The move to Guerneville was made to "improve the quality of the program," Jay said, and the house is larger than the Forestville quarters.

Appeals are being made for a use permit and at last week's meeting of the Municipal Advisory Council "everything seemed hopeful." Neighbors were friendly and spoke warmly of the Switchboard during the session. The next step is the Board of Zoning Adjustments. There is talk that Switchboard staffers are "paid do-gooders who get rich" and who do not extend themselves beyond office hours loosely from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. weekdays.

Volunteers for Individual Potential (VIP) is looking for volunteers to work with housebound children By RON ALEXANDER New York Times Service NEW YORK After two weeks filled with fashion shows, the message for men is clear: Bigness is out, sedate is in. The one word used by the commentators at every show was "soft." Suits will be less rigid, less restrictive and far less influenced by Europe than they have been. Most of the shoulder padding has been discarded. Some designers refer to the new easy shoulder as a "shirt shoulder," though that seems a slight exaggeration.

Even Yves Saint Laurent, who, with Pierre Cardin, still leans toward padded shoulders, has yielded a bit by eliminating the raised roped-edge. Saint Laurent also acknowledged the trend toward a softer silhouette by abandoning the pinched-waist with which he has become synonymous in favor of one with much less definition. While fall clothing will still have a gentle touch of waist shaping, the silhouette, in the words of Ralph Lauren, is "less in-and-out."
