RICHMOND, Va, July "a
Much of the fever has gone out
of the postwar industrial boom
in the South.
But if the growth is noticeably
slower today in the Southern
seaboard states it is still evident
and steady.
The economy looks healthy so
far, Edward A. Wayne, first vice
president Of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond, says. Timely
rains in many areas have helped
the cotton and tobacco farmers,
Retail trade holds up well. The
ailing textile, hosiery and allied
industries-which account for
about one third of the dollar
value of the economy in the
region--may have reached the
turning point. And businessmen
here expect times to be generally
good in the South this fall and
winter.
Worries Exist
There are worries. Some
wonder in a hush-hush manner
if the segregation fight may deter
plans of a few companies to
locate here until it is settled one
way or another. Expansion plans
here, as elsewhere, may be halted
for awhile If steel shortages grow
acute. The still booming south
west and far west are challenging
rivals for future industrial
growth.
And total construction in part
of this region has been declininl
this year in comparison to last
while in the rest of the Natior
it has been gaining until jus
recently.
Federal Reserve economists re-
port that construction contract

Were fond of travelling
and because We want to travel
light. we have this type of
dress with detachable sleeves.
It will serve for three different
occasions" Mrs. Constante v.
Batoon, wife of the assistant
cultural attache, Philippine
Embassy, told 600 home econ
omists in business yesterday.
Mrs. Batoon demonstrated
the ways in which the terno
or Filipino dress may be worn
at the final luncheon of the
Heb section of the American
Home Economies Association
pre-convention meetings.
The general sessions of the
AHEA officially begin today
with the meetings to be held
at the National Guard Armory.
Vying for the attention of
visiting home economists will
be 218 exhibitors. displaying

ems to the easiest way to put

planned. tits long like all
oriental women wear but UNI
like most of the dresses that
are cut on one line, the Fill
Pine women follow the latest
fashions of the times. But
always we have the butterfly
sleeves"
BY removing the panuelo
(neckerchief), the dress be-
comes a costume to wear at
tea-time. Swapping of the de-
tachable sleeves and adding a
mantilla, the dress is trans
formed into an occidental
evening dress. A dress that
would be in fashion in Amer
lea, Paris or in the Philippines.
The gown Mrs. Batoon wore
yesterday was made of just
-. a material that is a COM
bination of pima and raw silk
with a Shadowy embroidery
that gives the appearance of
lace. It's a gosSamer fabric,
light, cool and graceful.
Native Dances
After a morning spent in
business sessions, a fun"
luncheon had been planned
for the closing session. Mrs.
Wani Sukoro from the In

the guests with the spectacular
fire dance" of her country.
A group from the Philippine
Embassy presented the color

of the pageant was the tricky
bamboo dance that requires
agility on the part of the
dancers and perfect timing on
that of the bamboo heaters.
Nine. Notowidigdo, wife of
the IndoneSian Ambassador,

We go about our days so
busily and have SO many UNI
expected things happen that
we often have only a vague
idea Of what we really look
like. We know that every
thing is not just as we wish
but we may not analyze our
selves in order to put into
effect the remedial measures
we most need.
Every woman should peri
odically look herself over with
an objective and honest eye
to see just what she needs
in the way of self-improve-
ment. The signs Of age slip
up on us gradually. Even in
six months changes can take
place which can be remedied
more easily If we do not wait
too long.
Perhaps at times in your life,
you have realized that you
gained a little weight, that
your abdomen or hips seemed
much larger than usual; how
ever you did not weigh or
measure yourself. You may
have let things slide until you
were shocked when you gave
yourself a real once-over. This
can happen easily. We soon
become accustomed to small
changes and may allow them
to become worse as time
goes on.
If you decide to analyze
yourself and become the most
attractive you. perhaps you
should begin with your figure.
Stand in front of a full-length
mirror, without clothes, and
look at yourself. Even before
measuring you will know what
exercises you need most. Then
measure and weigh yourself.
Also note your posture. This

If you are a teen-ager living

your summer work plans are

an important rehearsal for
that all-important, big-time
