Newspaper Page Textf 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, January 3Q, 1959 Gifted Child Of New Bureau Pamphlet Washington, D. C. - The Children's Bureau has an nounced an important addi tion to its publications for parents. The newcomer to the shelf deals with a subject now re ceiving increased attention by both parents and schools-the physical and mental develop ment of the child who is es pecially bright or unusually talented. The publication-"Your Gift ed Child'- reflects the belief of the Children's Bureau that long-range planning for gifted children should begin early in their formative years. While written for parents, it is ex pected to be useful also to members of the professions serving children. In commenting on the new publication, Mrs. Katherine B. Oettinger, chief of the Child ren's Bureau, pointed out that there will be unusual oppor tunities for the gifted child in tomorrow's world. "Many gifted children fail to live up to their potential because their talents are not encouraged and nurtured in their own homes," Mrs. Oet tinger said. "In far too many cases, gifted children do not complete college training-and some do not even finish high school. Lack of money is often the factor in this failure-but the attitudes of parents and many other factors may be in volved." While gifted children have the same needs as all child ren, the new publication stresses that parents of the gifted child may need to make especial efforts to see that their child is not lonely. It also warns against pressuring the gifted child, or over-scheduling his time. The giving of praise and opportunities for developing the child's inter ests, however, are equally emphasized. Eagle Point PTA To Buy School Science Eagle Point - At the Janu ary meeting of Eagle Point Parent - Teacher association, members voted to purchase a microscope and a telescope for the science classes of the grade school. Other projects considered were the redecor ating of the sick room in the grade school, record players, and playground equipment. Mrs. Keith Krambeal, chair man of the committee ap pointed to investigate these proposals, reported on the committee's findings and recommended that the science equipment be purchased. Sergeant F. E. Holley of the Oregon State Police depart ment, briefed the association on traffic regulations concern ing Implements of husbandry and emphasized several gen eral traffic safety rules for all drivers. He stressed the neces sity of using headlights rather than parking lights in foggy weather, the illegality of cov SATISFIED USERS REPORT MIRACULOUS RESULTS A MANDR0NE(O ORGANIC .M-21 HELPS YOUR BODY BUILD RADIANT HEALTH!

Parents can help the child by exposing him to a wide variety of activities and sources of knowledge which can stimulate his own ability to learn and to put that knowledge to work. The pamphlet points out that "Parents react different ly when it's definitely decided that their child has rare and unusual gifts. Some are boast ful. Some deny it, do every thing to discourage the belief, even try to conceal the fact. Others take a middle of the road and more healthful atti tude. They are proud, yet modest and keep their child's welfare uppermost in mind. "The gifted child especially wants and enjoys having a part in planning his own life. Setting him apart, doing everything for him, deciding what he will and won't do, overprotecting him, is bad for him. The gifted child can usually follow through to com pletion on a task without con stant supervision. Wise par ents begin early to allow him some freedom of choice and freedom to meet life on his own." "Your Gifted Child" was re viewed by more than 100 persons, among them parents of gifted children, and the children themselves. The Na tional Association of Gifted Children made up one group of reviewers, and individual e d u c a t ors representing re search, rural education, col 1 e g e educators, elementary education, supervision and cur riculum another. Copies of "Your Gifted Child" may be obtained from the Superintendent of Docu m e n t s, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., for 20 cents each.

Suggestions Given Richard Wolgamott, safety chairman, announced that the safety committee had the fol lowing suggestions to offer: that "A" Street be closed to traffic during the bus loading and unloading periods; that four "20 mile an hour" signs be placed at designated loca tions in the vicinity of the grade and high schools; and that blinker lights be installed at Main and "B" Streets in Eagle Point. A film entitled "Hit and Run Investigation" was presented as part of the safety program and pointed out the fact that avoiding re sponsibility in a traffic acci dent may be a criminal of fense. Mrs. Oscar Frei, health Zone.. State.. Conservation Is Subject Of Forester John Garten, forester with one of southern Oregon large lumber firms, spoke for the January meeting of Crater Lake chapter, Daughter of the American Revolution. He gave an informative talk on conservation, taking as his topic "Is Conservation Good Business?" The speaker showed how trees in the forests, pruning, careful attention to marking cutting and felling them prop erly, and care in loading logs for the mills, all contribute to greater profits for the company. Mr. Garten poke of cer tain disease which attack timber, said that even the soil is damaged in forest fires, and told of the damage done by porcupine, deer and cattle. Means are taken to combat these attacks, he said, and increase the productivity of the timber lands. A forester must be a "jack of all trades" Mr. Garten said. The speaker said that his company tries to cooperate with the public by opening scenic areas, hunting and fishing grounds, picnic spots, roadways, for public use. He stated the firm preferred to educate the public to be care ful in regard to fire and other damage to timber rath er than bar people from en joyment of the forests.

Paris Spring Line Said Most Wearable in Years By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris-d'PD-Press critics, de partment store buyers and even the only people who have yet worn the new Paris spring line -the mannequins themselves - agreed unani mously today that it is the most wearable in years. Their reaction to this year's collection was one of relief and jubilation that women fi nally will be allowed to show their natural shapes. Sacks, trapezes and artifi cially high waists were things of the past until next season anyway as every designer in this fashion capital paraded his own version of the natural Dior Line Simple, Natural United Press International Paris - (UPD - Thursday was "D" day in Paris, "D" stand ing for the House of Dior that helped pull France out of her post-war slump by launching the controversial money-making look. As every year at this time since the war, hundreds of newsmen and buyers crammed the grey-and gold Dior salon to watch the un veiling of a new line that could change female fashions around the world. Also showing Thursday were two of the most influ ential . dressmakers in Paris: Lanvin-Castillo and Chanel. Castillo was said to have the most colorful and elaborate ly embroidered collection in Paris. - Chanel was expected to go her own sweet way as she has successfully for years. Some of the drama was missing because the House of Dior's designer, talented Yves Saint-Laurent, had already disclosed his spring silhouette. He told United Press Inter national Wednesday, 24 hours before unveling his pace setting spring collection, that his new line would make a woman look like nature made her. "For the first time in years women will be simple, supple and natural," he said. And he explained that this meant busts and waists where they should be, although all dresses would not be belted. "Skirts will be natural,"; said Saint-Laurent, pointing out that, of course, their length would vary with the dress. This back-to-natural line is what the Paris dressmakers have been showing all week. Guy La Roche, Jacques Griffe and Serge Matta all presented their own varia tions on this silhouette theme Wednesday. Cause of Birth Analyzed by By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York-(UPD-This is about so-called "birth-defect" babies. There are 250,00 such infants born in the United States each year. Some die at birth or soon after but many live. For those who survive, and their parents, life can be hard - but sometimes we ourselves add to the pain. Maybe you know such a child. A boy or a girl with palsy. A tot with only one ear or one hand or a twisted foot or leg. What happened to make them so? According to Dr. Thomas Rivers, parents, neighbors and relatives must first of all ac cept that there is no stigma Slim and Trim Classes Offered Valley women interested in streamlining their figures were reminded today that "slim and trim classes" meet at the Medford YMCA Tues day and Thursday from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. Exercises, volleyball, badminton and swimming are offered at this period. Mrs. Jean Compagnoni, a licensed masseuse, has con sented to give instruction to women interested in learning message technique. This class is set for 10:30 a.m. Thurs days. Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 1 until 3 p.m. lessons in bridge are offered at the YMCA for women in terested in learning more about the Goren county sys tem. Child care is available both morning and afternoon on these days. Dollars For You Adrian Paradis' new book, "Dollars for You," which can be obtained at the Jackson County library, outlines more than 150 ways in which boys can earn money doing part timt work. female silhouette. Colors, fabrics and details were invariably different but the silhouette shaped up the same: Bust, waist and hiplines the way nature made them and skirts that permitted a woman legroom. Make Americans Happy The two designers showing their clothes today during the windup cf the spring collec tions both were women: Gres and Madeleine de Rauch. Both are exponents of wear ability and thus not the sort to buck the trend. The consensus was that even if the collections have not made headlines they are going to make the American women happy. Their keynote is variety. So' if you do not have a 20 inch waistline suited for one of the tightly belted numbers there are tunics, middy-styled and easy fitting ensembles for the choosing. One of the buyers who viewed the Christian Dior show said that the collection would certainly sell in Amer ica just because of this. "How can it miss?" she asked. "After all there are middy overblouses as well as tightly fitted bodices and hip length jackets as well as waist length ones." " Predicts Commercial Success Macy's fashion coordinator, Marjori Reich, said the Dior collection may turn out to be one of the most commercially successful ever to hit the United States. American buyers will pick up Dior or Patou or Chanel originals for 1,000 and up. With the sale price often goes a royalty on each reproduc tion sold. Very shortly, those who can afford to will be able to buy the same dress on Fifth ave nue for $500 and up. And by summer-the high ly competitive American gar ment trade being what it is the new line will be on the racks in the big American mass-volume stores at $39.95.

Defects Foundation attached either to the child or its family when nature does n't stick to its usual blueprint. Engaged In Research It is suspected that some thing made nature's complex reproduction machinery z i g when it should have zagged during the months preceding birth, Rivers said. The National Foundation, of which Dr. Rivers is medical director, is engaged in re search aimed at pin-pointing the causes of these defects, so that some day they may be prevented. Right now "we all can help to clear the air about mal formed babies," he said, mak ing these points: -If there's one "birth - de fect" baby in a family, moth ers and dads should be dis couraged from fearing need lessly that subsequent children will be similarly afflicted. Have Suspected Causes -German measles, powerful drugs, narcotics, excesses of alcohol, extensive X-ray and prolonged operations under heavy anesthesia during preg nancy are among suspected causes of birth defects. -Through rehabilitation, many malformed babies can be helped to become useful and productive adults, for re habilitation is "much more of a miracle than many of the so-called miracle drugs." -Families should seek the benefits that modern medicine and surgery can provide for these children. Cotne i The way in which furniture is arranged in a room can affect its composition, says decorator Catherine Conibear. And the composition affects the kind of room you end up with. Here, an informal, or asymmetric arrangement is partly responsible for the casual mood that results. A dif ferent arrangement on each side of the bookcase dividei is conducive to a restful, Housing Acute Problem In Russia; Being Solved By ROSE McKEE Washington - New housing going up in the Soviet Union is giving the Russian people the feeling that their greatest personal problem - living space - is on the way to solu tion, according to Dr. Mar garet Sloan of the National Research council. She is one of six American women doctors who recently made a 28-day visit inside Russia. Their trip was part of the people-to-people exchange program. Some in the group got an unusual view of Soviet homes because they accom panied Russian physicians on their rounds to visit patients. Asked in an interview what a Russian home is like on the inside, Dr. Sloan said that there usually is a bed in every room except for the kitchen because "they are so hard up for space" and often there is a bed in the hall. She noticed lace curtains at the windows and, some times, oriental type rugs on the floors. Obviously loathe to be. a "see-and-hit" type guest, she tempered her re port on furniture by saying only that "by our standards, it is not attractive." She stressed that there was little emphasis on interior decora tion because "that is a lux ury." Clothing Improved' But Dr. Sloan said that good designs in furniture are beginning to - be advanced. She noted that the "clothing is improving in - appearance very rapidly" and, she indi cated, she thought advances in home furnishings would be but a matter of time. She said that while the housing situation "is still ex tremely crowded with two or three persons sleeping in one room," . new apartments are rising rapidly and "you see them as you drive outside" the cities. People already are being evacuated from the center of Moscow to the new apart ments outside the city and the old structures are being torn down, she said. Dr. Sloan, a graduate of the school of medicine at George Washington univer sity, St. Louis, reported that there are "still log cabins, very old, in the heart of Moscow." But she said they won't be there long." Some Log Houses She saw some single new houses in. what would com pare to suburban areas in this country "and many of them were log houses which were quite attractive."

Soviet life which impressed Dr. Sloan favorably was the "incredible large number of bookstores," often two or three to a block. She said she had. the impression everyone was reading a tremendous number of books and the reading was of a serious na ture. Dr. Sloan considers that the "greatest strength of the Soviet Union is the tremen dous support given to educa tion." She said that parents know their children will have wide opportunity for educa tion "and this means eco nomic development, even more so than in this coun try." Cottons Long-Hair This Spring United Press International Cottons go long-haired in 1959. Look for fringed fab rics, called "haircut cottons," strongly textured homespuns, hopsackings, and nubby ra tines with geometric patterns and abstract prints. Another weave has a notched surface simulating wicker. Pique comes in giant waffle weaves Fabric designer Hope Skill man introduced a "tissue ter ry," a fluffy cotton souffle with textured hoops, as resil ient as a sponge, and recom mended for travel wear. Separates get a new look this year - yoke interest, high- placed tabs, buttons and other detailing to achieve a high waisted effect. The overblouse is cropped just above the waist, barely meeting the built-up waistline of pants and shorts. Brief boleros are worn over skirts suspended on cam isoles. . Nightwear has a foreign flavor. The influence of Ital ian lacework and bright col ors, Grecian drapery, Spanish toreador trousers and short- cropped ruffled bodices shows in pajamas, gowns and peig noirs. The Oriental look is strong in pool-side resort fashions. A Japanese obi-effect is promi nent in swimsuit jackets, and Far Eastern colors, such as lacquer red, show in suits Pastels have the quality of Japanese watercolors - thin, cool, yet penetrating.
