'Wonderful
Written After Stay at Lake
Not long ago your paper
printed a delightful editorial
recounting the pleasures of
fog walking, and later one en
titled "Cooking a Frosty
Morning."
I should like, if I may, to
propose a recipe for a wonder
ful week end.
My week end, naturally, al
so involves the out-of-doors
and is a little harder to come
by than normal fog walking,
as it first involves a trip to
Lake of the Woods, and our
second home there. This win
ter, up to a few days ago, the
trip could be made with no
trouble at all for the pave
ment was completely free of
ice or snow.
In fact, the westside road
which has always before been
closed by two or three feet of
packed snow, was open and
actually dusty! Yes, dusty in
the dead of winter.
Of. course, the cabin was
cold, even colder than the 34
degrees outside, but a brisk
fire in the cook stove and a
big one in the fireplace soon
made the rooms very comfor
table. Lake Is Framed
Now, our picture window
looks down through a frame
of evergreens to the lake and
affords us an excellent view.
How beautiful it was with the
deep green of the mountains
patched with white and the
brilliant blue of the sky
above. You would think it to
be an early morning scene in
summer before the wind
comes up, for the glare ice re
flected images of the trees
and larger objects across the
lake. But staying in the house
was not to our liking, so down
the path we went to the ice,
and out on the dock.
Now, one of our housekeep
ing chores was to get some
water, so the two men each
armed themselves with a crow
bar and began chipping a hole
m the ice. Last winter, when
they did this, they lost a crow
bar in 12 feet of water, so this
time they were a little more
cautious and began operations
at a four foot depth. Sure
enough, as they broke through
the eight inches of ice, down
went the bar. It might as well
have been in deep water, for
who is going fishing in a mere
four feet of ice water to get
it out now. At least that is one
crowbar we will know where
to find next summer.
Our friends, who had not
skated for years, were eager
to try their skill. They quick
ly put on their skates, and
hesitatingly at first, tried a
few strokes. Then, as they
gained confidence, they made
ever-widening circles until
they were going along at a
fine rate.
Ice Is Noisy
We were enjoying our
selves, too, in a much less ac
tive way. Friends had told us
how the ice boomed and
cracked but we were quite un
prepared for the treat we ex
perienced. It was like nothing
we had ever heard before.
Sometimes the ice would snap
like a shot, then it would
make a swishing sound on a
grand scale, which would end
in a loud staccato crack. It
would moan and groan and in
a rising and falling of the
pitch, suddenly give out with
a terrifying roar.
As the sun slid down be
hind the mountain and the
surface of the ice changed
temperature the moans and
roars increased until there
was a wall of sound rising
around us. The booms from
some of the louder reports
were bounced back and forth
from mountain to mountain
in a series of echoes and re
echoes as thunder does during
a summer lightening storm.
Indeed, we could hear the
roar from the shifting ice
even after we had finished our
supper and were toasting our
selves before the fire.

lake shore to look at the
heavens. What an array! With
out the haze such as occurs in
the valley, every star sparkled
and shimmered until there
were truly millions of them
spread out before our eyes.
Red, green and ice blue lights
hung in the blackness as if
they might be brilliantly cut
diamonds set for our pleas
ure. Many Skaters
The next morning the sun
brought with it more skaters
and their warming fires and
the higher the sun, the more
people until everywhere you
could look there were skaters.
Some arm in arm were enjoy
ing the sport together; some
were helping a friend on her
first attempt; some, espec
ially the younger generation,
were cutting all manner of
special tricks and leaps.
These were a delight to
watch, as with effortless grace
and fluid motion they per
formed their figure eights,
their twirls and their high
kicks. Soon, a slight figure
skated past. This gentleman
had a black beret cocked jaun
tily over one ear and his
hands comfortably clasped be
hind his back.
His long sweeping strokes
marked him as a skater of no
mean ability. His skates, too,
intrigued us as they were
much longer than the ordin
ary ones. On his return trip
down the lake we could see
they were very special skates,
indeed. In fact, he and his
family were from Holland.
He was sadly bemoaning
the advice given him in his
native country that there was
no ice skating in Oregon so
he disposed of all of their
skates but his. The blade of
the skate was straight, not
curved at the tip like most of
our American-made skates,
was at least two inches longer
and was set into a strip of
hardwood. The whole thing
was then held to the shoe by
a series of thongs which fit
snugly up over the toe and
around the heel. You knew
the ease and grace with which
he glided over the ice had
come from many happy hours
learning this special skill in
his youth.
Another car stopped and
dogs, children and grown-ups
tumbled out in happy con
fusion. The boy, a chubby
three-year-old, had come fully
prepared with a small size
football helmet firmly plant
ed on his head. It made no

difference to him whether he
was on his skates or a more
padded part of his anatomy
and he was soon right out
there with the bigger child
ren. His small sister had two
bladed skates on which she
could get around fairly well.
We had never seen these
double skates before and
thought to be a fine thing for
beginners, especially little
tots.
Now, you would think skat
ing would be about all there
is happening, wouldn't you?
Well, you had forgotten about
the American genius for doing
things differently. There were
children having great sport
on the little motorized go
karts. They would blast away
with the engines chattering
like chain saws and the
wheels spinning and would
charge across the ice miles an
hour. Other ingenious souls
bad mounted large gasoline
powered fans on sleds and
were actually being blown up
and down the lake. Imagine
one was a two-seater. Others
were simply taking their
friends for rides in regular
kitchen chairs, in boxes, or on
sleds.
Ice Boat Used
Now, those skaters who
were pulling sleds were hav
ing a ball because they could
dig in on the corners and send
the sleds careening across the
ice in crazy circles. One ice
boat had a graceful white
sail but as there was no wind,
the youngsters were becalmed
most of the afternoon.
Most precious of all was the
lady in the wheel chair. We
saw her first happily munch
ing hot dogs with her family
by the warming fire and next,
there she was out on the ice
just like anyone else. The loss
of a leg was not keeping this
woman from enjoying the fun.
A small boy pushed her chair
out on the ice far from the
shore where the most exper
ienced skaters had gathered
to demonstrate their tricks to
music from someone's tran
sistor radio.
And so, in our recipe for a
wonderful week end, we have
had quite an astonishing va
riety of ingredients roaring
ice, scintillating colors In the
heavens, warm sunshine,
skates from Holland, a -lady
in a wheelchair, a toddler
squealing with glee at his first
sled ride, a playful dog re
trieving a fast skidding chung
of ice and then chewing it up
with obvious relish, and good
friends for company.
If you only have time to
stop and think, really think a
minute, you will find you
have all the ingredients for a
rich and meaningful life.
Where else in the world could
this happen but right here In
Southern Oregon? And, what
makes it even better, it is
yours for the doing. M. H.

House of Dior Returns Sack Dress to Fashion
By ALINE MOSBY
Unittd Press International
Paris - ll'PD - The House of
Dior has brought back the
"sack dress" and put women
, . i n t o w i d e,
puffed sleeves.
The spring
c o 1 lection of
designer Marc
B o h a n was
cheered as "a
marvel ous
success" and
. "a rAtmliitlrtn
in dress de
AUn Moby signing" by a
jam-packed crowd of press
and celebrities, Including
French actress Danielle Dar
rieux. The new Bohan silhouette
was called a "radical change
in dress construction" by Bo
han. He called it the "tapered
line" and insisted that it em
phasized the bust but did not
widen the shoulders, because
the sleeves themselves were
widened.
However, the effect to lay
men is of width above the
waist. ,
Other designers this season
have emphasized shoulders
and wide sleeves, and Dior's
new line makes the wide up
per look official.
Enhancing the bust and giv
ing the' high slender waist,
without adding width to the
shoulders, the Bohan suits un
veiled at the crowded grey
and white Doir salon had but
toned jackets with loose round
collars showing the blouse.
Skirts were narrow. Some of
them had a third back effect,
with short easy jackets.
In his dresses, super wide
armholes highlighted the bust.
He also revived 'cylinder
dresses" and showed many
prints in abstract designs. His
long dresses had a gypsy in
fluence worn with very short
buttoned jackets.
His coats were mainly pen
cil thin, buttoned and with
narrow collars cut away from
the neck. He also showed
some wider coats, many of
them belted with huge arm
holes. The main colors in the Dior

line were pale gray for day
and a wide range of greens
and red. Bohan also showed
a lot of white, usfng lemon
yellow and rose for evening.
His hostess gowns were ank
le length sheaths of linen. He
also showed some pajama
dresses.
Before the show opened,
activity was feverish - and
that means downright hectic
in the fashion world - in the
gray-and-white Dior salon on
Avenue Montaigne.
A multimillion-dollar busi
ness was riding on whether
the collection was a success.
Dior employs about 400 per
sons in the Paris salon and its
subsidiary salons in New York
and London.
In addition to selling hand
made original fashions to the
wealthy women here, Dior
sells models to big stores for
reproduction, sells ideas to
manufactures and also mar
kets perfumes, gloves, sweat
ers and other ready-to-wear.
Paris-UPD-Low-slung waist
lines and "dandy" suit jackets
were the spring presents of
fered to the fashion world by
designer Jacques Griffe.
The waist goes down to
somewhere between hip and
the natural waist in the
Griffe collection. Many print
ed silk dresses had belts be
low the waistline. Some were
complete belts, others half
belts either in front or in
back.
Enthusiastic buyers busily
took notes on the second type
of Griffe dress with the
dropped waist - a slim top
witn fitted, unbelted waist,
and box or accordion pleats
beginning about two inches
below the natural waistline.
Most of Griffe's suits were
curved in front like the jack
ets of a man's cutaway. These
"dandy" suits had natural
shoulders, quite a change
from all the puffs, bell shapes
and padding around town.
His suit skirts were nar
row, except for a slight flare
in the back, and just cover
ing the knees. The suit jack
ets had long sleeves and end
ed just below the waistline
Most of them buttoned up to
small collars at the neck.
In other words, they were
sensible, wearable clothes
minus the eccentricities that
have sparked other collections
during spring fashion show
week.
Most of the Griffe coats
had coordinated or matching
dresses underneath, which is
one of the big Paris trends
this spring. One of his bp
plauded numbers was a nar
row full-length black linen
coat with curved edges
front, dandy style. It was
lined with white linen.
