Many of the plans cannot be developed further until funds and ap propriate space in buildings are available or guaranteed, Dr. Kreisman said. Many art fields are to be represented, such as music, drama, painting and allied arts, ceramics and sculpture, the dance, photography, ar chitecture and literature. In music it is hoped that there will be four symphony con certs in Portland and a week's tour by the orchestra. A more extensive tour of the Portland Junior Symphony is contemplated. Some opera, possibly Gilbert and Sullivan, is planned. Concerts featuring the music of four major con temporary composers, at least two of them Oregomans, may also be possible. Contests Planned Photographic contests and exhibits may be carried on in high schools of the state. Con tests in poetry, essay and short story writing for under graduate college students and a state - wide poetry contest will be. conducted if at least two more groups of sponsors are found. Another project would be the publication of anthologies of the work of outstanding Oregon writers. The Portland Civic Theater and of course the Oregon Shakespearean Festival are being counted on for note worthy, contributions to the Centennial celebration, Dr. Kreisman said. Producer An gus Bowmer expects to re cruit an outstanding group of veteran performers for the season of Shakespeare plays. Possibly a seventeenth cen tury masque will be added to the program this year. Exhibits of paintings will be held throughout the state and the hope is for 10 or 12 works of monumental outdoor sculpture to be shown. Conference Planned Some of the domestic ar chitecture of Oregon has at tracted -wide and favorable notice throughout the United States and will come in for its share of attention during the Centennial. Dr. Kreisman emphasized that the features in the realm of the arts must be of first rate quality or would be bet ter omitted. The committee will welcome ideas, and sug gestions.

Yugoslavian Student Talks For Parent - Teacher Group Dusan Pasic, Yugoslavian attending Southern Oregon college, spoke for the last meeting of Lincoln School Parent - Teacher association Mr. Pasic compared education in his native country and the United States Schools are government sponsored and are free, Mr, Pasic said, except that stu dents pay for books, room and meals. The first eight years of school are compulsory and all subjects are compulsory, even on the High school level. From 12 to 15 subjects are re quired for the high school, the speaker said. A student is required to take four languages in high school, Mr. Pasic said, the languages being .French, Ger man, English and Russian. He said that organizations such as the parent-teacher as sociation here exist in Yugo slavia, except that professors and parents meet as a council to discuss school and educa tion problems. Mothers appear to be more interested in the welfare of their children than fathers, ac cording to Mr. PaSic. Students are more formal than in this country, he said. Mr. Pasic also mentioned differences in the tax struct ure of the two nations. In Yu goslavia state industries and corporations pay the bulk of the taxes, he' said, and small shop owners pay little or no taxes. A shop with one or two employees would be class ed as small, he said. Food of the two nations is about the same, according to the student, except for differ ent methods of preparations.

Trade Commission Warns About Pricina Gimmicks ; By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Washington-(UPD-Millions of American consumers are be ing played for suckers by a fictitious pricing racket that sppeals to bargain hunters. The Federal Trade Commis sion, the Better Business Bu reaus, and the Advertising Federation of America are working hard to stamp out the racket. But they won't get far until, individual consum ers wise up to tricks that are being played on them. There are many different gimmicks, say FTC officials, but they all are aimed at the same end: Making you think a product is being offered at a "marked-down," "sacrifice" or "bargain" price, when it actually is selling at a normal retail price with full mark-up. This simple rule will keep a shopper from falling into any of these trops: Buy on the basis of the "now" price, and ignore all claims about the former" price, the "regular" price, or the "suggested price." Price Trickery One of the most widespread froms of price trickery is call ed "pre-ticketing." The price tag cleaily says $9.95, but the product is advertised for $4.95. Sometimes this reflects a genuine bargain-the store has marked down a slow-moving item for clearance. But it also can mean that the re tail price was $4.95 all along, and the $9.95 ticket was stuck oh simply to make the shopper think she is getting a bargain. Some shoppers have be come cynical about "mark downs' that are documented only by the retail store's own price tags. So refinements have been introduced in pre ticketing. The sophisticated approach now is to have them blazoned on the package by the manufacturer. Sometimes this kind of "co operation" between manufac turer and merchant is carried even further, with the con sumer as the victim. Scheme Revealed Recently the FTC charged a firm in New York with putting $1.95 price tags on hosiery and advertising this price in nationally-circulated magazines. ' Small quantities of the stockings actually were sold in retail stores at $1.95 a pair. Then the manufacturer sharp ly reduced its wholesale price and aided the cooperating re tail stores in putting on huge half-price sales. Easy Clam Bisque 1 can tomato soup, 1 can pea soup, a 10 V4 ounce can of minced clams and 2 cups of milk heated very slowly over a low gas flame' makes a delicious, sophisticated soup. Success tip: Always heat cream soups slowly. Give the flavors time to blend and develop. Costumes, Capes, Collars Important New Fashions By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(LTD- The fash ion report card for spring is full of "C's" for costumes capes and col lars. Cost u m e s run through out the collec tions being shown this week to visit ing fashion re porters. The sjLsi semi - annual Gay Pauley previews a r e staged by the 30-member cou ture group of the NewYork Dress Institute. If it were possible to make a count, chances are costumes dresses teamed with jacket or coat, or suit with coordin ate blouse - would out-number the traditional, jacket and skirt combination. Capes removable and capes The stockings sold like hot cakes at 99 cents a pair-to women who had "seen them advertised at $1.95. "Protecting the public from spurious bargains like these has become one of our major concerns,'' said Harry A. Bab cock, executive director of the FTC. "Unless we can bring an end to this trickery, the day will come when reputable merchants, in order to sur vive, will be forced to the same tactics. The result would lose confidence in all price advertising." Babcock said more than 30 per cent of the orders issued by the FTC in the past year have been aimed at phony price claims. Guide Program The Commission is prepar ing to issue a new eight-point guide to industry on ' what kinds of price claims are il legal. It is hoped that this spell ing out of the rules will have a salutary effect on essenti ally honest manufacturers and retailers who are tempted to join the phony pricing racket on the theory that "every body's doing it." The FTC's biggest hope for stamping out the racket lies in educating consumers to do a little old-fashioned shopping before buying "bargains" marked down from fictitious "regular" prices. "There will always be hucksters," said Earl W. Kinter, FTC general counsel. "But a more sophisticated public will reduce their profits."

As for collars, the bigger the better seems to be the designers' rule. French - born Pauline Trigere, who showed her collection Tuesday after noon, came up with a wide, flat collar she dubbed the "platter." "Big .capes, big collars, big sleeves, big buttons ... all help to minimize what's be low," said Miss Trigere. Skeleton Coat New She also came. up with the "skeleton coat," an audacious cross between a coat and a stole, to help focus attention at the top.

'.Miss Trigere also widens the top of a costume with an "allegro" Sleeve.

"When a new silhouette ap pears . . . much experiment must be done until a form or shape appears, modified and refined so it will be easily wearable by a majority of women.
