"VEDNESDAY. JULY 25. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Women's News Social Events 1962 Fashion Changes Accent Slim Waistline By GAY PULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPI) - Now that the line has settled from the scurry of fashion previews, let's take a look at planning of next fall's wardrobe. Start with thesj assump tionsi -You do want some new clothes. Buying some thing new is a lift for most women. And clothes do wear out. -Even as you shop for the new, you'll want to save -both for reasons of economy and fondness -many gar ments from previous seasons. -The fashion changes for 1962 are so subtle that many of last year's and the years before clothes can be adapted readily to 1062. -You ought to lose five pounds you've put on since last fall just to make matters easier for your seamstress or yourself as remodelcr. For the new clothee put a lot more accent on waistline than those of previous sea eons. Now is the time for the wardrobe check. I know, it's still July, and you won't need fall things before Sep tember. But pretty soon it'll be time to shop L getting the kids back to school vacations will be over the pace of living will have hurried until it's be time for a warm wool dress before you can say Olcg Cassini. Subtle Changes The fashion changes are subtle, as the experts call 'em. But they're mighty no ticeable when you try on last season's clothes against the new ones. Like hemlines. Technically, they're station ary. But bet when you try on a dress from fall I960 or 1961, you'll "feel" It's too long. Haul it up another half inch. ...... Take sleeve3. They're com ing down. I there is any fabric to spare on coats and suits, let the sleeves out to the maximum because the new lengih is wristbonc. Or, on dresses, you're safe In re moving the' sleeves - pro vided there is a coordinated jacket or coat to provide pro tection, Sleeveless dresses are a big item for fall '62. Now, as for the waistline, It's pretty difficult to re model one of the high-riding empires from a season ago into the new, normal fit. But certainly you can add a belt to one of the semi-fits which have been high style. Make the belt a four or five-ineher or crushable kid or suede. Wide belts make a strong return. If you're still the owner of one of the "blousons" - those blouscd back dresses - cut the fullness out and make the bodice fit ted. Get your seamstress to eliminate some of the petti coats and yardage from any bouffant skirted party dresses you own. Cocktail dresses are slimmed down consider ably; evening dresses all are skinny. Tired of the traditional three or four skin fur scurf of, say, marten? Yet your fur rier to re-do it, separating the skins and turning each into a boa for wear with collarlcss, simply cut coat or suit. This'll leave you with extra boas to give to your sister and best girl friend to wear the same way. The fur muf fler is big for fall.

Nov visitors ironi inc south nave Mr. and Mrs. Harold E.

Travelers Visit Tiller-Drew - Mr. and Mrs. Don Gilliam and family spent the week end at the home of her sister, Mr. and Mrs. James POTPOURRI Steamboat Island, July 23 From where we sit in front of a huge picture window we have a marvellous view of an arm of Puget Sound with majestic Ml. Rainier in the dis tance. It is a peaceful and beautiful sight. However, the island shore and that across on the mainland aren't really very peaceful. At the resort on the mainland a crew is oiling a large parking area and down at the water's edge a noisy tractor is busy unloading gravel from an enormous barge. From the dock in front of our hosts' summer home can be seen a large number of boats and water skiers are racing hither and yon. On week ends in the summer the water is usually covered with boats of all manner for in this area of thousands of miles of water ways, practically everyone owns a boat of some sort. We've been coming to Steamboat Island for many years. We've watched rowboats with little outboard motors, gravel roads and small, rough cabins and cottages give way to bigger boats with powerful motors, freeways and surfaced highways replace the dustry, narrow roads and the liny cabins with few conveniences have become, in so..rt in stances, largish, comfortable places with electric stoves and heal, bathrooms, dishwashers and garbuge disposal units. Indeed, Brother-in-law Henry says that more and more resi dents of Olympia and other nearby towns live the year around in their homes which look out on the water, and commute to their Jobs quickly by car over the modern roads. The speeding automobile certainly has changed the lives and habits of working Americans. Pack Rat Tendency Said Strong Among Americans By SHELLEY SINGER Chicago-lUPII-The pack rat tendency is strong among Americans. The symptoms are accumulation of everything from outgrown baby clothes to antique armor. A survey of household stor age practices of city families confirms that Americans not only buy more personal and household articles than ever before, but they also keep them longer. One of the reasons for such accumulation is practicality. As one young mother put it; "After baby number three came, and we already had given ' all of our nursery things away, I learned my lesson." Bridge Scores Are Announced Last Saturday "summer came" In Washington. Residents had grumbled for weeks about the cold, rainy weather and In Spokane last Saturday we heard on all sides how wonder ful it was for the weather to be really warm. Stores and plant-selling places still had annuals on sale the weather had been so cool that gardeners were not inspired to buy and plant, we were told. We helped daughter and her husband choose material for a planter in his studio in their new home. The room is very interesting. The upper part of the walls they covered with rough, white fabric put on with a thin glue-like stuff. The lower part they painted a warm brown, and strips of birch moulding separate the two. For wall decorations, nrints or Dictures of ancient musical instruments will be used. Annoyed at the high price of drap- antl Mrs- R- w- Gordon with erics and material, this do-it-yourself music teacher bought 5'' 2 points. some rough, off-orange cloth and whipped up Ihe draperies I , himself. He was about to paint Ihe ceiling when we arrived. De-; Fage Point Group ciding it was a waste of time to use a short-handled roller! rrlja Fa T ' and a slepladder. he attached an old broom handle to the "r,ve r''om ' "p roller and whisked away at the ceiling, leaving no splashes I on the floor and finishing the job in a twinkling. Mrs. Maude Codding and Leland Clark and Mrs. Rich ard Finnell and Paul A. Hat ton tied for first and second places in the July 20 session of the Camp While Veterans Bridge club. They scored 60 Vj points. In third place were Mrs. J. J. Dougherty and Mrs. .1. Lausmann, who won 59 points. Fourth place went to Mr. So despite talk of planned obsolescence and status sym boys, all 370 men and women questioned by a shelving man ufacturer, S. A. Hirsh Co., said they want to get full value out of any purchase they make. And that means keeping anything with a po tcnial for future use. Hobby Collectors Eighteen per cen' of those polled said they are hobby collectors. Items ranged from the usual stamps, coins and china cups to antique armor and historic newspapers. Most people are not sure why they save what they do. Habitual savers cited reasons ranging from the chances of war, inflation and unemploy ment to strictly personal whims. Women say men are the household "savers," and men agree. When it comes to who saves what, 76 per cent of the women polled said men lead in number of articles accumu lated. They said women may keep a few sentimental trin kets, but are ruthless when weeding out useless family possessions. Men 'Thrifty' The men polled said it is true they save more, bul de scribed their habits as "thrifty." "economical'' and "prudent." The pollsters found general agreement that the family ac cumulates most at the time of marriage, when the chil dren are growing and attend ing school, and during moves to new quarters. The first 20 years of marri- also enjoyed several days at the Seattle exposition.

All across the 1 stale the traffic was very heavy, and the roads into Mt. j Rainier National park were clogged with autos. Up where ' the snow still lias not melted away, children and young peo ple played in Ihe stuff, even though it is very dirty at this j tune of the year. The warm slopes were carpeted with a variety of lily ' like llie lamb longue of Jackson county, except that they are all yellow, or all white, and the two leaves are plain green and unspoiled We climbed down a steep slope to look at ' some, and had a tough tune getting back on the highway.

Ail linois Valley ' Auxiliary Meets We've also found that the sum of money wp set aside i for thc trip isn't going to stretch as far as it did two and three years ago. We're sure that motel prices are up some- j what on the average, and possibly food. Motels somelimes! ofter free coffee, and one sign we saw offered free coffee and orange juice to the traveler leaving early in the morning. In Ellensbiii g. Wash , one little cafe offered free cola with burgers. Possibly the owners think that if something free is given, then the travelers will be somewhat mollified over Ihe price of food and accommodations. Some motel owners have given their establishments clever and interesting names, and other haven't.

President's Mother Grants Interview at White House (Editor's Notei President Kennedy's mother, who ii actinir as official White House hostess, hat granted United Press International one of her rare interviews. Following is an account of the interview, on a wide range of tubjecii close to her heart.) By HELEN THOMAS Washington -UPU- President Kennedy's mother. Rose, who resents wisecracks about po litical dynasties, said today she would campaign to help her youngest son, Ted, win a Senate seat in Massachusetts. The 72-year-old Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy granted an inter view to United Press Interna tional at the White House where she is acting as official hostess in the absence of the President's vacationing wife. Mrs. Kennedy poured out her views on political clans, Teddy's chances, the White House changes, the "wonder ful" job the First Lady is do ing, and her "unspoiled" granddaughter Caroline. "Oh, certainly," said the vivacious Mrs. Kennedy when asked if she thought Ted would win a Senate seal. Mrs. Kennedy said her son had "invited" her to campaign for him in Massachusetts. "I expect I will," she said. She said she wanted to help Ted become her third to hold national office, "even though I'm past retirement age." She explained her husband, for mer Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, had "urged him" to seek political office. Mrs. Kennedy said the sub ject of political dynasties had come up in toasts at the White House lunch for President Carlos Aroscmena of Ecuador. Arosemena's father also had been president of his country. Senora Aroscmena confided to her hostess that her 10-ycar-old son, Carlos Julio Jr., who also made the state visit to Washington, had made up his mind to be a "soldier." The Ecuadorian first lady explained to Mrs. Kennedy that her son didn't want to be president because he had heard "so many cracks about a family dynasty." The president's mother, who has heard the same jibes at her family's political aspira tions, spoke out with some feeling and with some exas peration: "I think it's wonderful if people want to serve their country. I think its a great thing." Comments On President Frank and in a gay mood, she made these other com ments on subjects close to her heart: President Kennedy-"I think he's wonderful. He looks very well. He seems to enjoy it and responds to all the chal lenges. It is a terrific respon sibility ... so much depends on his judgment." Jacqueline Kennedy-"! think she's doing a wonderful job. Everyone all over the world admires her. So many people say so ... I know she enjoys it . . . She's young . . ." Her husband, who suffered a stroke last December-"He .1 better now. but he gets im patient. He's very interested in the Massachusetts cam paign." Four year old granddaugh ter Caroline-T don't think she's spoiled. She's too young to realize ... All these lux uries. She probably thinks it's natural for children to go off in their own planes. If she-was older, she would be mora spoiled. But she is with her cousins, and some of them dance and swim better than she. They do not allow her tr take special precedence. Littla children accept things."
