Look for a black screen over white, and a pronounced black and white herringbone. A new interesting twosome is pink wine with Tokay grape. A fall cos tume in this color combination can be effortlessly assembled from hat to hoes through the cooperation of sev- jral fabric, apparel and accessory nanufacturers. , Stirring are the stained glass col- jrs spirited straight from a cathedral rose window. Reds, blues, greens of undiluted strength are marked with icavy black lines. There’s a move toward introducing :wo closely related tones in the same fabric. Outstanding examples are a blue and teal mix; a golden field studded with brown and several sub tle greys. Looming large on the fall fashion pattern horizon are plaids. Some plaids are barely larger than open ings in a strainer. Others are large and dramatic. Often they face one side of reversible woolens. One Dress Can Go Everywhere The key dress in your wardrobe fits well, looks well and goes well during a morning of shopping, an af- ternon of luncheon and bridge and for dinner at the club or home of a friend. What’s more, this dress, to really friend may be right, but I think he has overlooked the fact that we have already progressed so fast tech nologically that we have been un able to keep pace spiritually. . Our worship or macnines, gadgets and amusements has created for us a very “comfortable” push-button existence. It has, at the same time, drained off our best brains into phy sical-scientific pursuits and left un- 1 developed the whole science of man. The common man is beginning to feel the pinch of this mistake. This country has given all kinds of econ-. omic aids to its workers such as bet-i ter homes, larger bank accounts,! more automobiles, and radios, health insurance, pensions, etc. Yet, I doubt if there ever was a time in history when men felt less secure and more confused. Men Most Study Man . , One of the reasons why the east ern and western worlds are at war today is because the citizens of these nations are materialistic, uncertain, and apathetic. Their respective ide ologies have not given them what they expected. In war, the immed iate goal is to win the war. We ex pect hardships; we endure them. In peace, we expect something else. Like the little child, if a nation does not get what it expects, the nation has a temper tantrum. . I predict that before we can have peace in the world, men must study man and develop a science for living. But this costs money, and we must, be as willing and eager to devote as many billions to this type of research as we are to atom bombs. 100-inch telescopes, electronics and the like. We must discover what environmerv- tal stimuli and idealized goals are uni versally acceptable and zealously fol lowed. What the U. S. and much of the rest of the world needs is NOT a better five cent cigar, but a better “five cent” religion which will be understood by everyone, which is honest, dynamic, specific, and scienti fically sound. Changing Human Nature I can hear the out and dut pessi mists and defeatists warning: “You can’t change human nature.” Admit tedly, we can’t change God’s physi cal laws, but by understanding His laws we can and we have changed the face of the earth quite remark ably. In my lifetime, for example, I through an understanding of natural laws, we have built skyscrappers, i driven engines hundreds of miles an hour, bred faster horses, fatter hogs, taken the seeds out of oranges ■ . .{ and even split the atom. Some day, i by understanding the force of grav-) ity, we shall have a vast new source of energy and power. • I believe this same principle ap plies to humans. We may not be able 1 to change man’s basic instincts, but; by understanding the laws of human j nature which govern man’s actions, we shall be able to channel human urges and drives into more construc tive patterns of behavior. Our Immediate Need As I look into the next 40 years I envision the development of a vast! new science of man. In time this science, through its discovery of uni versal laws, will enable us both to understand and predict group be havior as well as to direct it toward constructive goals. Let’s encourage our colleges to do research in this direction. Let’s encourage 'business to devote a good portion of its re sources to this worthy cause. Its findings may well be more world shaking than splitting the atom!
