FALL ’77 FASHION
TRENDS
Texture steals the
spotlight this Fall as fabrics
are layered for warmth and
mixed for impact! Challis, in
border paisleys, florals, or
allover paisleys on black or
beige grounds, is the
season’s dramatic trend
setter. Synthetics feel more
like natural fibers than ever,
and styles are lush, drapable
and feminine with the
blouson the leader. In ad
dition, the season is aglitter
with metallic yams of gold,
silver, and copper worked
into all sorts of fabrics. .
Colors run the gamut with
navy and purple pivital.
Gem tones and berry shades
are well-represented. The
brown spectrum - from soft
beige through chocolate.
Town Fair celebrates 10th anniversary
LANCASTER - The
Lancaster Town Fair is
marking its 10th an
niversary this year with a
special two-day celebration

wonderland of crafts and
displays to delight the entire
family, is sponsored by the
First Presbyterian Church,

bershop quartet, brass
ensemble and string quartet,
where the musicians will
stroll from site to site during
the evening hours.
In addition to providing
fun for those who attend.
Town Fair raises money for
a wide vaiety of local
organizations Over the last
10 years, the fair raised
approximately $lOO,OOO. Last
bronze, cordovan and henna
- is important. Bright reds,
violet, magenta, and
marigold are bold contrasts.
The return of the dress this
season and challis are
practically synonymous!
Challis, a soft, lightweight
fabric, was traditionally
woven of, wool. Today,
challis is likely to be made of
machine washable acrylic,
polyester, rayon or cotton.
Printed with vivid floral
patterns on dark grounds or
with paisley designs, the
challis feel and drape is also
achieved in blends -
tnacetate/nylon, cot
ton/polyester, rayon/polye
ster.
Along with new textures,
there is a marked softening
of styles. Dirndls and full-of
movement pleating or bias

gold mini-stripes.
NOW IS THE TIME TO
FILL SPOTS CAUSING
HOME HEAT LOSS
The early weeks of Fall
are a good time to search for
those spots in the house that
cause heat loss.
We’ve heard a lot about
“R” Values in walls, ceilings
and windows. Once in
sulation has been added to
the recommended levels,
then heat loss due to air
infiltration and thru the
upper part of basement
walls becomes more
significant.
In older homes, air in
filtration or air exchange
can easily exceed l-Vz air
changes per hour. In more
recently built homes where
flame fuels are used for
heating, the level may be in
the range of % to one air
change per hour. In a well
built electrically heated
home, it is probably closer to
Vz air change per hour. In
most homes, 3/8 to Vz air
change per hour is about all
that is needed.
In a well-insulated home,
heating an air change of one
per hour could represent
art sale, sculpture, pain
tings, a santuary, a cruise to
Israel, Haifa gift shop,
carmel winery, jaffa frozen
foods, trifles and treasures
shop, La Fleur plant stand,
kitchen kettle, and a jewelry
outlet, as well as the Tel
Aviv cafe.
Babysitting Service
Babysitting will be
provided m the St. James
Parish House ground floor
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each
day. Rates are 75 cents per
hour for the first child, 25
cents per hour for each
additional child. Disposable
diapers should be provided
by parents, who should
check their children every
two hours.
All > J ay parking is
available in city parking
garages.
about 40 per cent of the fuel
bill. Since this aspect of
home heating is so
significant, it then becomes
most important to cut down
on air leaks wherever
possible.
Weatherstripping around
doors and windows is one
very important way to
reduce air infiltration.
Caulking around doors and
windows on the outside is
also very important.

In many homes, air can
move freely out of
basements at the point
where the house framing
rests on the foundation wall.
Caulking at this point and
insulating the upper part of
the foundation wall can save
considerable heat loss from
the basement. There is very
little on the foundation.
Filling insulation into these
spaces cuts down heat loss
considerably.
