TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Arrow Look Introduced By Czar Dior By BARBARA MILLER United Press Correspondent Paris (U.R) Fashion czar Christian Dior introduced today the "Arrow Look" for 1956, a new silhouette that flattened bosoms but flat. The Dior silhouette for the coming year, highlight of the Paris 1956 fashion collections, was as straight and thin as an arrow. a He completely erased any trace of a curve this year as he introduced the "Arrow Look" to succeed the "A" and "H" lines the bust up to the breastbone. The fashion world had looked to Dior's show to help make up its mind on what the 1956 sil houette would look like. Nearly 500 women crowded into. Dior's plush salon for the unveiling of his 1956 collection, the most awaited event of the Paris spring fashions. . . The silhouette torso line rose straight up like a projectile and landed just under the bust. But the bust was gone and in its place was a line marked by belts and drapes. The effect was spectacular, but Dior's new girdles, introduced with the new line, made an iron vest look simple by contrast. The styles won wild applause from oohing and. .aahing wom en crowded into three big salons and standing all the way up the main stairs of the.

' ' Relieve Suffering Fast-Effectively with I I Birthday Marked By Nurse Corps; Reserves Needed Today is the fifty-fifth birth day of the Army Nurse corps and it finds the corps faced with a new challenge, that of build ing a strong reserve force of qualified professional nurses. This challenge not- only con fronts the corps .but the total profession of nursing, an ANC release states.- "The nursing profession has always rallied to the call of the military in time of war but to day we live in a nebulous peace, a peace dependent upon . pre paredness, and the Army Nurse corps needs professional nurses in its reserve corps units, the re lease states. "Nurses may, while retaining their civilian positions, become members of a reserve medical unit in their community. By this method it is possible for nurses to prepare . themselves for service to their, community in event of local disaster or for their country in event of war. Every nurse can help preserve our chosen way of life by volun teering for a position of profes sional leadership in your local reserve unit." "There are several thousand Army Nurse Corps spaces in re serve units for those in special ized clinical ' fields as well as many spaces for general duty nurses. A reserve nurse earns additional pay and points for re tirement income while increas ing her professional knowledge and skills for both disaster or military nursing," the statement .concludes.

New - Cotton Used For Spring Frocks , - A new fashion fabric made its. debut recently in a group ' of dresses designed by Adele Simp son. The fabric is Supima, the newest : American-grown extra long staple cotton. ... Supima is a lustrous, silky cot ton which American growers are counting on to challenge . Egyp tian varieties for the. fine cotton supremacy of the world.-It was recently developed after years of research by geneticists of the De partment, of. Agriculture's Ari zona Experiment station in Tuc son.; The variety is a botanical descendant of the famous Sea 1st land cotton which once flourish ed along the Georgia coast be fore the boll weevil made it un economical to grow. With the botanical name of Pima S-l, Supima cotton has been grown ' experimentally for the past two years in the Amer ican Southwest. This year some 40,000 bales of the fiber are be ing harvested in Arizona?. New Mexico, and .the El Paso area of Texas virtually the entire acre age allotted by the Department of -Agriculture, to extra long sta pie varieties.

' . . s . m 1 1 1 eep Ji Stewart and King t:::-rp As We Live By ELIZABETH HU1LOCK, PH.D. A person who lacks foresight and does not plan ahead often relies on others to help him out. (Q) "I have ..always fried . to be on friendly terms with my neigh bors because 1 think it is pleasanier to live in a neighborhood of friends than ene Dr. Hurlock mies, now ever, I am having trouble with one of mY neighbors and I don't know how lo handle the problem without making ene mies with her. She is one of those women who is very scatter-brained, is always go ing out to see people, and pays little attention to her home. She starts to prepare dinner only to discover she is out of butter, flour, for gravy, or even salt. She then comes over to borrow from me and rarely returns what she has borrowed. I have the car one day a week so I can do my weekly marketing. Time after time she comes in, after I have finished marketing, and asks me to drive her to the store as she must have this or that and : has no car to get there. How would"' you deal with this -problem?" Mrs. T. H. (A) , I would simply tell this neighbor that you are low on butter, salt, floiir, or whatever it is she needs and that you can not spare any for her. Then suggest that she try' another neighbor. When she asks you to drive. her to the store', say you would have been glad to have ..taken her when you went, had she asked you sooner, but that you haye certain- things that must be done in the .house and you, therefore cannot spare, the time to make another trip. . You do ; not have to be dis agreeable about these matters or anger her so that she will , be come an enemy. On the other hand, you should not permit her to impose upon you or get things from you that you can use as well' as she and then not return them. . Because you have been oblig ing in the past, she regards you as an easy mark and finds it convenient to be able to rely upon you when she needs help. If you stiffen up and let her know that you are not the easy mark she has thought you to be, she will go elsewhere and not bother you as she has in the past. (Copyright 1956, General Fea tures Corp.)
