: we are to achieve this objec

. bers of the profession must
constantly strive to improve

skills . . . Equally important
is the climate in the school
'. system . . . Among the factors

mate are manageable class

change. He added, we must
develop a society that can see
change and put such into ac
tive channels of use; educa
tion will be changed drasti
cally In the next ten years if
we want to survive, and real
civil defense is in the child's
mind.
The nation that can so gear
Itself to the acceptance of
new ideas in the child's mind
and education, and in the
least time formulate the most
productive uses of its ideas,
will prevail in control of the
world . . . Anyone is a scien
tist who had a natural birth
and managed to keep his
birthright, his natural curios
ity, initiative, and interest in
observation, the supervisor
said. An optimistic picture of
the universe seems to be that
it is programmed by the Cre
ator to keep creating life. We
are lucky ones on such a
planet, he said in closing.
Attending the conference
from Jackson county were
Alyce Archer and Ethel Ja
cobs of Rogue River; Zelma

Nothing New in Styles,
Says Fashion
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York (DTD There's
nothing new in fashion, only
new adaptations of the old,
says a fabulous fashion his
torian. The mink coat can be traced
to the first bearskin worn by
a cave woman.
As for the new spring hats,
they're old hat, says Charles
Lederman. Even the pillbox
which Mrs. John F. Kennedy
has made her personal trade
mark is ancient Lederman
traces it back to the Egyptian
Queen Nefertiti's headdress
3,500 years ago.
Ancient Fashions
More than a dozen of the
hats in the Lederman collec
tion of ancient fashions are
on display this week at the
nineteenth annual National
Antiques Show at Madison
Square Garden.
They include:
A pillbox dating to the
Renaissance of the 16th cen
tury a red velvet number
with rich, silver-metallic em
broidery. A gold brocade turban
400 years old, examples of
which have shown through
the centuries including during
the reign of Napoleon, when
the Empress Josephine adopt
ed it. The turban is a hit hat
fashion again for spring 1963.
A beret from the reign
of Queen Mary Stuart of Scot
land. The beret has been in
vogue for centuries.
An original lace hat of
Martha Washington, dating
about 1785. Lederman said
the wife of the first President
admired the laces worn by
the Cardinal Richelieu's court
and introduced them as trim
ming on women's apparel.
Bonnet Hat
A biege silk bonnet with

Historian
flower trimming dating from
1800. Queen Luisa of Prussia
liked the bonnet hat. And, an
other straw bonnet of the Civ
il War period, 1860.
An original automobile
hat, used to keep milady from
being windblown in the early,
open cars.
Lederman said Queen Vic
toria produced the "little hat,"
flower-trimmed, and the style
was favored during her reign.
Flowered hats are perennials
on the spring scene.
Men s hats are just as old
hat. Lederman said the Puri
tan hat, which Benjamin
Franklin introduced to the
French when he was an am
bassador, was the forerunner
of the Lincoln-type stovepipe
and today s top hat.
Fashion History
Lederman, 66, educated in
history at the University of
Berlin, has been interested in
fashion's history since and has
been collecting almost since
his student days.
European royalty, presi
dents of countries, have pre
sented him with some of the
items in his collection. Others
he gathered himself while liv
ing in Germany and since he
and his wife migrated to
America in 1939.
Today, his collection In
cludes 10,000 items from 45
nations. "Fashion above any
thing else betrays the wishes,
dreams and ideas moving a
certain time," he writes in
his "You and Fashion," a his
tory. "Dress just as much as art
and literature reflect a coun
try's culture," said Lederman,
whose collection probably
classes as the most extensive
one of fashion in the world.
It includes 2,000 years of
handbags, gloves, hosiery and
hat styles; 4,000 years of fab
rics, needlecraft, art needle
work, cosmetics, jewelry and
table settings. Men's fashions,
corsetry, lingerie, beachwear,
and children's fashions also
are included.
Spanish Gloves
Lederman called the collec
tion priceless "How can
you replace a Spanish glove
from the 15th century?" he
asked.
It is Lederman's greatest
dream that one day his collec
tion can be put on display in
total in a fashion museum
where millions could study
apparel through the centuries.
Lederman said the Ameri
cans contributed the sewing
machine, clothes sizing, pat
terns, mass production and
most of the new synthetics to
fashion. But he added that the
French grabbed, and have
held on as the most influen
tial internationally, because
during the reign of Louis
XIV they "were the first peo
ple to realize what a powerful
force fashion was to become."
It was then that he men
tioned the influence of Mrs.
Kennedy on what American
women wear.
I asked Lederman why she,
as one woman, could set off
such a multitude of copyists.
"Because," he said, "she has
knowledge." The inference
was that some of the rest of
us do not.

Nurse Attends
Workshop Held
For Officials
Mrs. Robert Bass has re
turned from Portlan.. after
attending a workshop for offi
cers of the district nurses as
sociations. Mrs. Bass is presi
dent of District -1, Oregon
Nurses' association.
The workshop conducted by
the Oregon Nurses association
focused on improvement of
patient cara through the or
ganized effort! of members of
the profession of nursing, ac
cording to Mrs. Bass, presi
dent of District 4.
Current legislation, nurs
ing in disaster, the code of
ethics for professional nurses,
and responsibility of the pro
fession for the quality of prac
tice of its members were
among the items under con
sideration," Mrs. Bass said.
We need to recruit more
young men and women Into
the nursing profession, but
we must constantly seek ways
to help nurses meet their ob
ligations to the patient and
the community. The role of
the nurse is constantly ex
panding. The knowledge and
skills acquired ten years ago
no longer meet the require
ments of today's practice,"
the president stated.'
The nurses were urged to
study HB 1257 which provides
for state financial aid to local
health departments. "Disease
respects no county boundary
lines", the nurses were told
'Optimum health in our state
can be achieved only by effec
tive public health programs
at the local level. The coun
ties i cannot maintain these
vital programs without finan
cial assistance."
