MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON SUNDAY, DECEMBER I. I9K3 C 11 Discreet Jewelry Said 'Out' By Gay Pauley WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE STRAWN Oregon Sui University NEW YORK (UPI) - Dia monds or their simulated cous ins, rhinestoncs, have become a girl's best fashion friend for daytime. The glitter that once was con fined to evening now goes around the clock, fashionably, as the "little nothing" jewelry is on the wane, reports the fdshion coordination institute. The institute's fashion direc tor, Charlotte Thompson, said today that the 19J0's marked "the last great rhinestone peak and since then jewelry featur inH simulated diamonds, rubies and emeralds has been in a mild eclipse." ' "But this season marks its renaissance . . . from dawn to dusk." she said. : "I don't mean that women will be wearing rhinestone bracelets and chandelier car rings with knits," said Mrs. Thompson. "They'll have to ex ercise taste. Yes. rhinestone arc for tweeds too." Pcnrls Not Enough "The discreet, little nothing In jewelry is dying," said the woman whose organization is a spokesman for the real and cos tume jewelry trades. "No longer can a woman set tle for a single strand of pearls as her jewelry 'costume', " she said. : Mrs. Thompson said there arc two major reasons for the glit ter revival. '. Socialites shown at numerous formal events wearing" ihc real thing, inspiring the woman who does not own diamonds, rubies or emeralds at least to do their dazzling with the simulated. And, the new clothes demand more dramatic jewelry. She mentioned the over whelming swing to texture in fabrics nubby woolens, puffy silks on which small jewelry is "lost." Pins for fall and winter, and on into spring, have more di mension. They're "globbier," as Mrs. Thompson said. For day time, rhinestones arc combined with chunks of amber or gold for both pins and earrings. For evening, the rhinestones star alone or are combined with pearls and fake emeralds and rubies. The Paris fashion salon of Christian Dior helped the dra matic rhinestone pin along when he plunged necklines to new lows in his last season's collection. Necklines ha.e been baring the bosom in numerous other collections since and a cluster of jewels has become standard part of the dccol letage. Another trend is in at home jewelry to go with the plethora of at home clothes. Here, she said, a woman can go to ex tremes in jewelry, wearing off beat shapes and giant sizes she would not dare elsewhere. Use Cuff Links The numerous French-cuffed shirts forming part of costumes have started a fad for stone-set cuff links. Also catching on, Mrs. Thompson said, arc jeweiied buttons for late day and eve ning clothes. Part of the credit for this trend must go to the New York designer, Fernando Sarmi, who six months ago showed diamonds from Tiffa ny's as buttons for late day and evening clothes. In necklaces, there is a vari- Use of disinfectants in laund ering was discussed in this col umn several months ago. More new information has just been received. Researchers at the U. S. De partment of agriculture labora tory have continued their tests and have passed along these re sults. Textile bacteriologists studied the laundry of a number of families and found bacteria which cause skin, ear end res piratory infections in many cases. These bacteria were not killed by hot water and deter gent. They found that liquid chlor ine bleach or pine oil disinfec tant would greatly reduce the bacterial count in the wash and rinse water. If you have sickness in the family or use a self - service laundry, it's a good idea to use bleach if the fabrics will take it or some other disinfectant. No wonder schools are bulg ing! Did you know that over half of the people between 5 and 34 years of age are enrolled in school? Millions more arc being taught where they work. Classes arc also held by sisme labor unions. Here in Oregon, 22.000 women j attend monthly lessons through I OSU Extension Service. One popular subject is consumer cd- ucation. Homcmakcrs learn how to buv such products as meats, I laundry aids, ready-to-wear, life insurance, and what to look for when shopping for credit.

Don't forget to laund er the mattress pad every few weeks. If it's the quilled type, take it out ot the dryer while still damp. Stretch it to size and finish drying on a line.

Tin beads are twisted and draped into soft shapes; the fine metal lic chain is catching on: and there's a revival of the collared necklace, nt quite the choker nor the high-riding dog collar of other days "somewhere in between." Earrings are varied in shape, with the long skinny drop the number one evening fashion. "You'll see numerous gold bracelets set with many colored stones," said Mrs. Thompson.

A new way of preserving food radiation-pasteuri z a t i o n, a peaceful use for atomic energy offers promise of extending shelf-life of foods if certain problems can bo overcome, ac cording to R. 0. Sinnhuber, Oregon State University food scientist. Sinnhuber and A. V. Ander son, microbiologist, arc direct ing new OSU research on the effect of radiation-pasteurization on fool spoilage organisms in seafoods, under a S28,UU0 contract with the Atomic Energy Commission. In radiation - pasteurization, fairly low dosages of gamma rays are passed through food, killing nearly all the bacteria. No heat is involved in the pro cess, and the food is in no way radioactive. Research workers want to . learn about microorganisms ; surviving the radiation treat-! mcnt and also about those that develop during storage. In trie OSU tests, fresh dover ; sole from the Seafoods Labora j lory at Astoria is sent to Cor ! vallis where It's irradiated and also analyzed for microbial ac- tivity. In addition to o'her orga ! nisins, research workers will look for any forms of the lethal : Clostridium Botulinum. Botuli ; num toxin is inactivated by heat processing or by thoroughly heating the food during cooking. jType E, a very rare strain, re cently made headlines when it , was found in some smoked fish products in the Midwest. OSU workers also will test various food additives to learn if some of these might be used in combination with radiation- pasteurization to extend shelf- hfc ol seafoods. Dr. J. S.
