Easter Preview One hat designer frantically worked to finish 100 hats so he could take part in three differ ent shows. Another rushed a special summer group of red vel vet hats to completion in time for Easter Sunday preview. "We've already outfitted 18 dogs and it may end up being 25," said a spokesman for Ca nine Couturiere which is han dling the fashion end of things for dogs at a tea time shof at the Savoy Plaza hotel. Several hat designers claim they will be showing the biggest hats in town at the Sunday shows. Certainly the hats are the biggest of the last decade. "Mine will be as large as cof fee tables," Walter Florell said. Florell has made "about up" hats to show at two different Easter Sunday shows. Biggest Ever Mr. Fred of John Fredericks, will - show approximately 100 hats in three different fashion shows. He "halted his frantic preparations long enough to give a description. "Big ... big ... big . .. big," the designer said. "They are the biggest they have ever been." Mr. Fred believes that big hats are becoming on almost any woman. They make a wom an's face seem more delicate, he says, "and minimize the body." Micol Fontana, the Rome de signer chosen by Margaret Tru man to make her wedding dress, will give her first Easter Sun day fashion show here at the Ho tel Plaza. The hats to go with her dresses were designed by American milliner Emme, who says they are "the largest ones in town." As for the dogs, something simple like a cashmere sweater with a rhinestone collar is high ly favored. One father-daughter dog combination will wear matching wool coats of ice blue. Daughter, the dog designer said, will also wear a flower beret. Famous French Inspired at Odd By BARBARA MILLER United Press Correspondent Paris (U.R) That new French fashion may have started as a rough sketch on a restaurant tablecloth. Or it may have been born while the designer planted a tree or took a trip on a train. Top Parisian designers, it turns out, never stop designing. They "create" while they eat, pursue a hobby, or just sit. Several designers, such as Christion Dior and Castillo of Lanvin, make hundreds of sketches before turning their de signs over to a "modeliste" who ; interprets them in unbleached I muslin. I Others, like Chanel, cut brave ly into a fabric itself, draping it on a live mannequin. This meth od often is expensive because a misdirected snip can ruin the desired look. Peace and Quiet Pierre Balmain both sketched and draped as he prepared his spring line. His gowns are "built," due no doubt to his ear ly training in architecture. Hav ing indicated either in pencil or muslin his ideas, Balmain turns them over to his assistants who are perhaps some of the most ac- i complished dressmakers in the i world. I Asked if he sought a special ! atmosphere in which to design, 1 Balmain answered: . "I create wherever I am. I am ; inspired by the landscape or by I Paris streets. I create in the car, ! in my salon, on the train. I don't think of the dress. I think of the woman who will wear it." 1 1 The woman who wears a Bal Imain number may have spent as much as S3,000 for it. Dior, whose collections influ ence fashions from Cairo to Cal ifornia, seeks peace and quiet iwhen a new line is in the mak i ing. He may retire to his villa in historic Fointainbleau, where he I gets ideas while following his 1 present hobby of planting trees. Sports, he calls "barbarous." Non-Stop Castillo In three weeks Dior may pro j duce as many as 500 to 600 sketches. Back in Paris, these ! are scaled down and the nucleus is turned over to Madame Mar guerite, often called Dior's "alter ego." It is her job to turn Dior's ideas into the finished product. Castillo never stops sketching. Restaurant tablecloths and nap- ! kins are his favorite sketch pads. j Restaurants often bill Castillo j for linens he has carried away to preserve an idea. Mme. Jacques Fath, whose de signer husband died a year and a half ago. creates "cerebrally."

(U.R) Fashion should be the last consideration when buying new furniture, says Gertrude Hoffman, home fur nishings specialist at the Univer sity of Wisconsin. Decide what will fit in with family activities, then make the selection, she said. The cost is not a sufficient guide, she said. Textures of fabrics, color of wood, and the design are better clues to good choices. Harmony between ad joining rooms as well as within each room also should be con sidered. "But don't forget your budg et," she said. "The most expen sive items should be those which are used most often beds, davenports, chests, dining table and comfortable chairs." AMATEUR TARGET .

Please Note From the play titled ' A Win ter's Tale" by William Shakes peare I quote: Good, my Lord, forbear, The ruddiness upon her lip is wet, You'll mar it if you kiss it, Stain your own - With oily painting. That was written 345 years ago. Gives you an idea how long kissing has been handicapped by make-up. Is there such a thing as "kissproof" lipstick at this time? If so, why is it so few females use it? Why do so many girls extend their cheek when a sal utation by kissing is imminent? Why are lipstick stains so fre quently mentioned in divorce Each Lb. - m m m m m sr Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Twenty five years ago Buddy Rogers was "America's Boy Friend" of the uuj m he's back on 5T? film but this g?V time as a gun- totin' preach er in a west ern. Movie fans remember Buddy as that perennial college boy Aline Mosby who romped through "Wings," "My Best Girl" and "Road To Reno." Then he was the smiling leader of a dance band at college proms around the country. Today Rogers has stepped out of stereotype to shoulder a shootin' iron and gallop over the purple sage as a fighting person. He hired himself for the part. Rogers decided to make four movies as an independent pro- ducer. His director asked the boss to take a role in the com pany's first film, "The Killer and 21 Men" starring Bob Steele and Marie Windsor. Part Offered "The director came to me with the part," explained Rogers. "I hadn't intended to play the role. I told them I didn't want to try acting again. But they talked me into it. So I got my feet wet. "Now somebody wants me to do a TV series about a fighting parson, but it would be too much work." Rogers never has appeared in a western before nor played a minister. The still youthful Rogers hasn't acted since he ap peared 1 n "Don't Trust Your Husband" with Madeline Carroll in 1951. And that was his first film in many years.

Included in the trip ' was a guided tour through the Naval research laboratory where an atomic reactor was in the ad vanced stages of construction. Two models of the reactor were on display and figured in special experiments for the group. At the same laboratory was the inspection of a transparent, plastic model of the artificial satellite which is to be launched within the next few years. While teaching at Eugene High school, Diebel was cited by the U.S. office of education in 1947 as one of America's outstanding teachers. He had five students who won Westinghouse talent search awards. He has taken scholastic work at Linfield, Chico State, the University of Oregon, and has been on the teaching staff at Southern Ore gon college since 1953. Phone 3-1733
