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.

t
gin Islands, first port of call,
and has kept the pace through
Martinique, Curacao, Panama,
Montego Bay and here.
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

Piquant beets: Try this
tangy combination with a:
baked or broiled ham dinner.:
When making Harvard beets

three-fourths cup of crushed
pineapple to one pound of

gains and the general trend
is toward ease in even slim
skirts through soft gathers at
or just below the waistline.
Costumes abound suits

Sometimes the fabric and
