XXX How to Buy Elastic Elastic is often used in the waistband of today’s suits and pants. It’s an easy technique because the placket and fitted waistband can be eliminated. It’s comfortable, too, for the waistband expands and I 5 Lancaster harming, baturoay, Marcn tv, xv/a— contracts with any variation in size. There arc many types of elastic available and little information to help you make your choice. You’ll find elastics made from polyester, nylon, rayon and cotton fibers. Try some of these buying guidelines the next time you purchase elastic. Polyester elastics are shrink-resistant, dry cleanable, machine washable and can be dryed in relatively hot dryers without damage. Polyesters are ideal for synthetics and for swimwear, because they are not adversely affected by salt water or chlorinated water. Rayon elastic will stretch when wet, so avoid using it in swimwear. It is best used in garments which will be hand-washed and air-dned.

Brandt, R-Lancaster, announced this week that he will begin bringing his new “Mobile Office” to his 98th District constituents to help solve their problems on a personal basis. Using a converted camper for this month-long trial period, the State Assem blyman will kick off his effort at the steps of the Capitol building in Harrisburg and is scheduled to conduct a “drive-through” of all centrally located boroughs m the District. “I am initiating this “mobile office” concept after numerous requests and careful evaluation toward improving service to the people,” Brandt said. “At the end of the month, the program will be Hot water can cause shrinkage and dry cleaning can damage the elastic. Cotton may shrink some, but usually not as readily as rayon. If you are sewing swimwear or other garments of cotton fabric, cotton is a good choice. Elastic is made by braiding or by weaving. If you look carefully, you can see the differences between the two constructions. The braided elastic becomes narrower when stretched. Braided elastic is ideal for use in casings. Woven elastic is a better choice when ela stic is sewn directly to the garment. Choose elastic for the job you want the elastic to do. Lingerie needs only light elastic; children’s wear needs only narrow widths, while adult wear requires wider elastic. reviewed to determine if the Mobile Office is the best method for reaching as many Lancaster Countians as possible with the least inconvenience to them. “After leaving Harrisburg the first day, April 4,1 plan to make a tour through the boroughs of Columbia, Elizabethtown, Manheim, Marietta, Mount Joy, and Mountville on the same date,” Brandt explained. Brandt said his mobile office will be stationed at a different borough each Friday evening and Saturday morning throughout the month. The exact times and locations for the rest of the month will be announced at a later date.
