The Sorosis Club met in the
home of Mrs. Eddie Crumpton
Thursday, May 13.
As program leader, Mrs.
Allen Holley opened with the
quotation: “Now is the Time For
All Good Women to Come to
Their Own Aid.”
Roll call was answered with
*A safety measure.”
Mrs. V. H. Worley gave a
talk on environmental health-
contributing factors. She stated
that Earth Day, celebrated on
April 22, 1971, was to make the
public more aware of environ-
mental pollution which has
caused an upsurge of interest
across the nation in the many
areas of pollution.
Noxious substances in the
air, such as carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, silicas and
dusts contribute to the rising
rate of bronchial and pulmon-
ary ailments.
Noise, another “air pollut-
ant” can be literally deafening
and may damage the hearing
of humans, not to mention their
blood vessels, hearts and ner-
vous systems.
Over- population nearly
always has disasterous conse-
quences. Urban dwellers, who
suffer stress from the pres-
sures of over-crowded condi-
tions, may have digestive up-
sets, heart aliments and
nervous diseases.
Television influences human
behavior in children. C ondition-
ed as they are to daily hours
of violence on TV programs,
often they become more will-
ing to engage in aggressive
action when provoking circum-
stances arise.
Smoking may be considered
environmental. One out of
every four teenagers smokes,
mainly because his friends
smoke.
The Status of Women - “Is
there room at the top for a
woman?” was given by Mrs.
Zack Isbell.
It may be hard for a woman
to reach the top, but occasional-
ly it happens and when it does
happen, the question looms,
“But how?”
The formulas by which dif-
ferent people become success-
ful may differ widely, but at
least they are all doing some-
thing right. She cited opinions
of five women in Washington
who tell of different rooms
waiting at the top. One out-
standing opinion was: “The way
in which you are regarded and
what is expected of you is fairly
important to what you expect
of yourself.”

Fashion
Spotlights
from
From Mildred and Cecil Carr
who have been in Dallas the last
five days attending the impres-
sive showing of fall fashions at
fabulous Apparel Mart comes
exciting news!
Buying for Paducah’s ex-
clusive Hall-Scruggs, the
couple proclaims that the
autumn styles truly reveal that
this is “an age of self-
expression.”
Fashion experts describing
the fall market displays at
Dallas Apparel Mart declare
that “fashion makers are
striving diligently to effectively
interpret consumer demands
for colors that relate to the
times, quick-change costumes
and apparel which suit many
moods.”
The Carrs strongly agree
with this decision and are re-
turing to Paducah the middle
of this week from ordering
fall clothes which truly fit this
criteria.
The Paducahans said they
had been exposed to the most
varied presentation of clothes
they have seen until now and
in line with their favorite items
in their Paducah store, the
Carrs are concentrating on
coordinated component parts
within a collection.
Mildred and Cecil Carr were
among some 10,000 buyers
viewing the current fall and
back-to -school market re-
presenting items from some
3,000 salesmen.
The buyers also have been
receiving authoritative fashion
news information (contem-
porary looks and how to pull it
all together) from the special
events which began last Satur-
day and continued
Tuesday at the Mart.
Generally speaking, the
Carrs send word, the lineup of
new fashions show pretty
dresses with lots of sleeve in-
HALLSCRUGGS
terest, ranging from leg-
o-mutton to cape and deep cut
dolman.
Collar and sleeve treatments
are favorite ways of broaden-
ing shoulder lines; waists are
well defined and accentuated
with wide belts; skirts are
fluid and feature pleats, bias
cuts or gores.
Handcraft accents are
popular, with banding, smocking
and quilting used for both trim
or complete garments, such as
quilted corduroy shortails.
In fact, some of the fashion
trends cited by the Hall-Scruggs
authorities are:
Shoulders: Wider, higher,
lapels widened, stretched out
shoulders, emphasis upon
sleeves.
Shapes: Express a feeling of
freedom, follow body lines,
mostly belted, biased or sash.
Skirts: Flared from long to
flippy, lean hips, return to
waistline; pleats, side and
front openings, buttons, hem-
lines most popular at knee.
Necklines: Deep, plunge V,
halters, surplices, schoops,
square neck, banded, Mandarin
collars.
Dresses: Daytime, shirt-
dress, chemise set the stage;
supple soft, flippy skirts;
jackets, coats compatible with
dresses.
Dress After-Five FEMININE.
Pantsuits: New cropped
jackets, cuffed, trimmed in
leather; important three-piece
weekender suit.
Fabrics: Cottons, polyesters,
acrylics, denim jersey.
In fact, Hall-Scruggs buyers,
the Carrs, will tell you that de-
signers all over have returned
to the classics in a spirited
way, even borrowing from the
30*s, 40’s and even reaching
back to the 20’s, “but very
avant-garde, very 70ish.”
