n will be interesting to see, and possibly wear, the new all-
sjrnlbeUc "breathing shoe" which an American firm has an-
wunoed. 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.

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

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.

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.
Since the Girl Scout organiza
tion in the nation is being re
organized under a new system
which will involve enlarged
councils, adjustments are nec
essary on tbe local level. The
local council has been informed
by the national board of direc
tors that the Rogue valley
Council charter has been ex
tended until December 31.
At the last monthly meeting
of the board of directors of the
local council, recommendations
were drafted. Attending were

problems, Girl Scouting activi
ties have been proceeding nor
mally according to Mrs. Culy.
As of September 1, there was
a total registration in the five
districts of the council of about
2.070 girls. Josephine county, or
Singing Rogue District, had
627 girls registered. Since that
time, 9 new Brownie troops
have been organized, which
brings their total of such troops
to 20.
New leaders and assistant
leaders in the district have fin
ished a 16-hour basic training
course at Grants Pass, with 35
members enrolled and 22 com
pleting the course.

trict have completed a four-hour
workshop on the new Program,
with 17 women attending.
