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

is Subject
Parents of the gifted child
need to be particularly aware
of the child's relationships in
the school, in recreation and
in the community. 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.

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

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. He
used many slides during the
talk.

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.

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

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."

informal atmosphere.
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

Cottons go long-haired in

strongly textured homespuns,
hopsackings, and nubby ra

Fabric designer Hope Skill

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

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
