Les Art Instruction Discussed For Teachers' Group Developing the general theme, "Strengthening Our Educational P r o g r a m," a group of teachers discussed the trends in art education at a recent meeting of Epsilon chapter of Delta Kappa Gam ma, international society for women teachers. Moderating the panel was Mrs. Helen Gebhard, who was an art teacher in a St. Louis ' High school before coming to ' the Rogue River valley. The first speaker was Miss Dor othy Dymock of Grants Pass, who discussed the teaching of art in the upper elementary grades. She emphasized en joyment as a prime factor of successful art work. She showed self - portraits made by her students, each depict ing the type of person that he thought that he really was. Mrs. Marie Bjorlie, primary teacher in the Ashland schools, said that art is an expression of direct purpose ful experiences. While art is a creative project, yet to be successful it must be directed by the teacher. Miss Ruth Nye, a former art teacher in a Portland High school, stressed the manifold phases of art work: weaving, leather, ceramics, glass, met als, and others, showing ex amples of each. She com mented on the excellent work being done in Oregon schools as evidenced in the annual Scholastic Art association held The concluding speaker was Richard Yates, teacher of art in South Grants Pass Junior High school. He feels that the pendulum is swinging back from the ultra-modern ab straction to representative art and that teachers must stress basic fundamentals instead of creativity. Mrs. Alice Willits, social chairman, was assisted by Mrs. Clara Fader, Miss Eu genia Carson, Dr. Betty Lou Dunlop, and Miss Bertha Stephens.

'Leggy Look' Steals Fashion Show in Italy By SHEILA WALSH United Press nlternational Florence, Italy - (LTD - The Florentine cycle of the Italian spring - summer style show goes into its first full day to day but Tuesday night's curtain-parading of a "long and leggy look" may have stolen the whole show. The Roman fashion houses of Antonelli, Carosa and Schubberth were to share honors today with Guidi, the only Forentine designer to take part in the showing in this renaissance city's Pitti Palace. Rome's shy young man of design Roberto Capucci open ed the high fashion section of the Florence show with a stir Tuesday night. He came up with a long and leggy look that won a standing ovation from an international audi ence of buyers and press in the palace ballroom. Capucci's "W oman of Spring" is sophisticated, dra matic and compact. The elon gated silhouette featured in his collection is long on leg and high on hat. His tunic dresses and suits, with wrist length jackets, ta per smoothly over the hips to knee high hemlines. Capucci tops them off with high, stark ly simple hats shaped like wastebaskets. In another mood, Capucci showed belled and belted tu nics for daytime and evening wear. Most impressive was a lavender three-quarter length tunic with tiny lime polka dots over a lavender under skirt. Capucci also illustrated his law of diminishing under skirts in a strapless, Kelly green short evening --dress. Starting from a firmly belted waist and curved fullness over the hips the five-layer skirt narrows down to a knee tight hemline. Party Announced By Drill Team A public card party spon sored by the drill team of the auxiliary to Crater Lake aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles, will be held at the lodge hall Friday, January 22, at 12:30 p.m. Dessert luncheon will be followed by pinochle.

A three-piece necklace has two bibs of iridescent crystals of seven strands each. One may be dangled in the front while the other dangles down the rear to be caught on the "double take". The garnlt crystals - which shade into tones of grey-can be trans formed into a longer necklace by adding a two-strand brace let which also may be worn separately. The rear accent is a new trend launched by Italian necklace designers to accom pany the return of the bare backed gowns. Carosa's long rope of black crystals is a case in point. It wraps around the neck and ends in swinging pigtails. Luciana's necklaces drip strands of crystals or pearls down the back from a wide gold throat band. Simon- etta catches the eye with a cylinder covered with rhine- stones which she dangles to the rear. But "not all Italian jewelry reflects the sophistication of the early thirties. There are also Victorian motifs, espe cially in the precious and sem-precious import collec tions. A great chunky brace let of polished yellow and red gold-set with huge stones and cabochons-was an award winner in Milan. Other brace lets are trimmer, with lacy finishes and insets of pearls and tiny emeralds. Dog col lar necklaces and chokers featuring hand-made Floren tine mosaics in a brooch-size clasp are also Victorian in feeling, yet exciting with this season's sleek fashions. Novelty jewelry from Italy offers interesting innovations this year. Lightweight ceram ic earrings of geometrical de sign cling to the lobe by mag netic attraction. Neither screws or pinchy clips are needed.

Dr. Luce stated that the symptoms of aneurysms were first described by Hippocra tes, and that Dr. Monez of Lisbon, Portugal, was the first doctor to present papers on the subject, with x-ray pic tures.
