty and truth of Paton's writings to produce imnrpssivp results. Others in the cast were Wil liam Wahl who plays both the roles of Stephen Kumalo's son and brother, John Baisch as the narrator; . Minna Caldwell as Mrs. Kumalo, Elizabeth Wolfe as the girl, Carl Parrar as' the superintendent, Merle Harbach as Father Vincent and Craig Beardsley as Young Jarvis. Because most of the roles are those of South African persons played by whites, and because there is one Negro in the cast some of the audience were mo mentarily confused. But as. the program explained, "The cast ing of the play was done with out regard for race. When an actor plays any role, he assumes the responsibility of playing that character with dimension and understanding. If he can do this, if he has the humbleness STAR BREAKS ANKLE New York (U.R) Actress Sheiley Winters was recovering today from a broken ankle suf fered while she was teaching her three-year-old daughter, Vit torio, how to roller- skate.

The children were placed in a ioster nome m rrovo yester day after their mother sobbing- ly refused to sign an affidavit promising to abandon polygamy because of "my conscience and religion."
