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

five forward and back strokes

Seasonal care or as needed Sur

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

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

TREATED ? GRAIN IS A KILLER
The U. S. Food and Drug Law Prohibits the Sale, Storage, or Use of
Poison-Treated Hi Grain . . . Furthermore, Mercury Treated Grain
will be seized by the Government under this Rigidly Enforced Law . . .
violators are subject to both fine and imprisonment.
Remember, just one (1) kernel of treated grain contaminates a
truckload or a trainload of clean grain . . . don't Y-O-U be careless!
. . . destroy any leftover treated seed!
We appeal to Y-O-U (as the one who actually knows whether or not
your grain has been treated) to bury all your treated seed left over
from planting-- so that Y-O-U may never be found guilty of mixing
it with grain offered for sale for human or animal consumption, or for
storage.
Please cooperate! . . . remember, Y-O-U will be held responsible for
any poison-treated grain Y-O-U unlawfully deliver to this elevator for
sale, for storage, or for feed.
