Tve concentrated on the clothes with an easy fit, like the bloused top. And some-of the empire waistline .dresses. I think the trapeze will die as last ' as the chemise.

Fashions are not stocked in ! domestic post exchanges,-but they are one of the most im portant items sold overseas. ; "The women are starved for j the new styles from the states," said Miss Lubkurt, who combs the Seventh ave nue garment district daily. "To my great surprise, they took to the sack faster than we did here." Most fashions go abroad, by air freight, he explained, be cause the women want- the styles while they're "hot." But such staples as blue jeans and diapers can go by ship. Has Overseas Buyers The service also has over seas buyers, most of them in Europe, shopping for such ac cessories as cashmere sweat ers ' from Scotland, , purses from, Italy, or gloves from Paris. ' "Not much suit or dress buying from Paris houses," Miss Lubkurt explained. "A woman living on a service man's pay isn't going to be dressed by Dior. She wants the smart little $15 dress that only American manufacturers can turn out. "We do ship some higher priced things from the New York market ... to posts where there is a lot of brass. These wives can afford a label and a name designer." Buyers must consider cli mate as well as style in mak ing selections. Raincoats are in demand at all exchanges.

The free-flowing Empire look, the chemise, the trapeze, the bubble and the easy at home look have paid off hand somely in good solid cash, thanks to the fashion know how and the sewing skill of the finalists in the recent Singer Sew-Off. Perhaps influenced by the thousands of dollars in prizes awarded in this" exciting na tional competition, the Sew Off finalists showed a decided preference for green, which appeared in four of the top five garments. First prize of 525,000 was won by Mrs. Paul E. Bell of Lakewood, Ohio, for her entry of an Empire en semble in pistachio green; sec ond prize of $10,000 was won by Mrs. Wilma "Van Home of La JHabra, California, for her at-home costume featuring tones of. green .mixed with blue. - Judges in the contest were impressed by the number of up-to - the - minute fashion trends produced by the 35 fi nalists, each of whom spent four " intensive sewing days em outposts like Newfound land and Labrador.

Building Safety Into Homes Urged Urbana, 111. -UPlh A top home safety analyst says that a 28,000 person-a-year home accident fatality rate makes it imperative to "build as much safety into the home as possible." O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the Univer-1' sity of Illinois, called upon homemakers to pay particu lar attention to the safety fac tors of their garage, roof and phimney, basement and attic, crawl space, kitchen, dining room and bedrooms. Hogsett said" bathrooms, storage closets, electrical wir ing, plumbing and ; heating systems and areas easily ac cessible to rodents should also be checked regularly. He said special care should be given to keeping danger-! ous obiects such as knives and screwdrivers out of the reach of children, as well as light switches near tubs or water faucets.

Reg. to 12.95 Jacqueline & Vitality $9.90 OPEN MONDAYS TILL 9 P.M. Echoes From Low Echo By KAREN LYTLE ' "Where did the cabin go?" was a frequent cry. at . Low Echo Girl Scout Camp at Lake o' the Woods as the counsel ors and "CITs" (counselors in training) arrived Saturday to organize the camp. There was a good deal of confusion while adjusting to camp life but everyone learn ed quickly. The CITs realized the importance of the indis pensable flashlight as Diane "Teddy" Pullen, Mimi "Doe" Jones, and I (Peter Pan) found ourselves crashing about the woods in the dark. Perhaps we were just tired from the dancing lessons that were in cluded in the training course. Everyone, including our camp director, Irene "Kit" Knox, had been learning the Boston-Two-Step. Virginia 'Mac" Mc Intire, the assistant camp di rector had us hopping about in fine style in spite of Jackie "Cricket" Callan and Yvon ne "Stormy" Fields wh5 tried hard to act iike the real sixth graders they would soon try to teach. The prime purpose of the counselors arrivipg a week ahead of the campers is to re ceive training., Not even the camp handyman is exempt. However, he must have miss ed the first lesson for on ar rival at the lodge to pick up ithe mail, he seemed to have forgotten the name . of the camp. The fact that he was able to give an adequate de scription of the camp saved him. He would have been very unpopular had he not been able to get the mail. ' During this training period there is plenty to do outdoors but on rainy days we keep busy making kaper charts, stringing 'floats,' watching leadership film. Since we Fellowship Head Resigns Office; Events Announced The resignation of Mrs. Warren Fairbanks as presi dent of Christian Women's fellowship was accepted at the last meeting of the fellow ship. Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks are moving to Crater Lake. Plans were made to have a' church-wide 1 rummage sale September 4-5, with proceeds to go to the church building fund. Information concerning the sale may be obtained from. Mrs. James Hopkins, SPring 2-5158. , ( . . , Circle chairmen have been, asked to start sewing activi-i ties in the various groups inj preparation for the annual church sale and bazaar. All women of the church who wish to contribute time or ar ticles for the sale may do so, and' it is also stated that men may contribute small articles made from wood. Guests, for the luncheon which preceded the last meet ing were Mrs. Opal Dunn, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Gertrude Heaton, Morton, Kan.; Miss Olive Curry and Mrs. Ethel van t-ieave, Meaiora. ' To remove discoloration from, aluminum cooking uten sils, cook rhubarb, tomatoes or tart apples, or a weak vine gar solution in them. spend seven weeks at' camp with only 24 hours off be tween sessions, mail call is a very important part of camp life. Mail, though important, isn't the" only contact with the outside world as occasional visitors who may visit in the lodge until lights out bring in formation. Music is also a big part of Girl Scout camping and Low Echo is no exception. Girls from various parts, of the country and 'different camps bring new songs with' them and are anxious to learn old Low Echo standbys. Since some of the girls collect songs and some bring along musical instruments, we're never lack ing music. Dinner call is the most im portant part of the day. Liv ing outdoors builds some mighty big appetites. Diets fall by the wayside in the fresh air. "Cricket" ate three pieces of cake in a final mo ment of weakness just before lights out. However, as water front director she works hard to set up the equipment for the boating and swimming programs. After evening sessions we sit around the fireplace sing ing and eating and getting warm before we stagger back to our cold beds to collapse after a busy day.
