He predicted that prices will be slightly higher than in past years, with som growers charging about 12 cents per pound. '. . Mr. Berry added that apri cots from other areas have been in good supply and of q reasonable good quality.

Adorable Styles large selection BONNETS M Large Group COATS - DUSTERS BOYS' SUITS Sizes Infants to 6x Socialite Not Acting 'For Kick' By GAY'PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York Dina Merrill in tends to show the world she was born with the acting spark in her makeup as well as the silver spoon in her mouth. "I'm dead serious; I'm not a 'socialite' who is acting for kicks. It makes me angry when I'm accused of that," said Miss Merrill, who doesn't need to act for money either. In terms of career, Dina pronounced Deen-uk Merrill migrated from modeling for slick fashion magazines to little theater to Broadway to television and finally to the movies, aided and abetted not only with that ambition for acting but also with a patri cian beauty. She is tail, blonde and has a stunning figure. Mother of Three In real life, she is the so cially prominent Mrs. Stanley Rumbough Jr., of New York, mother of two boys and a girl, ages five to 11. Her husband is president of a couple of manufacturing companies. On her father's side she is a Hutton, a cousin of million airess -Barbara. Her mother is Mrs. Merriwether Post May, Washington social leader, who has all those cereal millions. "So that's why I changed my name for. the stage," she said. "It's just Kke Gloria Van. derbilt says, producers never take us seriously, If anything, being what you call a socialite is a handicap, you have to work twice as hard. Some columnist once wrote that if she wanted to, Dina Merrill could buy 20th Cen tury Fox. That's ridiculous. "I've wanted to be an ac tress since. . .well, since I was in the first grade I guess. If I live to be 90 I'll still feel the same way. . No Committee Lady "Some of my set look on me as an oddity, but I wasn't cut out to be one of those com mittee lady types." - She added, however, that she does try to do "my share" of charity and welfare work, and is the fifth generation of the Rumbough family to serve on the board of the New York City Mission society. The actress has just fin ished her second movie for Fox, a comedy called "A Nice Little Bank That Should Be Robbed," in which she co-stars with Tom Ewell and Mickey Rooney. Her movie and television work has made her a trans continental commuter. "But I try to be away from home as little as possible," she said. "I fly back even on a weekend break."

IP.ttp.imiPipi Several years back when the writer of this column first started "filing" clippings, Pappy suggested that maybe we should move ihem out to the barn there just didn't seem room in the house for everything. We took the hhat and tried to be more orderly and even came to the point where we threw away a few a drastic move for us. "Filing" is a polite term for the several folders we' keep labeled variously as "column copy," or "to read", or "save" or "ideas." " We have clippings about food, art, fashions, religion, politics, music, and a dozen other subjects. Naturally, when writing on any of these subjects we can seldom ever find the most interesting or informative of the clippings. They turn up the next week when we are writing about something else. . Today we glanced in the back bedroom, which is no longer a bedroom but Potpourri's second office, and the sight of the room brought on the firm resolve to throw away part of the accumulation. We spent an hour sorting through two files of clippings, letters, memos, pamphlets, etc., and threw away three sheets of paper. " " ' C ' One of the pieces of paper we didn't throw away was a letter from George L. Haff, Gold Hill, correcting a statement in a story about his recent birthday celebration. (Which' Potpourri didn't write, honest.) Anyhow, Mr., Haff said he was 91 years old on June 14, but corrected the statement that President .James Abram Garfield was assassinated on that day in 1881. President Garfield was assassinated July 2, 1881, not on June 14, Mr. Haff wrote. Mr. Haff said news papers should be careful not to publish incorrect information. He adde"d the interesting statement that "91 years has pro duced a skin like an elephant hide ... the old world can whirl as fast as it desires, it is nothing to me." . ,., - - Believe it or not, Mr. Haff, most newspaper reporters do work very hard at getting only correct statements into print, but you have no idea how hard it is, sometimes. And how time-consuming it would be to stop and check on every single bit of information sent to the paper such as the date when President Garfield was assassinated. Sometimes the repercussions from errors in print are pretty dis couraging, if not downright frightening. Those are the times we wish we had, like Mr. Haff, "a skin like an elephant hide." Of course, there are those who might well believe that newspapers are just filled with mistakes. Take the Don Gerens of Eagle Point, for instance. Don and Pat Geren can hardly remember when "Geren" came out right. (That cracking noise was Potpourri crossing Tier fingers.) They get spelled all wrong, and last time Mrs. G. went to party, the Tribune reported her as Mrs. Garrett. ". "But back to the clippings. The file on fashions begins to look interesting. Pal Peg clipped one of Sylvia Porter's columns in which she analyzed fashions for fall saying that skirts are going up to the knee, the waistline up under the bosom and that necklines for evening and cocktail wear will "plunge." She predicted that the trapeze and trumpet shapes will be top fashion and that colors and prints will be spectacular. Since Miss Porter is a business and financial analyst, she predicted unhesitatingly that the clothing and accessory business this fall will be great. - Because so much more of the feminine leg will be show ing,, the stocking takes on added importance. Shades will continue dark gray, black, navy, etc. Because all hems will have to be taken up, thread and tape business will in crease and the' dressmaker and tailor will be busy. Miss Porter concludes that "just about every dress in your ward robe will be out of date." It will also be fashionable to have "outfits" with matching gloves, hats, purse and shoes, and she quoted one shoe buyer as "exulting" that women would need new shoes for every single- "outfit." Oh yes, beads are continuing popular, and the designers are puting fur on everything. All of this will make the manufacturers and the whole salers and the retailers very happy, but it makes Potpourri gloomy. Sounds like a conspiracy, it does. For the first time in many years we'd reached the stage where our wardrobe was beginning to be almost adequate and now it seems we're supposed to start all over again. And women will. ' Already the advertisements begin to prove that Miss Porter is correct. Pal Peg gave up a clipping from the New York Times. It advertised "sumptuous sweaters white mink or fox heaped on cashmere." One sold for $150, another for $200. The file on fashions also produced an article by Olga Curtis, quoting Larry Aldrich, New York dress manu facturer, who is credited with convincing the rest of the in dustry that this was the time to change fashions. He thought women were bored with the small, fitted waist line and isn't worried about the. resistance movement. -Every major fashion change causes a battle, he says, and added that "you can't change the course of fashion any more than you can change the course of Niagara Falls with a spoon." And Mr. Aldrich concluded the interview with this: "Men like the shorter fashion. They are bored with the blatant over emphasis on bosoms." But enough of fashion we're bored with fashion period. We turn now to Charles Brower, president of Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborne, who said some mighty strong words in a recent speech before the National Sales Execu tive club in Washington, D.C. (And quoted in "Dateline," publication of the National Association of Manufacturers.) This is "the great era of the goof -off, the age of the half-done job" according to Mr. Brower. "The land from coast to coast has been enjoying a stampede away from re sponsibility. It is populated with laundryman who won't iron shirts, with waiters who won't serve, with carpenters who will come around some day, maybe . . . with students who take cinch courses because the hard ones make them think . . . The Russians are doing a wonderful job as the Bar barians in our modern historical drama. But we are outdoing them in our superlative imitation of Rome . . . We have got to work, or a stronger nation will put us to work!" O.S. THIRSTY AHEAD! stock up UN vsisrv: e HHiPCT ww-im. o tnt tw ceo- u lHuf.

Bicycle Safety Said Greater in Summer New York Bicycle riding can 'be fun all year around, but" pedal pushing ; probably approaches its peak during the summer months. Not only is there freedom from school, with an increased opportunity for recreation there are also many summer jobs to .be. had near home,- and youngsters often use their bikes coming and going'to work." Thus the arrival " of July and August would seem to call for greater awareness of the need .for bicycle safety, by the motorist and the bike rider and . by parents, sug gests the Institute of Life In surance. - : : A There are some 25 million bicyclists in the United States, of all ages, sizes and . shapes. The records for last year how 53,000 injuries caused by col lisions with bicycles,, a frac tion of all the injuries that were counted up during 1957. And, despite all the falls and other . accidents, serious as they may have been, relative ly few fatalities occurred during the year. -1 However, since most of these tragedies took place in one small group of individu als 'children between the ages of five and 14 indica tions are that a great deal can bed one within the family to improve bicycle safety. Some of the accident-prevention rules are obvious.

A solo bike rider is responsible for keeping to the right, obey ing traffic lights and stop signs, giving hand signals, and knowing what to do when he sees a car pulling out a driveway or parking space just ahead of him. With the growing popular ity of bicycle riding there are more bikes around today than in the Gay Nineties has come greater emphasis on safe cycling from a multitude of organizations.: Among them are life insurance com panies, men's and women's community groups, farm groups, law enforcement agencies as well as so vital ly interested an association as the Bicycle Institute of Amer ica.- - Many Programs : These organizations ham mer home safety in various ways. A life insurance com pany makes wide distribution to schools, of a motion picture on safe biking to be viewed by students. A parent-teacher association sponsors a safety, program to remind father and mothers that bicycle safety is chiefly a home responsibility. A police department obtains a local law requiring bicycles to be licensed, with the au thorities empowered to re voke a license if a youngster continues , to disregard the traffic laws. A Bicycle Court is set up within the commu nity, to deal with violators; high school seniors are ap pointed to act as judge and jury members. A men's organization such as the Optimist Club in a community sponsors a . Bike Safety Week, so that town children can observe correct riding methods and good bi cycle . maintenance. Public safety officials, together with teams of police and bicycle repairmen, announce a community-wide inspection pro gram to ferret out danger spots on bicycles loose and worn parts, and defective brakes. In a Western commu nity, the Boy Scouts, police and civil defense authorities join hands in conducting a rousing Bike Rodeo to empha size bicycle inspections and riding skill. - Over the years the activi ties of these groups have un doubtedly helped parents in their efforts to establish good cycling habit in their chil dren, and in keeping accidents down.
