How to care for wool and silk

Natural fibers such as wool and silk may cost more initially, but most folks agree they’re far more comfortable to wear than synthetics . , . and they’ll provide many seasons of service if they’re cared for properly. One of our readers, Maureen McCarthy, has shared with us some helpful fabric-care hints for wool and silk that she learned from her grandmother. Were passing them along and adding a few ideas of our own. Maureen suggests slipping on an undershirt or blouse beneath a wool sweater or dress in order to keep the outer garment from absorbing perspiration and body oils. It's important, however, that the “underwear” also be of natural fiber — such as cotton — so it will wick moisture away from the body rather than trap it. When you’ve finished wearing a piece of woolen apparel, Ms. McCarthy suggests that you inspect it for stains before hanging it back in the closet, since particles of grime will eventually weaken the threads. w I Travel fl T * ri WvT S Caskey TM scmr crutM continues to to on« •< too most popular toneis ol travel Tito lumped trow I.WMN to 1171 to ItoBMN to INI.

(If the garment is still clean, be sure to hang it up to air out awhile before putting it away.) Stains and spills should be blotted immediately with an absorbent towel, then sponged with clear, cool water, and blotted again. If the spot was caused by grease or oil, sponge it with water and sprinkle the stain with baking soda Let the powder dry, and then gently brush it off. When it was necessary to wash a woolen garment, Maureen's grandmother dunked it in cool water with a mild shampoo (not soap), and then rinsed it in cool water to which she had added three tablespoons of vinegar. Since wool reacts to washing much as human hair does, shampoo (which is milder than soap and doesn’t strip natural oils) and vinegar (which restores acidity) seem to work well together for cleaning. (Os course, many people find that cold-water-wash products are adequate for this job.) We've heard, too, that some folks in Scotland wash their woolens in a basin of barely warm water to which has been added two tablespoons of ammonia and several drops of oil (such as lanolin or vegetable oil). They swish the garment around in the mixture, rinse it well, and squeeze out the excess water. After being washed, sweaters and other knits should be spread out on a towel... patted into their original shapes . . . and left undisturbed until they’re almost dry. Skirts and trousers should be hung on clip-type hangers or secured to regular hangers with snap clothespins. In either case, wnen the woolens are still barely damp, they should be pressed with a steam iron. Deal with the inside of the clothing first, being careful to iron all the seams flat, and then turn the garment over and press the right side. When ironing the outer sides of wool apparel, most people like to use a pressing cloth (simply a piece of tightly woven fabric — such as a worn pillowcase — that’s placed over the garment to protect it from direct contact with the iron.) One old-timey, easy method of cleaning woolen rugs or blankets is useful in areas where winter bnngs low temperatures and snow. Wait for a cold (25 degrees F. or below) day after a snowfall, hang your soiled articles outside, and leave them for about a halfhour so that any collected grease hardens... and so that the fabric

Nappanee represented in Thanksgiving day parade

By GAIL WIDMOYER Thousands of television sets were tuned in to the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, Nov. 25, but the parade had special meaning for the residents of Nappanee since one of its citizens, Laura Showalter, daughter of Mr. and Youth center presents awards The 1982 awards program for the Lakeland Youth Center fund raising project was held last night at the youth center.

itself has cooled to the point where it won’t melt any snow with which it comes in contact. Spread the chilled articles on a fresh layer of dry, clean snow and walk all over them until the fine, frozen particles are completely worked into the mesh of the cloth. Turn the item over and repeat the process. When you shake the flakes off, most of the dirt will fall away with them. You can repeat this procedure in a new patch of snow if you'd like to be really fastidious. Silk requires even more special care than wool, but this lovely natural fiber does respond favorably to careful home cleaning. Ms. McCarthy says to hand-wash the silks, one at a time, in shampoo and cold water. Rinse them in cool water with a tablespoon of vinegar added, gently squeeze the water out, and roll each damp item in a dry towel for a half-hour or so. If you have a particularly deep-hued color garment, you should do a “patch test” before using this technique, since brilliant or dark silks sometimes streak and mottle. Because of its delicacy, silk must be pressed rather gingerly. Set the iron on “low” (or on the “silk" setting if your appliance has one), and be sure to use a pressing doth. Start while the silk is still slightly damp, and begin by ironing — carefully and gently — on the wrong side erf the fabric. Then turn the garment and press it lightly (still using the protective cloth* on the right side. Maureen says her grandmother taught her that real thriftiness involves buying only quality clothing ... wearing and storing it properly . . . and keeping it clean and in good repair. That's the kind of sound advice that never goes out of style!

Mrs. Sam (Janet) Showalter, was a member of the McDbnald’s Marching Band appearing in the New York parade. Laura was one of 104 youths chosen from more than 3,000 applicants as a member of the band composed of high school students from across the United SUites. The fact that Laura was a member of the band is impressive. but what makes the trip even more impressive is she was chosen to lead the tenor saxophone section with the honor of playing first chair. “I was really surprised,” said the North Wood High School senior who admitted she was still trying to collect her thoughts from the week’s stay in the Big Apple. “I’ve never been in a place (New York city) like that before,” continued Laura, “it was fun.” Hindered Career In her four years at North Wood, Laura has had three band directors which hindered her career ‘.‘in away.” Laura credits her second director, Rick Smith, for her interest in music and for giving her the chance to march in the New York parade. “He really got me started.” Any high school director can nominate two band members who have achieved awards and recognition for their performance and submit the names * to the national competition. Smith is responsible for subGolden Gleams It is not good that man should be alone. -Genesis 2:18. It is better to be alone than in ill company. -Stefano Guazzo. We walk alone in the world.

7 CATCHING HER BREATH — Laura Showalter, daughter of Sam and Janet Showalter of Nappanee, is trying to catch her breath after a trip to New York city where she marched in the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade as a member of the McDonald’s Marching Band. Laura was one of 104 students chosen from 3.000 who represented various states and joined their talents for the Thanksgiving celebration. She also had the honor of leading the tenor saxophone section of the band by playing first chair. (Photo by Gail Widmoyer)

mitting Laura s name and * credentials. The recommendations are reviewed and for those chosen in the preliminary round, an audition tape is sent for further judging. This year, 3,000 audition tapes were submitted and from them, 104 were selected to play in the Thanksgiving Day parade. Laura sent her audition tape in in June and learned in October during the half time of a football game that she had been selected to play in the band. New York Trip Laura left Nappanee on Friday, Nov. 19, for a week’s stay in New York city for less than a vacation. “We hardly had any free time,” said Lc’jra. “We spent at least eight hours a day and sometimes even more practicing.” Each band member had a roommate to share housing in the New York Sheraton where the kids ate, slept and practiced. Group practices were held in the hotel ballroom and other rooms were made available for sectional rehearsals. While long hours were spent practicing, one day was set aside for the students to tour the city. Sights visited by the group included the World Trade Center, the site of the Statue of Liberty and Broadway. On Wednesday. Nov. 24, the McDonald Marching Band made * a national television appearance on the Today Show which was a good way to prepare for the next day’s performance. Laura has many unique experiences from the New York trip, but she won’t fully recuperate from the week’s stay until she catches up on her school work. That doesn't mean she regrets the trip. “I'd go back to New York again, it was fun! ” Laura plays first chair tenor saxophone in the North Wood Symphonic Wind Ensemble and she is also a member of the jazz, pep and marching bands where she served as drum majorette in the latter. Laura would like to pursue her music interests and plans to attend Indiana University where she would like to major in saxophone.
