Pattern Firms
Adopt Revised
Wonen's Sizes

Mrs, Catherine M. Rhoads, Mont
gomerey County home demon
agent, received word this
week from Alice Linn, Uniteo
States Department of Agriculture
Extension Clothing Specialist,
that new measurement charts are
appearing in all pattern cata-
logues. The chart is based on
the results of a long study of
the American woman's figure
made by the pattern industry.
This study indicates that mod
ern foundation garments and bras
have made certain changes in fig
ure contours. These changes art
in the revised standard
of measurements that all major
pattern companies are now using
in the patterns they make.
This is the way to use the new
measurement chart Mrs. Rhoads
says: First, be sure you know
what your correct measurement
are. Next, find your measure
ments on the chart and buy the
size pattern that corresponds to
your measurements. If you ar
choosing a dress, blouse, suit, o
coat pattern, your bust measure
ment will determine the size yol
need. If it is a separate skirt
Stacks or shorts you want t.
make, your waist measurement,
will determine your pattern size.
There's one exception to this Sec
ond rule: If your hips are larger
than shown for that size, select
your pattern size by hip measure.
ment.
You'll notice that these new
measurement charts say that the
given measurements are body
measurements, not garment mea-
surements," says Mrs. Rhoads.
This simply means that these are
the measurements you take on
your own body. The finished
garment always has some ease
allowance in addition to the body
measurements so you can move
comfortably when you wear the
garment"

vited the council to reproduce the
booth Mrs. Penny Wise and Mrs.

This exhibit, based on studies in
nutrition and marketing that are
a part of the extension service
program, featured two lady shop
pers and their market baskets,
showing the comparative nutri-
tional value and lower cost Of
Mrs. Penny Wise's carefully
planned shopping as opposed to
the haphaZard buying of Mrs.

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The fact that these young
people probably made a mistake
i'm marrying. especially when
they did. does not mean that a
divorce would be the corrective.
A divorce would probably pile
mistake on top of mistake, and
then Bill in camp would be free
for all kinds of involvement, and
Jane would be the youthful di-
Ivorcee she breads being.
While Jane is right in not
wishing to rush Into a divorce,
she is terribly wrong if she at
tempts to force her way of life
on Bill. She must respect Bits
feelings of self-respect.
1t is not good reasoning to
conclude that if the act of mar
riage was a mistake, it cannot
be made to work. Few marriages
are ideal, and even fewer ideally
timed, but most turn out to be
worthwhile. The trouble here is
that Jane has made the worst of
bad situation by failing to see
Bills viewpoint and by being too
rigid in her ideas. She should
strive to be less difficult. and Bill
may again feel his love shining
through the clouds of a very
complicated period of his life.

GLOBETROTTERS CAGE GIANT
WEE WILLIE" OUTSTANDING

DETROIT, Mich Basketball
fans in the middleweSt will have
their first opportunity to see
Willie Gardner of the Harlem
Globetrotters in action since he
came out of the service recently.
One of the few players ever
to come right out of high school
and crash the TrotterS' fabulous
lineup, Gardner is once again
with Abe Saperstein's famous
quintet.
A cage giant-he's six feet-7
inches tall "Wee Willie" was
the most sought-aftar PLAYER in
the country when ho graduated
from Indianapolis Crispus At
tucks high school and announc-
ed that he preferred a profess
sional basketball career to col
lege.
Now % years old, Gardner
signed with the GlobetrotterS
in 1853 and was an immediate
sensation. Big and strong, Willie
amazed the most seasoned OBJ
servers with his fine shooting,
excellent passing and. above all,
his speed. "He'S the faSteStS big
man in basketball" Saperstein
declared at the time.
He was especially outstanding
in the 1854 World Series of
Basketball, against the College
All-AmericanS. He was voted the
most valuable player award by
writer's covering the series. Then
Willie went into the army for
a two-year stint. Back in action
now, he's just as good as ever.
"I played a lot Of basketball
in the SERVICE" he explained
when he rejoined the Trotters.
I'm in excellent shape.

Results of a recent survey
made by the City Public Health

survey covered projects within
