creations especially in evening

Coats were simple, warm a d

year he continued them-His col

made jackets of different materials
and colors from the skirts, and
this time was no exception. Many
of his skirts were plaids, one all
checked black and green dress
showed typical Rochas lines-the
yoke taking in the shoulders and
trimmed with a fringe of self ma.
terial.
It showed new sleeves, which
were large and loose until t h e
wrist, where they became narrow
and tight. The dress was of prin.

around and a witch-tight waist.
This line appeared again in long
and short evening dresses, gener.

Rochas introduced one new line

WINSTON-SALEM, Oct. 17.-(R)
The 32nd annual session OF the
Woman's auxiliary Of the Pres
byterian Synod Of North Carolina
opened here tonight and heard an
address on Christian teaching
through the church by DR.. J. W.
Witherspoon, OF Lexington, chair
man of the Synod's committee
on Christian education.
DR.. Witherspoon said there was
a great need for Christian teach
ing today because Of the crime
wave and because public educa-
ton has not answered the prob
lem. Less than half the popula-
ton OF this state is in the church
and only 1866 young people are
in Sunday schools. In the south,
he said, 70 out Of 100 children do
not 60 to Sunday school.
This situation offers challenge
to the church. which is the main
factor to fight this crime. DR..
Witherspoon said we must get the
children to Sunday school ana
where they don't come, outpost
schools must be located to attract
them.
The great growth in teaching the
Bible in the public schools is Great
ing wide interest. DR.. Witherspoon
said there are 100 communities
now teaching Bible in the public
schools OF the state with $4,000
pupils attending the classes.

PARIS, Oct. 17.-Paris dress
makers, now busy showing their
fall collections, obviously are en-
barrassed at the incongruity of pre-
senting thousands of dollars worth
of clothes, materials and workers
time when men are dying few
hundred miles to the east in Ger
many and when men and women
are in need of clothes a few hun
bred miles to the west in Norman
dy and Brittany.
OF all the couturiers, Marcel
Rochas has best slowed this guam
dry. He solved it by the simple
expedient of making clothes not for
wear by his clientele but to be
worn on the stage and screen as
symbol of things to come in the
peaceful world of tomorrow. AS his
program said. Tomorrow means
nope and peace recovered. For its
future task the spirit and hand of
Paris must not lose its skill. Our
immediate task is also to satisfy
through the cinema and theater the
soldiers dreams"
Of course Rochas is helped in
his resolve in the fact thai many
of his clientele are well-knowns of
the state and screen. For example,
Marlene Dietrich, currently touring
France for the U.S.O., has already
selected an evening dress with a
yellow MORE short skirt and black

The Customer Isn't Always

test.
END DISCOURTESE,
But that middle-aged man has
the right idea. If enough customers
had his spunk an d fundamental
self-respect the war wouldn't be
made an excuse for the snubbing
of customers.
If the persons who buy and spend
their money would talk back when
they are rudely treated they could
put an end to the great wave OF
business discourtesy that has swept
the country.
It is all right to say, When the

courtesy quicker if we had the for
titude to talk back or stay away
