—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 24,1971 16 Ladies, Have You Heard? By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist What’s New In Blenders? Blenders continue to grow in popularity. Over five and one-half million blenders were sold in 1970. Blender containers with handles and mea suring marks on the side are a popular feature, as are larger capacity containers such as 6-cup or 48-ounce capacity. The lower silhouette of new blenders makes it easier to use the appliance at kitchen-counter height. Speeds of blenders vary from 2 to 16. The various settings take the guesswork out of blend- ing. Some speeds are identified as stir, puree, whip, grate, mix, chop, grind, blend, liquefy. Other blenders have speeds indicated by number. Many models have momentary on/off switches for maximum control during quick chopping and blending processes. One blender model has its own spatula that attaches inside the container and lets you scrape down the ingre dients during the blending opera tion This feature helps assure you of uniform consistency in the foods you are blending Convenient timers eliminate the guesswork and clock-watch ing needed with blenders without ihe timer One of the latest blender features is a cool and stir feature. It has a heating element which can cook such foods as sauces, gravies, hot drinks, and even popcorn Since the tem perature rises to 375 degrees, you can even brmg raw potatoes to a bod, cook them untd tender, and then blend them all in the same container. Because there are so many models of blenders on the mar ket and so many features to con sider, shop for the one that will _do -the- jobs you have in mm 3 for a blender. Remember, that no blender is designed to take the place of your electric mixer. And to get maximum use out ol this appliance, keep it out where you’ll use it. What Length Skirts?

Actually, proportion rather than length is the key factor in fashion Whatever length you choose, discover how to propor tion your clothes to your own body. Proportion also applies to the component parts of a costume For example, as longer skirts hide the legs, the neckline be comes more important and more uncovered. And designers feature a variety of necklines— bateau, deep “V”, and rounded styles. As hemlines go down, sleeves receive new emphasis. And waistlines become a rediscovered focal point of the costume. What skirt length should you wear? It’s up to you and your figure.
