The aim of UBOK is to achieve the highest possible standard of living and clothing of wide masses of people, based on modern, industrial production. It thrusts the way for new Aesthetical criteria in judging mass-produced goods. The university offers would- be fashion expetts a graduate course in which they gain knowledge of fabrics, weaving and printing and the essentials of fashion designing. They must also acquire knowledge of pro- duction methods of ready-to- wear garments. The designers of the Institute contribute to the development of consumer goods with their own designs as well as by their advisory and co-ordinating ac- tivities. The department of clothing comprises all special- ties which influence the design of clothing. It sets general lines of colors, fabrics and sil- houette twice a year. These lines determine the trend for the clothing, textile and shoe industries. It prepares collec- tions of clothes for over-sized figures, introduces new ideas in children's wear and teen-agers' apparel.

MURRAY CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) to Mrs. Mabel Pritchard it is the home of the loom, Somehow, the magic of Mrs. = | Pritchard's loom binds together two continents--borrowing from a herb farm in Rhode Island, to lend to a Suburban home in Texas and the well-clad shoul- ders of men and women of America. The story of Callay Cottage began in 1642, more than a cen- tury before Bonnie Prince Charlie's ill - fated rebellion, against the English and nearly 250 years before its present mistress was bon. It was then that the humble cottage was built in a forest clearing on a mountainside above the cathedral town of Dunkeld, Perthsire. In the way of the time, it had two rooms, one for the builder and his fam- ily, the other for livestock. Highland clansmen drove their cattle through the forest to the Lowland markets, and the cottage came to mean dif- ferent things to different people down the years. To the cattle- herder it was a place of ref- uge; to the stray traveller it was a mean but hospitable inn and, to one man, it was the setting for a murder--he killed his wife with an axe. HOUSED STILL For many years to the pry- ing eyes of the tax collectors, it was a source of annoyance. The lean-to chicken house at one end of the building was also an illicit still. Yet, perhaps, the most re- markable of its tenants is the lady who occupies it today, the 78-year-old Mrs. Pritchard, a college graduate, bank man- guardian of workmanship and quality as well as style. The polka-dot bow strikes a gay note on this classical coat and companion dress in oatmeal and ivory wool. Eskimo Family By MARILYN ARGUE OTTAWA (CP) Eskimo babies are pretty much like other Canadians except that more of them die. One Eskimo infant in 10 dies before it's a year old. That's 3% times the Canadian average. But five years ago the death rate for Eskimo infants was one in five. One reason it's been cut by half is the Eskimo family medical pack, put out by the department of national health and welfare. About 500 of the packs have been given out by northern nurses to families setting out on the traditional hunting and fish- ing expeditions. The kits con- tain medicines and bandages and: instructions in Eskimo syl- labics and English, Eskimos in the Northwest Territories and Arctic islands now are using the packs, but the idea began along the west coast of Hudson Bay, says Dr. R. A. Armstrong, senior treat- ment officer in the medical services division. | FAR FROM AID | "It's very sparsely settled }and communications are some- |times not very good. A family going out for weeks or months would be impossible to locate in an emergency, and a sick person could die before he reached medical help. The near- est settlement might be several days' journey by dog team." The death toll is especially heavy among infants. "This is true among most primitive peo- ples, but the Eskimos have a} particularly impossible climate | on top of it. It's an area where | there's an awful lot of nothing."| The climate gave the medical | pack's designers the kind of} headache they couldn't cure with their pills for "pain in the teeth, head or ears." The problem is that every- thing freezes.
