Cool temperatures last week sparked apparel sales, reports Fairchild News Service. Department store volume advanced 1 to 3, as outerwear business revived considerably after the extended Indian summer which affected store traffic during October. The most significant activity for the week was in the increased general in terest in coats and suits. Most cities reported good advances in this category, along with re newed attention to sports wear and children's wear. At this time about a year ago, temperatures dropped well below normal to stimulate a 6 increase in sales, despite the fact that many mer chants blamed the uiman situation ior curuing Business atuviij.

The Westerner, Tack 'N Togs, located in Medford on South Central, was the subject of a November article in "The Western Horseman", a nationally circulated magazine for Ranchers, Riding Contestants, . nmpHpi-s and Ridine Clubs. . Several pictures of the store were shown with Alice and Grady Mankins, owners, displaying the various gear and clothing ot me store, ftiso icaiurea in me article pictures was iura Tipton, who models for the store. "Out in the beautiful northwest lives a family with a Cinderella-type story that definitely reads like a fairy tale", is the way the article, written by Ruth Schoner, begins. In discussing Medford the article states; "They chose Medford, Oregon, the heart of the Rogue River Val ley, to be the home of their store, The Westerner, Tack 'N Togs. Ranching, farming, lumber bearing forests, fruit growing, and industrial manufacturing were flourishing here along with the friendliness which is conducive to western living."

BEWARE OF SHOPLIFTERS, Over the past six or seven years, shoplifting has risen be tween 400 and 500 , says George A Theroux, director, Associated Detective Bureau in Hart ford, Conn., which serves department stores, supermarkets and drug stores in Connecticut, Mass achusetts and New York. Mr. Theroux warned that shoplifting, including employee pilferage, can spell financial ruin for a retailing organization if not controlled, reports Women's Wear Daily. Mr. Theroux does not believe that the increasing incidence of shoplifting is a sign of changing morals. Rather, he believes, it is a by-product of the development of discount houses and other mass merchandizing outlets that are mostly self-service. Self-service, he said, oli'crs more exposure and greater opportunity. But thievery in self-service stores can be minimized by mirrors, concealed cameras, floor clerks moving about and a tough store position on appre hended shoplifters, Mr. Theroux said.

(Copyrh ky O.wal raatuiw 'WW WASHINGTON (UPD-When Gordon Leech invited me out to his place for an elephant din ner, I half expected him to add "you bring the elephant." What with all the elephant jokes that have been making the rounds lately, I have some difficulty taking elephants se riously. , But Leech was on the level. He issued the invitation on be half of the Anteaters Associa tion, a local group ol wild game fanciers. As the association's founder, host and vice president in charge of bicarbonate of soda, Leech arranges a series of lunches each autumn at the Na tional Zoo Restaurant. This year he sort of outdid himself. I thought that he had exper ienced his finest hour last fall when he served the association barbecued hippopotamus. But the piece de resistance at the first lunch this fall was roast ed Rhodesian elephant. To my taste, a hippo isn't in the same jungle with an ele phant. Friends, this was roast elephant just like mother used to make. There is, however, one thing about eating elephant that trou bles me. You can never be sure which part of the elephant you are eating. Leech went to a great deal of trouble to acquire the ingre dients for this year's repast. After the menus were already printed it appeared that the wild game agent with whom he was dealing would default on delivery. And the opportunities to use a menu like that are rather limited. "The agent finally came through but it taught me a les son," Leech said. "An elephant in hand is worth two in (he bush." My friend Sam Freeloader, who was also a guest, said he would have enjoyed the dinner more if the side dishes had been less fancy. "I'm strictly an elephant and potatoes man myself," Freeload er commented. The meal started with ele phant soup, but Freeloader sent his back. He claimed he found a peanut shell in it. Leech bought 1.600 pounds of elephant meat for the associa tion, but I doubt any of it will go to waste. It's kind of like Chinese food. You eat an ele phant dinner and you're hungry again in two weens. Hilda B. My sisters act as though our mother were still in Europe. Use N. She brought mother over, against our advice. Hilda B. I came to Amer ica 25 years ago from Germany, married, and settled here. Hav ing no children, my husband and I invited my mother to leave Europe and make her home with us. She accepted and ar rived here six years ago, bring ing one of my sisters with her. A third sister had preceded me to this country. Both girls are married. Mother is depressed because neither of them visits her or invites her over. Use N. Hilda wanted to play big-shot so now she's stuck with the very problem I warned her against. I knew Mother wasn't a flexible type and would have trouble adjusting to a new land, a new language, new friends. She still knows no English so she can't pass the time with radio and TV. Certainly Hilda can't expect us to give her the full life she was leading in the old country. That's Hilda's prob lem. The Council: Use hides ig nobly behind a smug I-told-you-so. But her prediction of hard ship wasn't a piece of masterful logic. Even a dolt knows that transplantation is oitun torture. But a loving family can help it "take" with a minimum of trauma. Overseas, this mother lived with one daughter and corresponded with two in Amer ica. But here, perhaps due to sibling rivalry and fallings-out, she lives with one and is es tranged from the other two. . . To Hilda we say, forget your sisters for a few months. Con centrate on your mother who holds the key to her own ac climatization.
