Workers at Portland- Meet Salem YWCA had twelve rep resentatives in Portland -Friday at the area conference held at , the - First Methodist church, an inbe tween conventions meeting held to discuss policies made at the national convention a vear aso. Mrs. Arthur ForresAnderson, national president, spoke to the group on "The Wholeness of the YWCA. She told of the accom plishments of the Y, such as the starting of travelers aid and work with displaced persons. Emphasis at the meeting was placed upon securing a "cross section" in the Y with particular reference to I Sftiir, (tir Qoirr SUmvxs 1 (novations in Plastics Reflected In Many Products for the Home n a bj bbc binucr There is always great public interest in the field of plastics. Something about a man - made material in trigues the borne - maker and she is al ways on the lookout for new items in this field. One of the latest develop ments is a com plete line o t flexible vinyl plastics which will withstand temperatures ranging from 40 degrees below zero to 185 degrees above zero, Fahrenheit. Keep an eye out for news of new products in this ma terial your deep freeze will undoubtedly profit from the new quality in this vinyl plastic. . Another new development is in the field of plastic dishes. We have had plastic dishes for many years but not the durable and attractive kind. A melamina plastic has been adapted to ta bleware and white far. differ ent from the white, egg - shell and blue originally used for plas tic dishes of this type. They are just about unbreakable, and long-lasting. The new shapes and colors make them an excellent choice for a good all around din ner ware in a family of small children. Colorful plastic table tops can now be installed in homes where kitchen equipment already ex ists. Formerly the plastic "lami nates" used for this purpose could be put on tables only un derbigh pressure. Now the plas tics are applied as table and cab inet tops by using a rubber back ing which permits "contact pres sure" in its application. ! There is a new automatic re frigerator defroster combined with a kitchen clock, all in a styrene plastic case. The clock can be placed anywhere in the kitchen and the defroster works when the supply cord is plugged in the socket. Rainwear has loos benefit ted from the plastic develop ments. The newest raincoat! is an efcht - ounce affair 700 can carry In yonr pocket. Hat covers of plastics are also be coming popular. And. now yon will find' tie on boots that fit over yonr shoes and keep year ankles dry. Tie . on mat- tem for kid gloves protect them from the rain or snow. Attractive all - plastic purses in soft or hard finishes are available in all colors. One man ufacturer makes a plastic case fitted with all - plastic acces sories including comb, cigarette case and compact with a rain cap for extra measure. Something new "for the bath room is a plastic soap dish that comes in a variety of colors to match your bathroom walls. It is designed so that the soap lies on edge at an angle and is sup ported by three miniature col umns. All the water drains off immediately when you put the soap in the dish and you do not have the usual waste in soap jelly. You can match your soap iish to plastic towel racks, bath stool and canisters to hold soap flake boxes. Plastics for the kitchen In clude flaming red styrene cov ers for pop - np .toasters, sparkling- fryinr pans, stew pans and roasters wish beat resisting bandies, nnt choppers and egg crackers. A new egg beater has pressed nylon rears and paddles, and new clothes pins in many shapes and sizes are of plastics. In the toy field, there are plas tic fire engines, dump trucks, and all - plastic dolls in alt - plastic costumes that can be kept clean with a damp cloth. New inflat able toys made of vinylite plas tic film include a football and basketball and colorful replicas of animal and storybook charac ters. A plastic record can be bought with - a paperboard stage and characters which can be punched out of the packaging of the re cord. The stage revolves with the record and such themes as "Old MacDonald Had a Farm make good rainy day activity for young children. Folk and west ern songs, nursery rhymes and party game songs also come packaged with the paper doll stages. Even the family dog is re membered by plastics manu facturers. A scarlet vinyl film raincoat with matching rain boots, or a set in bright green, will be on the market soon for the well - dressed, dor. Plastle dog collars and nylon plastic leads are new, too. The lead comes In a handy plastic hold er which lengthens or takes np the slack by means of a spring. (Q) "Can you recommend 1 good all - around clock for the home?' (A) There is a new elee trie clock on the market with a duplex movement. If, for any reason, the current fails, an- aux iliary mechanism takes over and the clock does not miss, any time. The auxiliary mechanism needs winding less than once a year and I believe this clock is a good timepiece to have in a home. It will not stop running when the plug is removed or when it is put in a different place. You can select a model from a group of wood finishes ma hogany, walnut, maple, or blond oak or buy it in a ludte fin ish. (Copyright 1990. General Features Corporation) work among industrial groups.
