begun, it offers one an op
portunity to reflect on last years

ideas for the future.

the construction of two portable
plastic greenhouses for both
Agriculture and Biology
Departments The Chapter later
sold over 230 tomato plants plus
various other garden vegetables
to offset construction costs.
A variety of learning ex
periences developed in the
agriculture classroom through
use of films, guest speakers, field

Vinyl Has Appeal As
Upholstery Fabric
Vinyl, once an ugly duckling so
far as furniture upholstery was
concerned, has grown into a
beautiful covering with almost
universal appeal.
Forget any early associations
you might have had with vinyl as
a covering used on movie house
seats or on cheap dinette
cushions, says Mrs. Helen
Puskar, Extension home fur
nishings specialist at The Penn
sylvania State University.
Vinyl is now available in four
different types and in countless
colors and designs And on the
practical side, it’s easy to clean
and very durable.
Expanded vinyl is laminated to
a knit or woven backing The
fabric serves to soften the vinyl
and makes it more flexible. Some
expanded vinyls have a layer of
cushioning for extra luxury
Mrs Puskar says if you like fine
glove leather, but can’t afford it
for upholstering, expanded vinyl
will serve the purpose at far
less cost.
Supported vinyl is laminated to

a strong, heavy fabric backing
for heavy duty upholstery use.
Breathable vinyl is of fine quality
with fabric backing. It has tiny
air openings for porosity and is
not hot and sticky to sit upon.
Unsupported vinyl used mostly
for inexpensive cushions, is
without backing and is less
durable than other types.
Some vinyls look like familiar
upholstery fabrics. Others
imitate smooth textured leather
and suede. Still others look like
what one would expect a plastic
to look-smooth, shiny and sleek
Mrs. Puskar advises that when
shopping for upholstery
materials find out if the covering
is colorfast to light. You can’t tell
about colorfastness by ap
pearance. Ask for such in
formation and look for in
formation labels
