No New Dress Is Necessary, This Gal Says By DOROTHY ROE AP Women's Editor NEW YORK 'APi-This spring a woman needn't be afraid to buy a new dress, says Evelyn Dawson, designer for the house of Suzy Peretle, showing her collection of budget-priced, high-style fashions for spring during the final day of the New York Dress Institute's press week previews. Industrial Stock Averages 'Bullish1 To New Extremes By ELMER C. WALZER NEW YORK (UPD - Tlli industrial stock average set a new record high during the past week and all but scaled the 600 level which has been something of a goal for the bullish n'ement. The average closed the week at 595.75 up 3.03 points on the week. That was a record closing high. The Friday intra-day high was 599.89. The intra-day high is an average of the highs of Ihc 30 issues used to compile the aver age. It is practically impossible for all (he stocks to make their high at the same time and hence "In the last few seasons." says I such average never is touched the youthful, dynamic designer. women have been dragged through as many fashion changes as used to take 1.000 years. No wonder they're all confused, be fuddled and bewildered. Why, 1 know some women who haven't bought a new dress for years. "We re on the eve of another big French fashion circus, and good ness knows what they'll spring this t'me. Bui here in the good old U.S.A. we've already made and sold our spring collections, and they are clothes that are made for people not trapezoids." the new Oregon Farm Bureau Bldg., 1730 SE Commercial St . . . the commission's all-out advertis ing and promotion campaign dur ing 1958 to sell the trade name "Oregon-Grown" fryers has suited in establishment of a new brand name . . . according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Oregonians consumed 40.919,500 pounds, of fryers and broilers in 1958 . . . advertising will be con tinued in 1959 to promote the 'Oregon-Grown" label. the market, but it is regarded as highly important by the statis ticians. I Having for all practical pur poses hit the 600 mark, there is a prospect the market may en counter profit-taking. This figure was something of a goal for the bullish contingent and hence hav ing achieved it they may wish to realize some of the fat profi's that have been run up in the past year when the market was in an almost straight line rise. Gains in the leading averages were small on the week and also small in the first 11 sessions, of 1959. The railroad group had the best advance percentagewise. The rail average closed the week at 107 !7 up 3.59 points. They hit a new high since 1956 on Thursday and closed Friday with a loss ol less than a quarter point. Utilities closed the week at a 28-ycar high at 92.18 up 0 41 points.

Many Klamath Falls thealer goers who see Walt Disney's tech nicolor feature "Tonka," to begin January 21 at the lower Theater will recognize Central Oregon s rolling, sagebrush covered hill where much of lonka was filmed. This spot in Oregon closely re sembles that low hill in Monlana where Ihe men of George Arm strong Custer's U.S. Cavalry rode into battle against hundreds o' screaming Sioux and Cheyenne The film is directed by Lewis R. Foster, who has directed many oth er such spectacular films. Oregon Indian tribal members are also included in "Tonka," with practically every Indian from three tribes on the Warm Spripgs Indian Reservation near Madras, playing a part in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. In addition, some 300 citizens of Madras and Bend donned the dark blue uniforms of Custer's cavalry, to fight against Chief Sitting Bull.

They gained the remainder of the week. Rails were off Tuesday and Friday Utilities dipped on Tuesday and Ihursday. The business climate was agree able lo the market and nothing untoward occurred on foreign fronts to hurt the market. Larg amounts of money seemed to be available each time prices slipped back although profit-t akin? seemed lo be gaining headway in the final session of the week Steel output reached a new high since June 19o7. Electricity pro duction set a new record. Coal output rose sharply on Ihe week as did car loadings although boln ot these were under a year ago. Retail trade rose above a year ago. Auto output was up on the week and on the year, while con slruction held high. Individual stocks outperformed the general list. C1T financial and commercial credit got a jolt when it was learned the rord Motor Co. plans lo set up its own financing agency for the purchase of new cars. That would mean a big competitor for these two com panies. American Melal Climax en joyed a spurt when it was learned a method had been found to cast molybdenum in which Ihe firm specializes. American Motors was whirled up more than 3 points on Wednesday on a sharp rise in its December sales. It fell back from the high. The market leadership lacked the issues Wall Street likes to see in the active spots. The actives ncluded such issues as American Motors, J. 1. Case, AVCO, United Cigar-Whelan. C1T Financial, and American Metal Climax. Steels enjoyed a good market late in the week. The high-priced ones were the best performers Inland Steel ran up on a stock split proposal. Youngstown Sheet got a lift on hopes for a split in that issue. None of the recog nized leaders except National which Is included in the averag' group made an outstanding 'per formance. Sales for the week totaled 21,015.080 shares, a daily average of 4.203.016 shares dally and the most since the four-day Thanks giving Day week of Nov. 28. In the previous week sales totaled 20.837,601 shares or 4.167,520 daily H Employes o Vote On 3-Year Pact Want To Learn To Drive?

He took advant age of his psoximity to pay a call CHICAGO (API A new three ear contract which would end a wo-month strike of 37,000 Interna tional Harvester Co. employes is up for ratification by the rank and file of 33 United Auto Worker lo cals. The UAW Harvester Council. made up of delegates from 33 lo cals at 15 harvester plants and 10 depots and warehouses, approved the proposed contract Friday nighl after a stormy seven-hour session The unofficial vote was 14.891 votes for the proposal and 12,562 against. After Ihe session, Duane Great house, UAW international vice president and head of the union's Harvester department, and Wil lam J. Reilly. manager of labor relations for Harvester, signed the new pact. The strike began Nov 13. O. D.

Sharpe is very familiar with the work and nrohlems of the Mo- Members ol local unions are ynt-ldoc Council, and he gets down many boys will lake part In routing. His enthusiasm for Klam :ilh Falls heightened when he spoke of the "wonderltil" new scout service center at Manzanita Street and Dolores Avenue. "That shows real interest and in spiration," he said. "It is one of the finest training centers for a council like this of any place in America. The excellence ol your pro- ram is further shown by the se lection of a boy from this area to present the region on Ihe Na- ional Committee which will meet h President Eisenhower." Sharpe said, referring lo Edward astny Jr. of .Malm. 'This will undoubtedly be the outstanding event in this boy's life. and it is up to the local scout leadership to make what he does e in the life of the community." Sharpe turned to local scout executive Jim Ilarpole to make an other point in favor of Ihe Modoc Area Council. In Ihe past two years we have recruited six persons out of this rea for careers in scout service. This means that about 10 per cent of the men we recruit throughout Ihe entire five-state region come from the local area. "This speaks well for the ex- mple your leadership is setting nd for the fine standard of work here." After that, Sharpe was hardly isposed to offer Ilarpole any criti cism, so perhaps he was referring the poor showing of the 1959 United Fund-Red Cross drive hich supports scout work when he said there was "room for im provement" in Klamath Falls. ing on whether to ratify or reject the agreement. Reilly announced a company-un ion agreement which will give any worker needing it a $50 advance in wages, to be repaid beginning in March. The results of Ihc balloting an unofficial tally were announced by Herman Rebhan, UAW inter national representative in Chicago. In approving the contract, the Harvester council spurned a rec ommendation from its IB-man ne gotiating committee which on Wednesday had accepted the Har vester proposal and then, critical at what it termed premature talk of a settlement by company offi cials, voted to seek rejection of Ihe pact. Union officials said that more ban 27,01X1 ballots were cast in the council voting, hut that about 10.000 here an average of twice a year P or several years, his region has lopped the other 11 regions the country as far as the percent age of available boys served is concerned, and he said that Klam ilh Falls was doing one of the better jobs in the region. Sharpe has the benign, while haired appearance of a successful schoolmaster approaching retire mcnt, and, like successful school masters, he is just in his praise without effusiveness. So while giv ing Klamath Falls a good mark he added, "but there is room for improvement, as in any other com munity, He said that the community it self determines, by its interest participation and leadership, how FOUR ESCAPE FIHE PORTLAND (AP) Four per. of the firm's 37,000 em-lsons at The Grove Restaurant nloves had boon laid oft before the Friday night escaped as lire strike began because of the sea sonal slack and those 10,000 were not represented Harvester officials have eslimat- cd that losses in wages have been about Vk million dollars weekly during the strike.
