Bullfighter "I want to do it again!" exclamed pretty Terri Fowler after her first experience swirling the yellow and magenta cape and facing sluggish 100-pound heifer in a Tijuana, Mexico bullring. The 25-year old San Diego State College coed was one of 200 novice bullfighters, mostof them Americans, at the seventh annual convention last weekend of the National Association of Taurine Clubs. Why is interest in bullfighting outlawed in the United States apparently growing in this country? Everyone does it for a different reason, fans say. "Most started out as fans and went the one small step further. The bullfight is one of the most difficult things to do properly and there's a personal satisfaction in doing well."

28211. By PAT TREXLER You can, of course, use DEAR PAT: How about giving us a pattern for neck scarves, made with knitting worsted. What I need is a basic pattern from which I could make many scarves everyone in my family seems to need one. Thanks loads if you can see your way clear to tell your millions how to knit a neck scarf. VIRGINIA Washington, D.C.

DEAR VIRGINIA: First, I will give you some very basic directions and then a few tips on designing your own original scarves. Or, you might want to order my Leaflet No. Au-10, for a fancy zigzag stitch scarf. If so, send 35 cents and a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope to the address given above. Width and length of scarves is purely a matter of personal preference.

These directions are for a scarf 9 inches wide and 48 inches long. It requires, knitting approximately worsted. 14 Select the needle size which will give you a gauge of five stitches per inch probably size 7, 8 or 9. Cast on 45 stitches and work in pattern stitch for 48 inches or desired length. Bind off and finish bound-off and cast-on edges with fringe.

If long edges have a tendency to curl, finish these with a crocheted border. Club doings Sen. Beebe to be speaker at public meeting here State Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe of Dearborn will be in Battle Creek Tuesday to address a public dinner meeting at Buckingham Inn.

Her visit is sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Calhoun County Fraternal Order of Police, and fulfills an engagement she had to cancel here on June 10. Sen. Beebe will discuss "Timely Topics," of interest to men and women and will touch on matters before the state legislature. Included will be remarks on sex education in the public schools, which had been announced as Parent and child Act to save child's education By ARNOLD ARNOLD It is a disillusioning commentary on our times that heavy infusions of federal funds into our educational systems started with the launching of Russia's Sputnik and threaten to end or be curtailed with our landing on the moon. But the first round to save our school and public libraries, education progress, student loans and vocational counseling has been won.

The house of representatives has voted to increase, rather than reduce, federal funds allocated to education. But the senate must still vote on this budget. So in addition to saying "Thank you" to your Congressman, you should urgently write or wire your senator, demanding similar action. Even at the former rate of federal support, there are still 36,000 public elementary schools that lack all library facilities. And most schools could use more and better learning and teaching facilities, materials and teachers than they can afford at present.

The proposed education budget reductions would mean that school and public libraries would be forced to cut drastically staffs, new book purchases and restoration of worn volumes. Such curtailment would make it virtually impossible to borrow or use books. Yet school and public libraries are an essential component of the school curriculum from earliest grades on up. Reduction of federal support would represent only half of the funds these facilities would lose. Federal contributions are, in most cases, matched by state and local funds.

The long term effect of such cut-backs could bring about a choking off of new authorship. Information would be denied to all but a small, educated elite. U.S. cultural, scientific and technological achievement, scholarship and research would be impaired far into the future. Such damage would be nearly irreparable, since today's students are tomorrow's teachers and practitioners in the many professions and skills on which we depend.

The information and knowledge now at our command would not be available to increase our collective wisdom. For want of a legislative nail, the future may be lost. Teachers will once again be forced to rely on teaching by rote instead of teaching children to think, to discover, research and study on their own. The kids will be reduced, as they were before books became widely available, to copying Hair Style of the Month "Petal Pouf" The Chic shortcut to Summertime Beauty.

MICHIGAN MICHIGAN BANKARO THE INTERBANK AVE. welcome bere FREE PARKING IN REAR simple stockinette stitch, but I think a scarf looks best if both sides look the same or if both sides have an equally attractive appearance. Garter stitch (where every row is knitted) and seed stitch are two choices for the gal who likes simple pattern stitches.

For seed stitch on 45 stitches, knit the first stitch of every row and then alternate knit and purl stitches all across the row. Work every row in the same manner. With just these two simple stitches, you can create some interesting effects just by making stripes of varying widths, using any color combinations you like. (This is a good way to use leftover yarns, too.) A knit one, purl one ribbing makes a handsome scarf, too. Because the ribbing stitch compresses in width, you will need to add a few extra stitches.

If I were using this stitch, I would cast on 54 stitches. This will take a little more yarn, too. If you want to use a pattern stitch other than the ones mentioned, or if you want to use a different weight yarn, all you need to do is make a sample swatch with yarn and needles on hand in the desired stitch. Then, measure it to see how many stitches per inch you are getting. Multiply the number of stitches per inch by the desired width this tells you how many stitches to cast on.

A classic, straight skirt is topped by a long jacket with soft, full sleeves. Size range is 10 to 16. This can be your Lesson Number One in learning to be a designer!
