Lon don and Rome, there are no new and startling silhouettes this spring. White and pale shades of beige are popular, but those favorites of former years, navy blue, black and white, and red, were all shown. Dresses with matching or contrasting jackets are on the scene again for spring and summer, skirts were for the most part just below the knee, necklines are sometimes scooped out, both back and front, and outlined with white collars. Many of the pumps and slippers worn by the models were of the new bone or beige shades, but bright colors to match prints and black were also worn.

I i I Window exhibit Harmed As a preview and promise of coming shows, the new Rogue Valley Art association announces a window exhibit of three pieces of artsitic work opening today at Bar ker's store. This is the first such effort of the new asso ciation, formed a few months ago to promote artistic en deavor and appreciation in all phases.

In 1939 he was com missioned to do sculptures, paintings and other work for the Czechoslovak pavilion at the New York World's Fair. For the next 11 years he was in Brazil, where he won great distinction as a sculptor and where he often collaborated with Oscar Niemeyer on im portant commissions. From 1951 to 1958, when he joined the School of Architecture and Allied Art at the Univer sity of Oregon, he lived in Victoria, B.C. Mr. Zach is president of the Northwest In stitute of Sculpture.
