I t ) Preserve historic textile treasures Page 8 January 18,1985 As you discover old clothing or textile items among your family’s historical treasures, pay close attention to their storage if you want future generations to enjoy them. Fabrics have lasted for cen turies when protected from sun light, moisture, mildew, insects, heat, fumes, dust, abrasion and chemicals. We offer these suggestions for successful storage: —Store garments free o f soap and starch that can attract in sects. — Avoid storage in air-tight plastic bags; textiles need air ing. Also, plastic can hold mois ture in and attract dirt. — Fragile garments should be stored flat, but store with as few folds as possible. Folds should be loose, padded and arranged near the outside of the con tainer where there will be less weight to damage the fibers. — A clean white sheet that has not been treated with a chlorine bleach for a number of washings makes a good protec tive lining within a storage con tainer of wood or cardboard. D on ’t let textiles touch wood, cardboard or paper because this may affect dyes, degrade fibers, or cause staining. — If the garment is sturdy enough to be hung, hand it on a well-padded hanger. —Store garments in a dark place to protect them from sun light, which can cause colors to fade. Relative humidity of 50 percent or lower will help pre vent mildew. Changes in tem perature and humidity should ) be kept to a minimum. There fore attics and basements are not the best storage areas for clothing. Unfortunately, these may be the only spaces availa ble. When this is the case, be alert for signs of mildew or insects. A really valuable item should be stored in the living space. —To protect clothing from m oths, place small muslin bags of moth crystals in storage drawers or hang them near gar ments. Locate them above gar ments because the protective fumes sink. Avoid direct con tact of garments and crystals. When precautions such as these are followed, historic tex tiles have a good chance of sur Spilyay Tymoo photo by Miller Geo-Quiz viving to be admired by genera Spilyay travels throughout the reservation snapping pictures and every-now-and-then he sees a tions to come. IRA enables retirement savings There is a way to save for retirement that permits you to reduce your present taxes, and lets the savings grow tax-free until you retire, when you prob ably will be in a lower tax bracket. It is called an Individ ual Retirement Account (IRA) and in 1982 and 1983 some $83 billion was deposited in IRA accounts opened by Americans. How does it work? First, if S pilyay T ymoo you are employed you can deduct from you gross taxable income the amount you put into a spe cial account each year (up to $2,000 or the amount you earn, whichever is less.) Further, the interest dividends or capital gains earned by your investment are not taxed until withdrawn at retirement. Thus, you are get ting both an immediate tax de duction and future ta x benefits picture which would make a good Geo-Quiz photo. Here is one fo r someone to identify.

Fire safety is continuous job Be aw are of all potential f i r e hazards and be prepared. Here are a few guidelines for practic ing fire safety all year long: Fire can strike suddenly at any tim e of day or night, so both parents and children should be ready to act. W hy n ot make a fam ily fire drill a m onthly rou tine, so everyone is prepared: ♦A ppoint a family fire chief. ♦Plan tw o escape routes to the outside from each room . ♦Agree on a meeting place safely aw ay from the house. H ere you can count noses to m ake sure, no one has been left behind. ♦M ake sure emergency routes are practical and safe. ♦Time all fire drills a n d review procedures with family members. Install sm oke detectors in the bedroom s, kitchen and furnace room . Purchase a com mercial fire extinguisher and place it in or near the kitchen. Post p h o n e num bers for the fire departm ent, am bulance, po lice departm ent and family doc to r on or close to all telephones. P u t a fireplace screen in fro n t of the fireplace to keep sparks from flying and to keep burning logs in place. Keep baking soda within reach of your range in the kitchen to extingiush small electrical or grease fires. Baking soda, when heated, releases corbon dioxide, which smothers flames. To douse a fire, and ranch products rem ain bas- Stand back and toss handfuls of baking soda a t the base of the flames. W hen the fire is out, rinse food and pat dry with paper towels before continuing to cook. P ure Baking Soda is a pure food product th?t is found naturally in all living things so it is food safe. D o n o t use baking soda to extinguish fires in deep fat fryers, since grease can splat ter and spread the flames. If you are unable to control the fire, or have any doubts, call the fire departm ent immediately. F o r added protection against fire, make Baking Soda Emer gency Fire Pail with a coffee can filled with baking soda. Place these pails where a fire could break out—near the stove, by the fireplace, or any open flame- T o o b ta in th e A rm an d H am m er P u re Baking S oda Emergency Fire Pail label and instructions how to m ake the pail, send a long, stamped self- addressed envelope to: Fire Pail Label, A rm and Ham m er, P.O.
