2 Heppner Gazette Times, October 1 1942 SAVING CLOTHES BOTH PATRIOTIC AND PROFITABLE It is patriotic, profitable, and real ly "the thing to do" these days doing everything you can to make your present wardrobe last as long as possible, says Miss Lucy R. Lane, specialist in clothing and textiles at Oregon State college. When plenty of materials were available to ge t new garment's when ever one's whim dictated, or pocket book permitted, clothing conserva tion methods were not :;o important, but all that is charged now, she says. Here are some oi" her sugges tions, some new and some old, for making clothing last and retain its good looks. Rayon .hose now on the market need special vii::h 3ng car; because rayon becomes weak when wut. Lay these on a towel to dry and never put them on until thoroughly dry. As this may take longer than just overnight, extra pairs to change to are an economy. Stockings of any kind last longer when put on the right way, which means rolling them from top to toe before putting them on. Shoes will last longer if worn only for occasions for which each pair is suited, which means sturdy shoes for work and play, and dressy shoes only for dressy occasions. Shoe trees are more than ever needed now, while quick repair means longer life. Wool clothes are far too valuable o be used as moth feed. If not al ready stored with moth -protecting flakes or other materials, it is best tr get them out in the sunshine ev ery so often and give them a good brushing. Moths particularly like soiled wool and are sure to pick out a grease spot or soiled collar if pos sible. Thin scarves worn around the neck are not as necessary for warmth as they are to. save a coat from collar smudge. Sweaters are best put away fold ed in a drawer rather than on hangers. Carelessness in pulling them on. and overloading of pockets u'ls them out of shape. Gentle washing in lukewarm water and mild soap, with thorough rinsing, e.'e essential. Apple Marketing Trends Shown by OSC Whenever national production of apples has amounted to more than 0 million bushels in normal times, American apple growers have had serious marketing difficulties. Such difficulties have usually affected the Pacific coast growers more than others because apples are grown in nearly every state in the union, hence those farthest, from market are at a disadvantage. These and many other facts are recounted in a review of marketing problems of northwestern apples from 1020 to 19-10, by Dr. Joseph W. Allison of the department of history at, Oregon State college. The re view was minted in an issue of Agricultural History earlier this year. All of the reciprocal trade agree ments negotiated by thisv country have favored apples. Dr. Ellison rjo'nts out. Agricultural exports to 1G signatory countries were 40 per c?nt greatr-r in 1037 than in 1035, while shiisments to countries with out trade agreements declined 4 per cent during the same period, says the author. No attempt to forecast or recommend future policies is made in the review, the article be ing confined entirely to a recording of past events. Army Reserve Quota Zcl at High Figure Oregon State -College This insti tution has been assigned a definite quota of 1037 as the number possible to enroll this fall in the enlisted re serve corps of the army. The quota, bicher tbn first estimated, is divid ed to rcrmit 313 freshman enroll ment-, 2-M r ophomorc:, jumois, and 209 seniors. Representatives of the correspond ing naval reserve programs have previously announced that the r.a ry Vjll match th? a-my figures, which would provide for a possible total enlistment here of 2054. men. Col lege officials believe that this will be an ample number to care for the physically fit men students who choose this type of combined college military training. Hp! FIFM B7 dJ k Mi uW V7 j s V ?
