There are people who live
with zest and excitement, and
whenever you see them and ask
“What’s new?’ they always
have something to tell you. Such
a one is Florence Weir,
and if I write about her freq-
uently, it’s because I'm fascina-
ted by the interesting life
Florence lives. (You too, are
welcome to join us in this
column. Tell us about your
adventures.)
Recently, Florence organized
and narrated a fashion show for
Lazarus at the Paramount
Theatre in conjunction with the
premiere of ‘‘Mame’’ this’
version starring Lucille Ball.
First off, the film was sur-
prisingly good. I don’t know how
many times I’ve seen ‘Mame’
or ‘‘Auntie Mame’’, or how
many actresses I've seen in the
starring role, but I’ve enjoyed
every one of them.
Axiomatically, one assumes
that the movie version will
almost always be awful. This
was just fine. Lucille Ball didn’t
do ‘‘Lucy”’.. and did manage to
portray a very sensitive Mame,
different from Roz Russell or
Angela Lansbury. The little boy
who played Patrick was a
“luv’’.
The fashion show illustrated
the Mame look, the Gatsby look,
the Harlow look, and it was
elegant. At last we're back to
clothes that spell glamor.
The models in the show were
Debbie Fabian, Denise Demko,
Karen Kachinskas, Pam
Fenner, Linda Whalen, Mary
Ann Hubick, Jan Morrash,
Nancy Samuels, Bella Fiascki,
Joanne Feddock, Wendy Weir,
Joanne Castellino, Eileen Bris-
lin, Jane Kluger, and Karen
Passarella. All but two are from
the Lazarus Teen Board, taught
and trained by Florence.
Florence spent a week in New
York attending all the big fall
fashion shows given by the
larger houses. While there she,
her daughter Pixie, and Pixie’s
roommates, attended several
plays and inadvertently on a
Sunday night wandered into a
political benefit performed by
the great popular composers of
our day. They were admitted as
guests to a show where the
cheapest ticket was $150!
Florence reports what she
saw and what will be shown for
fall, so if you want the inside
news right from the source,
here it is:
The fashion showrooms were
crowded with buyers and
fashion coordinators from
around the country. Each show
was positively bedlam as new
and some old styles were
shown. This year the emphasis
is on value, quality and care-
fully thought out collections.
Designers realize that in in-
flationary times, women want
more for their money. The
emphasis is also on flexibility.
High on the list of new ideas is
the big coat. It’s tenty, swingy,
capey, wrapped, fur-trimmed,
lots of flare and lots of room.
Capes are big, with or without
hoods. Coat lengths are longer,
43 to 50 inches in length. Fur
trims are led by the long-haired
furs, fox, raccoon, badger.
Fabrics include fleeces,
meltons, leathers, suedes,
tweeds and solid wools and
some are reversible with rainy
day poplins inside. It’s black
velvet that swirls in for evening.
In dresses, the look is soft and
feminine. There are more
waistlines, prints, full sleeves
with a Russian influence,
is back--an easy skirt under a
and the suit dress.
Late date dresses are elabor-
ate, very soft looking, lots of
motion in the skirt..and one
interesting feature was lettuce-
leaf edges. i
Pants are still “in”, but defin-
itely overshadowed for daytime
by the return of the
skirt in all lengths. For the less
daring, they just cover the knee.
For the more adventuresome,
there is a variety of longer
lengths with a large number
being shown to top the calf.
(There's Gatsby and Mame!)
Skirts are shown with the new
wide-leg boots or with dark
pantyhose such as rust,
burgundy, brown, navy and off-
black, and higher-heeled shoes.
It’s in the evening that pants
have their biggest impact...and
that’s the party pajamas.
In sportswear, it’s the
sweater now--the outdoor
sweater the Kabuki, the chenille
sweater, and the sweatshirt
sweater with hood. Velour
sweatshirts and velour jogging
pants are designed for active
sports.
The big accessory of the
season is the hat. The newest is
the fur beret. Then there is the
felt hat with unusual trimming,
such as art deco motifs,
marquisette, buckles and
feathers. Knit hats and scarves
to match or long mufflers will
be a must, with fringe, and
sometimes worn two at a time.
(Two hats, Florence, or two
mufflers?) The colors pre-
dominant are black, teal, brick,
mushroom, aubergine, and all
the ‘brown tones. Details are
cartridge tucking, buccaneer
collars, muff pockets and miter
stripes.
Well friends, you have the
real McCoy right from Florence
Weir, fashion coordinator of
Lazarus, and you won’t need to
read Mademoiselle or Glamour.
You got it all right here!

Concerned Over
A group of concerned resi-
dents from Upper Demunds
Road were at the public hear-
ing, scheduled before the regu-
lar Dallas Township July
meeting Monday night. They
were there to discuss the future
plans of J. Mark Robinson,
developer, and Fenwood Park.
Fenwood Park was a pro-
posed housing development
which was begun several years
ago in the Upper Demunds area
but was never completed. Mr.
Robinson proposes to divide the
62 acre plot into 107 single
family unit lots and construct
homes in the $35,000 price
range. He requested a zoning
change from A-1 to R-1 because
A-1 requires one home per acre
and his plans will require 1.72
homes per acre.
Those present were concer-
ned with the road problem,
water availability and
devaluation of their property.
After their questions were
answered by Chairman Philip
Walter and other members of
the board together with Mr.
Robinson the group left the
meeting.
Solicitor Frank Townend was
not present at the meeting
until later and after his arrival
and some discussion, the board
decided. to table the decision of
rezoning until a later date.
Development
The Township municipal
office and the police office have
been paneled by the Silkworth
Remodeling Company Lake
Silkworth and the exterior part
of the front of the building has
been sprayed with a silicone
material to prevent moisture
from coming through the wails.
Cost of this project was $2500.
The paneling is dark walnut and
will require no painting and a
minimum amount of care, the
board noted.
Patrolman James Gruver has
completed a 10 week training
school conducted by the Penn-
sylvania State Police.
The board is considering an
anti-noise ordiance which will
eliminate rock concerts in the
township. This will be discussed
throughly before action is
taken, Chairman Walter said.
Chairman Walter, Supervisor
Glenn Howell and Solicitor
Townend met with a grievance
committee from the police
department June 20. Patrolmen
Lamoreux and John Apple
represented the police. No
decisions were reached they
stated and a future meeting has
been planned.
A contract was awarded to
Bradco Supply Towanda for a
1974 four wheel drive truck for
others.
$13,994,95.

“desire and capacity to try to do
new things in new ways,” said
Harold Howe II, Foundation
vice president for education and
research. ‘Unfortunately, our
limited resources restrict the
support we can give. The insti-
tutions chosen in the Northeast
and elsewhere in the country re-
flect the venturesome vitality
that is increasingly evident on
many other campuses, a large
number of which are equally
deserving of recognition.”
Of the 177 colleges and uni-
versities screened for the
grants announced today, ,64
were visited by Foundation rep-
resentatives and their pro-
grams reviewed. Several
months ago, a Ford Foundation
representative visited the cam-
pus at College Misericordia,
meeting with staff, faculty, and
administration members to re-
view the college’s current edu-
cational programs and future
plans.
The criteria for final selection
included evidence of venture-
some activity in the past, the
quality of present educational
programs and leadership, and
the prospect that a Venture
Fund will be continued with
local support after the Founda-
tion was advised in the selection
of recipients by a panel of ex-
perts from colleges outside the
Northeast.
Kochers Hold Reunion
The Kocher family reunion
will be held Aug. 3 at Sandy
Bottom, Harveys Lake.
There will be a basket lunch
at 12:30 p.m., entertainment for
the children at 1:30 p.m. and a
business meeting at 2 p.m.
..Lawn Grass Can Be Cut Too
Short--It’s natural to want to cut
the grass as short as possible in
order to lengthen the time be-
tween cuttings. But, John C.
Harper II, Extension turf
specialist at The Pennsylvania
State University, says ‘‘skin-
ning’’ the grass can result in in-
jury to the root system, invite
weed infestation, and leave
your lawn in an unsightly condi-
tion for several days. A good
general rule is to avoid remov-
ing more than one-third of the
leaf surface during a cutting.
You can also not cut enough off
your lawn. This could result in
build-up of thatch which hinders
watering and feeding and en-
courages insects and diseases.

Bigger Turkey
Better the Buy
If you're looking for a good
turkey buy, select a large bird.
A larger bird has more meat in
proportion to the bone.
Penn State Extension foods
and nutrition specialists say a
larger bird usually costs less
per pound. In addition, you can
economize even more with
planned-overs.
Use Pesticide Strips Care-
fully--Insecticide strips, one
way of controlling small flying
insects, should not be used in
rooms occupied by infants or by
ill and aged adults, caution
Extension entomologists at The
Pennsylvania State University.
