So far, re searchers hav come up with rubber that "breathes," new formulations of cotton, wool, and man-made fibers that look and feel like convention al materials. The new non- wovens are made by binding fibers together with adhesives, liquid sprays or baths of plas tic, eliminating the warp and woof required in regular weaving. The fabric has less tendency to sag, stretch or shrink and can be made soft, firm, thick or thin. Currently, the disposable clothing is be ing tested for doctors, nurses and others requiring a daily change of uniform. - Getting caught in a shower is getting less hazardous each season. Now, both shirts and dresses are water repellant. The idea for the "rain shirt' and "rain dress" comes from Haymaker, which ran up a whole group for fall in treat ed, solid color cottons. Both shirt and dress button up the front and come with matching rain hats. The trade publication Wom en's Wear Daily reports a new jewelry trend for the mink clad set; tiny, gold mink clips from Paris. They retail for $200 to $465. Fall hats will make a wom an look like one of the boys. The mannish trend, which will be found in suits, will carry over to daytime hats. But the masculine styling will be softened by rippling brims and supple fabrics. Look for felt bowlers, high - crowned cloches, fedoras, and slouch hats. Grey, green and green gold will be popular colors, often lightened with contrast ing bands or bows. Hostess Announced For Welcome Wagon Mrs. Margaret Dix, super vising hostess for Welcome Wagon, Inc., has announced the appointment of Mrs. Jack Sanborn, 2180 Capitol avenue, as an assistant hostess for this area.

PTA Seeks Improved TV Programs Chicago-The National Parent-Teacher, offical voice of nearly 12 million PTA mem bers, Monday called on the television industry for "better fare than we are getting on TV, or at least a wider choice." Its September issue inaugu rates a continuing evaluation of television programs by which the National Congress "seeks to convert the mount ing protests against shoddy TV programing into intelli gent discussion that can be helpful both to the TV indus try and to the viewing pub lic." Emphasizing that "we . are not setting ourselves up as a censor," the magazine's editor, Eva H. Grant, explains that the TV evaluations are in tended to provide guidance long sought by state congress es of parents and teachers and by individual PTA members. "Our job is to protect? chil dren from whatever may ham them," states an intro ductory editorial. "No one can deny that much research is required to determine the effects of TV on children. Yet when reason and intuition tell us that programs filled with violence and vulgarity may be hurtful to children, must we wait for statistical and clinical proof? "We are weary of being told that although a steady diet of aggression and vio lence may be harmful to chil dren, there is no evidence that it really is. We are also skep tical . of the argument that blood-and - thunder programs have a healthful effect be cause they siphon off a child's natural hostility. We believe there are less brutalizing out lets for childish hostility than vicarious mayhem and. mur der." , The initial evaluations in clude 12 programs which range from first-rate to offen sive in the opinion of pioneer PTA viewing panels. These pilot groups were or ganized with the cooperation of the Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachers, in the widely-scattered Illinois cities of Belleville, Carmi, Clinton, Freeport and Oak Park. CONFORMITY WANES New York-(UPD-The urge to "keep up with the Joneses" is fading. . Delegates to the Second An nual Congress on Better Liv ing made it clear that their homes reflect the family per sonality, meeting needs of family first-and Jones last, if ever. Even in devising color themes and schemes for inte riors, the trend is to select colors for their psychological effect upon members of the family, and also because the colors are liked rather than because they are fashionable. To Bare, Or Knee is Fash ' By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris - (CPU The news pic tures of this year's Paris fash ions were released for general publication today. And the world's women can decide for themselves whether they like the idea of bared knee-caps. The actual showings were held a month ago. But, under the rules set up by the syndi cate that controls Paris high fashion, no one was permit ted to publish photographs of new styles until now. The big battle this time was over the kneecap. Should it be bared or covered? Virtually all the Paris dress makers, whose fall and winter dresses soon will be available in copies to American wom en, showed skirts thai dis creetly covered that part of the female anatomy. But the pace-setting House of Dior that made its name in 1947 by dropping skirts to the "new look" ankle length decided to be different. To Kneecap and Above Dior's designer, Yves Ma thieu Saint-Laurent, hiked up hemlines to the kneecap and above. He had with him in the shorter skirt, camp Span ish designer Cristobal Balen ciaga. He lifted skirt lengths to one inch below the knee cap. ' The House of Dior bucked' virtually every fashion trend that the other custom dress makers established. The Dior silhouette had natural sleeves and shoulders. And ropes of besds worn close to the neck often substituting for collars. ' The o t h er dressmakers widened sleeves and shoulders and gave collars and cowls great importance. The House of Dior left waists where they should be. Other Paris dressmakers dropped them, slightly in line with the long torso line that swept most of the collections. The House of Dior flounced, flared and ballooned skirts to give them the dramatically shorter-sometimes above the kneecap-hobble skirt 'look. Most dressmakers left skirts slim and long and concen trated on the changing of the silhouette around the shoul der. Even the House of Dior's evening gowns were dramati cally slashed up to the knee cap. Most other designers, in cluding the imaginative Ba lenciaga, brought back floor Slim and Shapely 9059 SIZES 10-18 Figure-hugging sheath with a fluid back that's softly flar ed to give new grace to the way you walk or turn; Simple for afternoon, exciting for evening in crepe, satin, faille.

Several Common Features Despite these divergent ten dencies, there were certain features that ran through all the collections. Daytime dresses were easy fitting. Many were two-pieced in effect. Tunic dresses were prominent. Suits" outnumbered dresses for daytime wear. Most of them had longer jackets and accentuated shoulders. Many were trimmed in fur. Some had removable capes and broad belts. Suit skirts-even at Dior's-tended to be slim and straight. The House of Nina Ricci, which last season started the return of the long er torso line, showed particu larly handsome suits of this type. , Coat$ were voluminous. Many for both day and eve ning were reversible. Some had sleeves so wide that the models were able to show them by tucking their arms into the sleeves in criss-cross fashion. Colors-except at the House of Dior-tended to be subdued. 'Swap' Night Set For Club An old-fashioned '-swap" night for both members and gues,ts has been planned for the next meeting of the South ern Oregon Stamp club. It will be held Thursday, September 3, in the Girls Community club, 229 North Bartlett street, Medford, at 8 p.m. The eve ning will provide an oppor tunity for stamp collectors in this area to turn their dupli cate philatelic material into new additions for their col lections. A business meeting is also planned. As usual the meeting is open to everyone interested in this hobby. Refreshments will be served. Sathers Return From California. Mr. and Mrs. T. C.

The main problem is glare, says the American Home Lighting Institute. Over a period of time, the difference in lighting levels and quality can contribute to eye-strain with resulting headaches and dizziness, the institute said. To correct the situation, the institute offers this guide to lighting an average - sized room (125 to 225 square feet) used for study and recreation al purposes: Have at least one ceiling fixture 15 to 17 inches in diameter, accom modating either five 40-watt bulbs or four 50-watt bulbs. Put a hanging fixture that can be moved up or down over the child's work desk or table. This fixture should have 100 watts in incandesc ent bulks. Install a cornice or valance shielding fluorescent tubes on the desk. The . installation should be 8 to 12 feet in length. To minimize glare, be sure a good diffusing material shields incandescent bulbs in the fixtures. In addition, check the surface of the work desk for reflection. Desk tops that reflect light into the child's eyes should be dulled, or covered with a blotter. t For an unusual salad, toss hot cooked and cubed sweet potatoes in equal amounts of French dressing and white wine. Let svir: d until cold. Salt to taste and add other seasonings such as dried dill, parsley or a little grated on ion. Serve with hot or cold ham. day trip? leave the THAN YOU THINK!

When you reah it, set another goal, higher. -Learn to work first; learn ing then comes easily. -Be human. Everyone you'll ever work with or for, is. -Be first to, see your mis takes and first to admit them. This makes them harder to repeat. Recognize and respect the rights of others. This is the root of self-respect. ; -Keep a creed, an ethic. A man without these is no man.

Good This Fall By MARGUERITE DAVIS United Press International Chicago -UPD- New decora tive accessories for fall will bring autumn colors indoors. No single style trend pre-: dominated, but orange was the important color for. acces sories displayed recently at the Merchandise Mart here. Tangerine and bittersweet were the most fashionable shades. Next came the combi nations of blue and green, tur quoise, the yellows, melon and gold. Lavenders, lilies and helio trope hues from the pale pink lavender to deep blue-purple also were extremely popular. One showroom displayed a large collection of contempor ary Danish and Italian ceram ics vases, bowls, table light ers, ash trays and cigarette boxes. They came in varying hues and depths of heliotrope, the shades blending with one another like flowers. Three graduated-size bowls of blown glass, that look like a tapered bottle when stacked, come in either orange or tur quoise. There also was a 15 inch solid tangerine contem porary vase of Venetian glass. Another Venetian glass vase, shaped in the form ol a smooth basket, is shaded fro.n one color at the base to anotl er in the handle - amber tc green, blue to amethyst, or chartreuse to blue-green. For the kitchen there were turquoise enamel cookware from France and orange enamel-on-cast-iron from Denmark.
