Tin Cans May Be On Way Out
Chicago -l'PD- The common
tin can soon may be as rare
in the kitchen as a wooden
pickle barrel.
Most large can companies
are studying the possibility of
making cans of aluminum.
One firm (Ecko-Alcoa Con
tainers, Inc.) is producing
rigid aluminum foil contain
ers with transparent tops and
shapes to suit the food.
Another company (Contin
ental Can Company) intro
duced frozen food cook - in
pouches at the National Pack
aging Exposition here, and an
nounced that many more
foods will be available in
these pouches by the year's
end.
The pouches, made of
aluminum, plastic, polyethy
lene and paper combinations,
enable the homemaker to buy
the food, cook it and serve it
without ever opening the container.
"This is just the beginning,"
said F. J. Close, of a third
firm vice president in charge
of sales development (Alumi
num Company of America).
"During 1959, 220 - million
pounds of aluminum should
go into packaging applica
tions," he said. "By 1963, this
should jump to more than
400-million pounds.''
Here are some features of
an aluminum can Close said
the firm is working on:
-The housewife will be able
to "rip the end off the can as
easily as she can strike a
match."
- The can will be light
weight and will keep food or
liquid hot or cold "for a great
length of time."
-Elimination of the solder
ed side-seam will make the
can more pleasing to the eye
and permit all-around print
ing. A major hurdle to the pro-
Plastic mesh balls, designed
to clean china and silver with
out scratching, also are good
for scraping potatoes, carrots,
beets and other root vegetables.
duction of such a can is the
higher cost of aluminum, com
pared to the present tin plate.
But the companies feel the
problem can be overcome, and
that eventually aluminum
will be priced competitively.
Some aluminum cans al
ready are on the market. The
first aluminum pressure can
is expected to be in produc
tion in the six-ounce size by
the end of the year.
Sardines, beer, and two
types of cheese also are being
packed in aluminum cans, said
F. B. Newcomb of another
manufacturer (American
Can).
He predicted that at least
20 per cent of all cans within
the next 10 years would be
aluminum.

Chairs Toured7 ! Freshman
In New Process
Chicago-(UPD-A new method
of upholstering furniture
makes the easy chair as com
fortable for a 100-pound wom
an as for her 185-pound hus
band. The manufacturer of Coun
cil Bluffs, Iowa, pours poly
ether foam plastic cushioning
like a batter into a mold for
a chaise lounge, sofa or chair.
The upholstery fabric is
fused directly to the plastic
foam and becomes as much
a part of the cushioning as
the crust is to a loaf of bread.
The back of a chair or sofa
gives with the weight of the
sitter, supporting the body
comfortably at all points of
contact.
The material is said to be
impervious to cigarette burns
or tears. Just press the hole
together with a plastic glue,
the manufacturer said, and it
"heals" as naturally as a cut
finger.
The fabric comes in a wide
variety of texture, color and
design.
H
Make-up Should
Interpret Face
ert Teaches
Exp
By MARGUERITE DAVIS
United Press International
Chicago (UPD - Make-up
should "interpret" a woman's
face, not mask it, says one ex
pert. Syd Simon, who teaches the
gentle sex how to apply cos
metics for the best results,
said make-up should "bring
the features of the face into
balance."
His pupils are taught to
highlight and shadow the face,
to make the most of good
points and minimize the un
attractive ones.
Simon offers two courses in
make-up. One instructs the
woman in how to pretty-up
for daytime or informal oc
casions. The second includes
coaching on how to achieve
a more exotic appearance for
evenings.
The beauty needs which Si
mon said should be found in
every woman's dresser are:
-Cleansing tissue and cotton-tipped
sticks.
-Cleansing cream or lotion,
i moisture cream, lubricating
cream for very dry skin and
freshener for- oily skin only.
-Foundation cream or lo
tion," powder, - cream rouge,
"two or three eyeshadows be
cause this should match the
lady's dress," three lipsticks
in blue, clear and yellow reds,
blue and black mascara, and
a soft lead pencil in lieu of
an eyebrow pencil.
Simon can work almost any
magic with make-up. He has
camouflaged black eyes and
birthmarks, and during World
War II he made up white
FBI agents as Negroes.
He turned down one pros
pective customer, however, a
i young man who asked to be
made up to look like some
one else, "just anyone else."
Suspicious, Simon pressed the
caller on why he wanted to
shed his identity, and finally
drew the confession that he
planned to stage a hold-up.
Spray cans now hold paint
that is free from lead pig
ments and safe for children's
furniture and toys. The cans
hold 16 ounces of interior or
exterior paints in nine colors.
They dry to the touch in min
utes and to a hard finish overnight.
Wins Trip
To Chicago
Miss Nyla Murray, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Mur
ray, 3734 Crater Lake higb
way, freshman at Oregon state
col'ege in elementary educa
tion, visited her parents dur
ing the holiday season.
Miss Murray, a Delta Delta
Delta sorority pledge, is
known in the valley for her
4-H club work during the past
10 years. In addition to her
college activities this fall Miss
Murray was one of 27 Oregon
4-H club members who re
ceived a trip to Chicago last
November. The local girl
won the grand champion
modeling trophy at the Jack
son County 4-H fair for two
years. Her National 4-H Club
Congress trip to Chicago was
won on her 10 years of club
activities. The Coats and
Clark company was the spon
sor. The Medford girl's costume
which she made as her tenth
year project was a two piece
wool ensemble. The red dress
was styled with empire waist
line and the round neckline
was finished with a wide col
lar. Worn with the dress for
the judging was a black wool
coat with large collar.
While in Chicago the win
ners toured the city, attended
a concert by the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra, visited the
Museum of Science and In
dustry, and the International
Livestock Exposition.
Miss Murray has been ac
tive in sewing, cooking, guide
dogs, dairy and forestry 4-H
club projects in the county.

ANIMAL STAINS
If not given attention quickly,
animal stains are almost impos
sible to remove. First blot and
sponge immediately with a
very weak solution of white
vinegar. This will neutralize the
stain. Sponge again with clear
water. Let us consult with you
on a complete yearly carpet
cleaning plan.
