Colfee and donuts and an antique doll collection were two factors which helped push sales volume to twice its normal pace in the infants' and chil dren's department of Muehling's Department Store, San Diego. Calif. "This is the third year we've staged an 'Old Fashioned Bargain Bee' and by far it has been the best," says Arlan tPuckett, general store manager, reports Infants' & Children's Review. The Bargain Ree, which jan for six days the first week in February, was heavily promoted with newspaper advertising. Windows were decorated with mannequins clad in gowns reminiscent of the early 1900 era. The promotional image was antiquity versus contemporary. In the infants' and children's depart ment, a .alublc antique doll collection attracted crowds.

Heavy and bulky clothing of these dolls offered a sharp contrast to today's infanls' wear. AUTO SEAT BELT SALES ADVANCE.

This year's seat belt sales In auto stores are running 2(1 over 1962. In 1962. auto stores sold SIS million worth of belts, a gain of 36 over 1961. The fact that car manufacturers are offering seat belts on 1964 models under "delete option" basis meaning that customers can cancel the belts if they don't want them and the dealer will make any necessary price adjustments has not hampered seat belt sales in home and auto stores. In fact, dealers see 1961 seat belt sales as "definitely bright."

It describes the town of Nazareth. By F.LIAV SIMON United Press International NAZARETH, Israel (UPH Thc worn hills of Galilee hid Nazareth from the pages of his tory until the Gospels turned it into a shrine venerated through out Christendom.

NKW LOOK I'OH MEN If your style sense is even modcralcly developed, Mr. America, you well may show up at the office next spring in a new iridescent bluc-grcen business suit. If your husband Is even moderately courageous about dressing, Mrs. America, he well may be wca.ing a bluc-and-white seersucker dinner coat (with black lapels) when he escorts you to a club dance this summer. Ihcre is a new trend toward lightness and brightness in the stodgy world of men's business suits and it is being hailed as the biggest news in masculine apparel since the "Ivy League" and "Continental" looks of post-World War II. "This is the first time since the 19.10s that American men arc going for colors in such a big way," says Richard Lang, fashion editor of Gen tlemen's Quarterly. "We have been in a very dark era for a long time with men slicking strictly to black, brown, blue and olive drab. Now we are seeing signs that the American male is ready for a change." Item: This past fall, when manufacturers of men's apparel were showing their lines, an impressive BO per cent of the new clothes were light and bright light greys, golds, iridcsccnls, "sand," "pewter," "clay," "sterling." In the fall of 12 only 10 per cent of the manufacturers' new lines were light and bright. Hem: Orders by buyers (or major stores across the coun try indicate that the colors will be aggressively promoted next spring and summer. "Men are by nature conservative," says Lang. "Some will never give up the 'mortician' colors and the industry will never fail to provide dark suits for those who want them." But within six months, Lang forecasts, a majority of the suits, slacks and jackets on store racks will he light, bright and colorful and men may have to hunt (or something in olive drab. , Item: The trend toward bright, light men's business suits has been in the making for a long time. It began in sports clothes, and colors in this area are riotous. Next to break out of the traditional mold was the dinner jacket. Now the trend is reach ing the business suit. A simple shift in color in the multi-billion dollar men's ap parel industry hardly seems hir, husiness news but in view of the snail's pace of change in this field, it almost seems a radi cal move. The men's apparel industry competes primarily on the basis of price. It takes about live years to reduce the number nl buttons on a man's jacket from three to two and a decade to get the number down to one belore a reversal sets in. In the words of one industry spokesman, "our industry dosn't run. At its best, it trots." But new forces are emerging which could shake the in dustry out of its prolonged period of stagnation. Most significant is. the exploding population of young mrn uhn will have an annual buying power running into billions and who will not only seek new styles but will also inlltirnce how Ibeir fathers dress. The Increase In the 13-19 year male population during this single decade will hr It per cent. In the 20-21 year age group, the rise will be an awesome 54 per cent. As the Bach Letter, a men's apparel advertising report, puts it, the youth market gives the industry "a golden opportunity to brcaic out of old molds, to promote new styles, new colors, new fabric combinations, yes, and even to promote obsolescence." Another important factor is the upsurge in travel. Panicu larly at warm weather resorts. American men buy and be come accustomed to wearing bright, flashy clothes. Finally, Lang emphasizes that men. prodded by their wives, "are learn ing to dress up for a variety of different occasions with spe cific clothes f-jr each occasion. " A while ago. the Bach letter came np with the startling finding what while cars on the road are getlinj younger, men's suits in wardrobes are getting older and that the average age of a man's suit Is only one year younger than his car. It could be that a man s suit is at least almut In move nut nlthc category of the most durable o consumer goods. MEDKORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Stop Me Mary's well is here in Nazar eth and women still come to it for their water, returning home with pitchers carried upon their heads.

Regulations by States on Possession Of Firearms Urged ROBERT SMITH WASHINGTON It is up to the various stale legislatures rather than Congress to crack down on unregulated sale of firearms to juveniles and adults who are incompetent to handle them safely, according to Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, D- Wash., chairman of the Senate Com merce Committee. Magnuson's committee plans to hold hearings soon on pending bills to regulate mail-order gun sales such as the transaction which put an Italian rifle into the hands of Lee Harvey Os wald, the presumed assassin of President Kennedy. A bill spon sored by Sen. Thomas Dodd, D Conn., has gained support since the assassination. Dodd's proposal is to require wear Western clothes. Yet, many still dress in the flowing robes that were common in Bib lical times. The population is now about 25,000, most of them Arab Christians. About 10,000 of them are Roman Catholics. Roman soldiers sacked the town on their way to major at tacks on Japha in 67 A.D., and it is believed that the Nazareth of the Gospels perished. Only caves in the rocks provided refuge. Eusebius, citing Julius Africanus, says "relatives of the Lord" presumably the dc scandants of the family of Jos eph and Mary were scnltcred throughout the countryside. But politics and military stra tegy sent Titus to sack Jerusa lem, and Ihc seeds of Nazar eth's rebirth were cast when Forest Industry Brings Billion PORTLAND (UPI) - Tree farming and manufacturing brought more than $2 billion in to Oregon and Washington in 1002, up 5.R per cent from 1961, -the Industrial Forestry Associ ation has announced. The figure was only slightly below the record set in 1059. The announcement said the forest Industry continued as the Northwest's No. I employer, with ils 143,000 jobs last year. Forest industry employes earn ed more than $810 million, up nearly $46 million over 11, and equal In the all-time high of 1959. Oregon's forest products yield ed more than $1 billion for the ninth year in the past 10. Washington's forest products yielded an all-time high of $948 million. The report said lumber still leads by earning tMS million; pulp and paper is second with $775 million, and plywooi' $565 million. Lumber was up $42 mil lion, plywood up $41 million, and pulp and paper up $.15 mil lion over 1961. BIC CATCH MADISON, Wis.

May Mislead Public But Chairman Magnuson Is fearful that enactment of such legislation will "mislead the public into believing that the problem had been solved when in fact it had not." What is the problem? "There is no question that more effective control over the use and possession of firearms is necessary," says Magnuson. "Mental incompetents, alcohol ics, drug addicts, convicted fel ons, fugitives from justice and similar individuals should not be permitted to use firearms. Use of firearms by minors should be adequately regulated. Even in the case of guns used for sporting purposes, no minor should be permitted to use or possess a gun except with par ental approval and under their supervision." The basic issue, he adds, is "what constitutes effective con trol and where should that con refugees from the City of David came to quiet Galilee. By the third century A.D. there was a Jewish community in Nazareth. In 614 A.D., the men of Nazareth joined Chosrocs II of Persia and helped him sack the churches of Jerusa lem. When the emperor Hcra clius drove out the Persians, the Christians put Jewish Naz areth to the sword. Christ Leaves City Christ left Nazareth for Cap ernaum (Tel Hum) on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee when he started his ministry. It was the place, Matthew tells us, He considered His own city." Pope Paul will visit and pray al Ihc places where the New I cstament says Christ centered His public activities. Here the disciple Simon Pet er the St. Peter Roman Cath olics venerate as the first Pope had his house. It was the Sea of Galilee upon which the New Testament relates Christ walked, and it was these wat ers and the sweeping winds (hat he rebuked and commanded to be calm.

Malformations nf Ncw-Bnrn Infants Can Cause Death Few lay people realizo how common arc malformations in infants, and few people know what every autopsy pathologist knows, and this is that when a child has one deformity, he is likely to have half a dozen. I recently read an article on children horn deaf, an article showing how often these unfor tunate youngsters have, a num ber of other bodily difficulties. In the past 111 yenrs, among some 32,600 infants horn at the Chicago Lying-in Hospital, 72 who were born alive died in the first 10 days. All of these died nf malformations. In '25 cases, the abnormalities affected mainly tho brain. Such defects are more common than those affecting any other organ. Mal formations of the heart involved 13 children; of the kidneys, 11; of Ihc gullet and intestines, nine; of the midriff, six; of the skeleton and muscles, six; of I he other organs, Iwo. During Ihe same period of lime, 40 fetuses were born to badly de formed that Ihey had died be fore birth. Again, 24 had some severe abnormality of the brain. Many mothers who for years are terribly unhappy becnuso of buby lost by miscarriage In the first three months of preg nancy could be comforted a bit if they knew that in such cases, practically never is the fetus found normal at autopsy. In Ihe United Stales, the official fig ures show thai one in 467 in fanls dies within the first two weeks after birth, and in 1958, Ihc number nf deaths ascribed to malformations of the infant was 12,790. If we add the num ber of infants who were too mal formed to he born alive, we get a figure of about 30,000 preg nancies which ended unfor tunately. It may give heartbroken molhers some comfort also to know that there arc many other women who arc suffering men tally as they are. All should know that in hardly a single case can the mother he blamed for what happened; the child's malformation with death was in no way her fault. The chemistry of the develop ment of a normal infant Is so extremely complicated that, to me, the marvel Is not that oc casionally a child is born mal formed; Ihe marvel is lhat so many infanls are so perfectly normal that they can later de velop into fine human beings. As Dr. James D. Eberl, Di rector of Ihc Department of Embryology of the Carnegie In stitution said recently, some of the deformities, like a harelip arc due lo a defective inheri tance, a few can be due tn the mother's gelling German meas les early in her pregnancy, and others might he dun tn taking some drug early in her preg nancy. experts no longer believe lhat a mother can mark her baby, and this should he a comfort to thousands of women. Trndenry tn .Multiple Birthi Can Be Inherited According to the American Medical Association, the tend ency of women lo have twins varies in different parts of the world, and even in different parts of the United Slates. For instance, in the whole United States the rate for twin births Is one in every 86 live births. In Denmark, it is one in every 60 births: in Japan, twinning is rare. In Ihc United Stales, the rate is one tn every 66 births in Kentucky, and one In every 123 births in Nevada. If a woman has a set nf twins, the chances ol her having an- A 13 force that would impinge upon the police powers of the states and thereby be unconstitutional. The senator has directed his committee staff to consult with federal, state and local authori- ties and others in quest of a practical solution. "But the solution must not be one conceived in hysteria, born of ignorance, intended to foster comDlacencv and HpsHnpH In fn. me possession and use of fire- arms by the Irresponsible, but in so doing should not unduly inconvenience or hurdenthe re sponsible." Magnuson doesn't question the power of Congress to regulate interstate movement of weap ons, such as the national fire arms act of 1KI4, which outlaws machine guns, sawed-off shot guns and other gangster - type weapons. But he contends it is a state responsibility to see to it that legal weapons, pistols and rifles, be kept out of the hands of incompetents. Roundup othor set becomes five times the national average, or about one in 17 live births.

The pacemaker is used par ticularly In cases of "heart block," in which tho beat, start ing al the top of tho heart, sometimes cannot get through to the two big pumping cham bers. In this disease there can he sudden fainting spells, and eventually a so-called standstill of the heart, and resultant death. One common form of head ache is called migraine. If you have .symptoms which suggest migraino headaches, you will want tn read Dr. Alvarez' help ful booklet about it.
