Turkey Suits the
Thrifty To a “T”
For American
homemakers interested in
stretching food dollars, the
U. S. Department of
Agriculture has these words
of wisdom and good cheer,
“Turkey suits the thrifty to a
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service reports
that turkeys will be available
in record quantities during
May, normally a light
month. The volume of
turkeys coming on the
market will be about one
third larger than the most
recent three-year average
for May. Cold storage
holdings on hand likely Mil
exceed the three-year
average by about six million
birds.

Aside from being
downright enjoyable eating,
turkeys offer high quality
protein at relatively at
tractive prices.
And here's another im
portant plus: Every bit of the
turkey meat can be used.
The first serving might be
the traditional roast turkey
just as it was offered back in
the days when turkey was
almost exclusively
thanksgiving • Christmas
fare. Or more in keeping
with the approach of sum
mer, turkey can be the piece
de resistance at an outdoor
family barbecue.
Following the first-time
serving are the many ap
petizing ways to use lef
tovers: tasty turkey sand
wiches - either hot or cold;
turkey soup; and many

Look For Shrinkage Terms
Did you ever take a baby
blanket out of your dryer to
find it was reduced to the
size of a place mat? Or find a
dress has become two sizes
too small after drying? Both
of these cases are the result
of shrinkage.
You can avoid such con
sequences by studying fabric
care labels both before and
after you buy. Look for
specific terms to indicate
whether the cloth has been
stabilized so any further
shrinkage or stretching
won’t seriously alter its
shape or size.
“Sanforized” or “Rigmel”
guarantee a fabric will
shrink only one percent or
less with normal laundering.
“Sanforized plus”, means the
cloth has a finish meeting
standards for shrinkage
control, wrinkle resistance
and smoothness after
washing in wash-and-wear
and durable-press garments.
“Residual shrinkage”
indicates the specific per
centage of shrinkage left in a
fabric. If this is not more
than one percent, shape will
be affected little. But if
residual shrinkage is 3 to 5
percent or more, the change
will be noticeable.
For example, a size 16
dress with 3 percent residual
shrinkage will shrink Vh
inches in length and more
than an inch at the bust. A
size 15 shirt with 5 percent
residual shrinkage may lose
nearly 2V* inches in the chest
and an inch in the sleeves.

Any tag stating a fabric la
preshrunk should also tell
you the amount of shrinkage
left in th'e article.
“Preshrunk - residual
shrinkage not more than
percent.” Terms such as
“pre-shrunk,” “kitchen
shrunk,” “pre-laundered,”
or “shrinkage controlled”
are meaningless unless a
percentage of residual
shrinkage is stated.

Hanging Baskets | Continued from Psp 26}
Then there should be a drainage layer and then soil. For an
interesting effect, she says you can punch holes in the
spagnum moss and hove plants coming out through the sides
of vour basket as well as growing from the top.
Most outdoor hanging containers are hung from a porch,
patio or breezeway. A breezeway is adequate for most plants
even though they may not get direct sun, because there is so
much light available, Miss Levine says. Stauffer says it’s
helpful if most plants get some morning sun. Impatiens, of
course, are one plant that will thrive in shade. Stauffer said
that he had seven floral baskets banging from a tree at his
home last year and said the effect was quite beautiful.
Miss Levine cautions that you must be especially mindful
of the wind when positioning your outdoor plants. Your
container must be firmly anchored and should not be able to
come unhooked, or you might find yourself with a hole in a
wall or a serious injury.
If you are lucky enough to get a banging plant for Mother’s
Day, enjoy it and care for It properly, and you’ll have many
hours of pleasure as well as an unusual and attractive ad
dition to your decorating schemes.

ARE YOU
SURE
YOUR WELL WATER
IS SAFE TO DRINK?
BE SURE.
PROTECT YOUR FAMILY'S
DRINKING WATER
WITH THE SAME
GERMICIDE
USED BY OUR
LUNAR ASTRONAUTS.
Unfortunately, many, many family and farm water
wells are contaminated and unfit to drink. Your
own drinking water may harbor deadly disease
germs—typhoid, dysentary, polio, to name just
a few. Protect your water supply, and your
family’s health, by installing the economical, effi
cient lodmator.
The lodmator uses the same germicide that keeps
the Astronauts’ drinking water germ-free. The
lodmator, under normal use, lasts a family of four
approximately 10 problem-free years.
ADVANTAGES OF THE lODINATOR:
□ Kills harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi
□ No moving parts—No breakdowns
□ No objectionable chlorine taste or odor
□ Simple installation
□ Easy to use
□ Economical
□ No electricity required
LET US TEST YOUR WATER FREE
