In Calais, the French port on the English Channel, most of the famed French lace is produced. And the people here have lace in their blood and in their hearts as well as in their The lace made for the naughty black lingerie, Bardot style- pet ticoats, fashionable -cocktail dresses, romantic- wedding gowns and luxurious ball gowns accounts for a turnover of some 20 million dollars per year, half of which is in foreign currency through export. In 1958 the United States alone imported Calais lace for four-and-a-half million dollars.

FOR 25,600 Calais people lace means bread and butter. This year lace is a la mode in Paris. More than 80 members ef the new French Spring Haute Couture styles have been made of lace. For six of the most beautiful Paris designed wedding gowns for Spring brides Calais has furnished the lace material. Pierre Cardin has even introduced woolen lace neck ties for men.

The lace makers of Calais are optimistic. The 1960 fashions promise to keep their looms and their workmen busy. The special school in Calais where boys are taught the art and craft ef producing lace is full of young students growing up in the brae ing sea-air of the city. IN THE SCHOOL, which was founded and is still directed by a priest, youngsters from the age of 14 on are taught for three years the complex mechanism of the Leavers lace looms, the highly technical work of drawing new lace patterns and the process of cleaning, dyeing and treating lace. At the end of their studies they can expect to earn $35 to $40 per week and increase their salaries up to a weekly $80 in later years.

Most of the boys come from lace-making families, the love for the delicate craft being handed down from generation to generation.

IT'S AMAZING what some people attempt to bring in from abroad.

Two travelers from Europe were found to be bringing in oranges, pears, grape cuttings, tangerines, lemons, ears of corn, ham, sausage, fava beans, fig. citrus and plants in soil. Even if its mama prize sau sage, give up the idea of trying to smuggle it in. It's better to get the recipe and make it yourself, say the custom men. There are restrictions on salami, bologna and bacon.

You may bring in dressed poultry, however, pro viding the heads and feet have been removed. When it comes to bringing in live birds, the U. S. Public Health Service takes over.

"An antique in the trade and for custom purposes are two dif ferent things," -explains Anthony Simenetti, chief assistant appraiser of merchandise at U.
