They are crocheted in wash- ing-up cotton -- a soft, thick string used by that vanishing breed of frugal British women who knit their own dishrags. Despite their humble fabric, they can be seen in some of London's most expensive bou- tiques at prices ranging up to £50 ($150). Hand-crocheted in an open- work stitch, they are designed to be worn over a matching slip. But many whistle - slim girls are daring to wear these lacy dresses over no more than a one-piece body-stocking. One London model startled race meeting by turning up in a crocheted see-through tunic with matching leggings. "The dresses are the latest idea from Paris," said the manager of a boutique which has supplied crocheted cottons for the leading actresses of two British films now in production. In spite of the high cost of these fashions in London, it is possible to produce a do-it-your- self version almost for nothing. British girls with mothers who can wield a crochet hook are in luck, for a crocheted cotton suit can cost only 10 shillings ($1.50), the price of the yarn. FOR ALL SEASONS Washing-up cotton is the ideal crocheting yarn, said one such mother. Because of its bulk, it can be quickly worked into dresses. It's cool enough for summer, heavy enough for win- ter. ; As for laundering, if the lin- ing is separate, the dresses don't even need dry-cleaning. Simply wash and block--just like a dishrag. quibble with the lacy parasol?

To shorten, simply un- ravel the hem. To lengthen, cro- chet a few extra rows. One bou- tique said it could change a street-length dress into a ball- gown, given a half-day's notice and a few extra balls of cotton. What about the Canadian girl who can't find the dress, the money, or a mother to crochet it for her? She can do it her- self, following a simple crochet instruction from any pattern book. If she can't find "wash- ing-up cotton" in a Canadian store, almost any soft, heavy cotton string will do. The novice should begin with something simple--a crocheted top perhaps--before trying a dress.

Hospitals throughout the North African country have been drafted as counselling centres and mobile units are to be sent into the country- side, accompanied by a propa- ganda campaign that can be expected to reach into almost every mud.- walled village home and ornate city villa. A young Toronto doctor who has been in on a two-year pre- liminary program said in an interview that a sociological survey "showed an over- whelming number of women in Tunisia are receptive to the idea of family planning and many want to stop. having children right now." Dr. George Brown, 30, scholarly and bespectacled graduate of the University of Toronto, is in Tunisia for the New York-based Population Council, whose work on be- half of the government here is being supported by the Ford Foundation. "The survey found that the women considered the ideal family size to be four, but the actual size is six on average," Brown said. "It also found that knowledge of contra- ceptive methods was very limited." LIMIT BABY BONUSES Surprisingly enough, how- ever, the survey showed that there would be far less resist- ance to a mass program than might have been expected. The Bourguiba government, which has been a pace-setter in social legislation since Tu- nisia gained independence in 1956, has long been heading toward a program of popula- tion control, even though the country has only 4,600,000 peo- provise her own stitches and Styles. With skirts tending to become shorter and lacework more open, these dresses will prob- ably become less and less ex- pensive for the girl who is handy with a crochet hook. In fact, the most recent cro- cheted fashions shown in the British magazine Queen used little more washing-up cotton than an ordinary dish-rag. ple in an area slightly larger than Canada's three Mari- time provinces. It had previously passed legislation to fix the minimum marriage age for girls at 17 and limited its child-allowance payments to the first four children in a family. In 1959, the sale of contra- ceptive devices became law- ful in Tunisia and last year abortion was legalized for the first time in a Moslem coun- try. The abortion bill, as origi- nally drafted, would have al- lowed any woman with four children to seek an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy--even without her husband's permission. But in a rare defiant bow toward docil OF Sag 3 five children, not four. CLEARED BY LEADERS Moslem religious-autharities in Tunisia have already ruled that contraceptives are not contrary to Islamic law. Al- though Tunisians are not known in the Arab world for any particular piety, Islam still has a strong social in- fluence and the Moslem lead- ership's clearance was re- garded as important. At present, in fat year or lean, one mature woman in three can be counted on to give birth every year. That means 205,000 new citizens annually to be housed, educated, subsidized and eventually employed. The pop- ulation increase, says Public Heaiii Minister Fethi Zouhira, threatens to undo the coun- try's tightly budgeted eco- nomic planning. Dr. Brown describes Tu- nisia's program as one of the most ambitious in the world. He came here with his wife and child in 1964 to work with other foreign ard Tunisian doctors, establishing more than 30 consultation centres in a pilot program. About 25,000 women were treated with various forms of contraceptive methods and the results led the government to adopt the intra-uterine device as the safest and most effec- tive-in a mass program. "It has been estimated that there are 650,000 women of child-bearing age in Tunisia," Brown said. "It's hoped to reach a third of them in the next two years."

I interviewed F. Gor- 9 Boyce, president of the 'largest international education institution of its kind in the Since 1932, this institution has been preparing young adults to live in a world of international tensions and mutual dependence by conducting programs that expand understanding of other nations and cultures and pre- pare participants in the pro- gram for constructive careers of service at home and abroad. "The young people from 16 to 30 who become outbound exper- imenters live with a family overseas. Incoming experiment- ers live in an American home," Boyce told me, as he prepared to answer my first question. LASTING IMPACT "And this kind of experience has an impact on alert young people that makes them think of careers in international fields." he said.
