Main St, New Holland W " ■ Ph: 354-2214 Suggestions Mending Tights If your young daughter’s tights suffer from frequent runs and holes, you can mend them if you are careful not to make more runs while doing it. Runs and holes in tights come from broken threads in the knit, explains Extension clothing specialist at Pennsylvania State University, Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson. To mend the holes or runs, turn the tights inside out, and put a light bulb or round, smooth, hard object inside. This will help you see the hole better. Using nylon or polyester thread and a needle, go through each of the tiny loops you’ll see around the edges of the run or hole. Pull the thread tight as you sew. And this should bring the loops Film Available on Weeds If you think farmers and hay fever victims are the only ones who suffer from weed problems, you’re likely just smelling the blossoms and haven’t yet discovered the thorns. r That’s the message of a new educational slide film just released by the Weed Science Society of America. Titled “The Wicked World of Weeds”, the film is aimed at informing farm and urban audiences alike that they both share the cost and discomfort of weeds whether they see them or not. The new slide series was shown for the first time at the annual meeting of the Weed Science Society of America in St. Louis. The film was presented along with more than 200 papers by leading authorities on weed and vegetation control during the three-day WSSA convention at the Sheraton-Jefferson Hotel.

Trying to mend tights with a sewing mcahine may not be successful, as you are likely to lengthen the existing run, says Mrs. Wilson. Any mend in tights will show some, but it will show less if you do it on the wrong side. Tights are one item where a higher quality pair may give better wear. Usually, the heavier, textured tights do not develop holes and runs as quickly as the smooth, sheer ones. They are also easier to mend and do not show the mends as much. Examine the construction of tights before you buy them. Look for a strong knit, reinforced heel and toe, and size that’s big enough, suggests Mrs. Wilson. losses to agriculture alone are estimated at 3.7 billion dollars each year, a cost which follows food right to your table. It takes million of tax dollars to control weeds along streets and highways, in lakes and streams, in parte and other public lands. Industry spends additional millions to control unwanted vegetation around factories and stores, airports and railroad tracks, pipelines and highlines. It’s another expense of doing business, and another cost the consumer must bear when he buys any product or service. Many people are affected more directly. The film states that 13 million people in the United States suffer from hay fever and asthma, much of it complicated by weeds Copies of the slide series are available to schools, garden clubs or any other interested group or individual at a cost of $B.
