The designer touch r 1 PAGE 17 - PLALNUFCALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 6. 1984 Ski wear turns to fashion influence By Florence De Santis NEW YORK (NEA) - Ski wear designers have stopped turning every ski novice into a clone of some downhill racer. In the annu al touring TV show, "What's New in Skiwear," coordina tor Barbara Alley has picked fashion-influenced styles such as Nils Skiwear's one-piece suit in fuchsia with violet collar and V- front inset. It's practical, but the 3M Thinsulate insulation is used for a slim silhouette as well as warmth, and the pre- curved legs give both fash ion fit and easier movement. At Sport-Obermeyer, Ms. Alley chose for the show a cloud gray, sleek stretch suit, with a matching sweat er accented by side insets of iris blue and turquoise. A down parka and down-filled leg warmeriMlt either color cdmplete the fashion coordi nates look. For the touring TV show, her super high-fashion choice was Roffe's channel- quilted batwing parka in yellow, with sleek matching overall jumpsuit. That wide- top, slim-bottom line is cer tainly fashion's current silhouette, not a ski racer's look. Designers say the fash ion influence is caused part ly by skiers' desire to use their garb as general sportswear, too. The trend to figure fitting below a wide top has stimu lated interest in new insula tors. To down and Thinsu- - iate, Du Pont's Quallofil has been added, seen at Serac in a jacket with pink body and black sleeves, the matching sleek pants also Quallofil- insulated. Outer fabrics, of course, remain sturdy, light weight, windproof and water-resistant. The fashion touch is seen in such colors as pinks, pur ples and vivid blues, sparked by white,, Sport- Obermeyer's winter white parka is actually ruffled and fits smoothly over sleek white overall stretch pants. Under it, their turtleneck sweater is worn in iris blue, orchid or turquoise. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

And she didn't want students sitting in desks fixed to the floor. Let them move about, grow and learn. ' •' Her "organic school" that nur tures the creative impulses of children in this Alabama coastal towfT opened in 1907 with six pupils, a year before the town was incorporated. Tuition was free and folk dancing was re quired learning. "It's a mystery to me why her ideas have not been more ac cepted across the United States," said Richard Home, a Mobile lawyer deeply involved in the school. He's a graduate whose mother vtaught there. His daughter, 8-year-old Alyssa.ns a student, and he holds various school offices -- totally organic, as they say here. Phil Dyson, another organic grad, estimated if you went down the Fairh6pe phone book "one out of ten people" would have some knowledge of the school "Mrs Johnson was a dynamic person, almost a hypnotist," he said. "If she had been in politics she would have been president " Mrs Johnson, who is dead, called her methods of education "organic" because they followed the natural growth of the pupil She started a similar school at Greenwich, Conn., and inspired others in some parts of the country Folk dancing is still required, according to principal Robert Renz, a former Army in telligence officer, but tuition is no longer free -- it's J675-J1.000 a year. The years have brought dif ferent crises to the school, but something keeps the school go ing. "Faith," says one. "Iner tia," says another. Perhaps it's the parents who volunteer to help out, or the students who keep coming, or the community as a whole, proud of its individuality and ample share of artists Fairh^pe, a settlement on Mobile Bay, drew from Iowa its first settlers, who adhered to the economic principles of Henry George, the great 19th-century economist He believed that on ly the land should be taxed.

We still don't have a for mal reading program at that level." He says the school offers a well rounded" education of academics, folk dancing, wood and metal shop, and the arts Renz believes the children at the school still mirror the com munity, drawing students fr6hi the neighboring towns We don't have a bus, so the parents have to bring them to school," he said Basically, our graduates are academically sound, and have more self-confidence and poise That's ruy-personal opinion," the principal said That was Mrs Johnson's belief, too Uns^fconscious- ness," she wrote, is necessary to the health of the spirit " True or not, legends of old West survive 72 Real Estate For Sale NOW OFFERED FOR LEASE 6 Country Boutique Shoppes *£ ** Inviting Entrepreneurs in ANTIQUES, ARTS, CRAFTS, NOSTALGIA & ICE CREAM PARLOUR \ to further enhance Museums-Yesteryear Village, CoOntry Store & Other Home Furnishings Showrooms^ IN OLD VOLO VILLAGE A unique place in time. 16 acres of country Americana.

"The Old West is no longer a Slace -- it's an image," says ohn Stewart, co-founder of the National Association and Center for Outlaw and Lawman History / "People like to cling to an im age. Even though the Old West legends are often untrue, they can continue to enjoy that illu sion," said Stewart, a Utah State University history professor. The frontier legends populariz ed in dime novels portray a bat-ti Automobiles For Sale tie between good and evil, Western-style, that is still being recycled today, he said "Butch Cassidy and Jesse James and others like them became popular folk heroes not just because of the excitement of robberies, but because people vicariously, through them, could get vengeance on the railroads and the banks and other institu tions that took advantage of the little guy," Stewart said "Perhaps some of that has transferred to modern living," he said. "There's a lot of em pathy for the little guy where society has become hard and cold." Today, instead of gunslingers in black hats being dropped at high noon by white-Stetsoned heroes with faster trigger fingers, modern "Star Wars" heroes shoot it out with lasers -- not on a dusty street in a Western town and not riding the faithful horsey but on fields of stars in trusty spaceships. "It's really the basic good guys versus the bad guys theme, com bining the basic appeal of the Old West with the gimmicks of science fiction," Stewart said. Keeping alive frontier legends is one of the goals of Stewart's 9-year-old association, even though its own research often peels away layers of fiction sur rounding frontier heroes to reveal a gallery of rogues \ NO SNOW SHOVELING CAPE COD Next summer you can* en|oy this lovely yard that comes with this 3 bedroom, recentlyv/edecorated Cape Cod with appliances included.
