Htdiaa Trapp Family Book Reviewed I For Study Club Ashlana The heart-warm- story of the famous Trapp family was chosen for review by Mrs. I. F. Andres when she presented highlights from the book, "A Family on Wheels," at the Monday aft ernoon meeting of Ashland Study club. Hostess was Miss Gertrude Engle, 534 Siskiyou bouldevard. By strange coincidence Mrs. Andres had recicved the first of the Trapp family books, 'The Trapp Family Singers," in the same house more than 10 years ago. As told by Maria, mother of the talented singing troupe, experiences of their first days in America after fleeing from Austria are followed by epi sodes on concert tours and at their home in the Vermont hills. 'Sound of Music" the Rog ers and Hammerstcin Broad way success in which Mary Martin starred, has brought the Trapp family story to mil lions. From the royalties, mis sion work In New Guinea was established in 1958 and per sonally administered by sev eral of the family. In Maria's book are record ed the gay and the sad, the triumphs and the disappoint ments, intermingled with hu mor and drama as the cour ageous family surmounted obstacles In the new homeland. From their escape in 1939 when the von Trapps fled Austria and arrived in New York with a total of $4 in their combined pockets, the saga is a tale of travel by big blue bus and of establish ment of the summer family music camp at their Stowe, Vt farm, to the final family concert at Town Hall whore they had given their first concert. It was through their gen erosity that 300,000 pounds of supplies were shipped to Aus trian war sufferers. Ironical ly the 'refuge family was in vited back to Salsburg to sing at the world.famed festival 12 years after they had escaped the Nazi scourge, over tne years it was Maria, the moth er, and Father Wasner. their spiritual and musical mentor, who guided the unique group along the road to internation al renown. "Cabinet Wives was the subject, of Mrs. Markus Woods . half-hour talk and was based on several recent articles In newspapers and magazine's. The timely topic was made, additionally Inter esting by a series of colored illustrations of the Washing ton group. Mrs. Thornton Shlvely was welcomed to membership in Ashland Study club during the business session that was conducted by the president, Mrs. Wilmer M. Poley. The next meeting March 6 will be held at the home, of Mrs. R. Drew Lamb. Mrs. Elizabeth Sommer will give the book review and Mrs. Harold Merrill will have the selected subject. One-fourth to one-half tea spoon of salad dressing mix added to a baked potato with butter makes it extra tasty. FREE! FREE! WOMEN!

Tourists Find Caribbean Is Big Bargain Basement By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor ' Port-Au-Prince, Haltir IUPII -The Caribbean is just one big bargain basement with every vacationer on a s h o p p i ng spree, It looks just like a day be- f o r e Christ- m a s back home, the way the shops ar e jammed every time a cruise ship ties up in port.

I've heard several husbands reminding their wives that President Kennedy "is trying to stop the drain on the U.S. dollar," and about traveler's checks running out as their wives spot bargains, But I also noticed the com plainant usually had added another camera or had pairs ot binoculars swinging around his neck-the pair he,brought from home and the pair he found in Curacao, "So cheap, I. figured I couldn't miss. , " It was at Curacao, one of the lovelist spots in the Carib bean and one of the best shop ping centers, ,that one of the ship's officers took a 'rather startled look at passengers re turning with filled ' shopping bags. "It looks," he quipped, "as if we'll have to throw over the cargo net." Most Ports "Free" The bargains are in both the native handicrafts and im ports from Central American and European countries, and from Japan. The lower price tag is made possible because most ports are "free." The local government collects no duties or other taxes on the goods which are sold to vis itors. On most Items, this means anywhere from one third to 60 per cent less than you'd pay for the product in the United States. But -one word of caution to a free port shop per-buy brands you know and from reputable shops. Most island governments publish a tourist guide to shops, or the cruise director or hostess also can advise what to look for and what to avoid The first purchase ,of the Caribbean vacationer inevit ably is a straw hat-gaily dec orated, and often as not made in Italy The Caribbean might well be called the straw center of the world-straw is made into hats of all sizes, and shapes lor coin men ana women, into mats for table or floor, into sandals, handbags and straw hampers. The second purchase Inevit ably is a set of bongo drums their rhythm sounds enchant ing when a native is thumping it out, but I wonder whether neighbors in my New York apartment house will appre ciate it. Buy French Perfume Women tourists stock up on French perfume, on silks, woolens, linens, cashmere sweaters, alligator bags and other leather goods, on kid gloves, silver, crystal, china, beaded evening bags, and spe cially here in Port-au-Prince, on mahogany which is carved into everything from stat uettes to salad bowls. For the men, there are famous-make Swiss watches, bi noculars and camera equip ment from West Germany and Japan, sporting goods, leather goods including san dals, linen shorts, wild-pat terned island sports shirts. and cigars, ciragette and pipe tobacco. In Port-au-Prince, the shop per doesn't even have to go ashore to buy. "Floating stores"-rowboat9-filled with coconuts, mahogany and bon go drums, come out to meet the ship. It's a rare tourist also who somewhere along the way doesn't order his quota of duty-free liquor or liqueurs. Most of the liquors and liq ueurs also . are about nau state-side trice. Spring Brings Changes In Suit, Coat Fashions Los Angeles Changes ' are in the air in coat and suit fashions for Spring. They are' not radical nor world-shak-! ing, just different enough for milady to feel she is really wearing something new. Textures of the wool fab rics are often spongy and rather thick in appearance but actually light and airy. Both coats and suits follow this trend in baskety, meshy weaves with float yarns add ing surface interest, and lacy, fluffy weaves that may have tiny mohair curls spaced or lightly frosting the entire surface. Diagonals are in creasingly important as is worsted ottoman with ribs from tiny to bold, close or spaced. Tussah weaves, eponges, bouclets abound in the less textured . woolens. Knits or knit-effects are very important both in coats and suits.-The entire trend in fab rics is to non-creasing, light and comfortable weaves, long wearing and colorful. ' Colors are lively and clear, with an exciting pink up front in the parade. Yellows are important, also,- ranging from creamy ' tones like lem on ice to strong daffodil and goldenrod, greens from a whitened pistachio ,up the color range to strong emerald and Kelly. Vivid cobalt blue looks new again; lilacs, vio lets, and wisterias continue. String beiges, oatmeals, and wiuvca etc a.iungci wiou i many a season, pf ten com-, binea wnn eacn omer ana with other colors. Checks Up Front Checks step up front, in coats, .notably giant hounds tooth, racing,, even big tatlor salls. . These , most often com bine bright colors with white or off-white, sometimes using several ; colors, sometimes just one. There are also many plaids but the checks have the edge . . . bias plaids, how ever, are in the news. Suits, too love checks, favoring clear, open types and includ ing white and pale tones checked .over with fine lines of black or other deep colors. Both coats and suits tend to be roomy in cut, often are collarless, and not infrequent ly are almost sleeveless, as well ... at least, may end above the elbow. The collar less trend does not mean plain, round . "jewelry" neck lines. It means many exciting and different treatments such as stand-up bands, built up cardigans, collars emanating from shoulder seams and just across the back; scarf ends tied various ways; bands that end in bow ties under the chin and others. Conversely, there are many very important collars, espe cially on suits. The trend to big, wide coats increases, often with emphasis on top width, drop shoulder lines, unmounted sleeves, deep cut armholes. Some have almost cape-like fullness in back with indication of a waistline in front arid sides. Pockets are big, roomy and perhaps set rather low with a Martin gale belt swinging from them across the back. Some real capes are shown but tnis is not a strong trend so far Lengths vary widely, with 27 to 36 inch lengths on the increase and the seven-e'ghth length also popular, although the full length still leads. Often the shorter ones are made without closing, a sort of toss-on for a chilly day. Suit jackets vary even more widely in length rang ing from bolero, 'waist, hip bone to the tunic and walk ing lengths. Jackets are often shaped in a bit in front, straight in back. Big buttons are a feature, so are con cealed closings, and button less 'Chanel type jacket con tinues. Asymmetric and side closings are important. Skirts with pressed or unpressed pleats show considerable Lamb Combination . . . New York (UPD- Lamb and vegetable casserole is an easy-to-make one-dish meal. Cook one pound of ground lamb over low heat, stirring oc casionally, until browned. Drain drippings. Combine the meat with a 10-ounce package of frozen mixed vegetables, thawed, salt and pepper to taste, and a lO'fc-ounce can of condensed tomato soup. Ar range in a greased 1',4-quart casserole, top with two cups of seasoned mashed potatoes, and bake 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Serves four. Piquant beets: Try this tangy combination with a: baked or broiled ham dinner.: When making Harvard beets add crushed pineapple. Allow three-fourths cup of crushed pineapple to one pound of cooked or canned Harvard beets. - Cheat Date Filling New York - (UPD . - . Cream cheese date filling is delicious with warm gingerbread. PU and slice one-half cup of freslr dates. Beat two three-ounco packages ; of cream cheese until soft. Beat in one-fourth cup of orange marmalade and one-eighth teaspoon of salt. Fold in dates and one-half cup of whipping cream, stiffly beaten. Serve between and on top of squares of gingerbread cut from an 8-or-9-inch cake. gains and the general trend is toward ease in even slim skirts through soft gathers at or just below the waistline. Costumes abound suits have their own blouses, wes kits or dickies; coats have companion suits or , dresses. Sometimes the fabric and pattern are the same,- again matching - large and small patterns combine and now and then three or four tones of a color, will be blended ef fectively in the various pieces. - , .
