ReaiSter-MQfl, Galesburq, III. Tuesday, Feb. 1963 By ALINE MOSSY" PARIS (UPI) Paris designers have launched wider, higher shoulders and sleeves, but today's question is will women wear them? The parade of spring fashions ended Monday with Yves St. Laurent, 26, the youngest and most off-beat of the designers, and Cristobal Balenclaga, 68, considered one of the best, both displaying a wider shoulder. During spring fashion week, shoulders and-or sleeves ranged from the puffed sleeve of Marc Bohah at Christian Dior to the padded shoulder and bell-shaped sleeve of Jacques Heim.

Store buyers from various countries were reported to have bought dresses with the new shoulders. But whether they will be modified back home or reproduced as is for department stores could not be determined. Last winter Several designers dropped skirt lengths. But worn-; en apparently still want to show their legs, so skirt hems were raised again this spring. In addition to expanded shoulders, the other main trend in the spring collections was the suit that did not look like a suit.

Balenciaga, Pierre. Balmain and Jacques Griffe made elegant suits as of yore with collars, jackets to the hip and gentle fitting. But Guy LaRoche and J. F. Carhay at the House of Nina Ricci offered suit jackets as casual as men's shirts and peasant blouses.

Jean Desses eliminated collars and lapels and had suit jackets buttoning Onto blouses, with a wide expanse of blouse between the buttons. Bohan used "wide; open" low-cut suit necklines that showed a "dicky" or crisp blouse front. Some buyers predict the suit suits will show up in budget stores within three months, particularly in the United States where many women like a casual, sportly look. fed Wikon Speaker mm Wits. S.

Bryngelson. Pointing out that a hobby is much more worthwhile if one makes a study of it and learns something about it, Mrs. Wilson gave a short resume of the history of cameos. Cameos were originally made from gem stones such as rubies or emeralds, the speaker explained and were so expensive that oAmopctlA only royalty could afford them In the time of the reign of andef the Great, art was ered of great Importance and the value of cameos was recognized. By the first century A.D.

cameo making had reached great perfection, it being conceded that the Greeks did the finest work. Because of the costliness of using gem stones, shells, which are naturally layered in light and dark shades and are much less expensive to Use, were found to be art ideal medium in which to work, Symbols carved in the cameos gave clues to early civilization. Later Italy became the center of cameo making and at the time of the Renaissance there were- many great cameo artists, as well as painters. Mrs. Wilson exhibited many cameos in her collection, which contains both shell and stone cameos, pointing out the particular feature of interest in each.

She identified the shell cameos from those of stone by the difference in coloring and from the fact that the shell cameos are usually concave on the back. She also noted that shell cameos are ordinarily lighter hi weight.

'IJou (theaters FINE FAMILY LIVING WITH MORE THAN 250 PIECES OF Early American Furniture DROP BY SOON! VICKROY FURNITURE 120 last Archer Monmouth By JOY MILLER NEW YORK (AP) "When in doubt, cheat!" That may never replace "Think" as a motto suitable for wall hanging, but a lot of parents and educators fear it's becoming an increasingly popular dictum for survival at exam time.

As adult heads shake over youngsters' cribbing because it's immoral, at least one psychologist deplores it for a different reason. Cheating is bad for their little psyches, holds Sophie Ritholz, author of "Children's Behavior." Reduces Confidence Miss Ritholz, who studied with Sigmund Freud in Vienna and London, says: "Cheating reduces an individual's self confidence. It induces a feeling of umvorthiness. If we don't meet our own standards we have reduced our stature in our own eyes. "The child who feels he's pulled a fast one and is full of bravado about his cheating inwardly is ashamed.

As for the state of his mental health, he's worse off than the kid who can admit he's a dope in a certain subject but doesn't resort to cheating." Sometimes a youngster can hide his feelings of shame and inferiority even from himself, says Miss Ritholz, and when he does that he's in a pretty sorry state emotionally. Act of Desperation But Miss Ritholz, who has a soft spot in her heart for children, hates to believe that very many little ones go into class prepared to cheat. She of them don't really want to. It's an act of desperation. They find they don't know how to answer the questions and if someone throws them a lifeline they grab it." Preferring to extend a helping hand rather than point a finger.

Miss Ritholz has come up with some suggestions for curing cheating: 1. More patience in teaching. "If the world can be a 'blooming, buzzing confusion' to the newborn babe, it can be more than that to the child who is confronted with a new type of arithmetic, for example. The child who is simply not adept at arithmetic, or who is a little slower, may find himself in despair and cheat out of sheer desperation." 2. More imagination in teaching.

"For example, changing an abstraction, such as fractions, into something concrete, such as apples or potatoes, can help a child understand the subject." 3. More empathy for the handicapped. "The child hard of hearing or with poor vision is in a way worse off than the totally disabled, for whom special schools and class are maintained. If the teacher would only stand where the child with poor vision can see best, or spend a few extra minutes with the child who can't hear everything!" 4. A happy mediu iniu standards.

"Some teachers are too until examination time comes around. Suddenly the students find themselves confronted by a stern pedagogue and an exacting type of exam." 5. A more realistic view of cheating. "The honor system should be discarded. Only the honorable students observe it.

This is not to say that most are dishonest, but with the fierce competition for good grades the cheaters cheat not only themselves but the honorable ones as well. When the curve system is used in which grades are compared relatively with each other cheating student may receive a higher grade than he deserves and possibly push the honorable student's grade down on the curve, even perhaps to failing level." 6. More breathing space for children. "He should be allowed to develop his potentialities with a certain amount of privacy from his parents. Children seem subject to an inordinate amount of prodding and probing and manipulation by adults these days." 7.

Better examples set by adults. "The very parent who would be horrified at his child's cheating might laughingly relate how he used a slug for a parking meter or thought up some clever income tax evasion. What effect does this have on the listening child, who, according to my studies, is more greatly influenced by his parents than even by his teacher?" 8. Less panic about entering college. "There's terrific competition now for high grades to gain admittance to the 'best' colleges.

But the early years of adolescence are difficult ones; grades often slump in the second year of high school, then rise again. Some potentially brilliant teenagers may be lacking in motivation during some of that. time. Parental pressure is not going to help the situation. Besides, there are still many good small colleges with empty seats.
