The words used to describe today's fashions - classic, cardigan, herringbone, tweed -- are familiar. However, as in any fashion period, changes have been made to fit the current times. Proportions are different, explains Pat Sullivan, University of Illinois McHenry county Extension adviser. Colors are different. Clothing costs have increased, so a basic look is more logical than a fashion revolution. The em­ phasis in fashion is on the subtle instead of the obvious; line instead of no line; and the simple rather than the clut­ tered look. Today's clothing reflects our attitudes and needs in apparel, Ms. Sullivan adds. There are many choices and a great deal of versatility. There is no hard and fast rule as to how, where and with what you wear something. "With the fashion trends as guidelines, you put together the parts to create a total look that is right for you and works for you," she explains. "And, you may want to put it together one way one day and another way the next day." The variety in hem lengths makes it possible for you to select the length or lengths that are right for you (body and leg proportions) and the total look you want to achieve. As a general rule, the straighter the skirt, the longer the skirt (at least mid-knee) and the higher the heel. The more fullness in the skirt, the shorter the skirt and the flatter the heel. If you like the longer length (below knee to mid-calf), and it looks right on you, wear it and enjoy it. If it doesn't, forget it and wear the lengths that are best for you. Garments selected for evening wear may be short of full length; a tailored flannel suit with glitter chains or a dazzling sequin pajama; a short strapless tube or a long body dress of clinging crepe or bias cut fabrics. "The clingy sweater dresses and the body dress tend to reveal rather than conceal your body shape and outline," Ms. Sullivan cautions. "They are for the just-right figure since their shape is whatever the body shape is underneath." The trend towards muted colors and similar textures gives a subtly matched look- not a "piecy-look," Ms. Sullivan concludes. Colors, sizes and materials of ac­ cessories blend with the gar­ ment's design and fabric. Leaner lines in garments call for lighter weight, slimmer heeled shoes; stockings that are sheer and blend in tone; and slimmer purses for day or evening use. Casual or country wear of pants or skirts provides the opportunity for use of slightly heavier accessories and the with Betty Lou Smith in charge. The October refreshment committee will be headed by Lydia Fenner and will be held Monday, Oct. 15, at the post home.

ILL Consumer Protection Bill Becomes New Law r.Ai.t, a - fi.Aii\utALtK_- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.1973 ENTER NURSE SCHOOL St. Anthony Hospital School of Nursing, Rockford, welcomed the sixty-fourth freshman class last week. Among the fifty-nine students who will receive their first year of nursing education are Patricia Christmann and Barbara Goddin of McHenry. Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott has announced that his key consumer protection bill -- the "Little Federal Trade Commission act" - has been signed into law, giving Illinois "the most ef­ fective, far-reaching legal arsenal in the nation for safeguarding consumer rights." The "Little F.T.C. Bill" -- formerly known as the Con­ sumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices act - become law Oct. 1. Scott said the new law significantly expands the power of the Attorney General to take effective action to halt all deceptive and unfair business or trade practices in the state, and allows the state to utilize the findings and rulings of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Scott said the law also allows individuals for the first time "Citizens Suits" under w^ich they can sue for damages and restitution using the deceptive practices act. In terms of penalties, said Scott, the new law provides for fines of up to $50,000 and allows the Attorney General to seek court injunctions against unlawful business or trade practices, and obtain financial restitution in the form or refunds for persons injured as a result. The Attorney General also may seek revocation and- or suspension of "any license, charter, franchise, certificate" or other permi^to do business in Illinois. Scott said the law will be particularly effective in any illegal practices involving such ploys as "bait and switch" advertising, fictitious pricing, deceptive guarantees, misrepresentations as to ex­ pected earnings and profits, and mislabeling. Also, the sale of reconditioned or used products as new, false claims as to quality or performance, use of referral selling or lottery in the sale of merchandise, or deceptive claims relative to safety or health benefits of a product. The "Little F.T.C. Law" also gives the Attorney General important new powers in the area of real estate, said Scott. Now, for the first time, the Attorney General will be able to take prompt action against the sale of real estate by un­ scrupulous promoters within the state of Illinois. And, said Scott, under the law the Attorney General will be able to prohibit the sale of franchises to Illinois citizens by means of deceptive or unfair methods. Scott said the new law also gives far-reaching protection to the small businessman. It supplements the Attorney General's powers under the Illinois Antitrust act by prohibiting "unfair methods of competition," which can in­ clude below cost and discriminatory pricing which favor a large concern and in­ jure its small competitors. Richard F. Dunbrook, right, Milprint Inc. Chicago district manager, receives an engraved barometer-thermometer in recognition of his district's outstanding sales performance in the Captains' contest from William D. McCoy, company executive vice-president-marketing. _____ - McHenry Man Tops Company District Sales Richard F. Dunbrook, Milprint Inc. district manager, piloted his Chicago district to records in sales during a recent company-wide sales contest. Dunbrook won the Captains' contest for district sales managers during June bv posting higher sales and a greater per cent increase over his quota than any other manager in Milprint's eight districts. He directs sales of the company's flexible packaging materials in the Chicago district. A native of Springfield, Ohio, Dunbrook has a B A. from Miami university, Oxford, Ohio. He and his family live at 3110 River Stream drive, McHenry. The buildings at Thule Air Base, Greenland, are built on stilts. Reason - if they were built right on the ice, the heat from the floor would cause melting, thus allowing the building to settle. GRAMS CLUB The McHenry Grams club will meet for 11:30 luncheon Wednesday, Oct. 3, at the A&W Drive-in, Rt. 120, east of the city. A business meeting will be followed by a social hour held at the city hall club room. POET'S CORNER LOVE (Senior Style) I couldn't sleep a wink last night, tossed and dreamt with all my might. Counted sheep to a hundred and two, but really, I was thinking of you. Why did you start that quarrel, my love, all them cuss words, even a shove? You know I am a peaceful guy, could not even tell a lie. I'm sorry that I spilled the beans, 'bout what we did, when we was 'teens. Now you can pout and censor me, as I dream of my youth in memory. I know that you will shed some tears, for the love, we've had, for all these years. Forgive this old fool and his garrulous tongue, let me kiss your lips like we were young.
