"Why, the relaxed look,"
said Martha Margeran, chief
dress buyer for the Army and
Air For,ce Post Exchange Ser
vice, with headquarters in
New York.
Tve concentrated on the
clothes with an easy fit, like
the bloused top. And some-of

I think the trapeze will die as
last ' as the chemise. Only in
Panama are the women still
asking for more chemise."
Dorothy Lubkurt is the
service's head buyer of coats,
raincoats and sports clothes.
The two are part of the staff
of women responsible for pur
chasing everything from lin

820 million dollars.
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.

Relaxed Look
Husbands may protest, but
the relaxed silhouette brings
home the bacon.
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. These are
brand names for synthetic
fabrics with a fur-like pile.
There has been little interest
in these in Saudi Arabia,
however.

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.

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

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

Olive Curry and Mrs. Ethel

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. ' -'V '
