PAGE 20-?LAIM3EALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1972 Hps For The Homemaker TURKISH VISITOR Oct. 1, Miss Nadire Akinci, from Turkey, came to McHenry County to spend two weeks with the Raymond Olbrich family of Harvard. Miss Akinci is a delegate on the professional rural youth leader exchange sponsored by the National 4-H Foundation and the Cooperative Extension Service. The purposes of such an exchange include studying and observing 4-H and similar youth programs, exchanging ideas, experiences, methods, and other ways of strengthening programs, and to promote international un­ derstanding. At home, Miss Akinci is the national 4-H organization, coordination, and activities director for the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture. She is a home economist and has done advance study in the United States. While in McHenry County, >Tndire will share family ex- •erience with the Olbrichs. She .so will work with Pat Sullivan, McHenry County Home Economics Extension Adviser, viewing 4-H programs, attending adult home economics programs, and extension advisers training sessions. McHenry County 4-H Club officers will have a chance to meet Miss Akinci, Oct. 10, at the officers training school, at Clarence Olson school, Woodstock. FALL FASHION TRENDS According to Pat Sullivan, McHenry County Home Economics Extension Adviser, hitting the fashion scene big this fell is the classic look that means tailoring and detailing along with elegance and un­ derstatement. However, the fall look con­ siders all tastes. For the in­ formal appearance there is woodsman checks and plaids, lumberjack shirts and brushed fabrics. The look of innocence and femininity is exemplified by embroidery, ribbon, lace, Scalloping, crochet, ruffles and bows, swingy shirts, and the baby doll lode. Colors emphasize traditional fall tones - the earth colors - greens, oranges, blues, and browns as well as all the other favorites. Knits continue to be the favorite fabric thanks to its easy-care and easy wear properties. Hem lines are for individual to decide. The fashion industry provides both short and long for any occasion. Pants and pant sai.s are big for comfort anytime of the day. Changes this year include in­ creasing popularity of cuffs and even fuller legs. The trends all add up to fun and a pleasure to wear. A KNOCK AT THE DOOR BRINGS -- Meter-readers, repairmen and delivery men usually from reliable companies. If so, they are provided with proper identification. Ask to see their credentials before allowing such men to enter your home. Read the credentials carefully; don't just glance at them. A criminal intruder may try to gain access to your home with fake credentials. Fabric Wise Means W ise Consumer! Fabric finishes play an important role in determining the satisfaction you receive from the clothing you make or buy, says Pat Sullivan, McHenry County Home Economics Extension Adviser. FAITH BAPTIST NEWLY FORMED CHURCH IN AREA (Continued from page 1) church in Odessa, Texas, before coming to McHenry. He previously was registrar at Memphis Baptist college. Mrs. Gray is a teacher. Their son, George, is attending Texas A & M and their daughter, Rebecca, attends Tennessee Temple College. Sunday School is at 9:45, church at 11 and Sunday evening church at 6. All are welcome. KILL PHEASANTS Alfred Parfrey, operator of the Spring Grove Pheasant farm at 912 Main street, Spring Grove, reported to county authorities Monday morning that two stray dogs had entered the pheasant pens and killed 368 birds. The animals entered the pens by squeezing through a narrow opening at the gate. Parfrey succeeded in capturing the dogs which were turned over to the County Rabies Control officer. Owners of the dogs could not be determined. Fabric finishes change the way cloth looks or acts. Fabric finishing starts when the cloth comes from the loom or knit­ ting machine. In that state, the cloth is usually called "gray goods". By using several finishing processes or techniques, the manufacturer can change the gray goods into the beautiful, serviceable fabric, awaiting you in dress and fabric shops. Some finishes such as dyeing or napping can be readily seen or felt. Others, such as water repellency, are difficult to detect. Miss Sullivan points out that most often you must rely on label® fnr information Nondurable or renewable finishes are removed during the first washing or drycleaning. Sometimes they can be replaced at home or commercially. Durable finishes last through many washings or drycleanings. However, these finishes tend to lose some of their effectiveness each time they are cleaned or laundered. By carefully following the manufacturer's instructions for use and care, you can prolong the life of the durable finish. Permanent finishes are ef­ fective and remain unchanged by washing or drycleaning 'hroughout the life of the fabric. Though the law requires manufacturers to label each textile product according to fiber content, it does not require them to tell the finishes they • use. However, manufacturers often provide this information if you know where to look for it. Check labels and hangtags on gar­ ments, the printed information on bolts of material and the information on the selvage edge of the fabric for facts about the finishes applied to the fabric. Here are some guidelines for evaluating the usefulness of a particular finish: - - W hat type finish do I need?. - Will it require special care? - How durable will it be? - If it is nondurable, can it be renewed? -- Is the cost increased because of the finish? - If so, are the benefits gained worth the added ex- pense.- A typical family spends about one-half of their food money for meat, milk and eggs, and about one-fifth for fruits and vegetables, says Pat Sullivan, McHenry county home economics Extension adviser. The rest of the food money buys grain products, fats, oils, sugars, sweets and other items such as coffee, tea and spices. Since meats account for the largest part of the food budget, Miss Sullivan stresses the importance of buying meats carefully. Price alone is not a dependable buying guide. You should compare the servings per pound for the best buy. For instance, one pound of boneless meat makes three to four servings, but one pound of bone-in meat generally makes only two servings. Price and food value of mats are not always related. Many low-cost meats have high food value. The lean parts of beef, veal, lamb and pork are much alike in nutrient value. However pork contains more thiamine, which helps body cells obtain energy from food. Though beef is the mo6t popular meat, don't neglect poultry, veal, lamb, pork and fish. All are excellent sources of high-quality protein and also provide iron and B vitamins. Less expensive protein foods include dry beans and peas, nuts and peanut butter. And when pea soup and baked beans are prepared at home, they may cost less than the processed, ready-to-serve items. You can save on milk by using at least part of it in the non-fat evaporated or dried forms. Non-fat milk provides as much protein and calcium as whole milk but it has fewer calories. Old Hone Skew! Farmers and tradesmen in rural England still find horse-drawn carts are economical, which is good news for the Gypsies who gather each June at the Appleby Fair. They have been trading in horses at the fair since it began in 1750. Tree-eaters? When Algonquian Indians roamed the forests of present-day New York State, legend says Iro­ quois braves scoffed at them: "Hatirontaks" or "They eat trees." That is how the Adirondack Mountains got their name.
