Fashion Forecast For Spring
Spring opens with a new femi
nine fashion Image: Soft, pretty,
beguiling. The understated "little
nothing" dress is gone. In its
place is the “something dress,”
the dress that makes a state
ment.
Clothes are more elaborate—in
basic construction, in detail, in
shape. And the shape is no longer
based on the straight lines of the
rectangle. It moves, it flows, it
sways. It clings to the body
through bias inserts. It is unmis
takably feminine.
These fashion trends for spring,
1962, have been summarized by
Women's Wear Daily fashion edi
tors after reviewing manufactur
ers’ spring collections.
Some components of the new
shape: Little jackets that float,
ripple, flutter, some shaped like
a capelet with the sleeves worked
in, some true capes, some panels
that form capes in tjie back alone.
In the same feeling are backs
that blouse or backs that are
draped.
Ruffles are a strong softening
ingredient, setting up a storm at
the hemline (balancing the ex
plosion at the shoulders), climb
ing up a skirt from hem to waist
line or even shoulders. Others
trail around in horizontal tiers or
extend vertically bordering-a
jacket or a bodice. And along
with the ruffles are godets, low
flares, deep flounces.

Pleats are strong. Some hang
crisp and straight, breaking open
only in motion. Others are dia
phanous, set up their whirl at the
hint of a breeze or a gesture.
The majority of . skirts flare
gently, sometimes echoing the
flare at the top. Many feature
fulness under the control of a
wide, soft front panel, many have
the fulness set low, reinforced by
the ruffles and frills. Skirts are
often worked on the bias so the
figure is not concealed by a tent
of fabric, but the fabric clings,
no matter what its width.
Costuming takes many forms,
planned to constitute a related
whole or to stand on any of its
parts, each part with a specific
purpose. There are full-length
coats that not only complement
a dress but can serve as a dress
itself. There are overblouses,
tunics, the new little fly-aways
that provide a dress with its own
wrappings,- frequently a change of
pace.
Fabrics have never been so
thin, so drenched with color, so
supple. Crepe stars, made for the
softness of the hour and lending
itself to the gentle flow of fabric,
not only in black but in pale
colors as well. It is. balanced by
night with chiffon, in innumer
able prints that mingle pale wa
tercolor pastels or deep tones in
patterns - of the utmost delicacy
or boldest strength.
Also featured are the lacy, open
wools, often in colors of equal
lightness . . . the knits appearing
even for evening.

Social Security
Changes Listed
Many older people in this area
who are still employed do not
understand that recent changes in
the social security law now make
it possible fqr a considerable
number of them to collect some
benefits in addition to their earn
ings.
Unfortunately, a number of
older people continue to think
that they cannot collect any social
security benefits at all if their
earnings are over $1,200 for the
year. This is not true.
To show how recent amend
ments to the social security law
have increased the amount an
older worker can earn and still
collect some benefits, the follow
ing example is given:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who are
both Over 65, could upon applica
tion become entitled to a com
bined benefit of $150 monthly,
based on Mr. Smith’s average
earnings under social security of
around $3,200 to $3,300 a year.
Up until this year, this couple
could not be paid any of their
benefits if Mr. Smith’s annual
earnings amounted to over $2,
080.
With the recent change in the
law, Mr. Smith could have earn
ings of $2,500 in' 1961 and the
couple would have at least $750
in benefits coming to them for
the year. If his earnings were $3,
000, the couple would get at least
$250 of their social, security bene
fits; even if he earned as much as

What's new for ’62 ? First the i
flowers. Chrysanthemums -Flame
burst, an early decorative*, type
with red flowers. Knockout - a
dwarfish, symmetrical cushion
type with double rose pink flow
ers.
Zinnias—Redman and Old Mex- |
ico. Redman is an exceptionally I
large-flowered type with scarlet j
flowers. Old Mexico is a compact
type with mahogany and gold
flowers.
A new variety of Dianthus,
Bravo, is a compact dwarf an
nual with scarlet red single flow
ers.
Three new gladiolus varieties
come from the All-American se- *
lections Ben Hur, Thunderbird and
Horizon. Ben Hur is a soft rose
pink, Horizon a rosy lavender and
Thunderbird, a deep persimmon
color.
Two new peach varieties are of
interest, Polar and Nuevo. Polar
was developed in Minnesota where
it is reported to withstand very
low temperatures without injury.
Someone may wish to try this
variety in some of our high moun
tain country. Neuvo is of con
siderable interest because of its
low chilling requirements (cold
hours, below 40 degrees F. re
quired during the winter months
to break the rest period). This
characteristic is not of two much
importance to us in North Caro
lina but necessary in Florida and
similar climates.
Three new everbearing straw
berry varieties are Ozark Beauty, j
Honey Lump and Geneva. Ozard
Beauty topped all everbearers in
1961 at Iowa State, yielding 12,
665 quarts per acre. Honey Lump
originated in Minnesota and is
reported to be very hardy and ■
exceptionally sweet. Geneva is an
introduction of the N. Y. Fruit
Testing Association. We only rec
ommend everbearing sorts for the
mountains.
Two new single (May or June)
crop types are Dabreak and For
tune. Dabreak is an exceptionally
early and high-yielding variety
developed by Louisiana State Uni
versity. Fortune is reported to be
large, fine-flavored and early
another New York Fruit Testing
Association variety.
