3 oh & aes : ; { + College Misericordia’s long- delayed Theatre 3 benefactor drive got underway officially team captains and team mem- bers meefing at the college to plan the You drive. Severely affected by the flood, the campaign organiza- tion was at ‘less than half strength for the initial meeting. Assurances have been received from other members that they will be able to participate, ac- cording to campaign general chairman, John J. Gartner, himself severely affected by the disaster with residence and business damaged. The campaign has been planned to continue through Sept. 13 with progress report meetings held every two weeks. The campaign will be concluded Theatre 3 presentation, ‘Kiss Me Kate,” scheduled to be held Sept. 28. Primarily, the campaign team members will solicit bene- factor memberships in Theatre 3. Each benefactor membership of $100 or more entitles the benefactor to two reserved seats for each of the three Theatre 3 presentations. The campaign goal has been set at 400 benefactors. Sister Miriam Teresa, RSM, president of College Misericor- dia, addressed the campaign workers at Wednesday's meeting and wished them success. Sister also referred to the college’s role as an evacua- tion center during the disaster saying, ‘‘The college was grate- ful it could serve the commun- ity.’ Money resulting from the Theatre 3 campaign will sup- port the series and help to de- fray some of the expense incur- red by the college in its service as one of the main evacuation centers in the Back Mountain area. At the height of the flood, over 1500 evacuees resided at the college. Currently, the campus and its facilities houses over 100 homeless evacuees. E) Choosing the right fabric at the right time is the most im- portant part of making a dress. But with so many fabrics on the market, and so many new ones coming out—where do we start? I suppose we should know the makeup of a fabric before we can know gshat it will do for us! Fabrics W made up of either natural fibers or man-made (synthetic) fibers. These fibers are woven into materials. The natural fibers are cotton, silk, wool, and linen—cotton from the cotton plant, silk from the cocoon of the silk worm, wool from sheep and other fleecy animals, and linen from flax. That’s why they're natural; be- cause they come from nature. From this we can easily assume what man-made fibers are. Just about everything else that’s left is synthetic, and that leaves a lot. The companies that nothing to do with making the actual fabric. How a fabric washes and behaves under wear depends mainly on its fiber con- tent. That’s why fibers are so important, a8 why it’s wise to check a bolt for fiber you like and don’t like. Sound strange? No! It’s just that we never think of pretty materials as fibers! Enough sof that—what are fibers? wil fibers come long and short, and are spun into yarns. Depending upon the method used, they can turn out yarns of different texture—nub, boucle’, looped, and many others. And to make it even more complicated, natural and synthetic fibers can be spun to- gether. Finally these yarns are woven into materials. Here we run into different ways of weaving, which I won't 'detail. What's most important about the weav- ing process is the finished ap- pearance given the fabric. What I'm trying to say is that what a fabric looks like is not always what it is. So—the first step, in choosing your fabric is—read the label what looks and feels like wool may really be cotton! For todays’ pattern you'll really wa i to take care in selecting the fabric. It’s Butter- ick 6635—for knit fabrics only.
