Always neat and tailored, the j blazer will give more mileage than any other item in your ward- robe and can be purchased or made with a minimum of ex- pense. Choose a fabric that can be easily cared for, perhaps poly- ester so you can toss it in the washing machine. And choose a neutral color. If you want it light and airy, choose white, off-white or beige. Those you can co-ordin- ate with almost any colors and if ` you choose the right fabric, keep- ing it clean and neat should be no 1 problem. If you want to go into a darker shade, you can't beat navy. And though there is nothing smarter than navy piped with white, you will find the white places limitations on it; you can no'longer wear it with off-white or beige. With skirts and vests, pants and tailored shirts, or over a pretty summer dress, blazers are at home. They dress up a sporty outfit and can even add a fashion- able tailored touch to an evening ensemble. With a variety of ac- cessories, the blazer can be for you as many things as you want it to be — all of them chic. Another popular piece of cloth- ing for the chilly spring days is the unlined coat. Make it light and airy, just heavy enough to be a topper, smooth and flowing without looking sloppy. For more versatility, make it water-resis- tant for those rainy afternoons.

And again, stick to the neutral colors for you know that they will complement almost any color and look smart. over pants and big tops, the flowing coat looks smashing but it can also take its place over a dressy one- piece or two-piece garment or a matching skirt and top. With any basic outfit but especially the un- lined coat, bring out the jewellery — preferably the gold chains, wide B91d bracelets and simple hoop earrings. They really dress it up and pull the look together! Another fashions r this spring will be the ,- ,i,. „ .:icn can be another basic little addition to your wardrobe. If you can sew, you've got it made in a light little reversible, probably with its own matching reversible scarf. You'll really turn heads! The cape is es- pecially adaptable to today's loose easy-going styles for it flows with everything. Longer over pants, short over a dress, it makes a nice cover-up and hides a lot of figure flaws. The idea behind all three of these basic pieces is that you can create several outfits with one purchase. So, instead of drooling over that four -piece knockout suit in your favorite shop, use your head and, with one basic gar- ment, create a knock -out ensem- ble of your own without being too hard on the pocket -book! Good fashion is just good common sense! Dessert euchre at Whitechurch WHITECHURCH — Mrs. Johnston Conn was in charge when the Women's Institute sponsored an afternoon dessert euchre party on Monday.

It is expected that further charges will be laid and they may involve Wintario dealerships. 0-0-0 Federal Health Minister Marc Lalonde says that the provinces have agreed, in some cases re- luctantly, to pay the costs involv- ed in a mas rve swine flu vac- cination program this summer. The vaccinations will be confined to those age groups most likely to be affected by an outbreak of the disease. Children are not includ- ed, since reaction to the vaccina- tions in children is said to be more severe than the disease it- self. t- self. 0-0-0 About ' 20,000 labor unionists gathered on the lawns of the On- tario Legislature, protesting the limits which have been placed on wage increases by the federal Anti-inflation Board and the pro- vincial government's agreement to respect those limitations. 0-0-0 Changes that the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency "skirted" the law are being investigated by Consumer Affairs Minister Bryce Mackasey. The minister told the House of Commons that he would "be very upset" if he found that CEMA had circumvented tradi- tional egg -importing processes in an eftrt to get monopoly control over egg imports. A number of egg importers say CEMA used its influence to delay some permit applications and to block others. 0-0-0 William A.

A protest group in Toronto dumped milk into the sewers in front of Queen's Park and last week a Harriston area farmer announced he would give away 200 gallons of milk to any who want it.

The mo- tion demands a full study of CBC programming and the possibilty that the national broadcast net- work is planning a drastic cut- back in farm programming. Jar- vis said there are three things wrong with CBC farm programs — "quantity, quality and staff". There have been rumors that the CBC will cease farm broadcasts this fall.

Mrs. Phillips also captured the prize for the year's highest single score. Mrs. Johnston Conn had the high score for the evening party. The draw was won by Mrs. William Murray. This is a very worthwhile pro- ject and the group would be pleased if a great many more would join.
