'Vigah' Shirts Are Introduced United Press Internalional Working up perspiration usu ally takes "vigah" and a new sweatshirt advertises the con nection. The shirts with "vigah" imprinted on the fronts also contain a physical fitness coal of arms inspired by President Kennedy. The crest features a rocking chair. The shallow shoe silhouette steps to the front of the parade of new fall shoes for women, re ports the National Shoe Re tailers Association. The shal low shoe is the old opera pump with its top scaled down to show more foot. Even the backs are lowcut. Some have straps attached but this seems utili tarian as much as it's fashion able. The straps guarantee that wearers of shallow shoes remain shod. Stepping into the fashion pic ture today is the wooden stack ed heel, about 15 inches high, often made of plastic and paint ed to look like wood.

Empty Bottles Useful As Flower Containers In this era of casual enter taining in home recreation rooms, empty bottles can be most useful as containers for unusual floral arrangements. With few exceptions, flower arrangements in bottles are In formal in feeling since the very nature of the container itself is casual and unassuming, points out the Society of American Florists. The clever hostess can use a wide variety of flowers and green foliage in such arrange ments. These vary from a sim ple rhythmic spray to a group ing of blooms to a highly styl ized arrangement of cut flowers. Bottle containers inflict few limitations. One of these is that most bottles have a slenderness that requires a vertical design in the arrangements. A few types of bottles, however, have squat shapes that call for low rounded flower arrangements. Generally speaking, the soci ety says, bottles are symmetri cal in design, but the over all arrangement is most attractive in an asymmetrical pattern or informal balance. The hostess should seek com patibility between the flowers and container in size, color, tex ture, and spirit. For example, the society suggests the casual composition required with a Mexican bottle could be han dled with five sprays of celosia, ranging in color from pink to wine, and a spray of plum fo liage. Another suggetion is for a wine bottle in wicker which is casual and tics in with either modern or traditional decor. This arrangement can include i three white pompons, grouped informally with autumn grasses. The round form of a Victorian milk glass bottle calls for a rounded form in an arrange ment. White mums with a tint of vellow. and five veltnw roses ! with curving stems, could be used advantageously. To show how flexible bottle container arrangements can be, the society suggests placing a floral arrangement in a suitable bottle on a hanging shelf. In the arrangement, use spider plant branches with one branch fall- "THE 1824 WEST MAIN Large Selection of Imported Yarn LOT OF FREE PARKING SPACE Rain Postpones Show; Rescheduled on Tuesday Because of rain last evening, .

Program Given For Chapter Events Planned "Introductions and Invita tions" was the title for the program given by Mrs. James Butler for a meeting of Alpha Beta chapter, Beta Sigma Phi sorority, held September 10 at the home of Mrs. Charles Tuck er, 1551 Johnson street. Plans were made for fund raising projects. Mrs. Tucker reported on the progress of arrang'.-menis for the state convention to be held in Medford next year at the Armory. A report was given by Mrs. Eldon Johnson on the School of Hope," and members dis cussed the possibility of aiding the school and helping sponsor the children.

In the cen ter of the arrangement, where a broader form is needed, a pos sibility is a Spathiphyllum. Need No Aids One of the many assets of bot tle container arrangements is that you don't need mechanical aids such as needle holders or chicken wire. The slim necks of bottles support flowers ade quately. However, warns the society, don't crowd the stems. They may become bruised and unable to draw water up to the blooms. With clear glass or light-colored bottles when you can see the stems, be extra careful in placing the flowers. They must be considered as an interesting part of the total picture.

College President Speaks ASHLAND When members of the Ashland Garden club and their husbands met September 6 for a dinner and program, they were given a geological history of southern Oregon by Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson. The soil in which Ashlanders raise fruits and flowers had its beginnings in eras dating back 100 or more million years ago said the Southern Oregon col lege president, whose particular field is geology. He traced brief ly the development of the moun tain ranges of the Pacific coast, telling of the time when this valley was a shallow ocean lake with a tropical plant life.
