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.
According to the film, weed

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
