For HOLIDAYS
AP Newsfeatures

Holiday hats will be as gay as
the ornaments on the Christmas
tree this year-and just as i'm
pOrtant in the festive scene.
The new slim silhouettes give
added emphasis to hats in the cur
rent fashion picture-and the bare
headed girl will look strictly out
of-date in the holiday lineup.
Milliners Of both New York and
Paris interpret the bulkier siIhOu-
cite in various ways, as demon
strated at recent showing of holi-
day hats by the millinery industry.
The peach basket shape is inter-
preted by Claude St. Cyr, of Paris,
in dramatic hat with black trans
parent petals forming the brim, and
tiny blue satin crown. The same
milliner shows a striking deep
cloche of stitched yellow satin
banded with brown velvet, worn
pulled down on the head and almost
covering all the hair.
In the spirit of holiday gaiety is
John Frederics' small white satin
pillbox in Empress Eugene style

The county parties are a part

Mrs. Adams recalled that one
year, the delegation had a hi
larious time when they called
upon the initiates to enact a
skit with unrehearsed parts
that were Unexpectedly handed

Another homemaker recalled
that it had been her lot to bob
for apples, only on the third
try she and her fellow suffers
found themselves ducking their
faces in a tub of -four.
Among the halest and heart
lest of the homemakers taking
the course are several septua-
genarians and octogenarians.
In fact, fellow Prince
Georges County homemakers
of 84-year-old Miss Iva Wood
ruff, who makes her home in

school teacher whose secret of
good health and vitality is
that she's "kept busy and

have even planned the meals a

Mr.. Friedman was critical
of Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles, whom he described
as a master of the delicate art

Disagrees With Senator
The newsman also took is
sue with a recent statement
by Senator Barry Goldwater
of Arizona, in which the Sen
ator predicted that the Con-
servative Party victory in
Britain presaged a Republic
can triumph in this country
in 1856.
There is no comparison
between the British Conserva-
tive Party and the Republican
Party in this country" he
said. "The British Conserva-
tive Party long ago gave up
grudging half-hearted at
tempts to meet the demands
of the public. It developed q
talent for ministering to the
emergent needs of the people"
Mr.. Friedman applauded
this country for showing no
hesitancy" in support of Ger
many.
"The worst possible gesture
would have been a half
hearted alliance" he de-
clared. IF ever there was a
Germany worthy of our sup
port it is this one it con-
suits not its fears but its
hopes"
He also praised this countr!
for fighting in Korea-"what
the Republicans call the Tru-
man war;" This action saved
the United Nations from dis
integrating, and if it had been
allowed to disintegrate I'VE
