It's the look : for all ages! The fabrics may be 100 per cent cotton, or a ij: blend or cotton and man made fibers. You'll be seeing it in all .:: the ready to wear departments, as well as in the fabric S stores. Many natural-looking fabrics are 100 per cent man-made, : with a softer, more natural appearance and feel. Textures also are tending toward the natural look. The i linen-like texture, with slubs and nubs has become important : this spring. Seersucker, fancy piques, and other textures are showing up everywhere. The fun fabrics for spring and summer include woven utility fabrics such as dishcloth and tablecloth checks. Knits include lightweight raschel knits in a wide range of textures and lacy patterns. When buying all fabrics, check the fiber content, and the directions for care. Both are required to be listed on bolt for g your information. If no information is given on permanent : press or durable press finishes, crush a handful of the fabric, : release it, and determine how it resisted wrinkling. If shrinkage information is not given, consider the fiber content and fabric finish. Man-made fibers tend to shrink less than gi natural fibers, and close weaves tend to shrink less than loose knits. Over the counter fabrics should be prepared for cutting by g laundering or dry cleaning in the same manner the finished g: garment will be cleaned. Watch for whites, and brights. Crisp, clean white is a g: runaway color for spring and summer. But along with the whites are black, and super brights with names like peacock g : blue, marigold, and emerald green. The colors, combined g : with the wide array of textures and patterns, as well as new g: j softness of fashions, are making spring '77 a whole new I scenc.and one that will make you want to get to the sewing : machine, says Birdine Tullis. And the gal who sews is really : lucky, for she'll be saving lots of dollars, as well as having : personalized fit and fashion. : Obituary in Heppner, with the Rev. Gus Nikander and the Rev.

Weather influences prices Weather continued the gov erning influence on grain markets for the week ended Mar. 3, according to the USDA's latest Pacific North west market summary. White wheat bids were gen erally 14 cents over Chicago May and producer selling vir tually stopped. Producers con tinue to think in terms of flat prices of $3.00 per bushel or more. Future markets broke sharply due to weather as reflected in cash wheat mar kets. New crop position bids are ranging 2 to 5 cents per bushel over Chicago July-for July August shipment. Hard red winter wheat markets dropped substantial ly on the heels of beneficial rains. Premiums being paid for Northwest Coast desti nations are holding mostly steady. Active domestic demand and limited farm selling and drought conditions persisted in some of the spring wheat growing areas. Export ac tivity off the Pacific North west was fairly good with some business directed back to the U.S. instead of Canada. Dryland farmers are more optimistic while farmers de pending on irrigation are pessimistic with the snow pack at record low. Export activity was moder ately good through February in filling outstanding sales. The Japanese Food Agency brought 26,500 metric tons for May loading. Korea bought 13,000 metric tons for May shipment using Korean For eign Exchange funds and General Sales Management, which carries 12 months' credit. The Philippines bought 25,000 long tons for June de livery. Barley markets closed sharply lower compared with the previous week. Oats markets quoted $1.00 per ton lower.

In view of the regional problem of lack of moisture, it is even more crucial than ever to practice good energy conservation. We urge our members to - Conserve on Heating; Set home thermostats at 68 degrees daytime or lower and at 58 degrees night. Close shades and drapes at night. Eliminate dirty furnace filters. Install better insulation. Install storm windows. Add weatherstripping. We also urge our members to Conserve on Water Usage: Minimize use of hot and cold water. Insulate hot water pipes in unheated spaces. Add shower flow restrictors. let water heater thermostats at 120 degrees. Utilize warm water for laundry. Eliminate leaky faucets. Shut off power to water heater when gone 3 days or more. The prospect of a servere water shortage appears imminent. Once again, we urge your cooperation with a regional need.
