To Sew a Fine Seam
On August 12. 1851, Isaac Singer obtained a patent on his
rocking-treadle sewing machine. Singer's invention had
many improvements over previous, unsuccessful
machines it had a straight needle that went up and down, it
could sew a straight or curved seam, and it had a fool-operat
ed treadle to run the mechanism Unfortunately, it also had
the special lock-stitch that had been previously patented by
Elias Howe Singer refused to negotiate an agreement with
Howe, and a legal battle ensued. Finally, in 1854, Howe was
awarded a royalty on every machine manu
red Howe and Singer both did quite
financially and the public got a practi
il. affordable sewing machine.

EarthwisE
Long before “the environ
ment" became such a hot
topic. Buckminster Fuller
said. “Pollution is nothing
but the resources we arc not
harvesting We allow them to
disperse because we've been
ignorant of their value ” To
successfully conquer the
problems of pollution and
waste, we need to
change not only our
habits, but our atti
tudes as well We can
think of recycling as a
pain-in-lhc-neck imposed
on us or a savvy business
investment in this busi
ness of living on earth
