SY PAUU PAMNES What’s all the commotion about skintone colors in today’s bras, girdles and lingerie? At the recent showings, everyone was talking about these new “nude” shades, tinted to blend closely as possible into your own skin tone. How come? The answer stems from the fact that fashion designers are skimping clothes everywhere this year and skintone is the perfect underfashion shade to wear ’neath cut out dresses, one shoulder gowns, all those open* works in knits, laces—just about everyt du ” transparent bras actually started the whole skintone trend in underfashions. One of the prettiest that came to our attention is made by Lovable, in the sheerest wisp of nylon that gives you that new’ transparent look of almost no bra at all. Called “Bare Minimum,” it has just enough control to wear under all your fashions this fall. As an alternate there is another version of the same „ bra made of soft padded fiberfill for the girl who requires extra fullness or may be too shy to “bare.” Are you one of those gals who goes for wearing match-mates? Well, fear not! I’m happy to report that Lovable’s popular Anchors-A-Waist girdle is a perfect color mate in the skintone shade of the “nude” bras described above. I checked styles by other producers and found the same, so you are very much in luck if you are looking for skintone match-mates in bras and girdles... and it is the better to see through *neath all those openworks in fashion this fall.

HEHLTH ULCERATIVE colitis is a progressive, inflammatory disease of the colon, a part of the large intestine. The cause is not definitely known but it is believed to be due to either infection or to an emotional disorder. From physical findings it is almost undistinguishable from chronic bacillary dysentery, for which it is often mistaken. The disease is reported -to be more severe in young children and in the older age group, and in many cases there is evidence of personality disturbance. Since there is no truly specific type of successful treatment for this disease, medical therapy aims to aid by correcting nutritional problems, controlling diarrhea, discouraging bacterial invasion and ministering to the psychological needs of the patient. Surgery is at present necessary for about 20 percent of patients and unless some newer medical or psychiatric therapy is evolved, this percentage is likely to be maintained. Few disorders call for more patience, perseverance and practice in the art of medicine than ulcerative colitis resulting from unknown causes.

Selected To Build New Pierceton Post Office

The contract for the construction of the proposed new! post office building at Pierceton has been awarded to Dr. and Mrs. Joe Bill Mishler of Pierceton, according to postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien today.

Dr. Mishler is Kosciusko county coroner. The new past office will be built on two lots, located on the north- ‘ east corner of Walnut and First streets, on the east side of road 13 south of the business block. The announcement of the award to the successful bidder advances the new building closer to the .construction stage. When fully operational, the Postmaster General said, the additional space and more modem equipment will,, in the long run, more than offset the extra i cost involved inproducing more efficient handling of the mail, in accordance with President Johnsons directive to provide the best pos’sible postal service at the least 1 possible cost. i "This project is in accordance * with our policy of building new, ! post offices only w’here they are urgently needed,” Mr. O’Brien I said. “We are constantly re-assess-ing our construction program to determine whether present buildings can be altered or . remodeled to take care of our expanding mail volume. : "We now have about 45,000 postal locations throughout the country handling an anticipated volume of 172.2 billion pieces of mail for the 1964-1965 fiscal year. By 1970 it lis expected to rise to 90 billion. I “Our employees are doing a great job of processing the mail. But it is clear that if we are to I me. t the demands of our growing population we must make use erf the best mechanized equipment available in areas where it is, economically justified. "We are also constantly seeking to develop new ideas and newpostal techniques, such as ZIP Code, to help process the mail more efficiently and economically ” The new building in Pierceton will be located on the east side !of First street, opposite the intersection of Walnut and First streets. It will be leased to .the department for 10 years with renewal ; options running through 20 years iat an annual rental of $4,975.00 i i for the basic term. j This represents the lowest re-. | sponsive bid of 10 bids received 1 iby the department on a competitive J basis, and reflects what departmental studies have determined to ! be a reasonable and economical rental for leased space in this area. i The new post office will have an interior space of 2,546 square feet, I with 8,256 square feet for parking ' and movement of postal vehicles. ’ rt is expected to be completed by ! September 1, 1966. Mr. O’Brien explained that the department’s capital investment is | : limited substantially to postal equipment. The building will re- ! main under private ownership, with the owner paying local real estate j taxes. J CAPITOL k COMMENTS bY Senator Vance gH®"" HARTKE | TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - Since last week’s column datelined from Hong Kong, we have traveled far. Perhaps later I can tell you something of our week-long mission in New Delhi, which was our next stop except for a brief landing in Bangkok, Thailand. Or of Pakistan where, after driving - by car from Peshawar, we spent | four days in the capital of Rawalpindi while President Ayub Khan was ! visiting President Johnson in Wash-I !ington. Or of Kabul, Afghanistan, which w’e reached by car after driving through the spectacular mountain scenery of the famous Khyber Pass, i Now we have just made the long J flight from Kabul to Tel Aviv, with a brief stop in the ancient Persian 'city of Tehran. 1 . Probably most people think of > Israel as the traditional "Holy Land.” It is true that there are holy, places here; among them are Nazareth with . its Church of the Holy Family, which ; is built on the site of the boyhood home of Jesus; the western shore of Lake Tiberias, the biblical Sea of Galilee; the nearby Mount of Trans-, figuration, now topped by a monastery; and Capernaum, now in ruins" with its black basalt pillars marking the remains of a synagogue said to have been built by Matthew j in atonement for his life as a tax collector. But Bethlehem, where a church has stood on the site of Jesus’ birth ever since 325 A.D., is in Jordan rather, than Israel. In Jordan, too, is the ancient part of Jerusalem, where Moslem mosques stand on the site of the Temple and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre marks with its altar the place where the cross once stood. I Still, Israel forms a goodly part of' what the Old Testament knew as j the “Promised Land." With millions of trees now giving green leaves to a once barren land. Israel presents a striking contrast to its bleak underdeveloped neighbor countries. { From the reopened Solomon’s Mines copper flows from the lower Negev to Japanese and other refineries, while in the north the Yarmuk River furnishes irrigation to oranges destined for U.S. supermarkets. Here, where the prickly pear of the cactus is the symbol of the “sabra” — the native-born Israeli — the Christmas

By JERI SEELY Well, Christmas is over and we did have a happy one and a white one. Decorations all over town were quite beautiful this year. After I wrote my last column I noticed the beautiful scenes on the windows at the Milford Electric shop. Susanne Dewart and Darlene Emmons are the artists. And speaking of artists, Trudy’s soi, Paul, did a good job on the winjdow at the beauty shop. Congratulations should be extended to the Harry Beers. Wade Mishlers and Richard Widups on their excellent Christinas decorations. I As announced last week, they are winners in this year’s decorating contest. I must say the nativity scene purchased by the town is in keeping with the true spirit of Christmas. It’s nice, however, I did like the live scene of the past few years. * « « Want to test your menvory on the history of Indiana? I’ve got a list of questions from the state sesquiceriteninal commission that I plan to run in 1966 as Indiana celebrates her 150th anniversary. Want to try these? Who in Hoosier history wrote the "Gentleman from Indiana!” “Alice Adams.” “The Magniiicent Ambersons—the Penrod books.” He was a distinguished figure in American literature, a great interpreter of Hoosier life and a warm, sympathetic man. Who in Hoosier history, on a stWtny 4th of July of 1894, startled Kokomo citizens by ripping down the streets of town driving six miles an hour in a trial run of America’s first clutch-driven automobile with electric ignition. He w as also a gifted metallurgist and created “stainless steel.” Are you up on your history ? The answers are at the bottom on this column. ’■*•■•'■.
