TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, January 14, 1958 Kids Vote For Spinach, Hamburgers, Basketball By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York IP The popu lar idea that kids hate spin ach proves to be just so much . . . well, spinach. They rate it number two on their list of favorite vege tables, topped only by potato chips, of all things. The news that spinach, the weed that Popeye made fa mous, turns out a childhood favorite comes from a nation al child preference study made by the American Hob by federation. The federation as founded in 1936 to en courage both children and adults to develop hobbies. How did food preferences get Jnto a hobby study? "Variety of Questions , "Well," said J. E. Lane, the federation director, "we've found we get more truth from he children if we ask them a variety of questions instead "of confining them to one sub ject." The federation also found that children prefer hambur ger to any other meat it didn't go into the question of with or without onions; that hot aogs hardly rate at alt; "and that appls pie is tops for dessert, ireezing out ice 'cream, king for the last 20 years. Stamp collecting rated the number one hobby of the ichildren, all In the eight to 15 age group. Doll collecting came next, with tags and la-1 "bels third. Next in order of "preference were model mak- 1 n g, autograph collecting, handicraft, painting, photog raphy, match box cover and postcard collecting. "Parents usually under write the stamp and doll col lecting hobbies," said Lane. -"""But the tags and label hob by the children started them selves, and they do all sorts of swapping and finagling to get what they want. Labels come' off everything from re frigerators to girdles. The federation conducted Its annual study among 3,180 hobby and recreation clubs with a membership of more . than 75,000 children in pub lic and private schools and community centers. Choose Sports It also covered interest In . participation sports. Girls I chose basketball and tennis - as their favorite sports; the boys picked basketball and -.football. Baseball fell to fifth place with the boys, "a big surprise," said Lane. After potato chips and spin -ach, the children listed string beans, tomatoes, potatoes, ; beets, carrots, asparagus, cel- ;ery and lettuce as their vege table favorites. Other meat Hikes were chicken, lamb stew, pot roast, frankfurters, I roast beef, ham, turkey, pork - and steak in that order. 2 "Children prefer the foods they're familiar with,", said ;Lane. "And they get a lot of ; spinach at home, at camp and on in the school lunch program Spinach, string beans and to matoes always are high the list." The questionnaires didrv ask the small fry to tell why their preferences- But some volunteered. One small boy explained he liked apple pie "because we have an apple tree in our backyard." And a small girl showed all the wisdom of a budget- conscious homemaker as sh voted for hamburger. "There are six children our house," she said.

The "relaxed look" fea tured in most feminine fash ions for spring and summer does not carry over to beach wear. Nothing tranquil about bathing suits Tina Leser dis played to reporters, who Sat urday completed their week- long coverage of fashion shows staged semi-annually by the couture group of the New York Dress Institute. All week long, we saw day time and even the evening fashions deemphasize the body's shape as the chemise took over. I heard it de scribed so often as the "re laxed" silhouette I went to sleep. Miss Leser, cne of two beachwear designers in the Institute shows, featured one piece, strapless bathing suits tight as a second skin. Mate rials to help show off curves included elasticized silks, cottons deftly handled, and striped lastex and wool com binations. She marked most of her suits at the back with a "sun burn spot" an opening the size of a silver dollar at the center back, with shirring all around. Beach or at-home pajamas in bright floral prints also hugged the figure. She de fined the waistline in every sports garment from shorts to sun dresses. The designer's skill at mak ing sportswear versatile showed in several costumes. There were gathered, full length skirts, which tied over bathing suits to turn them into informal dinner dresses. The skirts, either in print to match or blend with the bath ing suit, were waterproofed She also showed sheath-like cocktail dresses with apron overskirts which could be tied on either front or back. One two-way costume consist ed of a sheath in cotton print, worn alone, or topped with a redingote - like, full - skirted overdress of chiffon in the same print. Some highlights of other collections shown Friday: Jane Derby This design er's chemises defined the waistline, but not sharply. She also showed many day time and afternoon dresses with baby-dress touches bows and ribbons which she first used in 1947. Miss Derby likes the look of layers of fabric-plain or ganza over printed silk surah, for instance. Most talked about formal gown in the collection boast ed a bell-shaped skirt, ending in trellis instead of train. The whole sweep of fabric drag ging the floor was solidly cov ered with roses. Mrs. Ruih Iverson Heads Wenonah Club Mrs. Ruth Iverson, new president of Wenonah club, presided for her first meeting January 9. The session was held at Redman hall.
