MLDf ORD MAIL TRlBUhE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. AUGUST 5. 132 Children's Clothing Field Not Influenced By Kennedys By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-UW-Mrs. John F. Kennedy unquestionably ranks as one of the interna tional style leaders of the day. And the ; v . ing numbers of young motlv ers are buying for their chil dren anyway. Mrs. Berens said the trend is toward simplicity in chil dren's wear, as it is in that of adults who would ape Mrs. Kennedy's chic.

There is no mass copying as there was in the days when Shirley Temple was a child star and numerous mammas around the nation were try ing to turn their small daugh ters into dimpled, golden curled replicas of the movie moppet. Mrs. Berens believes the president's two children, Caro line, 4, and John F., Jr., going on two, might be more influ ential on fashion if they were photographed more often for public print. Typical Wear But Mrs. Kennedy is trying for some privacy for her chil dren. And what they wear is pretty typical of what increas- Party Welcomes Former Resident Hornbrook - Mrs. Allie Tyrer, a former Hornbrook resident who has returned here to live, was honored at a parly in her home Thurs day given by friends to wel come her arrival. The event was in the form of a sur prise. Hoslesses were Mrs. Hen ley Clawson, Mrs. Alberta Hutchins and Mrs. A. Vf. Spearin Sr. Mrs. Tyrer. before her mar riage, was a clerk in the Horn brook post office, during the time that Harry Chapman was postmaster. Later she and her husband, the late J. O. Tyrer, lived in Yreka, Calif., for a number of years. She now is living In the home which formerly was the home of her late husband's parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Tyrer.

Calif., Friday after a visit here with Mr. Norwick's par ents. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Nord- wick, 919 Reddy avenue Women's Wear Daily, the trade publication, toward children's wear designers copying grownup styles. This trend, the trade publi cation said, goes so far as child versions of the swirl skirt, bow blouse and little jacket outfit that U.S. design er Norman Norell made last season for sophisticated grownup females. Activities Differ "Children's shapes and their activities differ from those of adults," said Mrs. Berens, general manager and stylist for Merry Mites, Inc. (boys' clothes) and Gay Sprites, Inc. (girls'- clothes). The implication was that children run, jump and climb, and shinnying up a tree in a copy of a Norman Norell wasn't exactly possible. "The Dior Trapeze of a few seasons ago was perfect when it was copied for children be cause it was a children's style." said Mrs. Berens. "That is why it failed for adults." The Trapeze was a simple silhouette stressing natural shoulder, ease through an un belted waist and a slightly flared skirt. It still is basic with children's wear design ers. "What distresses me," said Mrs. Berens. "is to see little boys dressed like carbon copies of what thejr dads are wear ing. Boys mostly have round faces, short necks. Put them in a miniature version of a man's suit with necktie and long trousers and they look pushed down ... we try to style to give them height. Short Trousers "For dress, I like to see little boys in short trousers with knee socks, cardigan jacket and shirt collar out over the cardigan neck. No lie. A lie on a boy always is askew anyway." Mrs. Berens, an attractive brunette, is married to Nat Berens. in a competitive chil dren's wear firm. The couple has no children. But Mrs. Berens said that her nine godchildren and the families of the predominantly young marricds on her company's staff provide more than suffi cient youngsters to wash and wear test every garment be fore it goes inlo collection. Camping Outfit Good Investment Chicago (UPI) A good camping outfit initially costs about as much as a two-week resort hotel bill for a family of four, says E. H. Regnicr, University of Illinois rural recreationist. But if the equipment is durable, you're set for several years, he said. Your main ex penses in future vacations will be food and travel to the camp grounds. Regnicr suggested a tar paulin tent. 10x10 foot urn- v- fLslJ& ' -N"H' ;, 5, f. !

"Observation." reported the Gilbert scientists, "is the key Seashore Offers New World To Youngsters scientific fun with the vaca tion when you take the young sters down to the sea - or river, lake or pond.

Just consider the interests at the seashore, if variety's your child's spice of life. Nearly every mile of the na tion's 54,000 miles of tidal shoreline is a place of poten tial interest - where nature's great show goes on 'round the clock. Where the land meets the sea, another world begins. For information about how a child can pry inlo this nev er-ending drama of the sea and its life, we consulted with researchers at the Gilbert Hall of Science. Surprisingly, it was found equipment needed for young beachcombers is minimal: a pail, a few glass jars, a trowel, a spading fork, a , kitchen knife and a magnifying glass. A portable microscope, if powerful enough, will enable children lo study small forms of sea life while they cavort in a few spoons of seawater. to science and enjoying the new finds. Details of form and movement cannot be seen, however, unless your child watches carefully." A sandy beach supports a different variety of plant and animal life than does a rocky beach or a mud flat.
