"JQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, December 28, 1966 ' Follow Instructions For Success With New Automatic Washer Lea Home Economists at "ee Consumer lnsciste, Division ef a major Canadian appliance =@ianufacterer have leted some interesting br Pe into, of all things, the "weekly wash. They wanted to "find out how much Mrs. Aver- ¥ Housewife knows, not only 'ebout her automatic home laun- lary equipment, but about the agents and additives she may 'or may not be using. QUNDERSTAND CONTROLS * It has been found that many 'women don't take the tine to understand and appreciate fully 'the control panels on wakhers 'and dryers. Curiously, new "brides are not as guilty as the Imore established homemaker. "Just-right" washing and dry- 'ing can be achieved by using 'the controls in the manner pre-) "scribed by the manufacturer. 'Bach control and setting has) 'been tested thoroughly and each 'serves a useful and valuable purpose. Delving into the area of fabric 'softeners it is reported that a) 'number of homemakers seem 'to be unaware of their effective- méss not only on wearing ap- parel, but on towels, sheets and 'many other washables. Here's what the Home Economists say} 'following many tests with soaps, | softeners and similar agents:) fabrics generally are softer and) fuller with more fluffiness -- they're easier to iron -- wash'n| | cually dried with regular wear items causes "clinging, "riding up" and similar dis-| -s+ments should be drip dried.

Concentrated bleach should never come into direct contact with clothes and this is where there is an ad- vantage in having an automatic bleach dispenser. Bleaches are not new (great grandmother used them in one form or another), but fabric softeners having appea a y women don't read the fine print and as a result the bleach is either poured into the rinse water or measured into it at the wrong time and in needless quantities. Fabric softeners on the other hand must only be added during the rinse and then in small measures so that they are circulated throughout the water. SORT CAREFULLY Times have changed and now washables must be sorted into many more groups. Wash'n wear items, whites and colors, whites that must not be bleached, synthetics that should be washed in smaller loads and for shorter cycles, and articles that require different water temperatures. Most wash'n wear garments require a medium heat and are cottons.

Among Other Revivals of 1867 Sampler Is Again In Vogue By JEAN SHARP CP Women's Editor TORONTO (CP) -- It used to be that when a girl made @ sampler, she was simply compiling a dictionary of stitches. Beginning as a little girl just starting needlework ,she did samples on a piece of material of each kind of stitch as she learned it. | Only later did the sampler + take on designs and lettering, says Eleanor Flint, supervisor .of crafts for the home eco- nomics branch of the Ontario 'agriculture department. Miss Flint's office has had "an increasing number of re- ; Quests for instructions on how *to make samplers and other "euch old crafts as rug- and «quilt-making. She attributes 'the interest to Centennial > Year. + She reports an appalling 'lack of source material on - euch skills. She has taught a "three - day course in the 'making of samplers and com- «piled a notebook that is some- {times loaned to interested «groups. * Miss Flint earnestly recom- ;mends simplicity in planning «a design for a sampler. {MUST HAVE THEME «. "You must have a theme, jthen build your , @round that theme, and don't «try to do too much. Eliminate 'anything that-isn't actually «elevant. Some people want to * put everything into one piece 'of material. "Keep your color scheme 'simple and use variations on «Only a few colors. * "Remember, the back- {ground is as much a part of «the sampler as what you put Son it. This isn't like needle- «point where you fill in the "background as well as the : Pattern." + Design your pattern roughly 'first, then carefully in detail. ~You can use quad paper, "ruled in quarter-inch squares, | 'that will correspond to the weave in your material Miss Flint says various ma- terials can be used. Any even iweave material is suitable, «and a basket weave type of «wide strands is best. : . "You may use any émbroi- dery cotton. We usually use a "three-strand. Remember any «piece of needlecraft should be "as neat on the back as on the front. The threads in a cross «stitch should go in the same "direction on the back.' .SPIT ON THREAD * When you change colors. gently work the unknotted new thread through stitches al- "ready made on the back "You never make a knot, I always told my ladies, 'Spit on the end of your thread.' The «dampness would help it hold Suntil you had a few stitches -done."" * When you start a sampler, _ Miss Flint recommends work- ing from the centre of the 'bottom out. Then you are «working from the known to tthe unknown. That is, when you count squares that should Sampler | be left untouched between bits of pattern, you are only count- ing two or three squares, from one patterned area to another, not 20 squares from an edge, in. Miss Flint notes that in any needlecraft magazine that sells kits, the kits are usually advertised as having authen- tie faded colors. "Garish colors don't go on 2 sampler. You can soften colors by mixing threads. A lighter green or yellow will soften a bright, dark green. "As for the actual we ¢:man- ship, anyone who can read should be able to do it. Don't be discouraged. You can take threads out. I think the cri- terion of a good embrolderer is not what she puts in, it's what she takes out because she's not satisfied. "When they're done, I al- ways advocate that samplers go under glass. Even though they are supposed to be sun- fast, keep them out of bright glare. Remember, it's a deli- cate piece of work." | Vinyl Is Ruatlah | With Young Set By ELEANOR ROSS Though stylists insist that the vinyl fad is passed, or at least about to expire, we doubt it. Judging from the many vinyl jgift items reported by stores jduring the last few weeks, jthere'll be plenty of the shiny |Stuff around, especially that worn by the young crowd. | No doubt about it, teen-agers just dote on vinyl, Opaque or transparent, for coats, slickers, dresses, bags, shoes, hats. To. |day's teen-ager takes it as a compliment when told she is "all wet." This means that her vinyl garments are up to date, Snappy, snazzy. And vinyl does have, advantages, even if the youngSers aren't aware of it. Easy upkeep is the plus fac- tor, and it does add up to a 00d appearance and good grooming. Since vinyl can be sudsed off with little effort and time, even busy students can be cajoled into keeping their styl- ish garments in good, shining condition. If a large item, such as a coat, is spread out flat, Sponging or wiping with soap or detergents suds, followed by a clear rinse, is easy. The new plastic fashions, es- pecially for rainwear, are a far cry from the flimsy rain covers and coats which actually started the trend some years ago, The current garments are sturdily made, colorful, and excellently- styled. Matching hats and bonnets, jrain boots, gloves, totebags, jhandbags, jackets--that com- bine orlon sleeves and back | with a vest-shaped plastic front j|--and all types of sportswear, for boys and girls will make for a vivid, shining landscape through the winter' season.
