TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) Longer Skirts Make News at Fashion Shows By BARBARA MILLER United Press Fashion Writer Pans 'M .R) Skirt lengths as low as eisht inches from the floor are the most startling in novations of the week-long fash-1 ion shows which ended here i Tuesday. To a lesser drgree, the new roundness and volume of the 1956 Paris silhouette, was also revolutionary fns,hion news. So, for autumn and winter clothes, the "shape" as French dress makers ee it. should he: Shoulders: Wider and rounder. Sleeves are set in on the arm rather than the shoulder or rag Ian style. Bu.st: More or less normal al though the ample fullness of the shoulder also rounds the bust. Waist: Never at home. High waists are still fashionable but the beltline sometimes drops down just below the normal level. However, most styles are at least eased in at the natural waistline. Hips: Rounded by shirred or gathered skirts but otherwise slim. Two types of clothing made a sensational, comeback the dress , and the cape. American buyers think the dress will be the big gest fashion news in the states this year, according to Miss Betsy . Blankweil of Madamoiselle mag azine. Thus a typical outfit in the Paris collections was a coat-cape and a dress, or jacket and dress ensemble. In past season sepa rates, suits, and two-piecers were most popular. Skirts made news not only with their new length but also with the fullness which rounded! the hips. Accordion pleated skirts went out of fashion, unpressed pleats came in.

CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Each year at this time there is considerable complaint about tomatoes developing a black spot on the blossom end. This trouble is referred to as blossom end rot. It is a trouble which is as sociated with the growing season and because of that it would be futile to attempt to control it with any spray. The trouble is a result of a distnibance of water relations within the plant. During our dry days many plants have difficulty supplying ample water to the leaves, even though the soil may be fairly well supplied with moisture. " As a result of this we find that after a severe hot spell such as we experienced last week some varieties will suffer. Those varieties which can not with stand this hot weather will devel op malformations in fruits. Other varieties growing along side of these will continue to produce fruits which are perfectly nor mal. In First Fruits Generally speaking this blos som end rot is most severe in the first fruits which ripen al though occasionally it continues to be severe throughout the tomato season. As this is a condition which arises each year it would be well for home owners to look over their patches and any varieties which show blossom end rot should be noted and in another year those varieties should be discarded in favor of ones which have little or no blossom end rot. Maintaining good soil moisture, that is not allowing the plants to begin to dry and still not giving them an excessive amount of water will help keep this con dition at a minimum.

Federal union bargainers post poned a strike scheduled for Boston Newspaper Having Salary Trouble Boston (U.R) The Boston Post missed its first two editions today but finally hit the streets two hours late to climax a night during which the newspaper's 800 employees walked out for lack of back-pay. The 11 unions representing the employees issued a flat "no pay no work" edict and told pub lisher John Fox to "remove him self from the picture" and sell the 125-year-old Democratic daily.

Students Attending OSC Should Make Housing Plans Corvallis Students planning to attend Oregon State college this fall who have not yet made housing arrangements are urged to do so as soon as possible by college officials. All college - owned campus housing is already taken for the coming year, according to E. B. Lemon, dean of administration. This includes dormitories for men and women, college mar ried student units, and coopera tive houses where students share housekeeping duties. No more applications will be accepted for these. Lemon said.. This means, . he explained, that students who have not made reservations in college units must make arrangements to live in rooms or apartments in private homes, rooming houses, and apartment bouses . in and around Corvallis. Will Help Students The college housing office will help students find available community housing but students themselves must make final ar rangements with the homeown er or landlord. . . Women students who need help with housing should check with the dean of women's office when they come to Corvallis, Lemon said. Men students and married students should contact the housing office maintained by the dean of men's office. Both offices are in the com merce building. To help meet increasing num bers of students expected this fall, the college has added 114 places for men in its dormitories by remodeling and adding bunks to various rooms. Eighty addi tional spaces for women have been made availabe by establish ment of a new coed cooperative house and by adding an extra bed to 40 rooms in one of the dormitories. The expansions, however, bring the dormitories up to 'ultimate capacity. Two new dormitories for men are now under construction but will not be ready until the fall of 1957.
