garments oi
both the
hand - knit
and-, ma
chine - knit
variety are
one of the
special
favorites of
this' year's
fashions.
Knitted garments and fabrics
have a greater tendency to
change shape during cleaning
than woven ones. This is due
largely to the fret that knitted
materials can stretch in one
direction and at the same time
shrink in the other. Also, knit
ted clothes are likely to lose
their shape during wear. For
this reason they require fre
quent cleaning and blocking to
restore them to their original
shape and dimensions. This is
true of fabrics and garments
knitted of wool, cotton, rayon,
nylon and combinations of
yarns.
With knitted materials, as
with all fabrics, your cleaner
must analyze the yarn fibers
to determine Just which clean
ing compound to use. Blocking
and finishing of knitted
clothes takes special skill, too.
You can trust your knitted
garments to us, and know that
they are in capable, respon
sible hands . . . that they will
be painstakingly handled dur
ing cleaning, blocking and fin
ishing . . . and returned to
you impeccably clean and new
looking. REMEMBER
Inspect
The garment after wear

he only teenager who feels this
way but because not many Kins
would have the nerve to own up
to these feelings.
Whenever I read a letter in
your column from a teen-ager
who complains because her par
. ills are too strict, I wish 1 could
i haiiju- places with her. My folks
don't care what I do and i
makes me miserable. The only
question they ask is "Wrier did
oii go last night'.'" Sometimes
1 think they don't even listen to
the answer. 1 could say "I went
to Georgia and got married" and
iliey wouldn't even raise an eye
brow. I am 17 and have complete
freedom to go and do as I please.
My best girl friend who lives
next door has a mother' who
makes her follow rules and reg
illations. I've adopted HER rules
as my own. Sometimes this girl
gripes because her Mom is too
-trict. I tell her she's lucky.
All teens, especially girls.
NEED rules to follow and some
body to account to. Will you
please punt this letter? It may
wake some kids up and also
some -parents.
Orphan with living parents.
Dear Orphan: Thank you for
your words of wisdom. You've
got a mighty smart head on
your 17-year-old shoulders. To
you good counsel I can only
add "Amen" and thank you for
writing.
Dear Ann: Do you believe the
wishes of a dying person should
oe respected? Four years ago
my sister died of cancer. Before
she passed away she told me if
ever her husband wanted to re
marry, to remind him that half
of everything belongs to their
oldest daughter, now 12 years
old.
She made him promise that be
fore a second marriage took place
he would put half of all his
worldly goods in a trust fund for
the girl.

Dear Concerned: I'm not

led with legal fish-hooks and
booby-traps. Alto, the inheri
tance laws vary according to
states. This I DO know, and it's
true in all the SO ttatet (hello
Alaska and Hawaiil) n one can
distribute an inheritance from
the grave. If your titter had
money of her own the should
have put it In a trust fund for
the daughter during her life

enacting an empty "death bed"

Many families using large quantities of milk will be interested in our new experi
mental quantity purchase plan whereby savings of up to 2 cents per quart can be made
by the customer who makes single purchase of two gallons (4 one-half gallon contain
ers) or more at a time. Ths two-gallon quantity purchase plan will permit a customer to ;
select any four of Lucerne fluid Milk Products sold in half-gallon containers to make .
up the two-gallon price. Smaller sized containers cannot be used in obtaining the two- "
gallon price. This plan will give to store customers the same advantage that large quan
tity purchasers now get on home delivery.
