What type of Margarine to Use
Regular - margarine, whipped
margarine, soft margarine, or
diet margarine. Wjiich should
you buy? How do these products
differ? The answer to that
question depends on your family
budget and how you’re going to
use the margarine.
By law, all margarine contains
80 per cent fat unless the product
is intended as a diet substitute.
The diet margarine substitute
must be labeled “imitation” or
“diet.” Package labels must also
state the type of fat or fats used to
make the margarine.
Regular margarine is
packaged in one-pound or one
fourth pound prints. Whipped
margarine is packaged in one
pound tubs or one-fourth pound
prints. Soft margarine is
packaged m one-half pound and
one-pound tubs—but usually two,
one-half pound tubs per package.
Soft, whipped and diet
margarine all cost more than
regular margarine. You’re
paying for the shipping, extra
ingredients and any other ad
ditional processes needed to
make the margarine ready-to
spread, fluffy or low-calorie.
Another difference between the
whipped and regular types of
margarine is the volume per
wieght. For example, one pound
of regular margarine contains

two cups of margarine. A pound
of whipped margarine contains
three cups because milk and air
have been added. This difference
poses a problem when baking
since you can’t substitute one
half cup of regular margarine or
butter, or a baked product
wouldn’t contain enough fat and
too much liquid.
Whipped margarine, although
more costly, is convenient
whenever you want a soft, fluffy
spread. However, choose the
regular type of margarine if you
want a better buy for your money
or if you want to use margarine
for baking.
Turn Closet Light off
Automatically
Ever wish your closet lights
would turn off and on
automatically without you having
to fumble around for a cord?
Gerald Bodman, Penn State
Extension agricultural engineer,
says now you can have just that.
A clever device that you can
install in your closets to turn the
light on and off recently came on
the market. It works much like
the light in your refrigerator.
The device consists of a socket
and push-button switch that you
can mount inside the closet door
with a couple of wood screws.
The, new device comes with a
connecting cord that you must
plug in to supply power for the

Buy Knit Fabrics Carefully
The endless variety of knit
fabrics available today offers
something for everyone. But it
also makes your selection dif
ficult because the characteristics
of the fabric will affect sewing
results and your satisfaction with
the garment’s performance.
Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Ex
tension clothing specialist at
Pennsylvania State University,
emphasizes the importance of
reading the label when you select
any knit. The label should state
the fiber content as well as any
possible percentage of shrinkage
that may occur. It’s especially
important to check on shrinkage
when buying cotton knits because
some can shirnk considerably.
Shrinkage is also a problem
with some man-made fiber knits,
so be sure to note care in
formation as well as fiber con
tent.

You can judge firmness of the
knit by pulling the fabric gently
in both die crosswise and length
wise directions. Most knits are
designed to stretch more
crosswise than lenthwise to in
crease ease of fit and comfort of
wear, explains Mrs. Wilson.
But a fabric that seems to have
an exceptional amount of stretch
light. You can do this by putting a
screw outlet in the socket you
now use for lighting the closet.
The best location for the new
switch and socket is the upper
comer of the closet door. This
gives the best light possible and
still keeps the bulb at least 18-
inches from clothing or other
combustible materials.
The light stays on any time the
door is open. And this serves as a
good reminder to close the closet
door.
lodized Salt
For many years you’ve been
able to buy iodized salt, clearly
labeled as such, to provide the
nutrient iodide in your diet. Keep
reading labels on salt. Soon they
should read “this salt supplies
iodide, a necessary nutrient.”
This has come about because of a
new Food and Drug Ad
ministration ruling.
There will still be salt sold
without iodide. The label on non
iodized salft will read “this salt
does not supply iodide, a
necessary nutrient.” Salt con

may readily “bag out” of shape
and require a great deal of care
to regain its original shape. Such
a fabric may also be more likely
to snag.
You can expect any loosely knit
fabric or one with loosely-twisted
yarns to snag easily. For in
stance, some of the soft spongy
types of polyester achieve thier
lovely appearance with loosely
twisted yams. But these fabrics
require constant careful at-
