and neutrality-suspicious.
py by newspaper and radio.
Mrs. Fatima Mansuri, Pakistan's
first lady of broadcasting and wo-
mans page editor of Karachi's
weekly Dawn, newspaper printed
in the Pakistani dialect called Guj-
rati, is now on her way back home
after attending the ninth Interna-
tional Congress on Home Economics
held recently at the University of
Maryland. Here on a travel grant
from the Asia Foundation, she is
loaded down with material on food
and nutrition. But she wonders just
how she can use most of it for Paki-
stan housewives have slightly diff
erent problems than those in the
United States.
Take, for one example, the editors
problem of keeping her women
readers informed on the last word
in fashion. In this country, house,
wives are fighting the battle of the
sack, the chemise and the trapeze.
In MCslem Pakistan, women-as
they have for centuries-wear saris,
long cloths draped and wound a
round their bodies and covering
them from shoulders to ankle.
Dress Never Changes
"The saris themselves never
change" explained Mrs. MansEri,
"but the color combinations do.
Some time ago, it was the vogue
to wear printed saris over printed
blouses. Then that changed and
we were wearing plain blouses
and printed saris or vice versa.
The latest is plain colored saris
and plain blouses-of any number
Of colcrs, of course, and some
times with a. little embroidery on
them"
A Pakistan newspaper writer and
broadcaster has problems of COM
munication never encountered by
Americans. For one thing about
80 per cent of the population is
lliterate-hence, unable to read
newspapers-and too poor to afford
radios. Mainly, she says, she is
writing and broadcasting for urban
housewives.
"When we talk or write about
food. we can't emphasize recipes,
because there are scarcities of many
things. And, of course, women do
Milford chronicle., 1958-09-05

not have the equipment available
here-electric refrigerators, for in
stance, or automatic stoves. We
still use charcoal, wood or oil for
cooking. And most things except
rice and wheat-particularly the
cereals-are very expensive"
Recently, says Mrs. Mansuri, bits
of marital advice have begun to
creep into newpaper columns and
broadcasts; even suggestions that
the housewives think about keeping
or getting slim.
"Our women are becoming doc
tors, nurses, teachers, college pro-
fessors," she said. "a few are law
years, few businesswomen and
fewer still are newspaper women
and broadcasters. More and more
are becoming secretaries, typists
and clerical workers. There is no
resistance by our men; they know
the women are necessary. And OF
course, we have had the vote from
the beginning"
Many Pakistan husbands and
wives work together. Mrs. Mansuri
is one of them. Her husband Ghu-
lamnabi Mansuri is editor of Dawn

Inside Story
By DOROTHY ROE


Associated Press WOmen's Editor
THE TWO-PIECE TRAPEZE is
one of the gayest, youngest sill
houettes of the season, especially
when it's done in a soft, fieecy
wool. A popular variation is the
versatile sleeveless suit. This may
be worn as is for a movie date, or
with a sweater for street or cam
pus wear.
Local sewing center experts
point out that though the silhouette
is simple. construction of two
piece trapeze takes little sewing
know-how. Underlinings, are essen
tial to preserve the fiaring line,
and pattern companies are placing
extra emphasis on the unGercover
story.
The simplest way to make such
a suit is to cut out both lining and
fabric at once, making the same al
terations on each. The underlining
then is basted to the fabric and
both pieces are worked together.
fnch-rulers printed on the pattern
pieces make it easy to achieve
accurate alterations.
When heavy woolen is used for
the suit, the underlining must be
firm enough to support the fabric,
yet flexible enough to hold the
rounded, soft lines of the design.
Siri, woven acetate, is one of the
Innings recommended for crease
resistance and permanent body.
This unique fabric takes colors as
beautifully as silk, SO Innings may
match or contrast with the gar
ment.

been built by the 'wait-and-see''
attitude created among prospective
buyers during the past year. And
there is huge pent-up market
for Oldsmobiles that will soon
break loose because the 1859 Olds-
mobiles will appeal to more people,
even more than the 1854 and '55
models, which today are still so
popular with the used car buyer,
he said
Wolfram told the auto editors
that Oldsmobile expects to sell 8
per cent of the predicted industry
total of 512 million cars in 1859.
He continued, Il think all the
elements of good year are begin
ming to shape up. Several signifi-
cant business indices have started
to reflect an upturn in the general
economy. But equally important to
the automobile industry is the fact
that about million cars year are
being scrapped."
During the afternoon the news
men attended private showing of
the 1869 Oldsmobile and in the eve-
ming saw the special dealer show,
Good News About Oldsmobile for
1852, a Broadway musical design
ed to tell and show the dealers all
about the new models in an enter
tanning way.
Oldsmobile's new car showing
has already been presented to more
than half of the divisions dealers
and members of their retail selling
organizations.
II have seen many new car an
nouncements, but never in my ex-
perience have our dealers been so
enthusiastic about a product as
they are this year." Wolfram said
Il am very much encouraged by
their response to our new models
and our dealers confident outlook
for improved business" he added
That's why I am so confident
and optimistic about Oldsmobile
for 1959-more sales-more produc-
ton = more employment - which
would mean more prosperity for
everyone associated with Oldsmo-
bile-and for that matter, business
in general all over the country, -
Wolfram concluded.

TRAPEZE SUIT: Lining is inn
portant to preserve lines of new
silhouette.
When working with undertakings,
it is recommended that you over
cast lining and fabric together on
seam edges. This keeps seam edges
fiat, to insure a smooth silhouette.
If you own one of the new slant
needle automatic sewing machines,
you will find that you can set the
machine for an open zigzag stitch
and zip along all scam edges speed
lily and neatly.
Correct Innings are important for
other new fashions, also. The back
pleated sheath should have light
weight lining from the yoke to
hold its slim line. The knee-founce
version of the sheath also needs
an undermining to maintain the
crispness of the flounce.

lOldsmObile To Have New
Body Styles IN 1859

The automobile industry in gen.
eral, and Oldsmobile in particular,
are headed for a successful 1859
model year, according to the opti-
mistic prediction made in Detroit
today by Jack F. Wolfram, general
manager OF Oldsmobile and vice
president Of General Motors.
Speaking TO the nations automo-
bile writer's and editors gathered
in Detroit to preview the 1859 Olds-
mobile, Wolfram revealed that
Oldsmobile will introduce two COM
pletely new body styles in its 1859
line. They are the Holiday Sport
Sedan-a sporty four-door family
size car-and the two-door Holiday
SceniCOupe which has an entirely
new silhouette, snappy appear
ance and exceptional visibility in
all directions. The two new styles
will be available throughout the
Oldsmobile line.
II. believe that these two body
styles will attract the many peo-
pie who want totally new auto

know our customers are going
to like that"
"Oldsmobile's styling for 1852"
Wolfram said, lis entirely different
than anything we've done in the
past, with clean lines, yet still ex-
citing, brilliant and distinctiyely
Olds."
"Our customers will also like
Oldsmobile's greater trunk space
up to 81 per cent more in the Dy-
manic '88's and the Super 1875. In
fact" he added, more room is a
big feature of the entire 1859 Olds-
mobile line. AS a result of requests
from our customers we have built
more room and more comfort into
all our models. There's more
shoulder room, more hip room and
more leg room"
Many mechanical innovations de-
signed for added comfort, safety
and economy of operation were
outlined to the press on an off-the-
record basis pending first public
showing in Oldsmobile dealer show
rooms Friday, October 8.
Production will begin the first
week in September, Wolfram said,
with initial schedules calling for a
production rate of 25 per cent over
what it has been during the latter
months of the 1858 model schedule.
I'VE will add approximately 1900
people to the payroll within a few
weeks of start-up," the Oldsmobile
general manager said "Then as we
80 farther into the new model year,
we'll have chance to evaluate
dealer demand and the market and
adjust our schedules accordingly.
I'm confident they'll be upward, /"
he said
Wolfram commented that in the
highly competitive 1858 model year
customer preference had boosted
Oldsmobile to first place in the
medium price class.
"And as champions of the medi-
um price class l want to serve
warning to all competitors that
we're going to keep that position, !"
Wolfram declared.
Wolfram credited Oldsmobile's
sales position to its styling, engin-
eering and high reputation for
quality together with the excellent
cooperation of the Oldsmobile
dealers "who are making such good
progress in the quality merchan-
dising of our product.
Looking toward the coming
year, Wolfram said there is pent-
up market for automobiles that has
