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

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

from you gross taxable income

$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

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.
