Designers have turned for in spiration to the years of the bread lines for spring, 1957, clothes lines. One industry source explained there is a logical rea son why the 30s trend dominates in clothes which this week will be shown 300 reporters from the United States and Canada. Sponsor of the semi-annual shows, by 40 leading designers and manufacturers, is the Cou ture group of the New York Dress Institute. Eleanor Lambert, spokesman for the group, said the era when "prosperity is just around the corner" has much in common with the "peace in our time" sentiment today. Both were jit tery periods and clothes reflect a national state of mind. Let us get a case of nerves, and fashion becomes simpler. Clothes be come extravagant when there is no unrest. This spring, every way a wom an turns she will see the influ ence of such great designers of the 30s as Chanel, Mainbocher, and Molyneux. New suits, for in stance, are as casual and easy fitted as if Channel herself had turned them out. The leather-belted suit is back, with belt sometimes circling the skirt rather than the jacket. The silhouette in general has a sharper outline, through the unobtrusive squaring of shoulders, necklines and yokes. Coats usually button, rather than wrap and the waistline re turns to normal, replacing 1956's high-riding empire. Skirts for daytime are an inch or so longer than last spring. and the Couture group said the "demi-length," or near the ankles, is the top trend for eve ning. Roosevelt PTA To Hear Speaker Roosevelt Parent-Teacher as sociation will hold its monthly meeting Thursday, January 10, at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium. Dr. Marry Danielson will be the guest speaker for the eve ning. The topic, "Parents role in helping children ages 6 to 12," is to be followed by a question and answer period.

Wednesday Club Hears Review of Captain's Story Mrs. R. T. Nichol reviewed the story "Captain of the Queens," from a Reader's Digest book, a condensation of "The Autobiography of Captain Harry Grattidge," as told to Richard Collier, at the last meeting of the Wednesday Study club. The author relates the experi ences of a lad choosing the sea as a profession. Signing with the four-masted bark Osborne when 14 years of age, he endur ed the lonesomeness, tyranny of superiors, long voyages, violent storms, even mutiny, the trag edy and danger of both World Wars, culminating in the proud est position in the British Mer chant Marine, Captain of the Queen Mary. Captain Grattidge was later promoted to commodore of the Cunard line and captain of the great ship Queen Elizabeth. He retired after fifty years of serv ice, knowing the incomparable satisfaction that the sea returns to those who serve it zestfully. Mrs. M. M. Morris gave a short talk with dolls as the subject. She spoke of the primitive peo ples of Africa, Cuba, India and other foreign countries, who use dollas as tokens of safety and good luck, or for evil purposes. Dolls are also used for ceremo nial and religious reasons even in this country. Mrs. Morris also mentioned the famous collection of Queen Victoria, many of the dolls being in museums.
