 The Eta-designed dress. second from left, has royal blue crepe dolman-sling sleeves and soft un- pressed pleats to supply fullness at front of skirt. For dresses like this, as many pleats as the law allows are lined up on skirts. which also bell out once again from the hips like the circular cut of pre-war days.

Trend-Setting Peacetime Styles
By EPsIE KKNARD NEA Stan Writer

New York The peacetimes sw1tch-over of fashions from angles to curves is taking place, and the evidence in spring collections is big sleeves and hippy skirts. In case you haven't heard, about an inch has been added to the length of skirts. '. .i
 Hut before you rush to your wardrobe to sort out your war time eduds, hear Us ? out. There fs a curb on curves. Until fabric Shortages are eased up and gov eTnmek1t restrictions are lifted, the wartime silhouette win remain un. changed. Y ..s ,.
 Whopping big sleeves which free suits, coats and dresses from the straight and narrow line are some- times as big a. they look. Again. the balloonipg sleeve is more of a look than a. fact; for example, the new conner with shelf-like shoulder pleating. reminiscent of the Renais- sance court sleeve, to create the effect of sampler size. Shown left on an Anthony Blotta designed wool suit of Tlorentine rose, ,sthese sleeves and shoulder pleats are made more eye-catching with vertical strips of chalk white. beading. :,
 vOLU1ETNOUS SLEEVES
 Coats ' that strive for the new chubby look also depend upon big sleeves, for. that effect. Both the fitted and loose coat styles owe their rounded silhouette to sleeves which are actually voluminous. or

In the main, however, fullness oi the trouser-pleat type is let into tna hips of skirts which, kept narrow at the hem-line, create the new barrel" or ~fanter" silhouette.
 The hippy look in sportswear often comes from full-gatnered tunic, which tops the skirt of suits as, for example, the gray wool jersey shown at. .extfefne right. Dividing honors here with the "bar- rel" silhouette is big Flemish inspired collar-all that peeps out from white coffeep' cotton blouse.

Catholic Ia.tOrnsGtiOn How 3l2,OoO priests
would answer

Every 60 often someone sends Q religious questionnaire to a group of clergymen. The results have shown 6 in recent years a great divsrsity of belief on basic Christian principles, even among those of the same denomination.
 It 6 unlikely that such e ques- tionnaire will ever be sent to the 3l3OOO Catholic priests in the world, but should this occur there would be ai2,OOO '.yeses" to all such questions as, 'Is there a personal Ood?," 'Is the soul im- mogtal?," 'Ts there a heaven and q heIl?." 'Is Jesus Christ God?," ''Was He born of . virgin?," "Did He perform miracles7," Did He redeem mankind?," ''Did He rise from the dead2"
 The non-C Catholic may take satisfaction in feeling that he may search for Gods truths with q translated Bible and an open mind. But the satisfaction of the Catholic Hes in this: he is con- viz1ced that his way to Heaven was charted by Christ, Himself. and that therefore his arrival at his celestial home depends en- tirely on his own sincerity in travelling the road. He never Wor- Ties about whether he has the right road.
 That all Catholic priests throughout the world must agree on ell Fundamental religious ques- tons does not denote mental aIavery any more than does the 100 per cent agreement of all scientists that water seeks the lowest level: They must believe t. --l
 if one aceepts the Fundamental truth that two and two make four. it is easy and logical to acc oept the readings of a logaFithm tahle. If one accepts the funda- mental truth that Gods word is Dossessed, preserved, interpreted, and preached by q Church which Ha established foR that purpose, ft ls easy and logical to believe act OhaHeh's proachfnas and to eet according to It's precepts.
 an this eeems to the Catholic eslgt as plain and simple as was taae plain and simple Jesus. who sold t all Co His apostles 1900 g3aTB ago.

PICKET TRUCKS ON
WAY TO MARKETING

EDMONTON, Alta, Sept. s-R)
Hundreds of farmer-pickets halt
ed market-bound produce trucks
Sunday as a strike of 1000 mem
BEES of the Alberta Farmers union
to force government action on pari-
ty prices went into its second day.
A. F. U. headquarters here said
the only reports of trouble came
from Wetaskiwia, where a load OF
cream en- route to a creamery was
dumped, and from Stony Point,
where pickets were reported to
have allowed a score of pigs to
escape from a truck.
Only about 40 per cent of the
stalls at the Edmonton Farmers
market we're open Saturday.
The A. F. U. has insisted that
the government appoint a fact-find,
ing board on parity prices, which
the farmers say must be raised to
compensate for the increased costs
of commodities they use
