LEISURELY SUMMER
FASHIONS
Fashion forecasters
predict a summer of crun
ched, crinkled fabrics and
calf-high pants, skirts and T
shirts in a wide variety of
treatments and prices.
Throughout, the emphasis is
on comfortable, easy-care
styling.
Shorts have dropped to
Bermuda length, fitted
through the hips and loosely
cuffed above or at the knee.
Hiking Bermudas, clam
diggers and gaucho pants
are the season’s calf
ticklers. Long pants are
narrow and cuffed above the
ankle, or soft and full with
tethered, ankles. The in
fluence of painter pants,
pilot and parachute jump
suits is transformed into a
sleeker, cleaner look, often
tied at the waist in
drawstring fashion and at
the ankels.
Longer-length skirts and
dresses give a slim ap
pearance, but swingy in
verted pleats enhance sides,
front or back. Look for
ribbon ties, pin tucking. All
around, back- or tummy
hugging yokes are fashion
newcomers.
Tunics, designed to go over
narrow pants or soft un
derskirts, are side-tied.
Loose apron and kimono
wraps are alternatives.
Overall detailing includes
cargo- and sweatshirt-type
pouch pockets. Ribbon
bands, elastic, drawstrings
and sashes replace hard
ware, such as big zippers
and clasps.
White and cream are the
basic colors, surrounded by
clear, mid-tone shades.
Ongoing denim varieties are
seen in white, mint green
and rose.
Frontrunners in machine
washable cotton and cotton
blends include homespuns,
muslins and gauze. Choose

perfections, or the trimmer
linen and shantung textures.

look. Surface interest is
boosted with synthetic
blends, stitch techniques and
brushing. Lighter and lacier,
even classic doubleknits can
be sheer and guaze-like.
Denim-look knits turn up
quilted, printed or with a
pre-washed effect.
Prints offer im
pressionistic use of color
without specific patterns.
Geometries take on
movement such as a stair
step pattern. Some create a
patchwork motif without
black outlines. Wood-block
prints use chic fashion
photos. Stripes are
everywhere and on
everything, from delicate
pins and giant ombres to
crinkled tweeds. And, border
designs mirror the
multicolored influences of
Guatemala and Mexico.
Quality
What Makes The
Difference?
“The best quality at the
most reasonable price.”
That’s most people’s answer
when asked what they look
for when grocery shipping.
But the idea of “quality”
and “reasonable price”
varies from person to per
son. Everyone has difference
preferences and a different
budget.
Consistency in taste,
appearance, and texture -
these are some of the things
you normally think of when
you mention quality in
canned foods. But what is it
that makes one canned fruit
or vegetable different from
another?
Begin with die seeds
It all begins with the seeds
used to grow the raw
product. They’re not all the
same - no more than two
peas in a pod are exactly
alike. Consistently high
quality, for example, is
partly due to the efforts of
agricultural research teams
to develop superior strains of
green beans, corn, lima
beans, peas, tomatoes, and
other crops. These strains
are bred especially for
processing - to retain their
firm texture and good flavor
in the can.
A watchful eye
Another critical point in
maintaining peak quality is
the harvest: Catching the
product at just the right
stage of maturity. Producers
need to keep eye on ripening
fruits and vegetables and
rushes them to the canning
line within hours after
they’re picked.
Still, not every batch of
tomatoes that arrives at the
cannery will be identical.
The canner must decide
whether to use each load of
tomatoes for fancy whole or
quartered packs, or to assign

the load to juice, sauce and
catsup.
Appearance is another key
to quality. A lot of skilled
hand work goes into
removing blemishes,
blemished pieces, and pit
fragments to make your Del
Monte fruit or vegetable look
appetizing.
These are the types of
things commercial canners
need to do to maintain the
consistently high standard of
quality consumers expect.
