N. C. Symphony
Memberships
Still Open
^’ftestra To Play Here May
15; School Children Will Be
Given Free Concert
Wi'h the announcement of the
.May 15th date of the North Caro
lina Symphony in Wilmington, it
is expected that many mustc lovers
who have not yet become members
of the N. C. Symphony Society will
want to do so. The General mem
bership of $1 will admit to one
local concert, and the active mem
bership of $5 will admit to any
concert within the state during the
season.
Colonel Kermit Hunter, business
manager of the Symphony, inform
ed the local committee that mem
berships would be accepted up to
May 1st, with a ticket sale at $2,
being offered the week of the con
cert, if any seats are available.
The local committee requests that
the money, with name and address
carefully given, be mailed directly
in to the N. C. Symphony head
quarters, Box 1111, Chapel HilL
Membership cards will be mailed
from the state office.
The most valuable part of the
North Carolina Symphony orches
tra's service is the free concert
which is given to school children
whereever the orchestra plays.
This will take place in Wilmington
May 15, in the afternoon, time and
arrangements to be announced. All
seats for the evening concert open
UiruUfiil w*w**w»
sale. This applies to children as
well as adults.
As of March 1, the local campaign
for the Symphony expansion fund
netted $1,660, with a total member
ship of 300. It is expected that
every seat will be filled for the
concert May 15, and music lovers
are urged to take advantage of
the extension of time for member
ships through the mail, rather than
wait for a last minute rush for
tickets at $2.

| Femininity Stressed In Balmain
Collection of New Paris Fashions
By ROSSETTE HARGROVE
PARIS, March 6. (NEA) — Th«
second week of the Paris showings
opened with the Balmain collection,
which is the object of mac:, specu
lation. This creator is considered a
topnotcher among the younger
stylist and is patronized by the
younger set and such style-con
scious dressers as the Duchess of
Windsor. Balmain definitely endors
es longer hems. Informal dresses
have calf-length skirts. Formal
dresses 'or such daytime occassions
as races, e-hibitions, and' recep
tions are ankle-length hobbleskirts.
The general trend of this col
lection stresses intense femininity
in the details as well as the rounded
shoulder and hip lines and the nip
ped-in waistline. Suit jackets are
usually wrist-length, easy fitting
through the top, but smooth over
the hips. These are mainly light
wools with blouses providing the
vivid color note or high-necked Shet
land wool sweaters picking up the
color of the suit tweed or check.
Afternoon ensembles offer a
choice of dresses topped by every
type of coat from gored reefers to
boleros and coolie jackets of va
rious lengths usually topping mod
ernized chemise dresst '. The
spring note is stressed with wide
use of candy-striped silks facing
draped panels and belts of black
and navy as well as pastels. Crisp
white touches are also featured.
ROMANTTC GOWNS
Ankle-length formal dresses,
distinctly reminiscent of 1910 fash
ions, are complemented by wide
brimmed oigrette- trimmed hats
and snakey twin fox stoles. Typi
cal of this mode is a chestunt
brown sheath topped with a cut
away jacket revealing a white gilet
and worn with white foxes, white
hat and shoes.
Evening dresses include roman
tic gowns with flowing skirts and
strapless bodices. Others are remi
niscent of Jane Austen characters.
A new note here is the use of plain
and spangled net over gleaming
light-colored satins. Petticoat frills
peeping below the hem as in a
cherry - and - white - striped' satin
ankle-length dress are earmarked
for deb wear. Balmain reintroduces
satin for formal siren gowns. One
strapless pearl gray gown is en
tirely covered with fine white gui
pure lace and is shown with a ro
mantic flowing white satin cape.
Colors used include lilac, reseda,
marrow, cedar, green, yellow, off
white, gray, pastel blue, and pink
for street wear as well as navy and
black.
Balmain’s collection details in
clude calf-length plus-fours for
beach wear under a gathered' apron
skirt tying in back. The short-sleev
ed top is of striped paisley cotton.
Another plus-four outfit is topped
with a romantic, red-lined cape
of light gray jersey. A Gibson Girl
lilac gabardine raincoat with a
matching umbrella dangling from
th-' belt is worn over a pleated!
black skirt and a mauve-and-white
striped blouse.
Bruyere, launching a new tech
nique, cuts the fabric on the
straight instead of the bias, which
nevertheless takes inches off the
silhouette. The waistline is defi
nitely higher, meanwhile preserv
ing the rounded hipline. Also fea
tured *re youthful box-pleated’
“pinafore-shirtwaist” dresses in
linen and prints for sports as well
as in wools and silks for all day
time occasions. Subtle, embroider*
ed matelasse motifs trim bodices
of daytime dresses, resulting in a
high-busted effect. Skirts here
cover the knees, and sleeves are
all lengths but always restrained.
NEW EVENING LINE
The new evening line is distinct
ly directoire-inspired both in the
choice of fabrics and' colors. Hats
completing formal daytime en
sembles are inspired by old pro
vincial coiffures. Bruyere stresses
all pastels including lilac, wisteria,
wheat yellow, bud pink, benedic
tine, peppermint green.
Collection details include frilled
or draped aprons in vivid striped
or checked silks over simple black
or navy crepes, intended for the
maidless hostess.
Jacques Heim places his collec
tion under the sign of dignity plus
simplicity, made possible by better
quality fabrics and expressed in
longer lines with the waist dipping
in back. Boleros share equal honors
with fitted and coolie jackets in
daytime and evening dresses. Even
ings gowns are divided between
the siren sheath and the romantic
gown, with the latter destined for
the young woman. Many tunics and
tiered skirts are shown. Black con
trasting with white, rose and greige
is a favorite combination, while
greens in a wide range dominate.
Prints range from splashy orchids
to tight all-over motifs on both
light and dark grounds.

Teachers Grossly Underpaid ""
By RUTH MILLETT
All but 179 of tne more than 800
teachers in the public schools of
Paterson, N. J„ suddenly became
too "ill” to report for work one
day recently—in protest against
the city’s withholding from them
a cost-of-living bonus.
Parents who had deposited
Johnny in front of his schoolhouse
at the regular time that morning
had to go back and get him a little
later.
A teachers’ strike — extending
over even a week—is one that
ought to get results. For after a
few days of having the kids under
foot mothers would say to fathers,
"Those teachers are worth what
ever they say they are.”
It would probably take a strike
in most communities to make par
ents realzie just what teachers are
paid—and what they are worth,
just for keeping children out of
mischief and out of the way for
six or seven hours a day. School
teachers are completely taken for
granted by most parents.
They wouldn’t be if the parents
—fathers as well as mothers—vis
ited their kids’ classrooms occa
sionally. I spent a day recently
watching a first-grade teacher
handle a roomful of children at
the pushing, shoving, wriggling
age. And the way she handled
them seemed like a modern mir
acle.
