Designers Deal
In Fractions
For Fall Wear
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York W Designers
give us women plenty of frac
tions for fall calculation.
They talk in terms of half
belts and coats either three
quarter or seven-eights length.
Half-belts show through our
suit collections, although there
are just as many fully belted,
or anbelted and fitted loosely at
the waistline.
The number of three-quarter
and seventh-eighths length coats
equals the number of full length
ones in collections being shown
this week to visiting fashion re
porters. The shows are held semi
annually by the couture group
of the New York Dress Institute.
Balloon-Like Shape
Coat silhouettes ran the ga
mut from the slim and wrapped
to those of luxurious fullness.
Monte Sano and Pruzan intro
(Qlced a balloon-like shape coat
cut straight as a pin in front
but with the back puffing out
like a blister, but hauled in
again at the hemline or waist
line. Most suits and many coats
feature the bracelet sleeve, loose
fitting and ending just a few
inches short of the wrist. Shoul
ders follow the natural curve of
the body. Collars usually are
flat and constructed to stand
away from the neck.
fur trims everything from
evening dresses to coats. Origin
als teamed black lynx, beaver,
mink or lamoire, a south African
lamb, with tweeds and fleeces
in a handsome daytime group.
Monte Sano and Pruzan lined
a cotton gabardine raincoat with
ocelot and priced it at $950.
Daring Bare Ringleader
Ceil Chapman is a ringleader
in the daring baring for evening
wear. One of her boldest neck
lines shows the bodice opened to
the waist, but laced like a corse
let with thin satin cords drawn
through rhinestone eyelets.
She doesn't even bother to
lace other necklines with a v
plunge to waist. These, she calls
the Venus dresses.
Her Cleo silhouette makes the
beholder wonder what next. A
seemingly demure bodice has
triangular cutouts under each
arm to expose most of the rib
section.
Another Chapman design is
the Etruscan silhouetet, which
she said "is one of the earliest1
glamor girl fashions, predating
Grecian costumes." The Etrus
can is a horizontal draping of
Irabric around the hips, to give
a girdle-like cling.

Seasoning Used
To Excess Here
New York itfi One authority
says the nation's cooks have gone
overboard in the use of season
ings. Especially in the use of
garlic.
Norwood Weaver, a spice and
herb specialist, said that moder
ation is the first rule of success
ful cooking with herbs.
"U n d e r - season rather than
over-season," he said. "If a spice
can be recognized, it is not well-
blended and well-used."
"Garlic especially is used with
too heavy a hand," said Weaver,
head of John Wagner and Sons.
Used sparingly though, it adds
new flavor to lamb, beef and
salads. Weaver said garlic powd
er sales alone jumped 400 per
cent from 1950 to 1954.
(The American Spice Trade
Association said total annual
comsumption of garlic now aver
ages about 38,000,000 pounds.
It quoted producers' estimates
that about seven per cent of the
total domestic and imported
garlic is used dehydrated, either
as nowdcr or turned into garlic
salt.)
Weaver said another common
cooking fault is in using the
wrong seasoning. For instance,
basil is a delightful companion
to tomatoes. But sage, delicious
with pork or such vegetables as
cabbage and brussels sprouts,
would overpower the delicate
tomato.
Weaver said the art of season
ing can be as personal as a sign
ature. Only by careful testing
and experimenting can a cook
learn which spices to add at the
beginning of a dish, which at the
intermediate and which the min
ute before serving.
"But it's worth all the trou
ble," Weaver said.

JPoipominri
Philadelphia, July 6 "The Past is Prologue" was the theme
of National Education Association'! final meeting last night and
the last organ note had 'scarcely died away before delegates
rushed for the doors, attendants began taking the decorations
down and gathering up the sound equipment,, which included
miles of electric cord and cable.
Portland's Martha Shull, who was the 1957 president of NEA
an educator's group now almost 750,000 strong, wept a little as
she said the final words. Miss Shull, whose beauty and charm
bring constant comment, is popular with both teachers and press,
we found.
Last night Oregon paid her tribute in the final meeting. Gladys
Beldon, Albany teacher who heads Oregon Education association's
Department of Classroom Teachers, presented her a gift. Maxine
Smith and Potpourri struggled a huge bouquet of red roses down
to the hall by taxi and Maxine finding no place on the rostrum
for this bit of Oregon atmosphere, finally put them on the floor
near the twin pianos, arranged for a duo-piano number. When the
music was over an attendant pressed a button and the pianos
with the roses, sank almost out of sight as that section of the
mechanized stage jvas lowered
Among gifts presented the new NEA president, Lyman Ginger
of Kentucky university was a handsome red and black plaid
Pendleton blanket. Ewald Turner, Pendleton teacher who is the
new national vice-president of the Department of Classroom Tea
chers, made the presentation, taking care to put in a quick plug
for Pendleton's Round-Up. - -
Flags of the 48 states were massed at the back of the huge
stage and each state delegation then received its- flag as a gift and
earlier the flags, gifts of the Pennsylvania Teachers' Education
association were displayed in the lobby of the Benjamin Franklin
hotel, convention headquarters This was a nice gesture, but Ore
gon delegates wished the njme of their state had been spelled
correctly.
The thousands of educators listening to Dr. William G. Carr,
executive secretary of NEA applauded often last night. They ap
plauded when he said "the general public has no notion of the
present-day working conditions in the schools, or how it lowers
the standards of education."
They especially applauded his comments on merit rating. He
said "we teachers want excellence rewarded, but first we want
excellence in the teaching profession for every child. We should
begin at the beginning, and assure excellent teachers for every
child by having salaries which would attract and hold excellence.
Then only will merit ratin? make sense. We can't compromise
on goals with slightly higher 'standards for a few at the cost of
standards for the many."
Earlier in the day the general assembly had voted to work to
wards the goal of minimum salaries of $5,000 a year and a maxi
mum of $11,500 within 10 years of experience. It is believed fig
ures like these would attract and hold better quality teachers and
help stem the flow of teachers from the profession into industry.
On this point Dr. Carr had said "If we had the resources to
do what we already know how to do, we could rid ourselves of
bargain basement education.
r
Jackson county delegates like all others not leaving at
once, were promising each other to sleep late Saturday. Conven
tions leave no time for rest In addition to attending business ses
sions, workshops and circles, both Elsie Turner and Maxine Smith
served on committees, the former on the elections committee and
the latter on the audit committee. Yesterday morning Maxine rose
early because she was initiated into Kappa Kappa Iota sorority
for women teachers with most of the chapters m the south.
Each state maintains a room with exhibits, gifts and literature.
Gifts are sometimes lavish. Colorado gave away hundreds of big
red carnations, Pennsylvania's gift was key rings, the Hawaiians
gave away paper leis to delegates and orchid leis for dignitaries.
One Hawaiian girl said these ,latter were made from orchid hearts
400 to a lei. Pretty Hawaiian women would hurry on stage,
give a newly honored delegate a lei and when it was properly
arranged around the shoulders, kiss the recipient on both cheeks,
a custom which the men enjoyed enormously.
Members of the large Puerto Rican delegation gave away thou
sands of silk scarves made in that country's industrial schools.
They bore the Puerto Rican seal and the NEA Centennial emblem.
It's a gpod thing Potpourri is conditioned to noise, or big cities
would drive us crazy. Philadelphia streets are paved with uneven
bricks and cobblestones on which tires make a peculiar sound.
Sounds here are both old and new - the early morning noise today
includes that from an enormous air-driven jack-hammer busily
eating away at the bricks and concrete of an old building, and
the clip-clop of horses hooves.
Yesterday while waiting for a sight seeing bus to take a group
to Valley Forge, a small rickety wagon went by. It was loaded with
watermelons and two little Negro boys rode happily on top. Not
only are there quite a few horse-drawn vehicles right down town,
but the bus driver pointed out a Curtis Publishing company truck,
an ancient vehicles with solid tires an electric truck! The bus
driver said Curtis has a fleet of these old electric trucks the
battery run vehicles can be operated at a cost of 45 cents per
day.
Today Teacher Maxine and Potpourri move on to New York.
We hope New York will afford more than 5 hours sleep a night,
and a less hectia routine. We've been living on black coffee, head
ache tablets and peace pills and the skirt belt of our old dacron
suit lapped over an inch this morning.
Because the hotel wants $2.50 a day to rent a typewriter, and
the convention press room has closed, this column is being written
by hand. Probably Potpourri's "stand-in" will hate us by the time
she is through copying.

Teachers7 Wives
Need to Play
Various Roles
BY LOUIS CASSELS
Washington an The wife of
a high school principal must be
a model mother, a tireless host
ess, a hard worker in community
projects, a thrifty homemaker
and a social secretary.
She also has to listen to her
husband's speeches twice once
when he rehearses them at home
and again when he delivers them
in public.
This job " description was
sketched by five wives of high
school principals who particip
ated in a special panel discus
sion at the recent convention of
the National Association of Sec
ondary School Principals. The
subject was: "What is the role
of the wife of the principal in
the school community?"
"Our first duty," said Mrs.
Andy Tolson, Tucson, Ariz., "is !
'to be helpmates to our husbands.
I am his social secretary, I see j
that he makes all evening ap-1
pointments. Occasionally I type j
letters or reports at home. I j
also attempt the role of 'patient j
listener' for explosive happen- j
ines.
Mrs. Neal M. Wherry, Law
rence, Kan., said some principals'
wives take lobs to supplement
family income, but "instead of
going out and earning money, I
stay at home and save it by do
ing my own house c 1 e aning,
laundry and yard work."
"Being at home," she added,
"gives me time to listen to my
husband's speeches as he is pre
paring them. Sometimes I can
give him ideas . . . but mostly I
just listen."
If the principal has children
said Mrs. Hugh S. Bonar, Joliet,
111., his wife's biggest 'respon
sibility is keeping them "healthy
courteous and honest." She
knows that their children must
set an example of her husband
will be exposed to sharp sug
gestions that he "start on his
own" children before advising
parents how to cope with be
havior problems in students.
Mds. Barnhardt L. Bergstrom.
El Monte, Calif., warned that
"an overpowering drive for re
cognition" on the part of a prin
cipal's wife "can be dangerous."
"Although she is expected to
take an active part in Red Cross,
Community Chest, Girl Scouts
or other communty projects, she
should "refuse to compete with
others for offices.
"The hardest job a wife of a
principal has is maintaining her
own individuality," said Mrs.
Nicholas Schreiber, Ann Arbor,
"I never felt so much like
the little woman who wasn't
there as I did the day the tele
phone rang and a voice asked:
'Are you the principal of the
high school's wife?' "
