Fur Fabrics In* For '70 When you shop for winter fabrics, take time to consider the wide variety of new deep- pile materials on the market. Some duplicate fur designs while others are frankly fake, making no attempt to look like a particular fur. Esther Siemen, University of Illinois Extension clothing specialist, offers some sugges­ tions for sewing fur fabrics. To help reduce bulk, choose a simple pattern with a minimum of seams and darts. Examine the pattern for ways to eliminate seams. For ex­ ample, the facings for front closures and sleeves can often be cut in one piece. Or you might eliminate a center back seam by cutting the entire back in one piece. Be sure the pattern fits prop­ erly because ripping and re- stitching may show on the fab­ ric. If you are in doubt, make a test muslin. Do not stay-stitch, under- stitch or top-stitch deep-pile fabrics as the presser foot will mat the surface. If basting is necessary, do it by hand with silk thread to pre­ vent marking the fabric. Use a size 14 machine n le with heavy-duty or polyester or nylon core thread. You may find it necessary to loosen top and bottom tensions and pres­ sure, depending on the depth of pile. Use a long stitch, 8 to 10 per inch. Stitch slowly in the direction of the pile. Force the pile back between the fabrics with a long needle as you seW. Use a needle or fine comb to gently pull out pile that may be wedged in the seam. Eliminate bulk by shear­ ing the pile from the seam allowance. And clip curved seams. Shaggy piles can easily be caught in zipper teeth. So be­ fore inserting a zipper, check to see what might happen. Pin a folded edge of your fabric next to the track and then open and close the zipper. If long fibers continually hinder smooth closure, consider other closings. If you can use a zipper, Miss Siemen recommends using the centered method of application. Attach the zipper by hand with short back-stitches and shear the pile from seam allowances. CARE TIPS FOR DEEP-PILE FABRICS Garments made of deep-pile fabrics usually require spec­ ial care. Esther Siemen, University of Illinois Extension clothing specialist, points out that al­ though pressing is an import­ ant step in garment making, many of the deep-pile fabrics, especially modacrylics such as Dynel and Verel should not be pressed. It's therefore import­ ant to read the labels and fol­ low care instructions. Before pressing a deep-pile fabric, carefully test-press a scrap of the material. Press fabrics on the wrong side over a needleboard. Or place a tur- kish towel or piece of the fab­ ric on the ironing board and press the garment on the wrong side. In other words, the two pile sides face each other. Set your iron on the lowest steam setting and don't put the foil weight of the iron on the fabric. If tlie pile mats or flattens when the test fabric is press­ ed, don't attempt to press the garment. Use finger pressing to open seams and darts. With some fabrics you may find it necessary to catch the dart and seam allowances to the back­ ing with hand stitches to hold the material flat. Some deep-pile fabrics are washable and some are not. Be sure to check the bolt label for care instructions before buying i your fabric. Some fur-like fab- * rics cannot be washed or dry- cleaned by conventional meth­ ods but require furrier clean­ ing methods to retain their "real" fur appearance. If you send a deep-pile garment to a drycleaner, inform him of the fiber content. j ' • -» -v *, /v- & owing The stork also brings a new bed jacket for Mommy, a new mortgage for Daddy, and some­ times a new room for big sis­ ter. &vent* EQUIPMENT- BURNS -- It's "business as ususal" this week in spite of a fire in a truck owned by Don Bentz of 3515 W. Fairview, McHenry, last "Saturday morning. The vehicle, parked off Main street, in the business section, had been left there by the owner, a pump inside a large box on the rear of the truck in ope ration- to warm two drums of tar. When Bentz opened the top of the box, a combustion-type explosion occurred, starting the box afire. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson estimated about $300 loss to equip­ ment. Company I, McHenry Township Fire Protection district, answered the call. PLAINDEALER PHOTO V.F.W. Auxiliary News SILVER WEDDING The celebration of the silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ange Di Bona of Marengo will be held Saturday, Nov. 22. Following Mass in their honor at St. John's church,Johnsburg, at 3 o'clock, there will be a reception at the K. of C. hall, McHenry at 5 o'clock, dinner at 6 and open house at 8. Mrs. DiBona is the former Dorothy Michels. By Gerry Breede The Downey Veteran's hos­ pital report for the month of October was given by Mary Kuemmel, Hospital chairman, at our last meeting. Dora Krocker, Ethel Hagberg and Alyce Kowal accompanied her on the regular monthly visit to the hospital on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The men played games and were served refreshments by the volunteers. Several of the members have also been ac­ companying Mary during the day on Tuesdays when she goes to the hospital. Three important dates to re­ member in December are the twenty- second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth. Christmas parties will be held on those date s for the patients at Dow ney. Donations of tooth brushes, tooth paste, sox, handkerchiefs, combs, etc., are needed to be used for gifts for the men at the hospital. Please bring them to the next meeting and help make a Merry Christmas for these men, many of whom will remain in the hospital for the rest of their lives. In the correspondence, two letters were read which had been received from the Wood­ stock Children's home, one re­ quest - cash donations and the other for the sponsorship of a child at Christmas. As in past years, it was decided to spon- , sor a child and bring joy to a resident of the home for the hol­ idays. A letter of appreciation was received from Father Baumhofer of St. Mary's church for the auxiliary's part in the recent celebration of his an­ niversary. Thank you notes were received from Lillian Het- termann and Vi Abbink. Marge Moreth, Membership chairman, reported on the membership kick-off dinner and thanked the members who help­ ed on her committee. They were Vi Schuble, Mary Kuem­ mel, Vi Abbink, Ila Hogan and Barbara Kuck. We have reach­ ed the two-thirds mark and still have five weeks to make 100 per cent by Dec. 25. If you have not paid your dues for 1970, send them in to Marge or the post home or bring them to the next meeting and help make it 100 percent. Gerry Breede, Community Service chairman, reported that the Cub Scouts who are spon­ sored by the auxiliary will col­ lect canned goods in Holiday Hills in appreciation for the sponsorship of the pack. A re­ quest was made of the members to bring canned goods which will also be used for the Christmas baskets for the needy of the community. Sunshine Chairman Florence Tussey reported on extending get-well wishes to George Bar- bian and sympathy cards had been sent to the Mercedes Mor- enz and Ila Hogan families. National Home Chairman Vi Schuble stressed that cost of a life membership in the Na­ tional home was a portion of the way the home is supported along with the purchase of National Home Christmas seals. Child welfare Chairman Mickey Walters distributed banks to the members present and asked that they be return­ ed at the next meeting. Dec. 3 was the date set for the annual Christmas party for auxiliary members. There will be further details in the very near future. Watch for them. Gerry Breede is the chairman and if you care to volunteer to help with the party, give me a call. It was decided that the aux­ iliary will sponsor the Cub Scout pack from Holiday Hills again this year. At this time President June Schmunk introduced Catherine Tetxlaff, 5th district president of the Ladies' auxiliary who attended our meeting for the purpose of inspection. She thanked the auxiliary and Marge Moreth for inviting her and her husband to our membership kick-off dinner. She compli­ mented our auxiliary for the many worthwhile projects we have undertaken and urged us to keep on with the good work. Our next regular meeting will be on Monday, Dec. 8. See you there or at the Christmas par­ ty on Dec. 3. American Legion Auxiliary News UNIT 491 By Kay Luing The 11th district meeting was held at Cary on Friday, Nov. 7,. Those attending from the American Legion auxiliary, Unit 491, were Mrs. Marge Mikota, Mrs. George (Ruth) Mrachek, Mrs. Roy (Laurette) Homo, Mrs. Courtney (Cecila) Violett and Mrs. Doris Walker.

VETERANS DAY PROGRAM The Veterans day program was well attended this year. The day was cold, but our vet­ erans turned out to honor their buddies.
