Young, Extension textiles specialist at the University of Maryland in College Park. These area rugs lend themselves better to cleaning than wall-to-wall carpeting because they can be taken up easily and sent out for a beating. They can also be rotated more easily to distribute the wear caused by people-traffic patterns. In addition, area rugs lend themselves to silk-screen print motifs which can form minweenters for furniture design and arrangement clusters. And, when you want to rearrange things, the Bukowski Gloria Loch Fogelsville, Pa, XXX MOUNT JOY, Pa. - The Mount Joy Rotarians sponsored the 4-H Elizabethtown-Donegal Capon Exhibit, Tuesday, November 16 at Hostetter’s Banquet Hall here.

In the last 10 years, car pets have moved into a new role as a background fdr other furnishings, the Maryland Extension home economics specialist said. This should be welcome news for harried, husbands whose wives traditionally demanded new furniture when new carpeting was installed in their homes. Carpets today are available in a wide range of fibers and an almost unlimited array of colors and textures, so they can be purchased to fit in with color schemes and decor already in use. Price and wearability are both determined by the texture of the carpet and the type of fiber used by the manufacturer, Mrs. Young noted. Wool remains the “Cadillac” of the carpet industry, costing more than twice as much as most manmade fibers.

Wool carpets have a soft, luxurious feeling underfoot, they clean easily, and they take well to color dyes. Acrylic-fiber carpets look and feel more like wool than those made from other synthetics. Nylon is still the most durable of all carpet fibers, however, and it continues to hold the largest share of the carpet market, by far. But polyester fibers are beginning to make inroads. After falling in disgrace in the men’s doubleknit suit market, polyesters are coming strong in the carpet field because they feel'soft underfoot and can be dyed in a wide range of clear colors. Polyester fibers are also very resistant to water-type LAND SAKES! it wouldn't be CHRISTMAS without tho things from Rebman’s P«rle& Shop 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. 800 S.

Mrs. Young recommends frequent vacuuming as best procedure for keeping carpets new-looking for a long time. She advises that an upright vacuum cleaner is best for this purpose because of its combination of brushes and suction. But she admits that uprights are not as versatile around the home as tank-type models. Many older houses probably have beautiful hardwood floors that would lend themselves well to the modern concept of area rugs, she notes. But a great number of newer houses may require laying down tile or parquet floors in order to accommodate the modern trend.
