Tips For The Homemaker Molds that cause mildew, grow on anything from which they can get enough food. And they flourish wherev^ it is damp, warm, poorly aired and poorly lighted, says Pat Frank, McHenry county Extension home economist. Molds develop most often on cotton, linen, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood, and paper. Many man-made fibers are resistant to mildew. Since mildew can weaken and rot fabrics, you should try to prevent it by keeping closets, dresser drawers, basements, and any other place where mildew is likely to grow, as clean as possible. Soil on articles can supply sufficient food for mildew to start growing when moisture and temperature are right, says Pat. Clean clothing is less likely to mildew than soiled clothing. Even though most man-made fibers are resistant to mildew, soil on such fabrics may supply food to start mildew. Therefore regardless of the kind of fiber in soiled fabrics, thorough cleaning helps prevent mildewing. In addition to keeping things clean, it's important to get rid of dampness. If you don't control the causes of dampness, mold spores settle on articles and have ideal conditions for growth, reminds Pat. You can dry the air by using air conditioners and dehumidifiers, or you might use heat or chemicals that absorb moisture. Adequate ventilation will also remove excess moisture. When the air outside is drier than that inside, ventilation allows the dry air to enter, take up excess moisture OFFICIAL BALLOT CHOOSE ONE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE The whole point of competition in the American system is the right to shop around, to make a choice . . . and to switch if he wants to. That "right of choice" applies to choosing a bank as well as choosing a prod­ uct ... or choosing an elected official. In Russia, there is one bank. No shopping around for a better interest rate, or a better loan deal... or a more friendly, concerned banker. In Canada, there are 15 banks. They have 6,500 branches, but there are really only 15 choices. In the United States, on the other hand, there are about 14,000 banks, most of them locally owned and operated independent community banks. They give you a wide choice, a chance to shop around. We're part of a system which gives you a choice, which brings you the personal dimension in banking. And we're proud of it. Come on in and see why.
