Miss Alice Roth. Mrs. Tom Lutes, Mrs. Ned Knape, Mrs. Dick Heler, Jr., had depicted both of the new states with silhouettes of Hawaii and Alaska pinned to the curtain at the Center. The models came through a large igloo onto the runway where mannequins on either side were clothed in snowsuits. At the. very end of the runway, artificial palm trees were placed with Miss Janice Titus, dressed as an Hawaiian girl, seated in the middle.

Orchids from Hawaii added to the interest of the show and the first two hundred ladies present received the rare flowers through the courtesy of the Hawaiian Visitors Bureau. Blue, Brown Popular Shades Styles have changed little since the spring and summer fashions first appeared, but men can breath easier because not a single chemise dress was shown. The shirtwaist dress is a very stylish creation again this season and the ever popular sheath was seen more than once last night. Shades of brown, beige, royal blue, and loden green, were repeated in both daytime and evening wear, with even clothes for the younger set carrying the same theme. As usual the children stole the show from their elders with the latest fashions from the Kiddie Shop being acclaimed as the best yet. Grown up styles for the little men of this nation were very smart with corresponding sweaters and trousers. Little misses appeared in triacx and white as . well as the four popular colors and : most dresses were designed with j the very full skirts that add to the feminity of young fashions. Bow trims at the neckline were popular and fur and velvet trimme<jl many of the tweed and solid patterned coats. Models for the Kiddie Shop in- ; eluded Lisa Isch, Pat Terveer, | Sandra Moore. Steven Strickler, J Jane Anspaugh. Liz Terveer, Ke- ! vin Moore, Diane Strickler, and Tony Isch. Teen Togs models, the Misses Karen Braun, Nancy Gephart. I Marceda Whetstone, Beverly Stults, Betty Haugk, Anita Zintsmaster, and Janet Winteregg, chose both sport and date clothes to display. The high pleated cum--1 berbund encircled many a crea- | tion and bold plaid skirts stood out as a fashion desire this year. The paisley print blouse with roll up sleeves has caught on all over the United States and enhances many a school outfit. Velvet and taffeta were combined for a very special date dress. Brown and beige colored many of the Jani Lyn fashions with the sbtrt waist,, appearing in almost every kind*®f fabric. The dresses were relatively plain with perhaps a few bows shattered here and there and the crushed cumberbund waist line appearing on some of the dresses. One dress featured the very new “big lantern sleeves." Pheasant feathers and felt made up most of the hats that

Miss Barbara Burk, Mrs. Joe Krick, Mrs. Don Schmitt, Mrs. Fred Isch, and Mrs. Robert Mutschler showed clothes for Gass's.

The tall slim heels are still popular but for the working girl, almost squared heels and shoes in puritan style can be purchased. Flats, always in demand by the teenage set, come in a variety of colors with camel a popular shade for the many brown and beige skirts and sweaters this year. Gold buckles also enhance the shoes. Also wanted by teenagers are the lightweight, comfortable boots that come in almost every imaginable color.

Cole announced today that on the request of local railroad officials, the Decatur city council is urging the merger of the Erie railroad and the Delaware. Lackawanna, and Western. The Erie lost another $1.5 million during the month of August as the result of the steel strike, and has lost money for several years. The two railroads run parallel to each other at many points, greatly weakening both companies. Merger of the two railroads is expected to strengthen the company greatly, and negotiations have been made so that workers now rmployed will not be adversely affected. The resolution states that since prompt, reliable and efficient rail service is necessary to the industrial and economic development of Decatur, and since the merger will i strengthen the performance and efficiency of rail service, and will be of substantial assistance to the industrial economy of this area and will definitely be in the public interest, therefore the city of Decatur approves the proposed merger and urges the ICC to render a favorable decision. Copies of the resolution are being sent to Senator Vance Hartke and to others who may be of assistance before the interstate commerce, commission.
