Ill change IN the fadS around my
school, Clothes this year are more casual
than ever before, and there is larger
variety Of styles. Fashions have changed
to loosen fitting, more comfortable gar
ments; but hemlines are not quite as
short as they were last year.
The first word in materials this year
is madras. Although the old folks around
my house have told me that madras has
been around for long time, it began to
gain popularity with the younger set this
year.
Ky0u are unacquainted with madras,
you may be interested to know that it is
hand woven in India and features several
peculiarities. It is guaranteed to bleed,
guaranteed to have flaws in the weaving,
and guaranteed to shrink.
Despite its imperfections, its popu-
larity has steadily increased. You can
find just about any article Of clothing in
madras this year. For example, the fash
ions run from madras dresses, shirts,
skirts, belts and tennis shoes, to madras
scarfs and suspenders. know of one
store which even carries madras under
wear!
Other materials which were once
ignored have suddenly sprung into pOpu-
larity. For example, denim, seersucker,
burlap, gingham, oxford cloth and sail
cloth are now used for many garments.
Not only the materials have changed
this year but also the colors which they
come in. Muted pastels seem to stay quite
popular, but they are now accompanied
by dark, subtle shades such as burgundy
red, navy blue, olive green, mustard vel
low and dark brown.
Skirts have undergone q revolution
airy change the past few years. Full skirts
with bouncy crinolines are now almost
completely forgotten. The newest thing in
skirts is the wrap-around. Some are re-
versible and can be worn on either side.
Culottes, which split down the middle,
are also new in my school. The A-line
skirt has become very popular this year.
Hip-Stitched pleated skirts and straight
skirts are always in style. There are many
variations and combinations of these
styles. For example, there are wrap
around culOttes and pleated skirts which
separate down the middle like culottes
The girls have stolen the man-tail-
ored shirt from masculine apparel. But
tOn-down collars (alSO known as ivy
league shirts are now worn as often by
the girls as by the boys. Round collars and
cardigan collars (no-collar blouses) are
also very popular for feminine shirts.
ROll-up sleeves and sleeves with barrel
cuffs are very much in fashion along with

a blouse like jumper while others are
worn by themselves. Many are cut
straight, but the A-shape shift is the
newest addition to fashion. II often has
big pockets and is belted by spaghetti
sash or tie belt. The dependable shirt
waist never grows old. It may be straight
orfull, and varies greatly in style. Dresses
have lost most of their bounce and frill,
and the trend is toward simple designs.
Most of the girls around my school
wear tennis shoes or loafers with nylOn
stockings. Bobby socks and oxford shoes
are things Of the past. don't know any
girl who would be caught dead in them
now (but there's always someone who's
an exception. Madras, denim and burlap
have now changed the scene for purses,
although straw and leather shoulder
strap purses also are still very much in
style. Suspenders, head Scarfs or ban
dannas and cummerbunds are something
new in feminine fashion.
Boys shirts are almost entirely ivy
league, although tab collars are accept
able if they are left unbuttOned. Shirts
with open or pointed collars are out Of
style, but have noticed that the "old
folks" wear them quite often. The sleeves
should be either long with barrel cuffs or
short. Boys shirts, like girls, are made
in all of the more popular materials; but
! have noticed that burgundy red and
navy blue oxford cloth shirts are espec,
tally popular with the boys.
Olacks or Lewis are usually made of
heavy or crisp cotton blends. The color
should be subtle or neutral shades like
tan, black, khaki and brown. Sport jackets
have gone daring and now come in every
material imaginable. Proper footwear
for boys is usually loafers or saddle shoes
with crew socks. Heavy leather belts are
very popular with the boys, along with
belts made from the popular materials
like madras and seersucker. know sew
eral girls who have bought boys belts be-
cause they prefer the heavy leather.
Boys seem to like ties of dark, solid
colorS, except for the madras ones. It's
my observation that many boys are either
cOlor-blind or have bad taste, for many
wear two different, madras plaids to-
gether.
The newest fad to hit my school this
year was the whaler (alSo known as
parkas or windbreakersl The first ones
to come out we're made of nylon. Now they
are made Of all the popular materials.

Baka'is 10 Observe World Religion Day

The Baha'is of the Matanus- ka Valley invite the people o1 the area to join in their ooser- vance of World Religion Day by attending a public meeting at the Guffey residence, one fourth mile off the Glenn High way on Plumbley Road, at 2:3o pm. on Sunday, Jan. 20.
 Observances of this day will be held throughout the world. Mans search for a way to i've peacefully in a unified world has led the heads of many churches and religious sects oi the world to realize the need for the oneness of mankind and religion, local Baha'is have pointed out. Councils such as the one called by Pope John IT Rome are meeting to look foI way to bring together the many thoughts, ideas, and oe- liefs dividing the churches.

Strange Things

trip was over she felt as though she weighed a ton.
 In the muskeg, which was swampy and covered with moss and short grass, they sank in up to their ankles at every step. They stumbled over hum- mocks. The bacon grease which they had smeared over their hands and face for protection against the swarm of mosquit- oes had melted in the hot sun, and mixed with the perspira- tion painting their faces like Indians. Worst of all, since they were holding the poles, they had no chance of killing the mosquitoes biting their hands and neck.
 For hours that seemed like days. they dragged the awk- ward dead weight endlessly through the muskeg. At last they came to the top of the slope that led down to the lake, and carefully they set the stretcher on the ground.
 While the men wiped the sweat out of their eyes, the young woman threw back the light blanket and rose. Stand ing beside the stretcher, she turned to her husband and laughed.
 "I told you I'd never walk out of this damned country" she said, and went running lightly down the bank toward the lake.
 The four men stood there, dazed. Jim looked at the man briefly. The mans face was as white as the face of dead man.
 They all sat down for short while. Nobody said anything but the Swede, who said, Well, I be ?XX?QSMNH"
 Jim got up first, walked over to the man, shook his hand, and led his partners back through the swamp to their camp.

The International Committee of the Red Cross entered the headlines when President Ken nedy agreed with a Soviet pro- posal to have the International Committee carry out agreed upon inspection procedures during the current Cuban cris- is. What is the International Committee of the Red Cross? The American Red Cross has released the following informa- ton about the Swiss organiza- tion: It is a group of 25 Swiss citizens with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. They are completely autonomous-non- political, non-sectarian. The funds for the ICRC come from an annual campaign which is limited to Switzerland, volun- tary contributions from private citizens, national Red Cross so- cieties and governments. The ICRC is recognized by virtual ly every nation in the world as the neutral channel for nego- tiation between belligerents in the protection of victims of war. and as means by which organized relief can cross bat tie lines or enter an area of conflict.

All women are good. Some are better.
 Jimmy St. Clair, who came to Alaska in 1900 at the age ot 25, and his partners, George Murphy and Lars Anderson were working their placer gold claims in the Cache Creek country, located on the south ern slope of Mount Mckinley.
 No sooner was gold discov- cred in 1906, than the stampede to the diggings started the fol- lowing year. AS usual. many were Cheechakos, who had not the slightest idea how to take care of themselves, let alone how to travel in an unknown country full of swamps, mus keg and mosquitoes. Among them were young man and his wife. who were located about six miles from the St Clair camp.
 On nice warm Sunday, Jim suggested that as it was Sun- day, they visit their neighbors. They found the man on the bank of the creek, and he in- vited them to have something to eat. Entering the hut, made out of canvas and sticks, he ex- plained that his wife was sick.
 The found the woman on a bed made of spruce boughs. She talked with the miners, and | showed great dislike for the country. Later, the man told Jim and his friends that she had been in bed for a couple of weeks.
 I've got to get her to a doc tor, but I don't see how 1 am going to do it," he said des- pondently.
 While the man went back into the hut, the miners talked things over, and it was decided to transport her to Wade Lake, where a small boat was moor ed, to take her to civilization and doctor. They rigged up a kind of stretcher of canvas and poles with shoulder straps and tenderly laid the sick woman on the stretcher. The woman's weight was about l60 pounds, but Jim said that before the

words as "a sort Of shorthand
way" Of expressing a general
position that a government
has a right to do whatever is

He explained that at q New

rather off-the-cuff manner at
