Chats With Your Home Agent Rug, Upholstery Care On November Calendar By Esther Kirmis How much are your rugs and upholstery worth? Whether you have new luxurious furnishings, heirlooms, or the basic necessi ties this part of your home repre sents a sizeable investment. (Even a good 9 x 12 foot carpet, plus a pad would be close to $250.) The care you give your rugs and upholstry can mean dollars in your pocket and post pone the day when you'll spend more money for replacements. The Morrow county extension unit women believe this is true and have scheduled the month of November study, "Care of Rugs and Upholstry" In their respec tive units. I gave project leader training to 12 women last Friday, October 26, when we met at the Pine City school. We learned that a rug can hold practically its own weight of dirt and still the surface may look clean. Some colors and types of carpet show less than others. Un seen embedded dirt can cut the pile and increase wear and tear. There are three kinds of dirt. (1) surface litter (107c) that can easily be picked up with the vacuum cleaner or carpet sweep er. (2) A little deeper in the pile rests dust (60) which comes from general use of the rug. (3) Heavy gritty dirt (30 and lik ened to the consistency of corn starch) which sinks into pile, out of sight, and is ground deeper vuith traffic nvpf the ruff. Aeita- tion and suction are required to remove harmful hidden dirt. The bulletin, "Longer Life for Your Rugs and Upholstry", writ ten by Bernice Strawn, OSU ex tension hnmp management and equipment specialist, lists this plan for regular cleaning: Daily care Remove surface litter with vacuum cleaner or carpet sweep er as necessary. Weekly care ripan thoroucrhlv usine about five forward and back strokes over areas of heaviest traffic. Seasonal care or as needed Sur face clean by shampoo or absor bent powder. Yearly care Vacu nm rncr pnshinn and back Of TUET Have rues cleaned nrofessionally if traffic is heavv. Emereencv care Remove spots and stains while tresn. Both methods of cleaning rugs and nnholstrv. shamDoo and ab sorbent powder, were tried at this meeting and the advantages and disadvantages of each were discussed. Emergency spot and stain removal was also discus sed. Case Furniture, Heppner Cleaners, and Western Auto stores, furnished samples of cleaners for this demonstration, "i npvpr realized how much In formation we could get on this sublect." said one of the Drolect leaders, "I hope I'll be able to carry back as much Knowledge to my unit.

Metrecal Developer Joins OSU Food Staff Tho Rfipntist who snarked the development of Metrecal, "won der" weight control substance, has joined the Oregon State Uni versity staff in the Department of Food Science and Technology. And the new objective of Dr. Robert L. Smith is to make OSU and Oregon "the center oi me tnr tho frpp pnteronse solution to the world food prob lems." Smith, only 40, accepted a po ciHrm nn thp DSII staff because he had decided it was "time to retire" from his job as iNew rro duct Director for Mead Johnson r onrf to snend the rest ailu . tw.v. i . of his life trying out ideas from a well-filled notebook for new food products and developments. Smith envisions a uompicA f fnnH cnppialtv eomDanies" lo cated in Corvallis and the state that would work on new pro ducts. He is investigating mar keting and management possi bilities for launching his and others' ideas. Metrecal is an example of what an idea and work will do, Smith says. He made the initial formulations and manufacturing and marketing evaluations uuu nrnHnrPd Metrecal with $70,000,- 000 sales in one year. A related product tnar omun helped develop is finding wide u,, ov,lntip teams.
