With all the \ seems new gadgets appear daily. Josephine Kotch, ex- tension home economist, Luzerne County, describes some of the more helpful sewing gadgets on the market. Hem clips are fashioned like giant, flat bobby pins and hold fabric edges while you're work- ing on them. For example, you can use them to help determine the correct length of a hem and its evenness. Hem clips are quicker and more effective than pins. You can easily and quickly adjust them if the hem is not the length in quarter inches up to three inches, so they also serve as a measure. Hem clips are especially useful when working on fabrics which can’t be pinned. Once you start using hem clips, you'll wonder why it took someone so long to think of this idea. Employers Taught Safety, Health Rules The U.S. Labdr Depart- ment has begun a formal training course to help em- ployers comply voluntarily with Federal job safety and health rules. George C. Guenther, as- sistant secretary of labor, said 25 safety officers and other officials from member companies of the American Foundrymen’s Association participated in the first week-long session at OSHA's (Occupational Safety and Health Act) Training Insti- tute near Chicago. “We have received hun dreds of requests from em- ployers for this type of train- ing,” Guenther said, “so we are glad we can finally begin to respond.

A button must stand far enough away from the cloth to allow for thickness of fabric when you button the garment. The thicker the fabric, the higher the elevation needed. It used to be a struggle trying to balance a pin, or a match, or a pencil beneath a button and sewing over it so you would have enough extra thread to make the button shank un- derneath. Now you can select the elevation you want, slip the ‘“‘elevator’’ in place and sew on the button. When you remove the elevator, finish the shank as you've always done. Elevation choices range from % to 1 inch. A “jet baster’” ‘is simply a filled bobbin inside a clear see- through automatic dispensing once, and baste as long as the bobbin holds out. The bobbin pins right to your fabric, so there’s no problem with tangled threads and no need for con- stantly re-threading needles. For hand work this tool is great when you have a wide hem or other distances to cover with hand stitching. Another useful device is the automatic buttonhole cutter. It has a retractable fine steel blade with special lock-in grooves which are auto- matically sized and set for the standard buttonhole sizes from Y-inch to 1-inch. A small cut- ting block is included to make cutting easy and safe. These are just a few of the many sewing gadgets available. You have to decide if a sewing gadget is right for you. Unless you use it often, and have a place where you can find it when you need it. Page 11 Two officials from Frances Slocum State Park were cited for ‘‘outstanding public ser- vice’’ by the Dept. of En- vironmental Resources’ Bureau of State Parks during its third annual State Park Superin- tendents’ Conference in Harrisburg recently. Both awards were based on personal sacrifices and dedication to duty, far beyond employes of the Com- monwealth, while aiding area residents during the flood which followed Hurricane Agnes June 22. James L. Zambo, superin- tendent of the park at Car- verton, was presented the coveted third annual Director’s Award for ‘‘sustained and outstanding public service,’’ according to Bureau Director Conrad R. Lickel. Fred Rosencrans, park foreman, was presented one of two Bureau Awards for ‘‘out- standing dedication and per- formance.” Mr. Zambo, who worked practically around the clock for 10 consecutive days, aided in the rescue of stranded flood victims, arranged a patrol to prevent looting, provided potable water and evacuation shelters, supplied the borough of West Wyoming with water, provided overnight ac- commodations for evacuees and coordinated the establishment of a food and clothing depot. Additionally, Mr. Zambo continuously inspected the Frances Slocum Dam to dispel rumors that the structure was on the verge of collapse, provided housing and food for State Police, established a summer playground at the Park for the youngsters, and assisted in the coordinated operation of a flood relief village in the con- fines of the State Park. Presently > there are 265 mobile homes in that village which has required police and fire protection, a temporary postal service, operation of sewage and water treatment systems and a general coor- dination of services. Mr. Zambo, a captain in the Air National Guard, has been employed by the Bureau of State Parks since March, 1969. Mr. Rosencrans was ap- pointed a Park foreman in July, 1968, and participated in rescue work for an extended period of time during the emergency. Aided by Charles G. Heaser, a member of the park staff, and State police, Mr. Rosencrans patrolled the Susquehanna River and rescued ap- proximately 225 individuals, including many aged and in- valid persons, from roof tops and second story windows. The park foreman was also coffins which were dislodged from ‘the Forty Fort cemetery. A petition currently being circulated by members of the public affairs committee of the Dallas Junior Woman's Club advocates the placement of a traffic light at the intersection of Routes 309 and 415, Dallas. According to Jan Brady, who is heading the campaign for the light, there has been no dif- ficulty in getting people to sign the petition. ‘People are eager to sign it,”’ she says. “Everyone seems to realize that it’s an extremely = hazardous ir- tersection.” To date, Mrs. Brady's committee has utilized police accident reports and am- bulance logs to buttress its contention that a stop light is needed in front of the Dallas Shopping Center. Mrs. Brady reports that in the past three years, ambulance service in the area from the Weis Market to Dowey’s Esso Station has been required 26 times. In addition to the traffic light, the committee hopes to have a sign posted several hundred yards from the intersection which will read, ‘‘Route 309-- Keep Right.” “We're not expecting results overnight,” Mrs. Brady told the Post Monday night. “But the Back Mountain has grown to grow in the future--and this The name is registered can only mean increased traffic and congestion along the busy highway.” Mrs. Brady expected to take her proposal to Dallas Borough Council Tuesday night . 81h 10is 8 The design is patented and wife . .
