Parents Make
School Study
"Know Your High School"
is to be the theme of pro
grams to be presented for St.
Mary's High School Parents'
club for the remainder of the
year, according to Jay Elliott,
president.
The programs are to be
based on questions asked by
the parents about the high
school. Mrs. James Miller is
chairman of the committee
in charge of the programs.
The first was presented at the
January meeting and answer
ed the question. "In what
ways are St. Mary's High
School students being pre
pared for higher education?"
The answers were handled
by the students themselves
with Tony Marshall as mod
erator. Each student took spe
cific colleges and briefly out
lined necessary requirements
for entry and explained
how these requirements were
being met by St. Mary's.
Taking part in the program
were Anne Haviland, Lynne
Parsons, Marilyn Martin, Ron
old Daley, Jere Randolph,
Tom Tom jack, Don Davy and
Tony Marshall.
All these students are sen
iors. The principle business of
the meeting was a fund-raising
project which was dis
cussed by the ways and means
chairman, James Pullman.
The senior class won the
room count.

Nation's Retailers Show
Much Faith in Teenagers
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-(UPD-A ' growing
number of the nation's retail
ers show supreme faith in our
teenagers, they encourage
them to open' charge accounts.
"And why not?", said A. L.
Trotta, direct
or of the Cre
d i t Manage
ment division
of the. Na

tail Associa
tion. "We are
living in a
Zi credit . econo

"We look
Gay Panley
on the charge
account as an educational tool
to help teach the proper use
of credit. After all, credit is
nothing more than integrity
Like a budget. Or an allow
ance."
irotto explained that as
early as 1948 some states ex
perimented with teen credit
plans, and the number has
expanded steadily although

IN A WHIRL
New York - (m - A fash

store has figure ' out a way
to rush one-of-a-kind pieces
to branch customers. It uses
helicopters.
The 'copters unload dia
monds, pearl necklaces, and
sterling silver at parking lots
adjacent to the branch stores.
Complete frozen dinners
in single-serving size feature
creamed chicken, swiss steak
with brown gravy, and maca

Whipped potatoes and peas
go with the chicken, whip

with the steak, and diced

the meatless meal.

V'S-i?- ;i;?i;-:l
p - :
of the number.
However, Seventeen Maga
zine last March mailed a ques
tionnaire on the subject to a
representative group of stores
in 48 states. Of the 264 stores
which replied, 12 per cent of
fered credit to teens but had
no specific program; another
20 per cent had a separate
plan.
Plan names included "Teen
Time," "JPA" Junior Person
al Account, "Tab" Teen-Age
Budget, "Keen Teen," and
"16-21 Club."
Also Found
The study also found that:
-The median age for eligi
bility was between 14 and 15,
with some stores permitting
charges for 12 yearolds, and
most setting the top limit at
20.
-Most popular type of cre
dit offered was the revolving,
regular 30-day charge.
-Many stores applied a dol
lar limit to the amount charg
ed, the median set at S30.
-Most stores reported teen
agers as honest as adults, with
few bad debt losses.
-Most stores considered the
accounts successful.
-The majority of stores re
quire parental approval be
fore opening the account, but
most do not require parents to
guarantee payment.
Parental reaction has been
good to excellent.
Other Comments ,
The magazine said store
comments included:
"A wonderful good will
builder."
"Today's teen-ager is tomor
row's housewife and-or family
head; schmaltzy but true."
"Losses ran rather high un
til we insisted on parents co
signing." Trotta said, however, that
stores now were getting away
from requiring parents to co-
sign, because teeners want to
feel that they are adult
enough to take responsibility
for paying their debts out of
allowances and-or earnings.
Stores do feel that parents
should know a youngster has
a charge.
The NRMA executive, fath
er of two teen-age daughters
who have charge accounts,
said that girls mostly use the
credit plans, "boys seem less
concerned."
He added that "women do
most of the buying in .this
country today, and these teen
agers awfully soon are Mrs.
Somebody. I believe govern
ment statistics show that 50
per cent of our female popula
tion marries in its teens."

Creative Italian Designers
Produce Interesting Shoes
Rome Italians have been
pace setters for the world in
the creation of fine shoes. And
this season the designers seem
more creative than ever, the
moods ranging from, classic
elegance to the tongue-in-cheek
fun.
The fresh fashion news in
shoe styles centers on novelty
heels that sent eyebrows soar
ing at the showings in Rome
and Florence. Imaginative
Italian designers used every
thing from metal rings to hour
glasses to produce some of
the most exotic shoes since
16th century Italian nobles
donned platform stilts. There
are heels of sculptured white
plastic inset with gems, three
pronged jeweled towers of
glittering metal, arid even
heels that seem to be resting
on thin air their slim sup
port of a steel tongue built
into the . sole of the shoe and
extending downwards under
the instep.
Buttons Return
Other news from Rome
headlines the return of the
old-fashioned . shoe button.
Rows of tiny black nubbins
or white flat pearls are used
to trim dress pumps and slip
pers. '
But Fontana and other ma
jor designers who look to the
American market are using
their talents" for far more than
conversation pieces - at haut
couture collections. The slen
der pump with its tapered
heel and pointed toe is still
the favorite Italian contribu
tion to our return to elegance
in footwear. Fontana deftly
uses peak tongues, gilt scrol
ling, and eyelet scallops to
provide a new look to her
graceful dressmaker pumps.
Fontana uses two-inch heels
for daytime, three inches for
cocktails, and up to three and
one-half inches for evening
wear. Other Italian designers
are offering extravagant four
inch heels on handmade dress
pumps now being shown in
suede, .matte-finish kW7 or
luxurious calf. The slightly
oval toe, another Italian pace
setter, is being seen more and
more this season.

A Fine
Very
Biggest Clothes
Race Opening
By PAT HERMAN
United Prasi International
Paris - (DPS - The world's
biggest clothes - horse race
started here Monday.
The week-long marathon is
known more conventionally
as the showing of the spring
and summer Paris dress col
lections by the world's top
dressmakers.
Lucy Manguin .will start the
showings.
She will be followed by
dressmakers Jacques - Griffe,
Jean Patou, Gres and Pierre
Cardin. On Tuesday come
Pierre Balmain, Jacques Heim
and Nina Ricci.
The heat and excitement
will ' build up until Wednes
day when the House of Dior
puts its entries on display.
Usually this house shows on
Thursday. By presenting its
entries a day earlier it has
stepped up the tempo here to
a feverish pace.
Among those to follow the
Dior entries will be Guy La
Roche, Madeleine de Rauch
and Michel Gomanon Thurs
day, and Jean Dressess, Lan-vin-Castillo
and Chanel on
Friday.
Independent - minded dress
makers Balenciaga and Gi
venchy will show on Monday.
Most fashion experts pre
dict a skirt length similar to
last year's and a silhouette
not drastically different from
last season's Princess silhou
ette, but more supple.
The mighty House of Dior
was tightlipped about reveal
ing anything other than the
time of its presentation.
Manguin also maintained a
silence on her entries.
Here is a rundown on some
of the others: .
Griffe: A long, supple line.
Longer suit jackets worn with
accompanying blouses. Light
weight fabrics. Shoulders
slightly widened. Hips ac
centuated. Navy blue and
mandarine orange favorite
colors.
Patou: Dresses with normal
waistline and shoulders but
elongated torso. Suits with
little short or long below the
American tempo, elegance is
not the only thing a busy
woman is concerned with in
accumulating her shoe ward
robe. She is far more interest
ed in comfort during what
is mistakenly referred to as
her "leisure" . hours. Here
again Italian craftsmen pro
vide the answer. Those won
derful casuals, supple as cir
cus aerialists, light as bal
loons are now classics on this
side of the Atlantic.
For a day of shopping,
Salvatore Ferragamo's low
heeled envelope pumps are as
flattering to a tailored cus-
tume as they are impervious
to mileage. So are the glove
like Amalfis with their high
vamp and trim side lacing.
Stacked leather heels are
important in casuals, varied
by little heels in the shape of
a tear drop or even a dia
mond. Toes are squared away
and sometimes snub. High
rising tongues are trimmed
with straps, buckles, or metal
rings. One popular import by
Freddelle of Italy is dubbed
a turtleneck. It hugs the foot
with an elastic cuff. Suede is
the favorite for the tweed and
cashmere set, especially with
those rich fall colors ranging
through the tobacco shades to
russet, olive green, gold, and
flamingo. Calf and textured
leather are shown.
Guests Here
Mr. and Mrs. Doyle B.
Starcher were guests briefly
last week of Mr. Starcher's
brother and sister-in-law, Mr.

1570 Stage Road south.

afternoon.
They continued south Fri
