TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Housewives Give Advice l By GAY PAULEY UniUd Press Women' Editor New York a? The ; opinions of five women on fashion"s ills and blessings will help shape what a lot 0 : us females will wear in the months ahead. ; The five made up a panel ; of '"typical" middle-income : suburban housewives, invited ; by the Celanese Corporation " to speak their minds on what's - right and wrong in everything ; from housecoats to evening ; clothes. - Celanese, which makes fabrics, decided it was time ; some research was done on ; the clothing desires of su Z burban women, whose num Z bers are increasing by hun- dreds of thousands yearly. It pointed out that 83 per cent ' of the population growth In ; the last 16 years has been in r suburbia, and that the aver Z age family income of this Z group is 70 per cent above the t rest of the nation. - Panel members, all mothers ; of young children and all ac- ; tive in civic and social com- t munity life, were Mrs. Fred- Z erick H. Beals. of Mamaro- : neck, N.Y.: Mrs. Paul Cox, 2 Osford, Md.; Mrs. Robert ; Lindsay of Syosset, L.I.; Mrs. ; Richard Warren, of Plain- Z field, N.J., and Mrs. Thomas ; Wilcox, of New Canaan, Z Conn. ; Also participating were de- Z signers of separates, dresses, Z lounge wear, housecoats, suits, - raincoats and evening wear. - Celanese said similar panels - would be held in Dallas and Z Los Angeles. " The women were all for style changes "so long as they X are flattering." Mrs. Wilcox, mother of three boys, strong ; ly defended the controversial ; chemise. "I think it's great," Z she said. "I will go along with Z anything that is faddy and Z 'jazzy, as long as it doesn't " cost too much." 5 All the women protested that housecoats usually are Z "too bed-roomy to wear in the ; kitchen," that their droopy : sleeves often get mixed up r with the breakfast ham and - eggs. "I'm fed up with cabbage ; roses and sprTgs," said Mrs. - Lindsay, who described he'r " self as a housewife "with one husband, two cars, three chil- - dren and four dogs." Pleads For Pleats Most of the panel called for pleated skirts, in preference to straight ones. Pleating "- makes easier "jumping in and : out. of the car, and running - up and down stairs doing : housework." They asked for longer shirt- 1 tails on blouses, and for blouse ' collars which don't ride up r about a suit collar. - They called on manufac t turers to give women more " fabrics "which won't show 2 dog hairs"; for more variety ' in daytime dresses "it is all - separates or cocktail clothes"; :-and for more "exciting" tops to wear with dressy trousers ; or skirts when entertaining at ; home. : In actual work clothes, the Z women said the trend in su The Latest Hair Styles All Nationally Known COLD WAVES HAIRCUTS . from only $1.00 PERMANENTS $5.95 up CRATERIAN Beauty Salon 41 S.

One panelist. Mrs. Warren, mother of two small sons, suggested designers revive the once-popular three-piece playsuit, with a skirt to go over shorts and shirt. "Something you can put over the shorts quickly when you want to answer the door bell or greet the minister or whoever is coming to call," she said. "You mean you don't greet the minister in Bermuda shorts?" said the moderator. "Well," said Mrs. Warren, "I have met him in my bare feet sometimes and it is most embarrassing."

Taylor Write down the names of folks who say that Christ was only a good man and an example for us to copy. They deny that Christ was God Almighty and that He came here to this world to die for our sins. All about town you see these model citizens, active in every good work. But they scoff at the thought that Christ came to die for their sins. Keep these useful citizens on your prayer-list. They lead in many a good work, but God Almighty's Book, the Bible, says that they die lost, having rejected Christ as Lord and Saviour. Pray ever in secret for them, in your secret prayep please. Do not let them die lost "Most saved souls are prayed for souls." 7Student Speaks At Rotary Event In Shady Cove Shady Cove-Trail Shady Cove Rotary club held a "la dies' night" February 20 at Rogue River lodge.
