Co-with
Shelton Will Speak
At H Ec Weekend
Mary Shelton, associate professor of clothing and textiles and
director of the Ellen H. Richards Institute, will discuss "What You
Can Expect of the 'Miracle' Fibers," during the Home Economics
Spring Weekend, April 9 and 10.
"While the new synthetic fibers do have many advantages, they
are not miracles," Dr. Shelton be
lieves. Many of the claims pre
sented by the manufacturers are
for advertising purposes only, and
are not based on accurate facts.
The wearing qualities of the
synthetic fibers depend upon the
use given to them by the con
sumer. If properly selected and
cared for, they will give satis
faction to their owner. In order
for the consumer to buy and use
wisely, he must have an accurate
understanding of the fibers. He
must know what they can do and
what they can't do. Education for
the consumer by the manufac
turer, therefore is an important
factor which must be developed
further in the future.
Dr. Shelton received her B.S.
degree, M.S. degree, and doctor
of education degree at Teachers
College, Columbia University. Be
fore coming to the University, she
had been associate professor of
textile and clothing in the Col
lege of Home Economics at the
University of Tennessee, where
she also headed the program of
research in textile chemistry.
From 1941 to 1944, Dr. Shelton
was employed by the Ciba Co.,
Inc., doing research in the de
velopment of finishes, detergents,
and dyes in relation to new fab
rics and fabric construction.
Before going to the University
of Tennessee, she was a research
associate with the American As
sociation of Textile Chemists and
Colorists. She is a senior member
of the American Chemical So
ciety and one of the American
S t a n d a r d s Association on the
standardization of hotel textiles,
and is on a committee of the De- 1
partment of Commerce on the re
vision of testing methods for con-1
sumer goods.

ay. oe.
If any of you remember, it was almost 2 years ago that
Bobbie was previously an OK Joe girl. This hardly changed
in all that time, so we thought it only fitting to have Bobbie
become the first girl to be an OK Joe twice.
No, it's not that we're lazy; we just haven't had time to
change the display in the Western Union window.
Sometime this week there will be a selection of prints in
color which should be an eye-popper.
By the way, after being booked up solid on composites for
the past .6 months, there will be an opening for one in about
10 days.
After 2 years of experimenting with its potentialities on
portraits, we can now offer the incomparable Belgian - Suede as
an optional paper surface for something truly different.
Party of the week—Gamma Phi Beta.
