6B MAIL TRIBUNE, Medforcf, Oregon, Wednesday, April 8, 1959 Fashion Picture Has Color Sparkle Color, and lots of It, gives sparkle to the spring fashion picture. Varied and vibrant are the hues - pinks, reds, yel lows, greens, blues, purples, in fact, most shades of the spectrum. While the fashion impor tance of color was never greater, it's paradoxical, but true, that neutrals are enjoy ing increased popularity. Navy, beige, gray and black win renewed interest for two reasons. In the midst of the riot of colors, the neutrals look ultra - fashionable, al most startling. And, they pro vide just what is needed to set off the vivid hues to great advantage. Beiges often take on more than a hint of yellow and evolve into warm tones of honey and apricot. This blend ing of hues occurs frequently throughout spring fashion, as pinks are influenced by mauve and blue, greens min gle with yellow and yellows and blues with green. Checks, flower garden and paisley prints, glen plaids and giant plaids, dots - from polka to coin in size and stripes represent the most -seen spring patternings. f CASUAL ATTIRE - Favored for casual as well as business attire this spring is this light weight tight-te 1 e s c o p e hat, with velour knit band.

Cordage Important Need of Mariner A fact not recognized by many boating enthusiasts is that next to a boat, cordage is one of the most important needs of the mariner. With the advent of man- made fibers, rope (or "line," as the sailor says) is now tail or-made for superior perform ance in a specific assignment. Lines that float, lines that stretch, lines that don't. For examDle. nylon withtits strength, shock absorbing Qualities, and resistance to marine growth, is ideal for an choring and mooring. However, where the fiber s elastic property is of great advantage for certain applica tions, it is just as much a dis advantage in many other in stances, such as the use for sheets in sailing or for water ski tow ropes. For sheets, non-stretching fibers such as dacron should be chosen. The new linear polyethylene is used for water ski tow lines. Polyethylene rope floats on top of the water, keeping it in view and easily accessible to the skier. Its buoyancy reduces the prob ability of entangling the tow line in the propeller.

Marine Diesels Are Lightweight, Lower Silhouettes In keeping with the grow ing demand for smaller, more compact inboard power plants, the new marine diesel engines are lighter weight with lower silhouettes. In addition, many of the 1959 lines feature smal ler models more suitable for use in sailing auxiliaries and small work boats. Curtiss-Wright, sole United States distributor for the Ger man-built Mercedes-Benz ma rine engines, has four new en gines. The fresh air-cooled models feature -low fuel con sumption and low weight-to- horsepower ratio. Allis-Chalmers 1959 marine diesels include a new light weight 844 cubic inch engine that develops 240 hp at 2,800 rpm and has high horsepower output per gallon of fuel con sumed. Another model is the improved lightweight 85 hp engine that develops 2,800 rpm. The engine runs smooth ly with lack of noise and vi bration and requires a mini mum of maintenance and servicing. Eight New Engines Eight new engines in the vee and in-line series, ideal for either pleasure or work boats, are offered by Detroit Diesel for 1959. The firm says that the new engines were de signed to a new concept of compactness, combined with light weight. The General Mo tors marine engine division's line, ranges in horsepower from 20 to 1,650 for all uses. Two new air-cooled diesels have been introduced by Lis ter Blackstone, English ma rine engine builder. They are the 20 and 30 hp models, both rated at 1,800 rpm. These four stroke diesels are compact, light, economical of operation and require a minimum of servicing. They feature posi tive cooling which is provided by an impeller integral with the flywheel and fan shroud. English Engine Another English marine en gine builder, Peter, is offering a new four-cylinder model for 1959 that weighs 511 pounds and is claimed by the maker to run a full hour on a single gallon of diesel fuel. The en gine is also air cooled. Other models in the new line of one to four cylinder engines de velop up to 20 hp at 3,000 rpm. , Four new diesel engines, imported from Sweden by Volvo Import, are available in the United States for the first time. The new Volvo engines range in horsepower from 11.5 to 46 and eafch has a maximum rpm of 1,500. SINGLE UNIT Ingenious design of this steel pier permits simultaneous activities with a single unit. Diving platform,, sun deck, boat slip and an on-the-water patio make outdoor living and boating more fun than ever before. The all-steel pier is manu factured by Standard Steel Products Manu facturing company, Milwaukee, Wis. ; ' I Boaf Losses Occur From Fire, Explosion The U.S. Coast Guard warns boat owners that the majority of motor boat losses usually occur from either fire or ex plosion. To provide the utmost protection, owners should heed the following safeguards: 1. Gasoline should not be allowed below decks except in the proper fuel tanks. 2. No lighted lantern, spark or flame should be allowed in the engine or fuel compart ments. 3. Engine and fuel compart ments should be ventilated in such a way that five minutes after fueling no gasoline vapor is present. KNITS OF NOTE , Knitted cottons, woolens, worsteds and blends are popu lar in fancy bulky or smooth continental stitches. FAVOR FIT Closer to the body is the fitting trend of spring fash ions, but the "poured-in" look is avoided. Everyone Part of Crew in Boating Boating is the most fun when everyone aboard feels they are a part of the crew. Older children need no urg ing to enjoy their time aboard the family boat It is a perfect opportunity for teaching co operation and practicing doing and sharing. There are any number of details they will enjoy afloat that they would regard as dull duty ashore. Young children needn't ruin anyone's boating fun if you remember, on land or on wat er, they are children and must be treated as such. Safety har nesses for infants is ann excel lent accessory to have along. Toys should be of the floating type. If anything, the open air and the motion of the boat will mean a less fussy dispo sition on the part of the child and, consequently, more care free moments for the. parents.
