Wonnen's S
Clubs
Designer Says
Velvet Will
Be Fashionable

The prediction that velvet will
have a prominent place in the
spring and summer fashion pic
ture was made here yesterday by
Pauline Trigere, New York fashion
designer.
Miss Trigere, who was the guest
at luncheon meeting Ct the
Washington Fashion Group, also
prophesied that another popular
item will be the short hip-length
straight linen square coat de-
signed to go over practically every
type of dress in the spring and
summer wardrobe.
Known as a trend setter, Miss
Trigere, who won the American
Fashion Critics award for 1949
displayed several creations from
her own collection at the lunch
con, which was held at the Wash
ington Hotel.
Featured in the group shown
yesterday were the short sleeved
coat and the sheer coat which
Miss Trigere introduced two years
ago and which she feels will be
important for day and evening
wear in the months TO come.
Special interest centered in a
full length black coat of taffeta
which had velvet trim on its short
sleeves.
The designer declared that large
black hats of velvet-usually asso-
ciated with winter wear - will
complete many spring and sum-
mer outfits this year.
Miss Trigere, whose appearance
at the luncheon yesterday was her
first in Washington, is French by
birth but has been in this country
since 1887.
Noted for her lack of fashion
eccentricities. she believes that
functionalism can exist in the
most high-style design.
Mrs. Alfred Pasternak and Mrs
Mary Jane Edwards also spoke at
the luncheon, describing imports
they had purchased in Paris re-
Gently for their respective firms.
Mrs. Marion Tolson, president of
the hostess group. introduced the
special guests who included Mrs.
Harold H. Burton and Mrs. M.
Robert Guggenheim.
The speakers were presented by
Mrs. Hazel Markell, who was in
charge of the program.

Be definite. Girls are particularly

@. How much of her past is a

A. Tell him anything that will

is often made from a compulsive
feeling of guilt, rather than to
strengthen the marriage. 1t may
leave the partner wondering, IF

THE TABOR CITY TRIBUNE

accidents occurred on Saturday
and Sunday.
In recent weeks it has been
suggested that we should tight
en- our belts due to the Korean
war and what it involves. Con-
sidering the situation we face
this is wise and proper advice
which we should heed. I should
like to make bold to suggest how
ever that we be willing to tight
en- our belts so far as liquor is
concerned and save some lives
at home. 1t would not involve
any super human sacrifices.
What are some OF the things
we could do to reduce this drink
drive death toll in our country?
Well here are a few: We could
stop the sale of alcohol on the
open highway at places which
can be reached only by autonlo.
bile. We could stop the sale OF
liquor and beer late at night. We
could make chemical tests for
proof of intoxication compulsory
by law. We could increase the
size of our highway patrol staffs
and their compensation to en-.
courage capable men to assume
and continue to serve such tasks
over long periods of time. We
could establish an intermediate
offense for driving while under
the influence of liquor since re-
cent studies in Sweden indicate
that relatively small amounts of
alcohol cause substantial i'm.
pairments of driving ability, and
we could stop this high pressure
advertising of alcoholic bever-
ages and particularly that which
slants at youth.
We could do much by personal
example and encouragement. We
could do many things which help
reduce the amount of alcohol
consumed in our country which
would reduce the death toll in
proportion. We could. where
possible, avoid patroniZing firms
that arc also engaged in the sale
of alcohol. We could discourage
late night carousals and encour-
age participation in church acti
vities on the part of our fellow
man. We could become really
interested in the real brother
hood of man, and the rewards to
us and our society would be al
most beyond measure.

! that the cars brakes had been
applied. Police said that the car
must have been travelling at a
nigh rate of speed. The evening
newspaper that day made no
mention of alcohol having been
involved in the accident, but the
next day the Coroner said the
driver of the car had enough al.
cohol to be considered intoxicat-
ed by National Safety Council
standards.
The driver of the car sustained
serious injuries but survived.
three men who were passengers
died. and the driver of the stand
ing truck was injured. This in
jury and death was a tragic loss
OF great proportions, but 1 am
mindful of those who were left
behind. One man who died was
single and his Father and Moth.
er survived. The other two men
who died were married. One was
survived by his Mother, his wife,
and four children ranging in age
from eight months to fourteen
years. The other was survived by
his Mother, Wife, and five daugh-
terS ranging in age from three
to thirteen years. If this sort of
thing happened once year in
America it would be a tragedy
worth trying to do something
about. but is is a kind of acct
dent that is happening over and
and again every day all over
America. and let me tell you
how often. The National Safety
Councils 1919 edition of "Acci
dent Facts" makes this statement
with reference to the previous
years accident toll: I'm one
fourth Of the fatal accidents the
driver OF pedestrian was reported
to have been drinking" Late in
August of this year this Council
predicted that 1850 will be the
second worst year for traffic
deaths in our history. This pre-
diction was based upon statistics
for the first seven months OF
1850 during which time 1890
were killed. The total death toll
estimate for 1850 was $4,000. It
the same conditions prevail this
year with regard to alcohol and
accidents (and there is no rea-
son to assume otherwise), at
least 5000 people will die this
year in our alcohol-caused traffic
accidents. On September 1st the
Government announced that to-
that time 6S2 had been killed and
2.S9S were missing as a result OF
the Korean campaign. This will
give you at least an idea of the
relative Importance of our drink
drive death problem.
In recent years much progress
has been made in improving the
engineering of automobiles and
highways which has resulted in
reduction of accidents due to-
mechanical failure and poor
highways. We have been teach
ing our drivers more about driv-
ing and the laws of the road and
this has helped. We have attack
ed the problem of an abnormal
number of accidents involving
