News About Today's Woman Home Career Leisure Arts Head of Tailoring Firm Says Watch Suit Lapels By WALTER LOGAN United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - Dunhill Tailored Clothes, Inc., is an em porium of such imposing dignity that male customers arc apt to lower their voices and talk in hushed tones as they look over a bolt of fabric from which they will order a $300 suit. Its customers are so rich and famous that Gentlemen's Quar terly, slick magazine of men's fashion, recently showed playboy-diplomat Porfiro Rubirosa in his new Dunhill wardrobe and Man's Wear, a glossy trade publication, showed rising young actor George Humilton in his. Since each magazine showed a wardrobe of unparalleled magnificence we dropped in on Leon Bloch who is head of the tailoring firm and occasionally is known as a bit of a playboy himself, and, of course, a well dressed one. "You're always right If you are not loo extreme," he began in response to a question about sartorial splendors. "Most of (he people are wrong their lapels arc too narrow, both in ready-to-wear and custom made suits. "A lot of people think a suit is not in style if you can sec tile lapel the same people who will complain that something is out of style when it finully fil ters down to the masses. Hut if you pay a lot for dollies and go to a good tailor the lapels are always normal. "And, although we set the trend, we were the first to make lapels and shoulders nar rower. But we never carried it lo Ihe extreme and a man who travels abroad will not be rec ognized immediately as an American because his lapels are too narrow. How the proper widtli of a lapel depends on the size of the man. But the average size 40 man should have a lapel rough ly three inches wide. The slim mer, ivy type cut might have lapels as narrow as 2 inches." Bloch would not quote Hie proper length for jackets but said television was causing them to become shorter. That is because television foreshort ens a person and if he does not have on a short jacket "he looks as it he were standing in a hole. As for new trends, he said, trousers are still getting trim mer and again you see some of the boys carrying it lo the extreme where llicy end up looking like beatniks or gig olos." The trend toward pleatlcss trousers continues. Five or six years ago 95 per cent of trou sers had pleals, but the reverse is true now, lie said. Length re mains at shoetop level with mi increase of cuffless trousers. At night, Block said, a i.ian must a'.vays wear black shoes and da.k suits if he is to be well-dressed. People coming to New York for conventions and vacations don't dress right "but if llicy did, they would be taken (or city slickers back home." lie spoke with favor of the hold striped shirts now having a great resurgence and noted they were being worn increas ingly at night but W illi very con servative lies. Kouiiard hand kerchiefs also are being worn at night by well-dressed men in stead of the cuslomarv while Cancan Benefit Dance Set The annual Cancan dance sponsored by Women of the Moose Lodge this year is sched uled for Saturday, December 7 from 9 to 1 p.m., in the new Moose Hall in Jackson House. Admission for the event, open to members and their guests, will be canned food or staple items. Food acquired will be used to fill baskets for distribu tion to needy families at Christ mas lime, those in charge point oul. The John Lusk Trio will fur nish dance music. Mrs. Wilfred Huffman, senior regent, is general chairman. Carlos Sanders, district vice president of the Moose Lodge, is dance chairman. Last year 10 food baskets were filled from admissions to the dance, and members hope that more can be filled this year.

Bay ' h:imlkfrrhif: And snmplhilld 1 new for a tuxedo breat (racket is a white silk handkerchief with multiple black stripes but very I subtle. Of all the material we've read in the last few days con cerning President Johnson and his family, an article in the Christian Science Monitor about his church seemed exception ally interesting. President Johnson, according to the Monitor, received his first religious training in a small rural church of the Disciples of Christ in Johnson City, Tex., and has never withdrawn his membership from it. Mrs. Johnson is an Episcopalian. Thn Prncirlnni fhirinr' his nnliliral career, has attended Central Christian Church, Austin, Tex., and the National City Christian Church in Washington. President Johnson is the second President of this country to belong to the Christian Church. The other was President j James A. Garfield, who was assassinated July 2, 1881. Puzzled by the various names used by this church, we queried Pal Peg, The Tribune's church editor, who explained .1..., I- II J :....!.. TU- lM....inU nf f-h-ict TIi n,MrlUn mill II IS LtlllUU VdWUU&iy luu Liaii(Jiv:a ui wtuoi, 111c vutiBWUii Church or The Church of Christ. The church has been described by religious leaders as in tensely New Testament centered, with an approach thai is liberal, intellectual and independent. Having no creed and no official doctrines, the church nevertheless practices immersion as a baptismal ceremony. Communion is the only prescribed ritual sermons may be omitted from a service, but never communion. The Disciples of Christ have been particularly interested in the Proleslant unity movement in recent years. A description of the Disciples of Christ in the Look magazine series on religions in America published in 1959 puts them seventh ia size among United Stales Prolestant communions. "The Disciples," it says, "have discovered thai many per sons cannot stand up on Sunday and espouse the Apostles' or some other creed, yet devoutly desire to be Christians. For many of them, the virgin birth, a literal heaven and hell, the ultimate physical rising from the dead, a last judgment of all human beings, and other doctrinal points are personally unacceptable. "The Disciples sweep away all conflict on such issues. They say, 'Believe what you will, after studying your Bible. The acceptance or rejection ot dogmatic principles cannot keep any sincere person from reaching God or Christ.' "Thus, the Disciple fellowship ranges from those who hold every syllable of the Bible to be the literal word of God, to humanists for whom the Bible is inspirational only. Being Chris tians, however, all avow Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Almost all concede that the soul has some form of immortality, but its exact nature is a question that each believer must decide for himself . . . "II is true that the Disciple is released from any categori cal position on such social questions as drinking, birth control, or divorce. But the New Testament establishes definite obliga tions on all followers of Jesus, and these obligations the Disciple must weigh and abide by, according to his own conscience and intelligence." Writers in Washington are predicting that social life at Ihe White House, when it resumes with the Johnsons as Pres ident and First Lady, will be even more informal than when the Kennedys were in the White house. Their parties in the past have been noted for their informal air, tor music, dancing and breezy relaxed gaiety. It is predicted that the trench chel hired by tne Kennedys will be replaced, probably by the Johnson's Negro cook, Zephyr. The Johnson's household staff in Washington consisted of Zephyr, two Negro butlers and three Negro maids. Mrs. Johnson's social secretary is Bess Clement Abell. Touching stories, from all over the world, about how Ihe news of President Kennedy's death attected people in all walks of life continue to be told. From Madrid it was reported that 25 Spanish Civilian drivers for the motor pool al the mixed Spanish-American air base at Torrejon, near Madrid, pooled money to buy a wrealh for President Kennedy. The pilot of a plane bound for the United States jelivered it in Washington in time for the funeral. More than 3,000 people attended a memorial service for President Kennedy held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London last Sunday. Members of the royal family, including Queen Eliza beth, Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and her husband, the Earl of Snowclon, attended. Also there were Ihe sister and brother-in-law of Mrs. Kennedy, Prince and Princess Stanislas Uiidziwill. From Nairobi, Kenya, came a story about an aged police man, once a border patrolman, who realized one day that something was wrong in the home where the American family lived. When he was told that their President had been shot, lie raised his arm in a salute and went away. Later he returned, wearing his old kahki uniform and carrying flowers. These he laid one by one along the edges of the path leading to the Americans' house, as a sign ot mourning. This special story to the New York Times ended "II was the highest honor that he or any other African could pay to President Kennedy and to the Americans in the house, who were the only Americans he had ever seen."O.S.

Hornbrook Couple Host to Guests HORNBROOK - Postmaster and Mrs. Wayne Cummins and his aunt, Miss Orpha Wagner were Thanksgiving day guests in Dunsmuir.

To Margaret Rudkin, who par layed a loaf of bread into a load of dough, running a house has much in common with run ning a business. i She said, "the homemaker is! the purchasing agent, the pro ducer of meals, she sells to the family, she's a promotion 'man,' helping her famliy to make a good showing in the community, and she's the fi nance manager." The same qualities, "magni fied to necessity" mean that the good wife and mother has the potentials for being the good businesswoman, said Mrs. Rud kin, founder -of Pepperidge Farm, maker of bread and other food products. The food business is a natur al one for a woman, she added. But Mrs. Rudkin also set up some warning signs. "The problem today is one of getting into a mass market with enough capital," she s a i d. "When I started in 1937 things were different. We could sell to what I always called the Mamma-Pappa stores. Even the chains then let the local man agers decide on the buying." "Now you have to have more capital, more room, an advert ising program . . ." Mrs. Rudkin, 66, and grand mother of six, began business by selling loaves of bread made of stone ground whole wheat flour. She developed the loaf from her interest in good nutri tion for her own family. Today, she's chairman of the board of the multi-million dollar buisness which was named for the Fairfield, Conn., farm where she and her husband have lived for 35 years. Her husband, Hanry, was a stockbroker when his wife sold the first loaves for 25 cem each, but as the business gre he joined it as treasurer. He now retired, and one of the three sons, William, is pres dent. She said the firm ci rently employs about 2,000 pe sons. Mrs. Rudkin recalled durit a trip to New York that tl first stove baked eight loavi at a time and "I thought, wh, a giant step when we got stove that did 200 loaves at time." For any woman planning start a business, Mrs. Rudk warned against over-expansio loading oneself with debt, ai over-purchasing. Gel the reaction of friem and neighbors to the produ you propose to sell, she sai of commerce. And don't 1 Consult your state departme of commerce. And don't ! hand equipment. "You have to go step I step," she said, "the way y walk a mile."
