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.

New York W Hang on
to the miltowns, men.
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.
