Furs Are Londonls Biggest Fashion News

(By Dorothy Barley)

LONDON tspecial)-Maybe youj think fur: are Just things to bundle up in-to snuggle down into on a windy day?

London's recent fashion week didn't point up a radical New book. , I-Ill for a lower neckline or a short- vr hemline but it did make big fashion news in one sense.

At least several models in the collections of each of the Big Five designers-Hardy Aniies. Norman I-Iartnell. John Cavanagli. Worth and Michael-were dedicated to the. propostion that when it comes to decoration, furs go as well as ae- quins with cotton. chiffon and tai- feta.

And to shun that by furs they didn't necessarily mean neat tidy little furs like mink or ermine. to illustrate their point the Big Five made use of big, bushy luxurious Canadian silver fox. Ingenious were the uses they put it to and very nice it looked.

Viewers of Balenciaga's new spring designs described his mo- tifs in terms that ranged from: "Right out of 'Gone With the Wind'!" to "Looks I920-ish." The? models are such a mixture of: styles and periods they defy de- lcription in any one term.

PROTECTING THE WORKER i

From time to time we read about certain workers (men and women) who suffer from ihe effects nf chemicals with which they work. In some cases tlt:'i' i;iy .iv..s -...c at stake but fortunately this is not the case with the majority of work- ers- However, there are some cases in which the very aurmundings. not chemicals. affect the workers' health and physicians and gov- ernment research workers are try- ing to keep the worker in as good physical condition no possible.

In the United States Armed Forc- es Medical Journal. Dr. John H. Foulger states. "that whatever method is used to obtain inform- ation on the condition of workers exposed to chemicals, it. ahould lead to frequent observation of each worker by the plant physician who will be alble to see when the workers are failing in health. By frequent contact with the men, and particu- larly contact. on the job. he will gain their confidence. This will have two results. Not only will the morale of the individual worker be raised but he will tend to come in the physician md tell him of fac- tors in both his industrial life and in his home life which may be of the utmost importance in controll- ing the health in the plant."

There was a time, not an for back, when infections were the commonest. cause of illness in the industrial plant. but treatment of infection has advanced so far in -recent. years that diseases caused by atrcs of living are ng greater importance than diseases caused by bacteria or poisoning.

These diseases. called stress dis- eases, are due to our attempt to live with our environment or cut- roundlngs, often with an environ-
