News Colorado Hou Book About Mental Hospital By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York .- (UPD - Dariel Telfer, Pueblo, Colo., house wife, once fattened the family income by working in a state mental hospital. When her legs gave out, she gave up her $200 a month at tendant's job. It's been three years since Mrs. Telfer turned in her uni form. Today,' partially due to her hospital work, Mrs. Telfer is about to come into "enough money to pay all . the family bills" - with plenty left over. The road to riches com menced when Mrs. Telfer be gan a short story about hos pital life. The short story grew to novel length. Mrs. Telfer; unknown auth or, sent her pounds of pages to a literary agent in New York. In 'three months she" heard the word that flutters a writer's heart 'and pads the bank book: Sold. Lack of Heart The book, "The Caretakers," is fiction, Mrs. Telfer said in an interview. "It is about the lack of heart in mental hos pitals." , Mrs. Telfer, forty-ish, still can't believe that Simon and Schuster will publish her book November 2. She gasps when she mentions that pa- perhack rights have been sold for $90,000. She gasps some more when she tells about movie companies "dickering" over the book;, that means more money. ' Mrs. Telfer is a music teach er by profession. "There's not much opportunity for music teachers in Pueblo," she said. That's why she went to work in a mental hospital, she explained. And when that job didn't go smoothly any more, $1950 03 - . - - M ill U 1 i "U LI I Consoles from $2950 Electrified SINGER nA,n Portables from 3350 - B ' 7 - SP 2-7153 PI n Social sewif e Writes that's why she took to writ ing- The heroine of the book is Millie, an attendant. But Mrs. Telfer, like a pro, points out that "any likeness between me and fictional Millie is purely coincidental." Never Enough Help "M e n t a 1 hospitals," Mrs. Telfer said, "never have enough help. They don't pay enough and the help is tran sient. . ' . ; ' "My book doesn't "end on a happy note. How could it? It is life." Too many within state men- ; tal hospitals, she said, seem to forget that they are taking care of sick people. That is why, she said, many hospitals "seem more like penal institu tions than hospitals." Mrs. Telfer, wife of Forrest Telfer, a chemist, said she's going to "fix it" so her chil dren get most of the income from the book. Her son, Forrest Telfer Jr., is a college student. Her daughter, Mrs. Penny Bru nette, she said, recently mar ried. She is 18. ."When you get right down to it," said Mrs. Telfer, "I sup pose you might say I'm a writer." . While she was waiting to hear about her first book, she turned out one novel-length detective story.. Her third book is in the works. , Manufacturer's Association Gives Tips on Wash-Wears Shopping for : wash.- and wear clothing? Here's advice from the i American Home Laundy Manfuacturers' as sociation on . how to . select good wash-wear garments that can go into washer and dryer at home and come out need ing almost '. no ' ironing touch up. v . Look for garments that con tain high percentages of wash and wear fibers or have been treated with a quality wash wear finish. Some of the fib ers that resist wrinkles well are Acrilan, Nylon, Kodel, Dacron and Orion. In a blend, look for these minimum fiber percentages: 65 . per cent, or more Dacron with cotton, 55 per cent or more Dacron with rayon, 50 per -cent or more Dacron with Orion, 55 per cent or more Orion with wool, 80' per cent or more Orion with cotton, 80 per cent Acril an with cotton, 70 per cent with rayon or wool. Less than this will not give' automatic wash and wear results. ", In resin-finished cottons, found in many different qual ities, it is best to avoid in expensive garments. Buy from reputable stores that guaran tee their merchandise. A fabric that merely laun ders without wrinkles is still not necessarily an" indication of good wash-wear. Garment construction is equally import ant in. affecting how it will Books on North ; Are Reviewed Two non-fiction books on Alaska were reviewed at the meeting of The Wednesday Study club on November 4 at the Girls Community club. Mrs. Edith Swartsley re viewed "Moonlight . at Mid day" by Sally Carrighan who has written a number of ani mal books. The author went to Alaska expecting to stay one .or two years to gather data' on animal and wild life but despite the rigors of the north she became so fascin ated with the country that she stay 10. years. . This was her first book on people and she writes realis tically of the natives whom she describes as friendly and intelligent and of "quiet mind." She never saw a par- eni sinne. a wmu, 3 children are well behaved and there is very little ju venile delinquency. Divorces are a rarity and the author knew of only one during her entire stay. The natives , are generous and share what goods ana foods they have with one an--other, the author reported. During the summer, vege tables grow to maturity in a month or six weeks and are of excellent quality and size. Mrs. George R. Carter told of Robert Marshall s exper iences in the far north in the 1930's as related in his bops "Arctic Wilderness." The author, a Drominent new York lawyer, who also held a degree in forestry, wrote a detailed account of his trips by foot, boat and dogsled into wilderness areas north of the Arctic C irele" exploring, mountain climbing and map ping new territories where no white man had ever trod.

To avoid puckering, look for garments that have a mini mum amount of visible stitch ing. Steel clear of top stitched lapels and ; French . faced seams. A plain seam, over cast, will come .put of the dryer smoother than a-French or flat-fell seam. Don't buy seams, collars, or pockets that are . . puckered - when new; laundering will not . improve this condition. Seams should be generous, especially when alterations are necessary.: It's much easier . to take in than let out a synthetic fabric , Watch to see that all linings and ; interfacings are Wash able. Be sure fabric and its trimming are colorfast." Look for Sanforized garments, to be assured that they mill . not shrink during washing or dry ing. (Sometimes directions to "Drip Dry" are simply a pro tection for a garment manu facturer who has used infers ior materials and short, cuts in construction.) . . , .New dryers' have been de signed to provide ideal tem perature for conditioning the wrinkles ' out of automatic wash and wear clothing. The only caution is to remove gar ments immediately at 'end of drying cycle and place on hangers. Older .dryers will give nearly as good results on low to' medium .tempera ture if you remove garments as soon as tumbling stops. If you have no dryer and must drip dry, . the . garment will generally require more toucti up ironing than when the dry er is used. : Raincoats Come In All Shapes United Press International , Look for a variety of rain coat silhouettes this season. There are rainshirts . shaped like Granny's nightgown, two piece suits, hacking coats, and copies of Parisian gendarmes' capes.
