American Missionary Lost 3 Found Babies Are Getting Into Fashion Act EDITOR'S NOTE: For three days Miss Jeam Laing, 35, an American missionary teacher, was lost in the central Malaysian jungles with three Malaysian hiking companions. They were found Friday by aborigine tribesmen. All were reported in good condition today. From her hospital bed, where she is recuperating from minor bruises and exhaustion, Miss Laing relates her ordeal. By JEAN LAING Written for Associated Press CAMERON HIGHL4NO Malaysia (AP) I had climbed the mile-high Mt Beremban five times since arriving in Malaysia two years ago.

It would generally take only about three hours to maks the trek up to the top and back to Dalat School, where I teach. On Tuesday I invited three children from a family that lives near the school to come along with me Tor another hike up the hill. We left at 9 a.m. and were to be back in time for lunch. We got to the top of the hill on schedule and then decided to explore a different way down, but we soon became puzzled, as we so many paths in front of us.

We picked one and started following it, but after walking about two miles WB realized it was not the correct one because the jungle was getting thicker and thicker and the trees taller and taller. We decided to try to return to the top of the hill, but we couldn't find the way because again there were so many paths made by previous hikers. We stumbled many times and got minor cuts. It was very dark then, although it was only 4 p.m., and we Celt cold and hungry. Young Balbir only crying, and he just wouldn't stop, although I and his older brother, Manjit, 12, and sister, Sarjit Kaur, 14, did our best to comfort him.

We decided to spend the night in the jungle, and we huddled together to keep warm. We had no warm clothes to protect us from the cold nights, when the temperature is about 50 degrees. Suddenly, about 10:30 we heard some people shouting our names. We were sure it was a search party. We heard them whistling and we heard dogs barking.

We started shouting back to them, screaming our lungs out, but we couldn't make ourselves heard. Slowly, we could hear the searchers' voices fade away. We passed the first night in the jungle, as we did the others, without sleep, partly because it was so cold and we were scared of wild animals, such as tigers. There also were a lot of mosQui- tos, I kept praying to God all the time to keep the wild animals away from us and to lead us to safety. The next day, Wednesday, we started downhill and came across a river.

The first thing I did was to make the children drink water out of the stream. They didn't want to because the water was dirty. But I forced them to drink it because I knew they needed water to survive. Since we had no food with us, the children had become very hungry, although fortunately I did not. We started following the river upstream, hoping to find houses or aborigine settlements.

But it was in vain, and so we went back to the jungle for the second night because it was too cold by the side of the river. I knew God was watching and seeing us, but I didn't know why He was taking so lo.lg to lead us out. On Thursday we decided to follow the river downstream, and we soon camti across what seemed to be tiger footmarks. The children were very frightened. Although exhausted, we kept on going and praying.

By Friday morning, I was literally crawling along the river stream, and the children were pulling me. I could hardly go another step. I knew I wouldn't have been able to survive another night. I understand the doctors are saying I held the group together mentally while the children helped me physically. All I can say is that the children certainly helped me, At about noon we came across an opening in the jungle, so I sent Manjit ahead.

As soon as he reached the clearing, he became excited and started shouting in Malay, "to- long, tolong," or "help, help." He had spotted a group of 15 aborigines on the other side of the rivev. The aborigines rushed over to us and quickly started a fire and cooked us rice and fish that they had with them. I knew God had answered our prayers. The two boys finished their meal very quickly. But girl and I could not eat so fast because we were too exhausted.

The aborigines cut some branches and jungle vines to make an improvised stretcher for me because I was too weak to walk. Right now, I'm just thankful be alive. NEW YORK (AP) Tugging at reluctant puppies and wearing skirts almost as short as those seen on their mothers, mere babes toddled down the runway to demonstrate just what the youngster generation is coming terms of fashion, anyway. Since Wednesday designers showing at the New York Couture Group's spring previews have been illustrating the high cost of maintaining big girls in the style in which they have grown to be accustomed. They become accustomed early and grow from there, from indications of the kiddy show given Friday by Joseph Love Inc.

While they don't wear mink because this is a spring minisnob set cuts a swathe in a wardrobe that matches the resort cult. There is just the thing for Palm high-waisted provincial print sun dress with matching pants. A blue sash hanging slack over white dotted Swiss over-all printed dress is just the thing for ballet. The world travelers nave several assortmerits of crisp, floral short-sleeved coats with their own little shifts as well as a variety of knits that pack well and never wrinkle. High waists, low waists, no waists, chains and brass-buckled belts, boutique-like little shifts made of clashing panels of color; navy capes with military flavor of brass buttons and epaulets; white blouses frothy with ruffled lace; tough striped suits inspired by the gangsters of the '30s; Scarlet O'Haras in tight-waisted dresses with burgeoning skirts; and flower children in sweet little floral embroidered dresses are the ABC's of young fashion today.

This could be a report on grown girls' fashions this year since mothers have been stealing little girls' styles for the past two years. It was just retribution that little girls should be back to copying them again- even though it is hard on the bill-paying man of the family. Beau Catcher Eat-In Daily News Miner DEAR HELOISE: If any of your readers have the problem of draining cut- lerly while washing- dishes, they know that a glass accumulates water in the bottom, a "store-bought" holder often topples over, and putting cutlerly in the rack is a nuisance to gather. I just discovered that an ordinary clay flower pot with the small drainage hole in the bottom works very well. It's heavy enough to stay upright, the water can flow out.

and it's attractive on my drain- board. Jo Smith Wrll. you go to head ut the class! And those flower in all slses, too. We ill) love you, Jo. Heluise DEAR HELOISE: I just discovered a marvelous sewing shortcut.

It has saved me so many mimttos this afternoon that I've time to write and tell you about it. When sewing on hard-to- mark materials (I've been working with cotton seersucker), unthread your sewing machine needle, remove the bobbin and stitch through dart lines removing the pattern from the material. The tiny needle holes leave your darts marked very clearly on both sides of the material in jig time. Myrt FOLKS: I just ot through talking to one of thp topmost authorities on wild birds. He stressed that they need suet Ui their diets.

But how to feed them this heavy, thick suet without leaving it on the ground was another problem. HP told me to nail a small hunk of suet on a tree trunk or on the limb MI the birds could perk at It. So next time you trim fat off that roast, try to remember nail a plwe of It in your treo. It sure will add to the bird's diet. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: Have you ever tried to lay linoleum and had it bulge here and there? When this happened recently to us, I came on the idea of simply putting one or holes in the center of the bulge with a regular straight pin and then pressing the air out.

It worked like a charm. No one can see the small holes and our linoleum is flat and smooth as can be. Mrs. R. Martens DEAR HELOISE: My old formal made a perfect skirt for my dressing table.

As it was already lined and gathered, I just cut off the top, opened the skirt down the back, then tacked it around the table. The tacks may be covered up with a narrow piece of ribbon, and a flower or bow from the gown added for that finishing touch. So quick and easy to do and no expense. L. M.

H. DEAR HELOISE: During cold weather my hair has a lot of static electricity. When I comb it, it just stands up everywhere and follows my comb. This is maddening when I'm in a hurry and want it to look especially nice. So I grabbed the hair spray this morning and gave my hair a once over lightly.

Like magic the electricity was gone and I could arrange it easily. Betty Heloise welcomes all mail, especially household hints which she can pass on to read- era as space permits.

Purely Personal Bill and Poldine Carlo returned to their home at 2111 Southern Aurora, Friday after a nine-week trip that took them many thousands of miles and across the Atlantic Ocean twice The couple left Fairbanks Nov. 3 for Anchorage, caught a transpolar flight from there Monday, Nov. 6, flew back over Fairbanks (visible to them from the high altitude of the jet) and on to Germany.

Accompanying the Carlos were their close friends Jerry andSal- ly Hudson. The Hudsons returned to Fairbanks three weeks ago. The Carlos were held up almost three weeks waiting for the die- se! powered car they bought in Germany to be shipped to New York. During their wait for the car (the unexpected delay was caused by some clerical slip-up, car left from Rotterdam but their instructions were to go to Amsterdam). Bill and Poldine visited with their married daughter and her family in Altus, Okla.

The Carlos and'Hudsons drove from Germany through Switzerland and down to Rome. They had hoped for a private audience with the Pope, but the Pon- tifs unexpected surgery in November cancelled that plan. "We did have a visit with Father Sullivan (Tom Sullivan, a Catholic priest friend of the Carlo's parish priest in Fairbanks); and he told me when I called him he was expecting a call from me that day and another call from Betty Button. I thought he was kidding me but he really did get a call from her that day in Rome." They stayed in Rome three days and spent a good part of that time marveling at pedestrians darting in and out of heavy traffic without being struck down. "The traffic was real bad in Rome.

The drivers over there. Oh! It's so thick. We just parked the car for the three days," she said. The tourism season was over so there wasn't any problem getting accomodations. But Poldine did find it hard to communicate a few times when they stopped in some of the out- of-the-way spots.

"This one restaurant we went to in Berlin-we couldn't speak German and the waiter couldn't speak English. We didn't know what the menu said. I kept asking him if he had meat, but he couldn't understand me. Finally i pointed to the kitchen and he led me out there and took me to the refrigerator and showed me a pork loin. I shook my head Pretty soon he came out with fried pork chops for us." Germany she liked, Poldine said, but the Russian occupied zone where they were forced to spend one night left her uneasy.

"We were leaving Berlin and the fog was very thick. Finally Bill (who did all the driving) got so tired from peering into the fog we had to stop." The first place was full of East German officers so they left that hotel for an international hotel since their presence was not solicited or encouraged. They emerged from the Russian zone unscathed and continued on to London. Bili and Poldine both were born and grew up along the Yukon River in interior Alaska.
