Home Economics Outlook
Hemlines give forecast
and GLncjacfements.
By SANDY ASHWORTH
County Extension Agent
Yon can watch hemlines
and sometimes actually
predict the nation’s
economy.
Reachers say much of our
behavior depends on the
economic climate of the
times-and hemlines are part
of that behavior.
As economic upswings oc-
cur, women raised thqir
dress lengths. •
As hard times approach,
they are lowered.
One theory predicts that
economies in the western
flow in long-term cycles of
45-60 years. *
In this type of cycle, there
are about 30 years of
economic climbup--and
about 15-20 years of hard
times.
Behavior and economics
work like this:
Economic Upswing
During economic upsw-
ings, several things happen.
That’s the time for social
revolutions-a period in
which younger generations
rebel against established
traditions and norms.
People, in general, adopt
attitudes which show a strik-
ing contrast to those held a
few years earlier.
On a more personal level,
people tend to liberate

ners to be served from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Women’s Club will

Country Store with hand-
made crochet, pillows, dolls,
stuffed animals and other
items; homemade jellies,
canned items and
homemade cakes and pies,

will be featured.
MORE HOPE
FOR THE SICK
Each month some new drug or medical
technique b announced to improve our present
treatment of the sick. Some day even the present
incurable diseases will be conquered.
Right now old age is becoming farther away each
year. We have medicines which not only can cure
most ailments, but can make an Incurable” disease
themselves from conven-
tional behavior.
For example, divorce
rates increase, publications
of sex magazines increase,
and scandals are more likely
to be uncovered.
This is a period of time
which people can and do en-
joy the pleasure of life.
This also tends to be a pro-
ductive period for the arts
and the social sciences,
because there is time,
money and energy which can
be devoted to these areas.
In addition, people who
have stable economic
resources can more easily
take risks.
They feel more confident
about their own powers, and
they believe they have con-
trol over their own destiny.
During economic upsw-
ings, people also believe that
life can be made better, and
injustices, therefore, are
less tolerated.
As a result of all this, the
political climate changes,
too, to one of individualistic
capitalism.
Economic Hard Times
When the economy
becomes unstable, the na-
tion's personality also
changes.
People become disen-
chanted with capitalism, and
sway toward scoialistic
policies.
On the whole, there is
much less tolerance of
unusual social behavior.
Young people regain
respect for the older genera-
tions, the traditional at-
titudes and behaviors.
Marriages and family life
take on a "new meaning,”
and they become stronger
units of society.
*
Mobility of people slows
down, and families spend
more time together at home.
...And Hemlines
And here’s where the
hemlines change.
Women tend to lower their
skirts fand pursue the
Lakeside
women’s movement
"underground") during
hard times.
So, Watch
Now that we better unders-
tand the tie in, we can take
up "hemline watching” just
to help sort out the reason
why people are behaving as
they are.
Fun-and-action sport-
swear has a new fashion
status directed toward high-
energy lifestyles.
Once lowly, the sweatshirt
is out of the gym and into a
great fashion look with long
pants or shorts, and there's
the versatile strapless tube.
Sweatshirt-type tops,
shorts, pants and jackets are
showing up in colors that are
bright, spliced and striped-
sometimes with quilted
detailing.
One new sportsfashion
look is the double-V neck-
front and back.
Another newsn taker is the
"baggy jean’’-fitting in the
waist and looser at the hips,
narrowing to the ankles.
As for all the brights,
splices and stripes, here’s
how they shape up:
Basic T-shirts come
"updated” this season in
new bright and pretty
pastels.
Stripes in today's sport-
swear range from narrow to
wide, and there are exciting
color splices-in terries, for
example.
Also, nylon zip wind-
breakers are appearing in
bi- and tri-colorations.
Watch for prints in upcom-
ing sportsfashions, too.
Jumpsuits are a big
fashion revivai-espccially
popular in cool, comfortable
terries, which lend
themselves to short sets, too.
In footwear, the indispen-
sable running shoe reflects
today’s color cxcitment.
And for accessories, the
hold-evcrything nylon duffle
bag is lightweight, water
repellent and just right for
modern mobility.
