Nehru's Coat Is Latest Influence on Fashions By GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York-d'Pli-Coats worn by Prime Minister Nehru of India are copied so often in fall and win t e r fashions for women that the office wag de- 4 cided "Nehru f should win this year's fashion critics Ma award.'' The Gay Pauley award goes to to the one person tradition ally a designer who by vote of about 75 fashion writers representing wire services, syndicates, dailies and fashion magazines, is called the most influential on styles in any given year. Seventh Avenue Garment manufacturers don't call it the Nehru coat. They call it the Ra?ah. In silhouette, when a true copy of the prime min ister's garb, it is single-breast- if DOWNTOWN MLDWW LAUNDROMAT S!STEWMU ll'!lL.. -c -5-AVE '1 J II 1 1 ed, buttoned center front from its narrow standup collar and hangs tunic fashion to the knees. Started by Tour The term Rajah first began to be heard in designer and manufacturer circles after Mrs. John F. Kennedy's tour of India and Pakistan earlier this year. Several of her costumes had the Rajah silhouette with var iations no collar, for in stance, buttons only to the waist and made, of course, in feminine colors and fabrics. The same variations of the coat of an Asian potentate showed on Seventh Avenue where it's January in June as the manufacturers show, and sell, buyers fashions for the next season. Most of the pace-setter lines already have been seen. And here, head to toe, is how they decree the stylish women will be dressing come cold weath er: Hair Smoother Head-Smoother hair styles, with the bouffant look out, the "marienbad" in. The' lat ter is short, flat, with a plas of bangs swept across the fore head, almost hiding it. Nam ed for the hairdo worn by the star of the movie "Last Year at Marienbad." Hats, plenty of turbans and a lot of hats titled to a dizzy angle on the side of the head. Hats on models in the show rooms mostly were large. Fur hats, plentiful. Neck - Muffled. Designers show long, rectangular scarves of fur or of the same fabric as the costmue looped up to the chin. Or wide collars turn up to shut out winter breezes. Shoulders-In coats and suits about evenly divided between the natural, curved line and sleeves set in for slight raise, like the sleeve treatment of a man's jacket. Sleeves - Long again on coats and suits, hitting wrist bone instead of stopping at mid-forearm. Sleeveless, on dresses paired with coats and jackets. Bodice-Natural line to most clothes, although some of the Rajah coats have a high-rise to the bosom the way the but tons are set on or the way the garment is stitched. Waistline Natural Waistline-Natural, frequent ly belted, as in the case of the trench coat being copied even for evening. Not cinched in so -far as most daytime clothes are concerned. Many designers favor the princess silhouette which shapes in at New Group . For Girls Organized The Sunbeam troop toured the Medford airport June 19 with their leader, Miss Esther Long. After the tour the girls enjoyed a picnic lunch at TouVelle park. The Sunbeams are a group of young girls, ages 6 to 10 years, sponsored by the Sal vation Army. It is an inter national organization and is similar to the Brownies and the Bluebirds. Though it is sponsored by the Salvation Army any girl interested who is in the age range may )oin. The group recently was organ ized in Medford. Groups for other ages are the Girl Guards for those those 10 to 13 years, and the Senior Guards with the age range from 14 o 18 years. These organizations are simi lar to the Girl Scouts or the Campfire Girls. 'The Sunbeam program Is designed to help each girl be happy, useful person, to build a love for God and to grow into adulthood as a use ful citizen," according to the leader. Thus begins as they learn to plav and work with others. contribute their best to their troop and try to live accord ing to the Sunbeam pledge, "Do Right." Anyone who would like further information about the group may contact Miss Long, 773-6049. 1 From San Mateo Hornbrook - Mrs. Floyd Burns made a trip recently to San Mateo, Calif., to bring home her grand daughter, Renee' and Piper Stickney while their mother, Mrs. Juanice Stickney, spent a two weeks' vacation in the Hawaiian Islands. The chil dren are staying in Hill with their other grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Van De Weghe, who plan to take them back to San Mateo this week. Every year when we see the blossoms at Medford Rose society's annual show, Potpourri vows to try harder to grow show roses. We decide to prune, water, spray, disbud and do all the other things which we presume other gardeners do to produce such gorgeous flowers. But another year comes and somehow, we never seem to change our ways. Pappy does most of the pruning, and we try to keep up with the spray schedule and some of the other chores. But when show time arrives, we never seem to have anything in the garden that looks like it would be worthy of exhibiting. Some year, too, we'd like to be able to see the flowers as soon as the show is open to the public. Since the event is on Saturday, and that is the busiest day of all for the news hens at the Tribune, it's always evening by the time we get to tour the show. For instance, this Crimson Glory blossom won the title Queen of Show, and it was said to be a truly gorgeous blossom when it was so judged. But the day was warm and there was a breeze through the cafeteria windows, and before evening, the once beautiful flower was wilted. I sweet scent which w found delightful but some believe Is somewhat overpowering. Some of the stalks are as high as a man's head, and are loaded with blossoms. We fancied the flowers were somewhat smaller and the petals more delicate than those we had found in the Ashland loop area, but the books list only the one tall, white lily in this area. One author points out that they are in danger of becoming extinct since so many have found them irresistible and dig the bulbs either for transplanting into private gardens or for sale. (This morning we read further about the Washington lily, and found that Haskin lists several other names, saying that it is unfortunate that it has no commonly accepted name throughout its range, which is from the Columbia river southward throughout the Cascade and Sierra Nevada moun tains. He writes that it is known as the Mount Hood lily, as the Shasta lily, in southern Oregon as the Mount Pitt lily and in the Central Willamette valley as the Santiam lily. "In intermediate points it bears other local names, each region hoping thus to gain virtue by adopting this flower as its own.") In addition to being an amateur gardener, Mrs. Guches also is a song writer. She composed the pear blossom song which 'was sung during the annual Pear Blossom festival last April, and has also written other songs which are used on some of the valley radio and television stations. A few years ago daughter sent us a subscription to that unique publication The Carolina Israelite written, and pub lished by that equally unique personality, Harry L. Golden. Harry Golden's articles are pungent, earthy, homey and filled with wisdom of a sort not often found. In the March-April issue we found this little item, tucked into a corner at the bottom of a column. "Queen Liliuokalani, the last ruler of Hawaii, described the history of her islands in one brief, succinct paragraph. 'When the American missionaries came to Hawaii, we had the land and they had the Bible. When the American missionaries left Hawaii, they had the land and we had the Bible' ."-O.S.

I Last Sunday we had one answer to our question about j whether gardens isolated from others would have aphis and earwigs and the other pests that drive gardeners to distrac tion. The two of us spent the day at our woodlot on the ! south fork of Little Butte creek, and after our picnic lunch, went calling upriver to see our neighbors, Art and Bertha Guches. Mr. and Mrs. Guches, who are lucky enough to have beautiful little Grizzly creek flowing through their property, have a secluded flower garden so we asked Mrs. G. if they had many insects. She said there were no aphis or earwigs, but that some pesky little black beetle creatures did some damage. Potpourri throughly enjoyed a tour of the Guches' gar den. To hold down damage from flooding, they terraced the banks of the creek near the cabin with river rocks. In the garden are many of the flowers to be found in yards in the valley - roses, carnations, petunias and zinnias, and also some of the native plants which grow naturally in the area. Among the latter are the lovely native lilies which are called mountain and Cascade lilies by gardeners and lilium Washingtonianum by the botanists and wildflower book authors. These were blooming last Sunday and have a heavy, FITT Seafood & Poultry 121 W. Main 773-8497 fresh skinned CATFISH 59 SWORDFISH STEAKS HALIBUT STEAKS .... SOLE (Fresh Rex) SEA BASS FILLETS ....
