A new attitude seems to be
emerging-an attitude which I
can't recall having Sensed as
strongly since the war.
1t is an awareness among
average folks who ordinarily
don't bother to think about in
fiation or the constant rise in
prices.
1t is an awareness which is
not taking just the form Of
a grim resignation to the trend
Rather, it is an awareness which
is taking the form Of an angry
determination to try to force
the spiril 10 a halt by individ-
ual action.

dications are that the length
is dependent upon the over
all design, and upon the
wearer's personal measure
ments. In evening fashions.
the hemline is often uneven.
or placed at two different
levels. which in the past has
always indicated that it is
travelling UPWARD.
WAISTLINES are wav-
ering. but are most often low
cred or, if natural. have a
lower echo in a banded hip
line. The barred waistline be-
comes increasingly important
in sportswear. Another look
is the wrapped or twisted
waist, with crushed GUNNER
bunds on dresses and sports
clothes.
BACK INTEREST is

the new fashions seem to say
follow me-" with low or no
backs in dresses. swimsuits
and playclothes becoming
even more popular. Back
panels, loops. cascades Of fab

Of the devices employed to

FABRICS Cottons and
silks, with linen a strong
runner-up. are the most i'm
portant. Their adaptability
to resort wear, with their
beauty Of color, finish
and texture, make them
ideally suited to California
clothes. Prints abound. with
huge floral motifs-mostly
roses-and a veritable gar
den is a-bloom in the field
Of fabrics. Colors also have a
connotation Of garden-fresh-
ness. and some make the
most Of a mixed-green salad,
with such appetizing names
as lettuce and artichoke

plant purple and tomato red.
Linen is favored for certain
styles, and lends itself adj
mirably to the "chemise" or

similarity that stops short
of being an actual carbon
copy. With every generation,
there is bound to be a family
resemblance, and it's true in
fashion, too. Let's look at
what portends in trends from
California-the fashion orbits

SILHOUETTE Note
worthy and newsworthy, is
the pliancy of the silhouette
that has been called relaxed"
or easy" The socalled
"chemiSe" best defines this
new pliancy, yet demands
even more exacting design
know-how. Not a sack"
but rather a flexible look
above the waist, with a fitted
lower torso, is the key to
shaping the newest styles.

New Life Sought For County's Two
Well Child Conference Organizations

A meeting of community women
interested in the Madison County
Well Child Conferences was held
Thursday, August 9th, at the
Courthouse 1t was pointed out
that many problems have arisen
since the organization of the con-
ferences in 1854 by the Rural
Health Council. Seven were start
ed, and now there are only two
still going Tin Plain City and Lon
dom. Some major difficulties are
lack of people to take the reSpon-
sibility for transporting parents
and children to the clinics, lack
of interest in raising funds to pay
for the conferences, and insuffi-
cient help in stating the confert
enceS.
The group decided to appoint
committees in London and Plain
City to be responsible for finding
money and help for the confer
ences on a regular basis. Repre-
sentatives of these committees
will meet periodically with the
Supervising Nurse of the Health
Department to discuss problems
and progress.
For those people unfamiliar
with Well Child Conferences :
This is a brief description of the
purposes of services.
Well Child Conferences are
sponsored by community-welfare
interested organizations. The Plain

Interest Claimed By Youth

the special contest sled.
Prior to the fair, the Fair
Board had been busy with paint
and saw to improve the outside
appearance of several of the build
ings, as well as the inside faci-
lities. For the first time in several
years the barns for animal ex-
hibits were renovated and painted.
New roofs were added to some
of the buildings to give added
protection to the exhibits, and to
give a well-kept appearance to
the grounds.
One of the major factors credit
ed with the success of the 1857
fair was the lack of rain during
the five day event. Generally, ac-
cording to spokesmen, at least one
day of the fair has been broken
with drenching rains, and frequent
ly this has caused suspension of
the race program. All three DAYS
of racing went on as scheduled
this year.
The Fair Board members ex-
pressed their appreciation for all
who helped make the 1857 Fair
such an improvement over the
1856 version, and asked that the
cooperation be continued so as to
make succeeding fairs even better.
Incidentally, several exhibits of
Madison County origin have al
ready been entered in the Ohio
State Fair which is now in full
swing at Columbus.
