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.

HORNBROOK
Weather Opinions Divided
By MRS. H. 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. .
Our current service project is
supplying baby-sitting for every
meeting of the Eagle Point Ele
mentary PTA.
