IABUWM.NEWJERSIT 10 W STORES MAIL TRIBUNE Famous French Designer Takes "Backward Look By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York 'IF C h r i s t i a n Dior came out today with a new look the backward look. The French designer put away scissors, temporarily, and picked up pen to write his autobio graphy "Christian Dior and I" E. P. Dutton company. He traced the growth of his dressmaking establishment in Paris from 1947, when his "new look" set off an international style revolution, to the present with his name a household word, his label on everything from furs to shoes and perfumes. The book also gives plenty of insight into Dior, the man a shy, often superstitious, and amazingly modest person equipped with a good sense of humorv Dior said that as designer he had been dubbed "madman, criminal, megalomaniac, genius, grand vizier, emperor . . ." But "my real hobby," he said, "is architecture. It has fascinated me ever since I was a child. Prevented . . . from gratifying this passion, I found outlet for it in dress design." Dior disclosed that it was a fortune teller who in 1919 pre dicted his future. "You will suf fer poverty," she said. "But women are lucky for you . . . You will make a great deal of money out of them and you will travel widely." Fortune tellers also advised him to link up after World War II with Marcel Bous sac, the French textile magnate. An Inspiration "As a result of wartime uni forms, women looked and dressed like Amazons," Dior ex plained. He said he designed for "flower-like women," clothes with "rounded shoulders, full busts, willowy waists above enormous spreading skirts . . ." "The style that was hailed as new and original was nothing but the sincere and natural ex pression of a fashion I had al ways sought to achieve," he said. Dior's 1946-47 changes made him famous immediately, and brought him to this country to receive fashion acclaim. But in Chicago, he recalled, housewives picketed him, shouting "Down with the new look . . . burn Monsieur Dior ... Christian Dior, go home." The "H" silhouette a -few years later caused just as much a furor. It was immediately named "the flat look," the de signer recalled, "but it had never been my intention to create a flatness which would bring to mind a string bean." One irate male, a farmer in Idaho, wrote: "With your so-called genius, you have succeeded in disfigur ing my wife. What would, you say if I sent her to you!" Style Wears Out Dior said the most successful fashion "wears itself out the quickest because it is overly im itated. Obviously, uniforms have the longest life." The designer confessed he al ways tries for a catchy term for each collection because "one must cater to the modern taste for a slogan." "In the spring of 1955," he said, "I picked on the fullness of the skirts of certain models and isolated the letter 'A' . . . I arrive at the name ... by thinking in terms of the most conspicuous, eccentric silhou ette . . ." Dior makes a few observations about his clients, except to tell of one customer "disloyal" to Family Leaving Soon for Guam Ashland Mr. and Mrs. Mi chael Brown and children, Mi chele and Michael, are guests of Mrs. Brown's mother, Mrs. Mary Johnson, 1023 East Main street, Ashland.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Bureau of Land Management is momentar ily awaiting word of expected cutbacks in the amount of money it can spend for tim b e r manage ment and ac cess road de velopment on the O&C lands of western Oregon.

Big gest item in this cut was $1,000, 000 taken from its road building program. Many other government agen cies are up in the air about how much they can spend on western resource development programs because of an order from the Budget Bureau intended to hold down government spending. Purpose of the spending limi tation is an effort by the Eisen hower administration to avert a fiscal crisis concerning the na- YMCA Seeks Volunteers Gordon Williams, YMCA phy sical director, reported today that women volunteers are needed for the department.

A. jSeWOTTOJVl BAKER" See ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION TONIGHT KBES-TV following: "The Playhouse'' 9:30 P.M. 1 tional debt. The president's fiscal advisors have warned him that it is necessary to curb spending to prevent the government from shooting up through the national debt ceiling of $275 billion. Wants To Avoid Increase Only Congress can authorize an increase in the debt ceiling, and the lawmakers won't be in session again until January. The administration wants to avoid having to ask for an increase in the debt limit. In recent weeks, the debt has been precariously close to the ceiling. It now stands at about $272.5 billion, but it shifts up and down daily with Treasury balance sheets on gov ernment securities, taxes and ex penditures. How big the cutbacks may be is still guesswork. Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton said he doesn't expect the new spending allowances will impede any pro grams, but he still doesn't know how much his department can spend. Abcrve Last Year For its program of recreation area improvements called "Op eration Outdoors," the Forest Service had planned to spend $11.5 million this year. But Con gress, in the Capitol Hill econo my wave, trimmed this to S8.7 million. This was still well above last year when they got only $3 million. The Budget Bureau has now trimmed their apportion ment to $8 million, for a $700, 000 cutback. Northwestern members o f Congress are critical of the fact that in the trimming operation now underway, funds for timber access roads are being reduced. Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger, in a joint letter, have jumped on this by arguing that this will in turn reduce gov ernment receipts from timber sales and not result in govern ment economy.

She lied about her age and she dyes her hair! Gertrude N. Is it a crime to look young? George N. How far can a woman go in deceiving a man? I am a widower of 65. A year ago I married a widow,' who claimed to be 45. Now I learn that she has a son of nearly 40. She was no child bride, either. This woman dyes her hair and spends hours every week in the beauty parlor doing it. She spends more on her hair than I do for all my clothes each year. Of course, she never told me before she was married that she dyes her hair. All this is so different from my first wife, who was the soul of honor. Instead of spending all those hours in the beauty parlor, her only interest was in making me and the children happy. She is gone 15 years now and I miss her more' every day. She could show my present wife a thing or two. Gertrude N. I never lied to him! I never told my age and he didn't ask me. How should Cave Junction Council To Consider Members Cave Junction Nominations to fill at least one of the two present or pending vacancies on the Cave Junction city council will be made Monday at a spe cial meeting. James Holten, who is moving to Selma, indicated this week that he would remain on the council until mid-October when he and his family will move. With Holten's resignation not official for several weeks, re maining councilmen have been given a short breather in which to find others qualified for the two jobs. One vacancy at least must be filled before the coun cil drops to two members. Other wise a special election will be j required, as two councilmen do not constitute a. quorum a n d therefore cannot elect officers. nominate or Pocahontas Lodge To Meet Friday Pocahontas lodge will meet al 8 p.m. Friday, September 27, in Redman hall on Apple street.

Trademark PIE PLATE Iowa Football Team Hard Hit by Flu; Arizona Situation Serious By UNITED PRESS Flu may be the toughest op ponent some of the nation's col legiate football teams face all season. At least 15 University of Iowa gridders were sidelined today in one of the latest outbreaks of the disease. They were among about 200 Iowa students report ed stricken in the past three days. . Coach Forest Evashevski said third string end Jerry Jenkin son was the only player con fined to the infirmary but the others, including All-American tackle candidate Alex Karras, were out of action. Arizona Player Sick He said there had been no dis cussion of canceling the open ing game of the 1957 season Saturday against Utah State. Arizona State Coach Max Spilsbury, at Flagstaff, said about a dozen of his players were out with the flu. t He said the situation was "ser ious but not critical" and the school was going ahead with plans to play Redlands Univer sity of California Saturday. Neither outbreak has been definitely shown to be the Asian strain of the disease. Doctors at Iowa City said pre liminary tests on the virus there indicated it was not Asian flu. They said the football players all had been inoculated for the disease. Meanwhile, in Tallahassee, Fla., health officers said flu was sweeping the campuses of two state universities and reported more than 5,000 "mild cases." They said there were no pres ent plans to close public facil ities since such action had not been shown to be of help in flu epidemics. Smear tests are under way to determine the exact variety of the outbreak Toledo Situation 'Explosive' In Ohio, state Health Director Dr. Ralph E. Dwork termed a I know he thought I was 45? Is it a crime to look young? Why I would I tell him my son's age? What business is it of his? I'm exactly 58 young enough for mm, l nope. He is so stupid he doesn't real ize that all women dye their hair these days. His first wife was probably doing it for years without his knowing about it. So who is the deceiver anyway? Certainly not me! I'm honest and outspoken about everything. As long as comparisons are being made, I might mention that my first husband never said a harsh word to me in my life. This one cuts like a knife every time he opens his mouth. We're ready to call it quits. The Council: Let's look at it this way, George. For some 50 years of your life women devoted themselves to making you happy. First, your mother, then your deceased wife. You've been lucky, but also unlucky. You've never had the experience of trying to make someone else happy. You have been deprived of one of the most wonderful experiences in life. You are now 65 and you are suddenly presented with the chance to taste this new and rare pleasure. It nearly escaped you entirely. Will you try it or do you prefer to be alone and think about how happy your first wife would make you if she were with you?

About 50 per cent of the pupils in three Toledo area schools were reported suffering from a res piratory illness believd to be Asian flu.

They said applicants need not worry about "being left out in the cold about homesites." If there are more applicants than homesites a public drawing will be held. The BLM has not worked out details of the sites yet. Before drawings can be held, complete details and a survey must be made. Applications will not be received until details are worked out, officials in the Medford office said. Summer Home Sites The summer home sites are tentatively scheduled to be built on the south and east sides of the reservoir. The BLM has set aside two areas of the west side, one on the east and one island as public usage areas. A portion of the southwest side of the reservoir is scheduled to be de veloped for organizations.

It is the fourth $10,000 re search grant received by OSC for an extensive study of Ore gon's ocean geography. Dr. Wayne V. Burt is in charge. The new study will provide information on rate of removal of pollutants that drain into the rivers and then into the sea along Oregon's coast.

However, a possible new weapon to stem the spread of the disease, which invaded the United States about three months ago after sweeping the Orient, was announced today in New York.

The planned recreational area will be about one hour's drive from Medford. Rural Fire District Plans Bond Election. Cave Junction A bond issue that won't raise taxes a penny is being planned by the board of directors for the Illinois Valley Rural Fire Protection district. Legal work has been turned over to Laurence Cushing, Cave Junc tion attorney. In order to have adequate housing for the Selma, O'Brien and Cave Junction trucks and pumpers, and to add at least one more piece of equipment to the district, voters will be asked to consider a bond issue.
