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. Dior establish
ment to watch his. mannequins
parade back and forth, . .

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. ','; "
- -The sheer Supima cotton cock
tail and qveping dresses shown
by Miss Simpson will be intro
duced to the public in her cruise-and-resort
season fashions. Miss
Simpson was the winner of the
first annual Cotton Fashion
award, presented to her in 1953
for "outstanding services '.to
American cotton in the creative
fashion field." ' . .

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.

FASTEST GROWING STATES:,
. Arizona, Delaware, Florida,
,Nevadat andNew Mexico are at
the top of, the list in rate of popu
lation growth. The Pacific Coast
has slowed down a bit in the
past four years and didn't grow
quite as fast as it did from 1940
to 1950. Florida, with a gain of
19 per cent, has edged out Cali
fornia, which grew J8 per cent
in the past four years. In actual
numbers of - people, Ijowever,
California is the leader and its
population will probably , top

Metropolitan
Will Produce
"La Traviata"
New York (U.R) Manager
Rudolf Bing of the Metropolitan
Opera is planning a new produc
tion of Verdi's ''La Traviata" for
the seasori of 1956-57 which will
be built around Renata Tebaldi,
soprano. That favorite opera is
absent from the' repertory this
season. It's last remounting at
the Met was for the season of
1935-36.
; , Next season the Met won't get
around to it until February be
cause Miss Tebaldi won't be
available until then.- But in her
new contract she agreed to take
part in the company's annual
spring tour in 1957:
Lily Pon's 25th anniversary as
a Met prima donna will be com
memorated next Jan.- 3 with - a
gala performance in which she
will appear in scenes from two
operas with which she has1 been !
particularly identified ' "Lucia
di Lammermoor and "Rigelet
to.". No other prima aonna has
been at the Met for so long. She
made her debut there in Janu
ary 1931, as Lucia, and she has
been on the roster every season
since.
