ty committees. 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. Mrs. Mabel Winston, regis
trar of SOC, gave a report on
the Conferences for Young
Adults which have been held
annually at the college since
1950. High school principals
from a number of communi
ties in Oregon select students
who, with their parents are
invited to attend this one day
session. The purpose is to
make available to a large
number of students the help
of outstanding leaders for the
discussion of their problems.
About 150 students usually at
tend and personal, family and
social problems are consider
ed. This year's conference
will be held on March 28 with
Dr. Thomas Papenberger,
teacher of family life at
Davis, Calif., as leader. The
branches of A. A. U. W. are
among the sponsoring groups
for these conferences.

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. ' ,
This new trapping is a per
fectly tailored, neatly fast

for the chemise silhouette,

loosely shaped dress, but with
fit at the midriff and a lifted

"Designing clothes is not an
exact science," said Aldrich.
"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.
Features Cardigan Jackets
"Only then will the new
silhouette meet with approv
al."
Aldrich featured a whole
group of costume suits, some
of them with cardigan jackets;
many with' detail to stress a
lifted waistline.

A bed of watercress makes
an attractive setting for slices
of cold roast beef, lamb, veal

to the platter. Left-over muf
fins have more appeal when
toasted until delicately brown
under the broiler. Serve them
buttered and piping hot with
fresh fruit dessert. Fry left
