...retains farm training and home economics (Mobley's lobby saw to that), but it introduces a new flexibility. Under the terms of the bill, states and municipalities could count as "vocational agriculture" such related industries as food processing, and include in "home economics" such jobworthy skills as commercial garment making. At least 25% of the money provided for in the bill would go to "area vocational education schools"-well-equipped centers offering modern skills to anyone, teen-ager or adult, who is not attending a regular high school.

He wears a remarkable garment fitted out with pockets for everything: tools, utensils, pots, food packets, soy sauce and a jar of Ajinomoto brand monosodium glutamate.

Buyers from all over the U.S. are making their seasonal march into garment-district showrooms to rummage through, inspect and buy fall fashions. In a $13 billion industry that survives and thrives on change, the biggest change of all is in the corporate shape of the industry itself. Women's wear, a business of some 4,700 firms in which the mean has always been two or three partners with a $25,000 bankroll, is busy styling a whole new rackful...
