Women Still Like Full Skirts Savs Desianer Molly Parnis By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) Fashion changes will never force women to forego all their full skirts, de signer Mollie Parnis predicted today on the final day of the week's showings of new slim-med-down spring styles. Everybody's been slicing skirt sides to a minimum. Spring suits and coats are not. only straight they're tapered in toward the hemline, hobble skirt style. Prefer Full Skirts But Miss Parnis believes wo men still prefer full skirts for afternoon dresses and evening clothes. The sheath is fine, the designer says. She has those too, including one slinky dress and jacket called "the cloak and dag ger costume." The dress is snug and straight and the jacket has long scarf tabs that crisscross at the front so the wearer can hug it close to the body. Miss Parnis thinks -a costume like this is fine for daytime ev ents like lunching in town, but she stands ' by skirts with im pressed pleats or long-waisted, full-skirted dresses for social evenings. ' - One of Miss Parnis' spring dresses is a youthful checked taffeta with an unpressed pleat , ed skirt. Another has a long torso that is snugly fitted at the waist-line, but has familiar gath ers over the hips. Adele Simpson, another de signer who believes in accenting positive feminine charms, has turned -out a well-rounded sil houette for spring she calls "fleur de lis." The Simpson flower shape has a curved, yet slim skirt and a soft top that gets its flowery shape from subtle darts and ga thers. She uses it in dresses and in suits with short, curved jack ets. Mrs. Simpson uses a new cot ton chiffon for a series of frank ly fluffy printed dresses. One of her cotton chiffon prints has a white background with pumpkin-colored print. The skirt is held out over ruffled petticoats. Gatizy silks also add softeness to. dresses in Mrs. Simpson's daytime collection. The skirts are sometimes .flared and some times pulled snugly over the hips with the fullness in back. Designer Predicts 'Years of Necklaces' With Styles Changing New York Necklaces will be "in," in 1956, but the choker variety will be less important, in the opinion of a prominent jewelry stylist here. Marianne Ostier, innovator of many trends and winner of numerous design awards, pre dicts this year will be the "year of necklaces." As in other types of jewelry, necklaces will be de signed from the fashion stand point of , daytime or evening wear. Gold necklaces accented with multicolored stones are for the day, while designs in the elegant white precious metals with or without diamonds, are decreed after dark. Perhaps more than any other piece of jewelry, a necklace should be chosen with the individual woman's face, throat and complexion in mind, Mrs. Ostier feels. Some necks are too thin and long, others too wide or too short. Similarly, faces vary in these respects. The right necklace can do much to improve these short comings. For example, a lacy de sign edged with diamonds or rubies, about three-quarters of an inch -wide, enhances the beauty of a decollete more than fabrics or furs, she believes. The color of necklace stones is important for its effect on complexion. Complete color schemes in precious and semi precious stones are available for the light, dark or red-haired woman which also take into ac count eye color. GOSPEL MEETING CHURCH OF CHRIST -1056 Court St. EVANGELIST C. B. HEAD of Ceres, California Starting Sunday 10:30 A.M. and continuing each evening through Sunday, January 22 at 7:30 P.M. Public Is Invited Proper Grounding Said Nece:ary For TV Antenna Pullman When that TV an tenna goes up on your roof, be sure it's grounded! That word of advice comes from Paul Fanning, extension agricultural engineer at Wash ington State college. The grounded antenna-, Mr. Fanning says, is a precaution against lightning damage. Sets have been ruined and fires start ed in houses when lightning has been attracted to the metal mast on the roof. This happens more often out in the country than in cities where the steel frame work used in many buildings acts as a lightning shield. But wherever an antenna is a high point, it may be a target for a bolt. Direct strikes of lightning on antennas are extremely rare. Much more common is damage from lightning which strikes nearby and then is drawn to the mast. For this "spill-over" or "surge" of electricity, as the en gineer calls it, proper ground ing is good insurance. It's not difficult nor expensive to install a ground, Mr. Fanning says. That's especially true, he adds, when compared to the cost of damage which can result from lightning. A copper wire no smaller than No. . 6 should be connected from the television mast to the ground rods, located as close as possible to the base of the mast and driven in per manently damp earth. A light ning arrester carrying the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) seal of approval and designed for just this purpose should be installed in connection with the lead-in wire 'and connected to the ground wire. Mr. Fanning says it pays to have a qualified electric service man do the grounding and also put up ,Jhe antenna because he knows the requirements of the Code for Protection Against Lightning. He also knows how to fasten the mast against wind, ice loads, and other hazards and where to locate it to avoid dan ger from falling on electric wires or lines. Television is so much more complicated than radio that amateur work with it is' haz ardous as well as unsatisfactory, he says. For a delicious relish, grind to gether 4 cups of raw cranberries, 2 oranges and 1 lemon. Add 2 cups of sugar, mix well and chill. Serve in the orange shells from which the fruit was removed. .

SIXTH AND CENTRAL MEDFORD'S BARGAIN CORNER Good Breakfast Gives Third of Day's Nutrition A good way to start the new year right is to take stock of the family's breakfast. Is it hasty, catch-as-catch-can, or none at all? Believe it or not, every breakfast should be an appetiz ing eye-opener, and should sup ply about 13 of the day's nutri tion needs. And it can be, with a little planning" and fore thought. One of the best ways to give a "boost" to breakfast, is to include a glass of milk for. ev eryone. That means mother-and dad, too, as well as the young sters. Of all the common foods we use, milk is our richest source of calcium. It also con tains valuable protein, other minerals and many vitamins. Children need four glasses a day; adults two to three, and to meet that requirement each day, milk should be a ; "must" at breakfast. Remember that cereals can be cooked . in milk as well as served with it, and cocoa served as a beverage, for those who do not like to drink milk. ' . . . . . You can have good breakfasts day after day without ' greatly varying the menu, but it's fun once in a while to surprise your family with something a little special. 'Plan a surprise when someone is going to have a long, hard day, or when the weather is particularly discouraging. Or just to make the day seem brighter. It will give you all a lift. Here's a good one: Grape fruit halves, creamed dried beef on toasted English muffins, but ter, preserves, milk and coffee. Or serve orange-pineapple juice, choice of cereals with, milk or cream, cheese scrambled eggs, whole-wheat toast, butter and jam, milk and coffee. Remember to take advantage of the wonderful packaged mix es on the market, to save time, and add variety to your break fast menu.- For four servings of cheese scrambled eggs use 2 tablespoons butter, 6 eggs, one-half teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one-half cup rich milk, one-third cup grated cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons minced parsley and a dash of Tabasco sauce. Melt butter in top of double boiler. Beat eggs; add salt, pepper, milk and beat well. Add cheese and parsley. Pour into double boiler and cook over hot water until thick and creamy, occasionally scraping egg from bottom and sides of pan as it sets. SPICE CIDER Chicago i(U.R) Try spicy hot "calypso cider" after games. To 2 quarts of cider or apple juice add Va cup of brown or maple sugar, 2 tablespoons of angos tura bitters, 3 slices of orange and 3 slices of lemon. Heat cider with sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and add orange and lemon slices. Simmer for 10 minutes, add bitters,, stir and serve. Yield, 2 quarts. Spring Star!
