Arnav Industries, Inc., unveiled the new shoe at the iwent Boston Shoe Show and says that the material permits is mucn as six times more air circulation than leather. The new material is said to be similar to du Pont's new Corfam. Both the uppers and soles of Arnav's shoes are made from the synthetic material, and the two are permanently bonded ex a inira material, also developed bv Arnav. The shoes can be mass-produced from rolls of material and since the uppers and soles are bonded, instead of stitched, can be manufactured very cheaply. In a recent news release, published in ine Christian science Monitor, a spokesman for the firm was quoted as having said that although "the shoe could be sold profitably for $3, it will be sold for $5.95 and up." The representative was further quoted as saying "This is necessary because the public tends to equate quality with price. Arnav expects to sell more shoes at the higher price than they would at the lower." Du Pont's material is said to cost between $1.05 and $1.35 a square foot and Arnavon, 19 cents a square foot. Reports are that shoes made from these synthetics will be water resistant, will require little upkeep and that polishing will be unnecessary. For the last few years we've been reading about manufac turers making paper or synthetic clothing so cheaply that the buyer will be able to discard it after one or two wearings. We welcome the idea. There are those black mornings when we hunt and hunt in the closet for something to wear to work and when, if we had a boxful of emergency paper dresses however uninteresting in design and color we'd just be happy to wear one. Every week we wash, press and iron, carry loads off to the dry cleaners, sew on buttons, hooks and eyes, take up or let down hems and otherwise strive to keep our wardrobe in order. But no matter how hard we work at it, we often feel it is a losing battle. Particularly when a dress for which we paid a good sum disintegrates in a most embarrassing manner after a dozen wearings; when another, almost new, is found to he riddled with strange, small holes; when a belt quickly wears out at the buckle corners; when the wool in an expensive, Imported sweater pills ; when a button falls off a new, scml-expcnsive suit after the first wearing and when the soles on a pair of pumps soak up water like a sponge, refuse to dry for hours and hours and are as slippery as grease. Deciding that either we don't know how to shop or to properly care for clothing, or something, we started a conversation on clothing In a group of other women. They too have their prob lems and one, a business woman, said "I'd like mv fob a lot more If I didn't have so many wardrobe problems. There are many mornings when I simply hnte to get up and face the day because I haven't anything I really enjoy wearing." Smart manufacturers and business men do have some answers. We published a story the other day to the effect that in some cities there are "we wash, you wear" services for women who wear uniforms, such women as nurses, beauty shop operators, waitresses, etc. They choose the styles, Sizes, colors; the service delivers the uniforms ready to wear and picks up those ready for washing or cleaning. The woman pnys for the service, but not for the dresses. This sounds like a really smart idea. O.S. CMJENMMR..

By WALTER LOGAN United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - There are a lot of new millionaires in Texas these days and it doesn't come from oil. It's the boom in mohair for men's sweaters. The same thing goes for Peru where llamas are busy growing alpaca as fast as they can. As a matter of fact the sud den and immense popularity of alpaca for golf sweaters and a mild scarcity of the fiber is ex pected to boost the price by the first of the year altnougn mar ket sources are reluctant to say how much. A third boom is in suede and there might even be some new millionaires in New Zealand De- cause most of the better suede comes from there. In this case thn suede is used either alone or with everything from cash mere and Shetland to the afore mentioned alpaca and mohair. For an explanation ot tne boom in mohair, alpaca and suede we hunted un Al Bobrow, sales manager and stylist for Himalaya Sportogs, Inc., who has been in the sweater busi ness for 16 years "and in the mohair picture for seven." Two Types He began by explaining there are two types oi sweaters on the market men's and young men's. And each of those is di vided into two categories, the traditional and the high style, with some overlapping of each. A student and a young career man might resemble each other but an older career man would he more traditional. "You start for example with the men's classification, he said. "Alnaca on the links quite important to the golf pros. It is light weight and gives them an air of distinc tion. This look came into the style picture (with pros wear ing high colors royal blue, for example, rather than an or dinary blue)." This year alpaca entered the traditional look as well. In tra ditional there is always an aura of elegance and simplicity. The difference will largely be In color. The traditional will wear beige, grey or black and if stripes will take a combina tion like dull navy and wine while the stylist will take grey and white or black and white. Bobrow said. Mohair got started as a fash ion item since he brought back some mohair sweaters from Austria seven years ago, he said. At first it was ultra-tradi tional then it began showing up in brighter colors and patterns and was taken up by the style group. This year with the use of brighter colors and patterns TTT-T?

MAIN Medford, Oregon mohair suddenly began pushing aside the traditional Shetland and most college men now de mand mohair sweaters in their wardrobe, he said. The most favored colors are camel, wine, bottle green and black. And the pacesetters down in the Caroli- nas are asking for a dark "Am ish brown." Suede came into the picture for many reasons, some of which is that it looks well with wool, reinforces it, jazzes it up and comes out as comfortable as an old hunting jacket. Bob row does such things as make it in checkerboard patterns for the front of a sweater or in stripes or harlequin effects. And solid suede is accepted by both career men and students, he said. Bobrow really gets enthusias tic when he comes to the sub ject of turtle neck dickies which are usually worn with V-neck sweaters, and says flatly, "This is the year of the dickies." Golfers first used them, he said, and then students took them up and began wearing them under their regular shirts both for look and for warmth. News About Today's Woman Home Career Leisure Arts Girl Scout Activities Increase; Session Set Possible solutions to the coun cil jurisdiction problems facing the Rogue Valley Girl Scout Council will be proposed during a coming council session to be held November 20 at the Girl Scout Center on South Oakdale Avenue.
