2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, October 24, 1958 iWestern Clothing Adopted By Japanese For Comfort By GAY PAULEY I UPI Womm'i Editor i Tokyo fUPB Fashions in ' this city are so Westernized the young modern's wardrobe includes falsies instead of ki imonos. ' Copying the Occident has n't yet reached the stage . where examples of the Jayne : Mansfield school abound; the ; Japanese girl just ain't built ' that way. And centuries of wearing the binding obi have : discouraged any such tend- ency. But since World War II, 1 many of the young and mid , die-aged women are giving nature assistance "with pad : ding from the lingeries coun- I ters, reports Takashimaya, ' one of Tokyo's largest depart ' ment' stores. Salesgirls said most of their customers get their ideas from . Western dress from the mo vies and fashion magazines ; "Before the war, it was considered almost indecent for a Japanese girl to wear falsies," said Miss Hiroko Na ; kamoto, of the store's import export division. "Now there's '. no stigma. And the men have changed; they are interested ' More Comfortable Rie Haraguchi, the store's head designer, said skirts and sweaters, or blouses had ousted the kimono for every day wear for a couple of rea sons. One, Western dress is more comfortable for the girl behind the sales counter or in the office. Two, that "cute little kimono" tourists talk about is a complicated dress and more expensive than the Western clothes The designer said a winter- weight kimono, will cost 15, 000 yen or more -or $40 plus, Then there is the added price of the under-kimono, plus obi, plus cords to hold obi in place. But the Japanese girl can buy Western-style suit 'plus accessories for around $40. One thing about the kimono it doesn't get dated as some fashions from the West do. Economical Western Dress Miss Haraguchi said the Luncheon Honors Candidate's Wife Mrs. Paul Geddes, Rose burg, spoke briefly' at a lunch eon given in her honor yes terday noon at the Medford hotel and attended by about 40 persons. Mrs. Geddes is the wife of the Republican candidate for Congress. Mr. Geddes spoke of ari incident in which an employee in a plant told her husband, in an aside, that he meant to vote for the Republican but did not dare support him openly for fear of repercus sions. "What an indictment of America," she said, "that a citizen dare not speak his mind about a candidate." . The honored guest also spoke about a feeling of de featism which some Republi cans have since the party is outnumbered in some dis : tricts, and said party mem bers must all work hard, whatever the odds. . The luncheon was sponsor ed by the non-partisan Citi- zens for Geddes committee, with Mrs. William Duhaime ', as chairman. Mrs, Geddes was . introduced by Mrs. Carl Wjm- berly Jr. The Roseburg woman is being honored at coffee par ; ties today and will return north this afternoon. : Mincemeat Stuffing I Good in Baked Apple New York lUPD- Extra-deli- cious baked apples are pre : pared with a mincemeat stuf : fing. Wash and core 6 firm bak ' ing apples. Pare them 13 the . way down, starting at stem ' end. This prevents skin from bursting. Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla ' extract with 3 cup mince- meat- Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture in center of each ' apple. Place stuffed apples in ; shallow baking dish and pour over syrup made by boiling ZA cup sugar with X cup ' water. ' Cover apples with foil, bake ' in preheated moderate (350 degree) oven 25 minutes. Re " move cover and bake 25 min--utes longer or until apples " are tender, basting often with ; sugar syrup in pan. Dr. Orval Eaton, O.D. announces the opening of his NEW OFFICE in the Oakdale Professional Bldg. for the pactice of, OPTOMETRY 408 S Oakdale Phone SP 2-2060 economy also is causing Jap anese brides to buy Western styles instead of the tradition al. A bride can get a United States-type gown for 15,000 to 20,000 yen S40 to S55. But a bridal kimono, of the rich est silks, costs from 100,000 yen, or about S275. Pity the father of the bride who wants an old-fashioned wedding. She will buy from three to four of these kimonos for the ancient ceremony, and for changes later. A costly silk head-dress also is part of the traditional bridal outfit. I noticed that although sep arates are favorite apparel for Tokyo's white collar girls, they were skirt lengths mid calf. I asked Miss Haraguchi about the "sack" look and fur styles in her homeland. The sack never caught on, she said. "And few of us wear furs," she added. "In your country, every girl dreams of owning a mink. Here, every girl dreams of her first eve ning dress."

Sorority Explained For Group The aims, purposes, history and achievements of Beta Sigma Phi. were discussed at a model meeting of Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi held at the home of Mrs. John Holmes October 14. Mrs. Irving Thompson point ed out that the motto, "Life, Learning and Friendship," condenses the aims and pur poses of Beta Sigma Phi. It is an international ' organiza tion created for young wom en in search of cultural and social activity. Although bet ter krtown for these phases, the civic and welfare work have become an integral part of its achievements and aims, she said. Beta Sigma Phi originated in Abilene, Kansas, in 1931 with only seven members in the first chapter. From this small beginning, has grown a great corporation of 5,500 chapters with over 130,000 active members. It is spon sored by Walter W. Ross and Company, Inc., which directs the founding of new chapters. Mrs. Robert Vincent, who outlined the history, went on to say that an educational foundation was formed and incorporated to handle the fi nancial affairs of the sorority, and a few months later, Beta Sigma Phi was incorporated under a charter granted by the state of Missouri. Miss Jean Cardona told of the achievements of Beta Sigma Phi. An international endowment fund was estab lished in 1948. Beta Sigma Phi chapters, through this fund, have aided humanity through the projects which have or are having contribu tions from the endowment fund. Among some of the projects assisted by the fund are the American Cancer so ciety, grants to support can cer research, scholarship funds, and contributions to ward the support -of Girls town, USA at Whiteface, Texas. ; ' Members were reminded of the international night party being held at the Red Cross Building October 24.

Specialist Advises On Proper Bedspread For College Rooms New York (LTD A good quality woven bedspread is most likely to succeed m the college dormitory. Mary Grindstaff, home fur nishing specialist for Colo rado State University Exten sion Service, said that such a spread takes harder wear and requires less care than a tufted or a chenille one. Check the label. The col lege-bound spread should be colorfast and. preshrunk to make the grade. Miss Grindstaff said lots of design or many bright col ors in a bedspread can make a room look "busy." Simple designs and color schemes tend to make a room more spacious and less clut tered. It's a good idea for room mates to select identical spreads.

SQ33 now OR 2 FOR $6.00 New Electronic Gadget Souaht to Thread Needle Br CLAIRE COX United Press International New York - (DED -Scientists have created electronic brains that can add up to trillions in trice or translate JRussian novels but they haven't found a mechanical way to thread a needle. This eye-straining chore still must be done by hand, whether at home or in a fac tory, according to Albert Lion. At least, Lion does not know of any automatic needle threading device that he could use in his embroidery factory -and he has been looking for one for years. "All attempts have failed," said Lion, president of Lion Brothers Company of Balti more. Lion's-machines turn out 25,000,000 emblems - every year. The equipment is of the most modern design. It can handle up to 12 different colors for a single fraternity or band emblem. Instructions are 'fed to the machines by a player-piano-type roller. A gadget equip ped with photoelectric cells sorts, counts and packs em blems. Electronic brains do all of Lion's computing for him. ' But his workers still have to thread the needles them selves, and sometimes there are 340 to 510 needles to be threaded for every change of Pretty Boy Not Eligible as Queen Whiteville, N.C.-ttJrD-Sevea year-old Bill. Ward may be the prettiest student in Mrs. Hugh Stout's first grade class at William Township school but he's not in the running for Halloween queen any more.. It took all of Mrs. Stout's coaxing to persuade the class to pick a girl candidate after the students had nominated Bill unanimously. He couldn't be a "queen" candidate, she argued. - "We don't care," replied blue-eyed Debbie Jacobs. "We want Bill. He's the prettiest." The youngsters finally changed their minds and now Debbie is the candidate.

The. machinery must be stopped every time such changes are made. But Lion said his most skilled em ployees can thread a needle after a thread breaks without having to halt the machinery. That takes a hand that can move much faster than the eye, however, he said. Lion told United Press In ternational in an interview that it took his company 10 years to develop the sorting- counting-packing device, but that not one of his 300 em ployees, and numerous con sultants had come up with a needle threader that was practicable. There is a limited market for embroidery machinery, he said. In fact, there is such a small demand for it, that he gets most of his equipment in Switzerland, where em broidery is a major industry. mi: u FOR THE PERFECT BLOODY MARY lEISCHiW VODKA. . SO PROOF .
