'American Look7 Sweeps Paris;
Women Adopt Casual Style
Hardy Giant - Now Blooming
Come Early and Select Your Colors
LEWIS' NURSERY-Jacksonville
Turn Right at Drug Store, U Mile No. on Old Stage Road
By BARBARA MILLER
United Press Correspondent
Paris iU.P.) The "American
look" is the latest style in this
fashion center which prides it
self on decreeing what the
world's women will wear.
While Christian Dior and his
high-fashion friends were busy
showing, their fall collections to
American buyers, the French
ready - to - wear manufacturers
were just as busy turning out
clothes copied right from Main
Street, U. S. A.
This fashion turn-about began
a year ago and now is in full
swing.
Co-ordinated separates have
had a big boom summer-long.
Fashion magazines advise their
readers to co-ordinate blouse,
skirt and cardigan costumes in
one solid color.
In the dress lines, department
stores all summer have shown
racks full of printed barn-dance
style blouses and flounced skirts.
Sail cloth crossed the Atlantic,
as did the sporty top-stitch de
tailing o typical of California
styles, to appear as casual skirts
and tops.
Casuals Are New
Casual fashions, which are
classics in the United States, are
a real "new look" here, and are
creating a small revolution in
the French woman's way of
dressing.
The average Frenchwoman for
generations has gone to the
little - dressmaker - around - the
corner for summer and winter
clothes alike. But rising fabric
costs and dressmaker fees make
the custom order tradition hard

on her husband's pocketbook.
The Frenchwoman still has
her suits and cocktail dresses
made to order.
But like many American, she
now does her own housework,
so less expensive and inter.
changeable clothes are what she
seeks for daytime.
Paris Studies U. S.
Two of Paris' top department
stores last spring sent buyers
to the U.S.A. for the latest in
just about everything except
food.
The resulting exposition was
designed to stimulate French
manufacturers and show the pub
lic what is possible. One of the
stores said it sold out on every
thing from stiff petticoats to
electric clocks and children's
games. American-made dress
fabrics sold wildly.
As a result of a smaller ex
position last year, orlon fabrics
now can' be found in all forms
in this country.
Little boys' clothes' also are
another fertile field for Amer
ican styles. Blue jeans now are
considered chic by Sorbonne
students and six-year-olds alike.
This season, Davy Crockett and
Buffalo Bill are the heroes of
the small fry, and the costumes
are stitch for stitch copies of the
American ones.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
Pearl Walls
Marketed for
Home Owners
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) A man who
makes pearl buttons and pearl
handles for revolvers has dream
ed up a new do-it-yourself proj
ect for homeowners. Install your
own pearl-covered walls.
People usually laugh 'when he
tells them his idea, which doesn't
bother pearl promoter David
Kay in the least. He has a mother
of pearl panel tacked up behind
his kitchen sink at home, three
factories filled with Australian
oyster shells and unlimited con
fidence. Kay developed the process of
fastening oyster shells into
gleaming sheets several years
ago while he was trying to find
a product for shells too thin
to use for simple items like
shirt buttons. The result seem
ed destined at first only for
palaces or luxury hotel lobbies,
since the price was around 520,
000 for a single wall.
Instructions Offered
Now he figures he's found a
way to make pearly sheens on
walls at least as practical as
pearl handles on revolvers. He
will put out instructions, Kay
says, so a homeowner could
cover one wall of an average
sized room himself at a total'
cost of around $1,000.
"In these days that isn't so
impractical," Kay said. "A lot
of people are buying $30,000
houses now. They'll pay $1,000
for something different, if it
lasts a long time."
His wife decided to try the
kitchen sink panel because Kay
told her mother of pearl was
unharmed by splashing water
and easy to clean with a damp
cloth. It also can have nails
driven into it and is fireproof.
"We make place mats out of
it for the table too," Kay said.
"And it would make a nice sun
screen over a patio the sun
filters through it."
Lots of Experience
Kay, who keeps an extra set
of revolver handles in stock at
all times for Roy Rogers, is a
former motion picture camera
man who got the idea for prod
ucts of mother of pearl when
he went to Australia 20 years
ago for a film on pearl diving.
Women's jewelry was his first
venture into his new business.
He designed bracelets and neck
laces of mother of pearl. Then
he branched into pearly-covered
compacts, cigarette cases and
jewel boxes.
During World War II he con
fined himself to the pearl but
ton business when his supply
of Australian oyster shells was
shut off. Now he has 700 people
employed in three factories, and
covers everything from chande
liers to radio cabinets in mother
of pearl.
"I don't really want it to be
come a common household
item," he explained. "Then it
wouldn't have so much appeal."
Lima-ham pie makes a good casserole, especially when topped
with biscuits made with cream-style corn for the liquid. A good
dessert to go with, the casserole can be made by heating a can of
drained canned cling peach halves with a little honey and cinna
mon and baking for the last 10 minutes along with the lima
ham pie.
Use 1 cup dry limas, 2V6 cups water, 1 meaty ham hock or
1V4 cups ham pieces, salt, 3,i cup chopped onion, V4 cup chopped
celery, 2 tablespoons butter or drippings, 1V4 cups canned toma
toes, 1V4 cups cream-style corn, milk and 1 cup biscuit mix.
Rinse, limas, add 7h cups water and boil 2 minutes. Let soak
1 hour. Meanwhile, simmer ham 1 hour. Then add soaked limas
and boil gently about IVi hours or, until both are tender. Taste
and season with !j to 1 teaspoon salt, depending on ham. Saute
onion and celery in butter a few minutes. Stir in tomatoes. l'
cups corn, limas and 3i cup cooking liquid. Remove ham from
bone, cut into pieces and add to mixture. (You should have IVi
cups ham.) Heat to boiling and put into casserole. Stir remaining
'i cud corn and about 3 tablespoons milk into biscuit mix to make
soft dough. Dot by tqaspoonfuls on top of ham-lima mixture. Bake
in moderately hot oven (375 degrees F.) abbut 30 minutes, until
top is browned. Serves 6.
Woman Miller Runs
Century-Old Mill
Stillwell, Okla. (U.PJ Deep
in the Cookson Hills of eastern
Oklahoma, once a hideout of
notorious outlaws, a century-old
spring-fed grist mill produces
stone-ground corn meal.
Operator of the mill is Mrs.
Golda Unkefer, who believes
she is the only woman miller
in the nation. Her corporation,
Golda's Old fetone Milling com
pany is an all-female outfit.
Mrs. Unkefer got the idea for
the organization seven years
ago, and in April of 1950 she
bought the mill. It had been
operated in 1838 by a Cherokee
Indian, who ground corn hauled
by power over wooded trails by
other Indians.
The mill is named Bitting Mill
for Dr. Nicholas Bitting, who
served as counselor and doctor
for the Cherokees in Indian
Territory days.
Krs. Unkefer said it took
months of work, to restore the
mill. The old water wheel was
replaced by a 24-foot steel wheel
imported from France. The
wheel is powered by the water
from scenic Bitting Springs.
The mill now grinds an aver-
