ahead,” said Walter Peechatka,

Furniture Needs Tailored Look
Tailoring is as important to a
chair or sofa as it is to a well
made suit
Whether the covering is a
woven fabric cr a plastic, how
well it is tailored to the chair or
sofa should be carefully observed
The covering should fit smooth
ly and evenly, and patterned fab
rics should be carefully matched
It is important to check for
straight seams
Button tufting is a bit more
expensive but sometimes helps
secure the tilling and prevents
wrinkles Coverings on foam up
holstery tend to wrinkle if not
securely attached
Look for these details fabric
cut and placed so the weave or
grainline will look even, self
decking with the fabric beneath
the seat cushions the same as that
used on the rest of the piece,
straight hanging skirts that are
lined, zippered cushions and re
versible cushions so wear can be
distributed, and arm caps to pro
tect chair and sofa arms from
soil

ing several different cuts and

NDC Board Premieres Movie
“MILK - What’s in it fdr the
Consumer? This was the theme of
a special National Dairy Council
exhibit at the recent board
meetings of the United Dairy
Industry Association, Dairy
Research Inc., American Dairy
Association, and NDC at the
Regency Hyatt O’Hare Hotel in
Chicago.
The exhibit showed what the
consumer would have to buy, and
what it would cost, to get from
another food source each of ten
key nutrients contained in a
single quart of milk.
Some of the examples, all of
which were illustrated with the
appropriate amounts of the ac
tual substitute foods, were as
follows:
“ONE QUART OF MILK
CONTAINS
as much calcium as 72 slices of
white bread ($1.05);
as much vitamin D as 15 eggs
($1.21);
as much one pound
of bacon ($1.86);
as much magnesium as 13
apples ($0.88);
as much vitamin A as 3% ears
of corn ($0.28).
The substitute food display was
accompanied by an exhibit of
NDC educational materials with
a selection of photos showing how
various affiliated Dairy Council
units use the materials in
nutrition-education teaching
situations.
The NDC exhibit is part of
NDC’s new emphasis on con
sumer nutrition education
programs designed to enhance
public appreciation of the
nutritional value of milk and
other dairy foods, especially in
the context of rising food costs,
