TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE " Friday, March IS, 1958 fYrYrY m mnm6 American Women Said Cause Of French Fashion Changes By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Without American women French design ers could not change fashion so regularly. We buy the "audacious" styles in a Paris collection, Hubert de Givenchy says. So do Italian women. But the French women choose tlic conservative clothes that resemble last year's. Givenchy is one of the top 10 Parisien designers, although he is only 29 years old and looks like an American college basket ball player. He towers 6 feet, and wears collegiate tweed jackets with casual slacks. Big Show He arrived here last week to show his entire spring collection Make a Date with the Newest GOME IN AND Roarer 'ROMP ( BLOCK OR 'ROUND THE TOWN IF YOU, LIKE I J SEE YOUR NEAREST OLDSMOBILE at a 5100-a-ticket fashion show. His opinions on clothes are stated in a mixture of French and English and with the calm assurance of a successful busi nessman in any field. "American and Italian women stimulate designers to do new things." Givenchy said' in an in terview. "When I am designing I keep in mind more the Amer ican woman than the French woman." His clothes are noted for their youthful style, yet Givenchy said he designes with the mature woman in mind . because young women aren't interesting to a designer. "They have had no life," he said. "If you design for them it would be too simple." Since American and Italian women determine which new styles will become popular, we asked Givenchy what he pre dicted we would choose for our future. "The shape of the future is the easy line that does not mold the figures," he said without hesita tion. "Everybody will adjust it to her own figure. It is not shape less. It follows the body line but does not constrain it." The reason we'll go for the loose-waisted dresses isn't very flattering, according to the boy ish designer. He says the ma jority of women "do not have a beautiful shape." The loose fit ting dress, properly adapted to each' figure, can make women look taller and slimmer. Ycung Violinist On Telephone Hour Violinist Marilyn Dubow, who will be featured on the Tele phone hour broadcast Monday, March 19, over KMED at 9 p.m., will be the youngest artist ever to appear on the program.

" ' Doctor Says Research Key to Health Problems Research is the key to the world's unsolved medical and health problems according to Dr. J. Corwin Hinshaw, well known California physician who spoke for the annual meeting of Jack son County Public Health association yesterday noon. It was held at the Jackson hotel, with Mrs. Henry Padgham presiding and Mrs. Allan Perry introducing the speaker. Dr. Hinshaw, one of the na-, Penney DAYS!

ONLY 3 tion's noted specialists in di seases of the chest, stated that in spite of the great strides made in conquering infectious di seases, much remained to be done in other fields and that more and more research will provide the answer. He added that finances should be no bar rier, that the main trouble is a lack of qualified investigators. The average medical doctor, trained to . treat the sick, has little time for. excursions into the unknown, Dr. Hinshaw said, and added that much valuable information which these men learn in the course of their prac tices is lost to the world when they die. All qualified and trained scientists with ideas and prob lems for research should be given the time and facilities to work on these, Dr. Hinshaw said, and further- declared that pub lic funds should be provided for this. "We should subsidize the students and not the schools," he added. Dr. Hinshaw praised the work of groups such as the Jackson County Public Health associa tion, and said that education should be the prime objective of such organizations. News papers and magazines are the chief means of spreading infor mation on health, the speaker said, and added that these two media have improved a great deal in recent years as far as this type of material is con cerned. Ethics Changed The speaker further said that the medical profesison has "com pletely changed its code of ethics" in the matter of public appearances and cooperation with lay groups such as public health associations, and said that no longer than 15 years ago doctors were discouraged from speaking to lay groups in the manner that he was doing. Dr. Hinshaw predicted that the time was not far away when pathology would be taught, in high school or colleges and said this "would largely do away with quacks," since the general public would have - knowledge which would make their exist ence virtually impossible. The speaker said early in his talk that the health and welfare of the people in the United States is "better attended to' than that of any other people anywhere at any time in history. "Our system is superior, he said, and added that in our efforts to improve the health of the nation,: "we should hot tam per with; the system." Infectious diseases are the bane of mankind in almost every country but the United States, he said. Chief among these is tuberculosis, Dr. Hinshaw de cleared, and emphasized that five per cent of the people of the worldv have tuberculosis. The reason the record of the United States is better than other countries is due largely to the effort of "such organizations as this," he said. In stressing that tuberculosis is still the number one prob lem among infectious diseases, Dr. Hinshaw said TB is lareelv preventable. The speaker gave figures about tuberculosis, say ing that TB patients- in San Francisco's hospital for the indi gent number as many as all other patients combined. Some who know they have the di sease resist treatment, Dr. Hin shaw added, and said that one third of the TB patients in vet eran hospitals leave before they are completely cured and against the advice of their doc tors, thus . becoming patential spreaders of the disease. Compares Figures : Comparing . tuberculosis fig ures with those of other diseases, Dr. Hinshaw said that deaths from - heart-disease were de plorable only in so far as they are preventable and ' control!, able, and added that the increas ing number of deaths from heart trouble is in reality an index to the extended span of life in this nation.

Dr. Hinshaw discussed some of the economic aspects of death, remarking that "it is a mistake to believe that productivity of man needs to end at 65." Considering causes of death other than disease, Dr. Hinshaw spoke of the large number of death from, motor accidents and said these are greater than deaths from tuberculosis. He said that, now many studies are now being made on the causes of death in auto accidents and pointed to the fact that this year there is a new trend to ward safety in automobile con struction. Dr. Hinshaw also spoke of alcoholism, saying the highest per capita consumption of liquor in the United States is in Wash ington, D.C., and the second highest is in San Francisco. He commented that the medical profession and public health as sociation have done little as yet on the problems of alcoholism. The speaker closed his talk by saying that happiness and pro ductivity are impossible- with out health. He said he believed that "freedom from contagious diseases" should be added to the various other freedoms which people of this nation enjoy. "We are entitled to clean food, clean water and clean air air free from germs," he said, "And I believe public health groups have much to contribute in the program of improving the health of the nation." Mrs. Padgham conducted the' annual business meeting of the association, and officers were elected, A large audience heard Dr. Hinshaw and took part in the meeting. The Rev. Thomas McCamant offered prayer. Bethel Observes Eastern Star Night Shady Cove Eastern Star night was observed at a recent meeting of Bethel 56, . Interna tional Order of Job's Daughters.
