McArthur, pastor of Phoenix Church of the Nazarene at a re cent meeting " of"Medford Woman's Christian Temperanee Union.- In comparing Ruth of the Bible with Frances E. Willard, founder of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union, and whose birthday is commemor ated in February each year, Mr. McArthur said that each willed to -do her best in. the work into which she was led. Each was temperate in all things that were good, which characteristic all Christians should emulate, he said, and each was faithful and true to what she believed to be right. Frances E. Willard's later life testified to the Christian influ ence in her childhood home, for she was aggressive for good while teaching at Northwestern Woman's college, which later be came a part of Northwestern university, during her tenure as dean, the minister-stated. This characteristic asserted itself after Miss Willard resigned from her deanship and went into tem perance work and organized both the national and international Woman's Christian Temperance unions, the speaker said.

New FaKrics and FinisKes Reviewed for Homemaker A review of the many synthetic fabrics now on the market, and their care, has been prepared by Mrs., Joanne Weatherford, home demonstration agent for Jackson county. Mrs. Weatherford wrote as follows: .. This is a day of fast move ment. You really have to be on your toes as a homemaker to keep up with - these many changes in methods, ' materials and equipment. Today you prac tically have to be a chemist to recognize and know what to ex pect from all of these new fabrics. You can't walk into a yardage department or dress shop and feel of some fabric and say it is cotton, silk, or wool. Even they have new finishes or blends that L disguise their former appear ance. You may find cotton polished with a very high sheen, .or maybe embossed with a raised design, inetallicized with gold print, a pressed felt design or nylonized to make it stronger and shed dirt more readily. They are1: made crease-resistant, non shrinkable, shape retaining and fast to colors. With these many new finishes, we have some problems that may develop in laundering. -The polished cotton scorch more readily if too hot an iron is ' used, , the wrinkles formed, in washing may' become permanently set by heat in the permanent finish cottons if they are squeezed too much or rolled up for ironing. They need little ironing and most of these can just be hung to drip-dry. A chlo rine bleach may turn a white embossed cotton yellow. ; Cotton Blends - - We havetcotton blended with some of our ; synthetics such as acetate to make them more lus trous, dacron to give it that fresh as a daisy appearance, and dynel to add warmth and shrinkage control to knitwear. Nylon is our strongest man- made fiber and has been . very easy to launder, but after a pe riod may turn yellow and grey. To keep your nylons white, it is important to' first soak them, in cold water to loosen the dirt. To cut grease dirt on collars of your nylon shirts and blouses, rub a little ..liquid detergent shampoo on the collar' before washing. Nylons should never be washed with other colored clothes if you expect to keep them white. They take on color very readily. Your nylon is very sensitive to sun light an5 will deteriorate and turn yellow over a period ' of time. One hundred per cent orlon and orlon blends and combina tions are the greatly desired qualities of hand and feel, com fort and durability. Orion is a rugged fiber in that it is resis tant to damage - from moths, keeps ..Its" strength and lasting good looks even after long ex posure to sunlight, soot, smoke and acid fumes. It does need a cool iron when pressing and the 100 per cent orlons in the knits has a' great affinity for grasping dirt so may need washing more often. , Dacron Good Dacron, the fiber that gives a "fresh as a daisy" look to fab rics shrugs off wrinkles and creases, even when wet. It washes easily, but like nylon may need a liquid detergent shampoo to cut the grease around collars. Orion and dacron should be soaked in cold water like nylon, to loosen the dirt. ' . Dynel is most amenable to blending with other fibers. It gives a fabric that soft, cozy feel and " warmth with light weight. It may appear with cot ton and nylon to give a challis type, orlon and dynel fleece for women's 'coats, or dynel and wool in men's suiting flanneL ' It is very heat sensitive, so never apply the iron directly to the fabric, but always use a press cloth. In napped fabrics, shed ding may take place due to smoothness of fiber. " " ' Vicara Like Wool Vicara is closer in its nature to wool than any other man made fiber. It has the soft, fine feel of cashmere. Vicara mixes well with other fibers and is usually found in blends maybe in cotton shirting, knitwear, up holstery, blankets, or even a high pile knit to imitate yjour furs such as mink and muskrat. It does not shrink or stretch, but may mat when wet. . Acrilan, the new acrylic fiber lends stability, better - pleating S SONOTONE All-Transistor HEARING AID WHAT IS IT? In simple terms the Sonotone transistor Hearing Aid is a very small perfectly engineered in J strument. It is most economical J to operate and easy to wear. The only thing that your friends could possibly notice about it Is the marvelous change in your hearing and your entire per- sonality. C. 839 East 18 Years with Sonotont and easier finishing to fabrics in which it is incorporated. It has strength, easy cleaning qualities and long wear life. .It drapes beautifully and is luxurious in dress crepes . and an excellent blender for many woven and knit fabrics. It washes easily, holds its shape, doesn't shrink, stretch, sag, or droop and needs little or no ironing it is af fected by extreme heat as are all of our synthetics. .. Labels Important There are other new man made fibers coming , to us soon too, and of each one we should ask what are its qualities? How is it .different from our natural fibers? will it wear?. How- do I care for it? - '. " To receive satisfactory re sults from each of these syn thetics, ,we need to study labels before we buy and keep our laundering instructions so that we will know how to take care of each different garment. . It is up to the consumer to de mand a label on information be fore purchasing a new material so that she can know what to ex pect from the fabric. .
