A fabric finish is any treatment that is given to the cloth to change the way it looks or per forms. Fabric finishing usually starts when the cloth comes from the loom or knitting machine. In that state, the fabric is usually called “gray goods.” By using several finishing processes or techniques, the manufacturer can change the gray goods into the beautiful, serviceable fabric awaiting you in dress and fabric shops. Some finishes such as dyeing or napping can be readily seen or felt Others, such as water repellency, are difficult to detect. Most often you must rely on labels for information about the finish of a garment fabric. To understand the information on the label you need to know what to expect from certain finishes. The three general classes of fabric finishes are nondurable, durble and per manent. Some finishes are removed during the first washing or irycleaning. Sometimes they can oe replaced at home or com mercially. These finishes are called nondurable or renewable. Finishes that last through many washings or drycleanings are described as durable. Durable finishes tend to lose some of their effectiveness each time they are cleaned or laun DEPENDABLY YOURS LOBPOOI GAS We Deliver LP-Gas No matter where you live, you can count on us to service IP-Gus needs fast and efficiently (agway) LP-GAS AGWAY Petroleum Corporation Box 1197 DiiierviHe Road Lancaster Pa Dad 717 397 49b4 You Heard? dered. Some durable finishes are effective much longer than others. However, by carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for use and care, you can prolong the life of the durable finish. Permanent finishes are ef fective and remain unchanged by washing or drycleaning throughout the life of the fabric. Although the law requires manufacturers to label each textile product according to fiber content, it does not require them to tell the finishes they use. However, manufactures often provide this information if you know where to look for it. Check labels andhangtags on garments, the printed information on bolts of fabric and the information on the selvage edge of the fabric for facts about the finishes applied to the fabric.

LUTZ, INC. .«■ Getting The Most From Vegetables When you prepare vegetables, make sure you don’t throw away the vitamins. Different parts of vegetables differ in nutrient content. For example, the leafy part of collard greens, turnip greens and kale contain much more vitamin A than the stems. If you remove the fibrous stems you lose few nutrients. The outer green leaves of lettuce are coarser than the inner leaves, but the coarser leaves have higher calcium, iron and vitamin A value. Use the outer leaves whenever you can. When you trim cabbage, use the inner core, too. The core is high in Vitamin C. Broccoli leaves have much higher vitamin A value than the stalks or flower buds. If the broccoli leaves are tender, plan to eat them. Keep them cool and moist until you can prepare them. Use a sharp blade for trim ming, cutting or shredding fresh vegetables to prevent bruising. Bruising vegetables causes loss of vitamins A and C. If you have to work hard to convince your family they should eat their vegetables - make the effort worthwhile. “ALL-WEATHER E” TIRES OTHER SIZES MM AH MM LOW PRICED TOO Jl _ SIZES 7.75x14 (F7B-14) M_M_ MM_M_ Tax per tire, 7-75x15 (F7B-15) M | 8.25x14 (G7B-14) I 111 ■ tires 8.25x15 (G7B-15) ■ IWI M ■ Donna Bennetcli Will" (Continued From Page 24) really that hard.” Her other interests include swimming and reading. Donna graduated from Eastern Lebanon County High School in 1972 with a major in business. She was in the Future Homemakers Club and the Library Club, and was president of the Future Business Leaders of America. Donna said she helps do the barn work occasionally, and her job is usually washing off cows in preparation for milking. Her father’s farm is 148 acres and he milks about 50 Holsteins. He is a member of Lehigh Valley Dairy Cooperative. The Bennetchs’ other children are Marilyn, 21, who is married to Phillip Campbell; Lisa, 10; and Paul, 16. In the future Donna would like very much to visit Germany where her grandmother, Mrs. Hermann Sauter, still has relatives. Her goal is to go first on a Camp Swatara bicycle tour through Germany, Switzerland and France, and then possibly visit relatives. Her grandmother teases her that she’d better study up on German before she starts her trip. Donna has been a member of the Fort Zellers 4-H Community Club for seven years. Her projects this year are dish gar dens, jellies and cooking. She wanted to take a Pennsylvania Dutch cooking project, but the club is studying Italian cooking instead. Donna also works as a teen leader in the club and helps out on their baseball team. Donna praised the Lebanon County Dairy Princess F> /al because “it attracts a lot of. m families and gives everybody a chance to participate. I feel it’s a very good way to promote Dairy Month.” And so, Donna Bennetch begins her year of “speaking up” for milk and the dairy industry of Lebanon County. With her bright, positive attitude she’s sure to be an outstanding spokesman.
