(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

Mrs. A. A. Schramm, Salem's
president, spoke on national sup
port, and Mrs. Gertrude Ache
son, executive director, summar
ized reports from each represent
ed group on public affairs. Miss
Acheson's talk brought forth a
general discussion on the origin
of this department. It was
brought out that adequate wages
for girls are necessary if they are
to live up to the standards set by
the YWCA, hence interest in pub
lic affairs.
