Fashions For The Short-Full
Figure
The short-stout figures calls
for fashion lines and designs
that are an asset to the figure,
just as any figure type.
If you fit the short-full fig
ure type, fashion experts say
vou should look for up-and
down lines; gored or flat pleat
ed skirts and slim skirts with &
straight line. Pointed collars
“y”. and narrow, square and
ecollarless necklines are good
also. Vertical front openings
folds or piping giving a vertical
line, have a slenderizing effect.
Narrow self belts, modified
princess lines and raised bust
lines are good. For coats and
suits, choose semi-fitted jack
ets, full length straight loose
coats.
The prints you choose should
be small in design, Preferably
on dark backgrounds. Smali
polka dots and vertical lines
seem to make the short figure
become taller and more slender,
Avoid lustrous and clinging
{ibrics. As a general rule,
choose smooth, firm-bodied op
aque fabrics.
As for color, try to be happy
with the dark or medium tones.
They seem to miminize size.
Pastels and brights emphasize
it. Use monochromatic colors in
dressing and accessories. |
What are some things you
want to avoid with the short{
figure? A few of these would
include horizontal lines; choker
necklines; round collars; yokes,
shirring, full tucks; patch
pockets; shortie coats; puffed,
full or bell sleeves, wide cuffs;
wide Dbelts and contrasting
colors, and very heavy, bulky
materials, with sharp bright
colors and splashing patterns.
I hope these points serve as a
guide to those of you who fall
into the short-full figure type
and ask yourself constantly
what looks good on your type
figure.

Education And The Future Os

The number of high school
seniors who fail to take ad

day's educators. In fact, it
should be alarming to anyone\

and then look into the figure as
to what higher education can
.| mean to these young people.
.| In 1959, only 1/3 of the farm
.| seniors reported definite plans
to enter college. About 2 of
inon-farm seniors reported
{plans for college.
| What happens to the youth
who do not attend college? A
mong men who had failed to
complete high school, more
than half were classed as
operators, laborers, other than
farm, and service workers.
Very few were in professional
or managerial occupations.
Only seven percent were in
white collar jobs. {
| The unemployment rate of)
men who had not graduated
from high school was almost
double that of high school
graduates. The rate was three
times that of college graduates.
It’s true that it costs money
to go to college, But, the esti
mated lifetime earnings of the
college trained person and non
college trained person should
convince one of the profitabl2
investment in higher education.
The estimated lifetime earnings
of the college graduate i 3
$286,000, This compares to
$165,000 for the high school
graduate and $116,000 for the
person with only an elementary
}education.
Manpower Development And
Training Act |
| Giant steps are being taken |
to train and retrain our people
so they can have gainful em
ployment.
The newest and broadest
federal program for training
and retraining will be carried
out under the Manpower Deve
lopment and Training Act of
1962. This program may be of |
assistance in any area. It wiil
provide occupational training
for unemployed or underem
ployed workers who can rea-
Isonably be expected tc secure
{employment after training.
| I understand that priority for
training under the Act will be
given to unemployed workers.
During the period of training,
unemployed trainees may be
i paid a federal allowance for 52
weeks. Workers in farm fami
\lies with a net annual income
of less than $1,200 will be
|| eligible for the same benefits
as unemployed workers.
Unemployed or underem
ployed workers will be tested,
counseled and selected for
training and provided with
placement . services following
'|the training period.
.| It's hoped that many people
lin Newton County will soon
get a chance to take advantage
{of this new training program.
| Several type of educational or
| training programs are being
| conducted at the state and local
levels by public and private
agencies.
’ This Week's Tip ‘
Frozen orange concentrate is
|inexpensive and can be used
in many ways. One way it can

the concentrate with ne cup
of salad oil, add %2 to one tea
spoor: of salt and a dash of red
pepper sauce, Pour over a mix
fed fruit salad or a scoop of
cottage cheese, nestled in let
tuce leaves,
Pecan Time
The pecan season is here and,
as you know, pecans can high
light the family's favorite
dishes.
You can use pecans so many
different ways. As an appetizer,
try adding them to dips for
potato chips and crackers. For
an international flavor, you
may want to dust pecan halves
with curry powder. Use sliver
ed pecans for a casserole top
ping or in the stuffing for the
holiday turkey. Add them to
fruit pies, packaged puddings
and to custards and cobblers
for a new flavor.
' Pecans are good additions to
some pies and cakes also. Top
pumpkin pies with chopped
pecans mixed with cinnamon
and brown sugar. Finely chop
ped pecans are wonderful in
your favorite cake recipe, es
pecially a rich, dark chocolate
cake.
To add glamour and gaiety
to family meals, use pecans.
They taste good and are good
for you. Enjoy some of the|
fresh crop now.
Cranberries
A record crop of e¢ranberries
is being harvested ncw. They
will be coming from the
marshlands of Massachusetts,
Wisconsin, New Jersey, Wash
ington and Oregon.
Cranberry juice can be a de
lightful and different addition
to the breakfast menu. This
bright, berry-red juice is sure
to get you off to a peppy start
in the morning.
As a before-meal appetizer,
serve cranberry juice hot, com
bined with stick cinnamon,
cloves and other spices. It may
also be served icy-cold with a
twist of lemon.
Cranberry juice also goes to
a party. Combine it with a
carbonated beverage, some
orange juice, lemonade and
pineapple juice.
In cooking, cranberry juice
adds the gourmet touch. Add it
to gravies, ;or use it to baste
ham or poultry. Try baking
apples in cranberry juice or
adding it to applesauce. Use it
for color in cake frosting.
Asian “Flu” Immunization ‘
Health and medical authori-|
ties in Georgia are forecasting |
widespread outbreaks of Asian 1
flu this Fall and Winter. Based |
on the fact that the “flu season”
tends to recur in two year
cycles, the coming Winter could
be an epidemic year.
Modern influenza vaccines
'offer'mg protection against
{ Asian flu, and several other
common influenza strains, are
now available.
Reaction to these vaccines
are uncommon and, if they do
occur, are usually quite mild.
However, medical authorities
say that it is not advisable for
persons to take this vaccine if
they are unable to eat eggs or
chicken because of a food all
ergy. Those persons who have’
had a definite allergie reaction |
from pervious vaccines are also
advised not to take the vaccine.
If you are in one of the high
risk groups, it is especially im
portant for vou to get the flu
shots. Those in the high risk
groups include: .
All persons over 65 years of |
age regardless of whether you !
are in good or poor health, 'm-l
dividuals suffering from certain |
chronic disorders and expectant |
mothers, regardless of age. ’
Individualsin the high risk|
groups are not considered more |
susceptible to influenza than
other individuals, though Lheyl
are more likely to develop com- |
plications if they have Asian |
flu. The fatality rates are nat-i
urally greater in the high risk |
groups. I
Now is the time to take ad
vantage of the available pro
tection against having the|
“flu.” Consult your physician
fregarding a n immunization
| schedule against “the flu sea- |
son.” |
