TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Black Leads Color Parade In Paris Winter Collections Paris It's "black and white and color all over" in Paris for winter. Numerically speaking black leads the color parade, with an exciting range of vivid blues running a close second. Black and white tweeds are j everywhere. Dior and Patou en dorsed a "navy green" bitter yellowed greens scored frequent ly elsewhere. Reds are geranium tones. Only Guy Laroche pre-! sents a controlled color scheme magnificent range of amber tones from palest honey to deepest orange. Additional things to note: Westchester1 county look at Dior,' hats and often handbags made of dress er coat or suit fabric; tone-on-tone is the order of the day in accessorizing here. Bows are in abundance through out Paris, and long multi-strand necklaces, some with tear drop pendants hanging from them. Day and late da jumpers in tweed flannel or velvet, worn over jersey or satin blouses at Guy Laroche; also cowl drapes repeated like so many double chins. Long haired furs are used in abundance for collars, coat lin ings, giant muffs and at Lan vin, Castillo used opossum for a cloche which their press officer christened "D a - i d Crockett'. Balmain handled broadtail like fabric for a tailored suit and also used white ermine to fash ion the most elegant evening skirt in Paris. Hats are pretty well covered up and run the gamut from hoods of felt shaped into Phry gian caps by Svend. Turbans are shown at Balmain, stovepipes at Desses . . . shallow crowned sai- Jors at Dior, antelope berets at Paroche, "Fuzzi-Wuzzi" hats at Lanvin which hug the head like a wig, look for all the world like a hedgehog made of nylon tulle. Ensembles seem stronger than ever; this season they are gen eraly in three pieces for day time (dress and jacket and coat or two-piece dress with a longer jacket). Most evening gowns have their own "go with" wraps.

Mrs. Carson stated that the love and appreciation of gardens dates back as far as the Garden of Eden, and that there are many biblical refer ences to flowers indicating that their culture and beauty were appreciated from earliest times. In Europe there are many gardens that have been in con stant cultivation for four or five hundred years and are wonder ful examples of garden design that are used as models today, the speaker said. In this country, George Wash ington's garden dating back to the latter part of the 18th cen tury is patterned after the old English gardens, and depends upon design rather than color for its interest. The Garden Study club of Massachusetts, and The Ladies Garden club of Athens, Ga., claim to be the oldest garden clubs in America, being organ ized in 1892, Mrs. Carson re ported. Interest has spread across the whole United States with members numbering in the hundreds of thousands. She concluded with "The gar den clubs have it in their power to illuminate and transform the dark and dreary places of this ,world. Our opportunity is three- foldfirst, to defend and cher ish the beauty which is already here: second, to promote the beauty developed by art and patient workmanship; and third, to extend to all underprivileged people the enjoyment of both these kinds of beauty. Mrs. N. B. Stoddard talked on the conservation of a natural resources timber. Timber is the most valuable crop which can be grown in Oregon and Washington," Mrs. Stoddard said.' Adequate forest fire pro tection and good logging meth ods, where sufficient seed trees are saved, generally result in fine stands of reproduction, the speaker added. Western Wash ington is now largely a pro ducer of this second growth. While Oregon ranks high in the production of "old growth" tim ber, second growth timber pro vides the margin of safety for the northern Coast Range, Wil lamette "Valley and the lower Columbia river region, Mrs. Stoddard added. Important strides have been made in fire prevention, she said. The fire prevention effort has been spearheaded by the "Keep Green" campaign in both states. Mrs. Stoddard read the song "Smokey the Bear," by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, which has endeared "Smokey" to the hearts of all the children of our land. The club held a garden tour, starting at the home of the host ess, Mrs. Clay Conley, and her close neighbor Mrs. Edmondson and followed by a visit to seed ling trees planted by- the For estry club and to gardens of Mrs-. William Edmondson, Mrs. N. B. Stoddard and Mrs. Elga Abbott. At the last home refresh ments were served on the patio by the hostess Mrs. Clay Conley and co-hostess Mrs. Abbott. The club opened its session with devotions by Mrs. Howard Simmonds. Prospect Family Entertains Guests Prospect Mr. and Mrs. El- wood Greear, their daughter, Billie Jo, and sons, Dick and Mike, of Bates, Ore.,, were re cent guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Doe of Pros pect. -While here they attended the wedding of Miss Jo Ann Doe and Guy Parker; Billie Jo was one of the bridesmaids. They also spent a few davs vacation ing at Diamond lake. 1 i m MTHY MARLOWE 1 J': j -THE PWAMA W f CAME" Wine' BfO. J?

Women Nag Food Industry About Labels on By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York HP) Woman's in satiable curiosity leads her to read the recipes on food pack ages. But it doesn't always tease her into trying them. Matter of fact, It sometimes just set her to nagging the food industry. One of the more persistent complaints is against the manu facturer's estimate of the num ber of servings in the package, compared with a family's con sumption. 4 "Dr. Birdseye, bless him, .he must have had a bird's appetite," said one woman. She was one of 318 housewives involved in a recipe study, results of which were released today, and was referring to the man who pio neered the frozen foods indus try. His name still is the label on products from one major packager. Interesting Comments Said another cook, whose hus band is a truck dispatcher: "My fellow, when he passes his plate and I tell him there is no more, he says, 'What are we operating, a tea room or something?' " The New York industrial de sign firm of Nesbitt associates did the study to determine how cooking instructions on pack ages rate with the housewife. It talked with women, 21 to 55 years of age, in three subur ban New York areas. One third of the women not only did all their housework but also held either full or part-time jobs. Saul Nesbitt, director of the firm, said because many house wives distrust manufacturers' count on servings, they just buy double and I doubt if the man ufacturers complain about this. But the women generally like the idea of recipes on packages. Most of them read them only 46 of the 318 said they rarely noticed the cooking tips. "Reading macaroni packages is the only way I've learned how 'Princess' Lines Sew-easy jumper in a lovely "princess" silhouette; flattery as- sured for every figure!

Some Save Recipes One third of the women said they save the recipes for their own cooking notebooks. Sixty nine didn't trust the manufac turers' test kitchens they use their own ideas. Some 50 per cent complained they wished the recipes appear ed in larger or at least more leg ible print. Chilliest reaction concerned frozen food packaging. More than half the women said the amount of water suggested was not sufficient. a "I burn more frozen vege tables than anything else," said three score of the 318. They also protested to the way the recipes were carried on frozen packages. "The recipes are mutilated and impossible to read by the time you've taken off the outer wrapper," said one woman. Nesbitt believes the 318 wo men represented a pretty good "pilot study." But he said he d happily listen to all further com plaints. So let's go, ladies. Business Women Visit Crater Lake For the August meeting, Med ford Business and Professional Women's club made a trip to Crater Lake National park Sun day, August 25. Husbands and prospective members were guests on the trip. The group lunched at the lake and then visited points of interest.

Mrs. Guetzlaff represent ed the Oregon district, of which she is second vice-president; she is also president of St. Andrew's zone and president of St. Peter's Lutheran guild, Medford. Before returning home Mrs. Guetzlaff visited relatives and friends in Little Rock, Ark., in Iowa cities, and also made stops in Tucson, Ariz., and Los An geies. Yesterday Mrs. Guetzlaff left for Portland to attend a session of the Oregon district. Mrs. Guetzlaff reported that a Bible institute, a training cen ter and two chapels in Nigeria, Africa, were among the projects adopted by the Lutheran Wom en's Missionary league during the national convention, attend ed by more than 3,000 women. Mrs. Arthur Preisinger, Lake Forest, HI., was re-elected presi dent. Dr. John W. Behnken, presi dent of the Lutheran Church Missouri synod, reported on his recent tour of the church's Asi atic missions and stated that a new mission will be opened in Korea this fall. The Rev. James Mayer, thanking the league for a grant of $75,000 toward a new I wing on the church's hospital in Ambur, India, called attention to the dire s need and the lack of medical services in India. Referring to India policy in closing the door to any addition al American missionaries, the Rev. Mr. Mayer called it "a blessing in disguise, which ac celerated the transition from a colonial type mission to a .na tional church." He declared that "Indian missions are no longer 'foreign missions' but 'home missions' done by the Indians themselves." Other projects adopted by the convention include a school for missionary children in New Guinea and a girls' dormitory in Selma, Alabama. The next convention will be held in Toronto, Canada, in 1959. , - Grange Notes The Shady Cove Grange will have its yearly potluck picnic supper Aug. 28, starting at 6:30 p.m. in the T. M.
