Fabric Finishes Vary
In Durability,
Care Requirements
Fabric finishes play an im
portant role in determining the
satisfaction you receive from the
clothing you make or buy.
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

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.

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.

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.
