NOUN By Lissa Taylor LONDON—Fall fashion from European couturiers offers some- thing far everyone. It doesn't matter whether you are seeing collections in London, Paris or Rome, there are skirt lengths, fabrics and colors to meet every woman's fashion taste. Fall collections in these three centres indicated there are no longer any hard, fast rules in fashion and since no one country dominates the fash- ion scene any longer, this means we are moving into the era of the "individual look". What a woman wears this fall in the way of skirt lengths, silhouettes or accessories is en- tirely up to her own fashion sense and, hopefully, her good taste, It was amusing to note the incongruity of skirt lengths in relation to geographical loca- tion and weather. In southern Italy sweltering models were showing the longer skirts and in London, which is considerably farther north, the girls were wearing mini mini skirts and shivering. Paris couturiers offered women everything from the Dior look of the thirties with doll-painted faces, fizzy hair and tight, satin dresses to the swashbuckling elegance of the Ricci collection with its great capes and romantic hats. The Ricci collection will probably have the most far- reaching influence on Canad- ian fashion in coming seasons because this look is so right for our climate, for our way of life. Courreges is still a vital figure on the Paris scene. His clothes have a strong message sent out to the beat-of space- age music. His look is neat, ness and accident insurance for its employees. Mrs. Procter, who was en- gaged when clerk-treasurer Rtn- wick was ill, has agreed to work part-time in the town of- fice. Mayor Miller congratulated the centennial committee for its efforts in organizing the week-end parade and activi- ties. Several councillors con- curred and commented on the week-end's success. fresh, and childish .„ the lit , tie school girl look with short, Short gloves and white shoes and sacks, Valentino and others in Rome offered magnificently cut and tailored fashions which will be copied right away by the millions in America and sell at the higher price levels, The one thing all this diver- sification should de is. to en- courage the so-called intern.a , 09114 fashion leaders to dress more in a manner befitting their ages and their legs, Short skirts are great on youngsters (Pr on not-so-youngsters in the country) with the proper leg coverings„ Leg coverings are very important this season. But, I say it firmly, and peat it, „,.short, above,tIWI knee skirts have no place on adult women for day-time wear in the city, mittee has a small surplus in its budget and recommended that a new mower be purchased, Street cleaning on Josephine Street, was discussed again by council Councillor Cruick- shank stating that "we've talk- ed about it for so long -- lets get some action for a change". Mayor Miller agreed and said the street should be swept at least twice a week. Building permits were ap- proved for one house and sev- eral smaller jobs to the total of $13,900. As the result of a suggestion at the August meeting for coun- cil to consider increasing the fee for building permits, coun- cil decided to raise the mini- mum from $1.00 to $5.00 for construction up to a value of $6, 000 and $1.00 per $1,000 after that. Council learned that there will be a Planning Board meet- ing on September 18th to hear Norman Pearson who has been engaged to establish an official plan for Wingham.
