Social : Women's News Ships Said Sen Expensive, Lik By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor St. Thomas, Virgin Islands IUPII A ship, said the captain, is referred to as a "she" be- sr .....aw cause it has acteristics of a woman. "She is sen sitive," said Capt. G u e n- thcr Roessing "Some times she docs what no one expect- oy Pauley ed her to do. "And most of all, she is expensive." Roessing is commander of a ship which during the sum mer plies the Atlantic haul ing tourists between the Colored Shirts Italian Trend; Designs Bold United Press International Darkpr cravats anH colored shirts will be in vogue for fashionable gentlemen next fall. This is a European trend heading for American shores. What s seen, through the per iscope, is neckwear largely dark in background with a splattering of color for effect. And the colored shirts are mostly solid shades. But some have small neat patterns. Italian trends influence you? Then watch for colored silks, fuzzy mohairs, nubby tcxturcd tweeds and velvet upholstery materials. Such were seen at a recent Wash ington exhibition of Italian fabrics. Imaginative design and bold color sense are the marks most often seen among the collection from Italian fab ric artists. The heady look for spring is sea-worthy. It's strictly the sailor look, looming large. Hats suitable for sailing are designed to be worn straddled head-on or tipped to one side. The toppings of highly tex tured straws are decked with ribbon. Sliding along at top speed are longer tunic length belted parkas and tow coats meant for the ski set. Interest in nov elty fabrics considered worthy of the snowy hills is indicated by the use of printed and solid corduroy, wool tapestries and jacquard weaves on cotton duck. And reinforcing the out look for. a bright ski season are high colors shown In both parkas and stretch pants. Two generations ago, it was strictly pink' for girl babies and nothing but blue for the boys. But spring, 1961, upsets the traditional buggy. Fashions for toddlers run the gamut of tones from orchid and yellow to bittersweet for girls ami willow green to red or brown for boys. Last Meeting Of Hoover PTA Said Unusual The lost meeting of Hoover Parent Teacher , association was unusual in that more men than women were in attend ance. ' , " Lee Ragsdale spoke' - on "Physical Education In the Medford Schools",' and sttow ed slides - on the-study of growth development of the grade school child; This pro gram is now in its sixth year and is used to determine the affects of athletics in the grade school. The rest of the nation and several foreign countries have taken a keen interest in this study that is sponsored by the University of Oregon physical education department, he said. In recognition of Founders' day, the . PTA presented the school with a plaque listing the past presidents. The presi dent, Mrs. A. J. Johannson, introduced the past presidents of the Hoover unit; they are Mrs. Emerson Anderson, and Mrs. Richard Knoll. Appointed and elected to serve on the nomination com mfttcc were Mrs. Ray Menckc, chairman, appointed by the executive board; and Mrs. P. F. Braincrd and Mrs. Gerald Gastincau, elected by the membership. Roy Gilbertson, principal, is automatically a member of this committee. Mrs. Jerry McDougall, leg islation chairman, gave a brief resume on bills current ly in the Oregon Legislature that have to do with educa tion. Opening flag ceremonies and the pledge, of allegiance were led by Cub "Scout Dn 3. Fathers attending this meet ing that was especially plan ned for them received double count. Room count was won 4f M Events sitive, e Women United States and Europe. But during the winter months, the passenger list is trimmed to about half of capacity and the ship makes a series of luxury cruises into the West Indies and touches on South America. It would seem a sufficient ly demanding job for a cap tain to "boss a woman" all 32,335 tons of her. But in talking with Roessing, you find that running the ship and a crew of nearly 600 is only part of a captain's job. He also is the personal representative of his line in relations with travelers. He must mingle, .like a good host, on deck, in the dining room, at ship's parties, and must also preside at a few gather ings of his own. "A ship's captain has to slice himself into two pieces," said Roessing, a genial man in his late SOs. "On an Atlantic crossing, about 75 per cent of him goes to the ship, the other 25 per cent to the pas sengers. "On a cruise, the division is 50-50." "But," he added after a mo ment, "the ship and safety of the passengers always takes consideration over socializ ing." Passengers In a cruise are more demanding than those on Atlantic crossings, he said. "On a cruise, you have 650 persons who want a gay time, want to arrive at port of call exactly on time, want time then to shop, and expect sun shine every day," he said. If they re a couple, they w,ant the ship's personnel to make sure they meet other congenial couples. If they're single, they expect to meet other single people. The cap tain didn't want to talk, though, about his abilities as a matchmaker. . There is rarely a dull voy age, he said. In his 40' years at sea, currently as captain of North German Lloyd's "TS Bremen," Roessing has coped with stowaways, maternity cases and even a dog tempor arily without a country which traveled , with the ship for four round trips until his owner finally got the ne cessary entry papers., Rainbow Girls Presented Pins Jacksonville - Merit pins and bars were presented to 11 members of Warren assembly, Order of Rainbow for Girls, at a meeting Monday, February 6, in the Masonic temple.
