Newspaper Page Textmwm Superstitious Milliners Fret About Pins, Needles By GAY PAULEY UPI Womin'i Editor New York (UPD-When mil linery designers say they're on pins and needles, they could be talking either about tension before the opening of PTi'iSSP1 lnelr ncw c0'- 1 1 1 e c t i o n s or about super- stitions which pervade their w o r k r ooms. Hal designers are among the most supersti tious nprenne 1 1 - ' Him n i in the apparel uy riuity industry for some reason. None of them can explain why. But several, as they worked on their fall and winter de signs to be shown to buyers and the press in early July, took time to list some of the good and bad luck symbols of their trade. Almost all agreed that a box of pins dropped on the floor means a good sales sea son. A hat dropped on the Greenwich Village je Art Show Slated A varied selection of paint ings will be shown during the Greenwich Village Art show to be sponsored by the Southern Oregon Society of Artists Saturday, July 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in (he Medford Library park on West Main street. In addition io entries by members and other valley artists, members of the Senior Activity center and the Pros pect Art association will have paintings on display. During a meeting of the society June 27 Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Vandervalle of Frames Etc., Ashland, lectur ed on the art of framing paintings. They demonstrated several different ways of framing one picture to show the effects which can be achieved. Visitors were Mrs. Maynard Legacy, Mrs. George Callo way, Mrs. John Miller and Mrs. Jack Phillips, Medford. Mrs. Todd Thayne, Central Point, and Mrs. James Mow rey. Gold Hill, applied for associate membership. To Leave Miss Colleen Dunn, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Dunn. 238 South Holly street, will leave the end of this week for Portland. She has been an employee of the First National Bank, Medford branch for the past four years and is being transferred to a Portland branch. Guests Ashland-Week end guests Rt the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones, 151 Grcsham street, have been Mrs. Anna McClure and Mrs. Emma Pot ior, both of Portland. Tliey are longtime friends of Mrs. Jones.

But put a hat on a chair and no matter how attractive it is, it's a flop at the sales counter. "1 nearly faint when 1 see someone put a hat on a chair," said Mrs. Sally Vic tor. Mrs. Victor also opens all of her fashion shows with a gray hat, because her first hit collection began with that color. She also rips apart an old hat for the makings of at least one new one in her col lection. Bad Luck Sign Mr. Fred, head of John Fredericks, believes peacock feathers on a hat bring bad luck. The color green is evil. To try on a hat backwards is bad luck. And one pin left in a hat after it is sewn, means the customer will return the hat. To Mr. John, if the scam stress sticks her finger with a needle the customer who buys the hat will be married soon. The designer Mr. Arnold holds that if the women in the workroom toss pins at the designer before the opening of a collection, this will bring good luck, like throwing rice at a wedding. If a de signer buys a new scissors, this means he or she will be in the business seven more years. Success Omen To designer Emme, the sale of an original model means it must be duplicated before the original leaves the salon or that particular style never will be successful. Several milliners believe that a threaded needle never should be passed from one seamstress to the next without its first being placed in a pin cushion. Relaying the needle directly means the breaking of friendship. Don Marshall, who was a theatrical designer before he turned to hat making, doesn't like to hear whistling in the workrooms. This, he said, is like the actor's not believing in whistling in a dressing room, because it brings bad luck. To Marshall, the box of pins dropped on the floor means a rush of orders, and to the girls in his workrooms, a pair of scissors dropped with the point toward one means a pink slip in her pay envelope, as superstition goes. First Lady Plans Vacation Washington - (UPI) - Mrs. John F. Kennedy plans to take her 4-year-old daughter Caroline for a two-week vaca tion on the Italian Riviera next month.

The two parties were held at the chapter house on Hawthorne avenue. Ihemselves to learn what they're leaching their off spring. How adults talk about their jobs influences the way a youngster feels about his first Job. As parents, she asks, do you talk about how you've gotten by with little effort? Do you emphasize the quick instead of the best way of do ing a Job? Do you show re spect for your employer and responsibility for your job by pulling in a full day's work? As you visit with your youngster about his work, help him lo see his responsi bilities to his employer, sug gests Mrs. f'rasier. If you plan a family vacation mention this to the employer when the youngster is hired. If he's working on an hourly basis or expected at a certain hour, help him get to work on time. Parents should see to it that needs of young sprouts are met with regular meals, plen ty of rest and some time for fun. Their physical needs are great as teenagers she empha sizes. Boys grow an average of 4 and S inches a year; girls 1 stretch up about II inches. A major aim of parents is to help a child develop a good feeling about himself so as he matures he'll feel good toward others, says Mrs. Frazier. This is why it's Important, she con tinues, for a youngster lo suc ceed at his first job. Parents should be familiar with (he job so they know the youngster is capable of doing il. Adults sometimes labor un der a false assumptions-pushing a child Into a job early in life will develop his Initiative to be industrious. Pushing too hard loo early may do just the opposite discourage initiative. Another important memo lo parents-not all children are ready lo work at the same age. A couple of sixteen year olds may differ greatly in their abilities lo hold down the same job. Mrs. Frazier emphasizes tuning a sensitive ear toward youngslers' reactions as they come and go from Iheir Jobs. If your youngster suddenly re sists going to work, try to find nut whal he's feeling. Some have upsetting experiences on the Job, and forcing them back to work may be a mistake. !

It's difficult to figure who enjoys the treat the most -child, grandparents or the par ents who get a respite from the daily cartoon show, runny noses, scraped knees and the battle of the bath. A grandmother, comment ing on the annual visitation from pint-sized relatives, de scribed what might be the universal reaction of grand parents. "The vacations make me glad and happy," she said.

It gives them a chance to place-drop with playmates who place-dropped about va cations in Bermuda, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The toddler in our house mended the injury to his psyche by place - dropping playmates last winter by tell ing them recently he was go ing south and west for his vacation. He place-dropped for a week before taking off for what he considers the garden spot of America - Pittsburgh, Pa. "It is always warm down south in Pittsburgh," he an nounced at the sand box. "It isn't as west as it used to be since the Indians left. But they have Pirates." The five-year old spent a day packing for his trip to the south and west of West port, Conn. A check of his gear proved that clothes cer tainly don't make the toddler sized male. Toys and happiness and se curity objects do! Included in the latter, trans ported for the annual vacation to grandparent's house; child's pillow, his little blue blanket, pictures of the dog and one picture from the wall. Toys included 20 books in a flight bag and pieces from as many puzzles; a cowboy hat from Texas, a fireman's hat, a police badge, a Colonel Glenn souvenir button that doubles as the badge for a Canadian Mounted Police dis guise. And fleets of things with wheels - a tractor that he rides, a dozen small cars, trucks, ambulances. He was talked out of taking his record player and records. He was talked into taking a dress suit, a rain coat and pajamas. He also left instructions to keep the home fires warm, at least. Poor, suffering mother was instructed to: - "Play house with the girls every day so they don't get lonesun." P.S. "The girls"-one blonde, one red-haired - are five-year old properties of neighbors. fUl fl YOU WERE THERE? You can be! Money for ill or any part of your vaca tion.
