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

on Clothes
burbia is to put on a pair of
shorts, or some kind of slacks
or pants "because you're
bending, you're stooping, you
are taking care of the chil
dren."
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."

LIST THE LOST
Geo. N. 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."
