ST.JQSEPH ASPIRIHJ 0RCH1LRIH Thursday, March 1, 1956 i come a forgotten skill now seems i more distant than it did 10 years J ago. We called the miracle fabrics. Pop could take off his overcoat and toss it into the Monday wash. Tuesday he'd take it off the line and wear it to work. Clothes would resist stains, wrinkles, moths, storms, stress everything but fire and theft. Well, miracles do happen, if somebody wants them desperate ly enough. But now we have shown that we're not desperately anxious for the indestructible party dress or the washable Tux edo. No Miracles Women like children's clothes which require little or no iron ing; they look for sports clothes for their own week end outings that are easy to pack and keep clean. But they don't expect mir acles. So the newest fabrics for next year are combinations of "mira-cle"-dubbed fibers and other fa miliar fibers. "It is less important than you would think to develop com pletely washable, no-iron fab rics," one manufacturer's spokes man explained. We have discov ered that women buy the style and the looks of the fabrics. This is true in inexpensive clothes as well as expensive dresses. Wom en want to be informed just how to take care of the dress, but they don't expect a good dress that requires no special care." Little. Ironing Another man described his company's new washable syn thetic fabrics as requiring "little or no ironing, with the empha sis on the little ironing." Women's willingness to give gentle care to a dress, suit or coat they like is only one reason for our new realism about mira cles, according to another ex pert. A second reason is the dif ficulty in turning fabrics that are washable and wrinkle-proof into dresses with identical durability. "Women who sew can sympa thize with the dress manufac turers," one man explained. "The thread must be tested for, ma chine washability; the linings must be cut on identical bias to shrink identically; the buttons must be rust proof." If the style has to suffer for the durability, women will pick up the iron rather than give up the style.

H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook Two schools of thought prevailed concerning the weather in this area the past week (1) that it was good. (2) that it was bad, depending on w-hether one was a youngster in grammar school, or was engaged in the logging or lumber indus try. The children thought it was great, as they enjoyed a three day unexpected holiday, due in part to the inclement weather. On Monday the furnace at school broke down, and on Tuesday the school bus driver, Louie Freitas, was unable to get through the high water covering the road between his place and Horn brook, so school had to be called off. Wednesday being Washing ton's birthday was a regularly scheduled holiday. The lumbermen, however, are taking a dim view of the wea'ther. They no sooner get un derway with their operations than another spell of heavy rains comes along and they are forced to shut down again. Walter Bray, who has been the Union Oil Co. truck driver in this district for some years, suf fered a broken shoulder and severe bruises last week when he pulled out to pass another car on Highway 99 about one-quarter mile south of Henley Way. Due apparently to some fault in the steering apparatus, the truck refused to pull back on the right side of the road, and continued across the road and over the embankment. He vns taken to the hospital in Yreka where he is reported recovering satisfac torily. "Walt" is a Hornbrook boy, and is a brother of Mrs. Rob Cummins and Mrs. Henley Claw son. Mrs. James Hodge entertained the Contract Bridge club at her home on Old Highway 99 on Feb. 22. The Washington's birthday theme was used in decorations and r e f r eshments. Members playing were Mrs. L. E. Jeter, Mrs. Laura Swinnerton, Mrs. Duane Hamner, Mrs. Lester Nye, Mrs. Bertha Bradley, Mrs. Grace Quigley, Mrs. Ed Smith, and the hostess. Mrs. Jeter won high- score, Mrs. Swinnerton, second. The Women's Society of the Hornbrook Community Meth- Campfire Girls Group Active ' O-Ne-Kizu Camp Fire group of Eagle Point has been very busy in the past few weeks. We gave a skating party, for the March of Dimes, with guests invited. A nice donation was made, through the cooperation of the Rogue Valley ballroom where the party was held. This project was sponsored by both the- Camp Fire groups in Eagle Point. Mrs. Ray Chamberlain has been helping us with music and choral reading for our coming birthday dinner. To complete our 1955-56 birthday project, we attended an Eagle Point city council meeting. For Valentine's day, the two girls working on fire makers' rank, Lana McGraw and Edna Gray, planned a formal dinner party for a mixed group. This fulfilled two of their main re quirements. The two girls had to budget and plan their menu, do the buying, and cook the dinner, and plan the entertain ment for fourteen guests. Each girl in our group was present, accompanied by a male escort. We finished hospital favors for the Sacred Heart hospital maternity ward. This helps the trail seekers in our group ful fill one of their requirements. .
