Stamp Expert Talks on Color At Club Session Color and the scientific method to determine it and its results in the field of otamps was the subject of the pro gram at the meeting of the Southern Oregon Stamp club held Thursday, February 2. The speaker was Frank Apple gate who has made n detailed study of the subject. He stated that many times the same apparent color is list ed in the stamp catalogues and articles by many different names, such as rose, rose-red, carmine, rose-pink and ' so forth: but if you compare the stamps in question the differ ence in color can not be de termined by the naked eye. Mr. Applegate explained iliat the scientific method of determining color is by pass ing the sun's rays through a prism onto a screen, which shows the hues and shades of all the colors. Quoting from "Color Standards and Nomen clature" by Robert Rldgeway, and "Dictionary of Color" by Maerz and Paul, he stated that there are 72 hues of color. He displayed a large album of 72 pages, each page repre senting one of the hues; each page has 72 squares to repre sent the various shades of each: the album is an adaption from Ridgeway's Color Stand ards, worked out by Mr. Ap plegate. Closing his talk, he recommended that such a color chart should be used by the stamp catalogues and writ- era to scientifically determine the exact color of a stamp On display at the meeting were the stamp collections that were exhibited by the members at the Talent hobby show recently. Mrs. Robert Lowe won the blue ribbon in stamps for her display of "Making Friends With Stamps"; Mrs. Mabel Houch and Mrs. John Shortridge each won a red ribbon for their displays. Mrs. Shortridge displayed "Sea- Life", and Mrs. Houck "Religion"; Mr Clyde Smith was awarded the sweepstake ribbon for the most outstanding display Mrs. Edward Leach showed the club a calendar sent her from the Japanese Postal Service, showing the stamp program for that country Mrs. Leach Is in charge of the Camp White Veteran's Stamp club which meets each Tues day. She has an extensive col lection of Japanese philatelic Items. A new member was accepted into the club, Mrs. Worth Wells: visitors at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. William T. Joftery, Mr. Walter A. TUlcy, and Mrs. Robert Guthrie. The evening closed with a stamp auction conducted by Robert Lowe, and refreshments served by Mrs. Mamie Bloom flcld and Mrs. Milton Schu-hard. Women's News MPPCR - The National Retail Merchants association has what we think is a bright idea. Men believe that washing and cleaning instructions on garments are confusing (which is the understatement of the year) and are trying to work out a method of making them simple and universal. Not long ago a group of trade association executives representing the retailing, textile and garment manufacturing fields went over the problem sumer in washing and cleaning procedures for both the natural and man-made fabrics Edward F. Engle, secretary of the public relations com mittee of NRMA, told the gathering that the answer to the problem is "symbol standardization." He said "Symbols that signify clearly and graphically the proper care and treatment of any fabric could be visibly imprinted on finished articles of merchandise. Others at the session reviewed the problems, pointing out that until the advent of industry had concerned itself principally with the task of determining what particular washing procedure would do the least damage to . the textile fibers. It was known that harsh soaps, bleaches and hot water were not good for silks and woolens, and that certain materials were prone to stains and fading. When the field of textiles need for additional information According to one speaker "The textile industry responded nobly affixing washability tags containing much of the needed information. Soon, the number of tags on garments began to Increase there was one for textile fiber identifica tion, one of textile fiber promotion, one for washability, one for finish, one for the textile the garment manufacturers, now, as many as six or seven other on a simple product, ripped off by the consumer and consigned to the trash basket without any of them being read." Don't stop now. There's more. 1 "To make matters worse, and looking at the' textile garment is made of a number goes to her washing machine and finds settings for linen, cotton, rayon, nylon, silk, acetate, wool and several others. She picks up her iron and finds similar settings. She looks at her garment again and finds it is made of a mixture of some of these fibers and others not mentioned on either the washing machine or the iron." So now, the NRMA is attempting to aid the consumer with symbols similar to those used for road and traffic signs. For instance, a red square might mean "don't wash, dry clean only" while a blue square would mean "machine washable" and a white square "washable by hand." (These are Potpourri's suggestions on whatever you buy this spring.) And of course, as any housewife who does her own washing knows, just because the label says a garment will wash, doesn't mean that everything is clear sailing. Well do we -remember a certain white blouse we bought a couple of years ago. "This material is said the enthusiastic saleslady, an iron to it. Just wash it by hanger and let' it drip dry." Trustingly we took it home. We washed it carefully in mild suds, rinsed it well and hung it on a hanger, dripping, without twisting or squeezing. It dried In a twinkling, but had office, we well know what would have happened. Our co-workers and callers at the editorial desk would have thought we'd lost our bifocals. It was a solid mass of little wrinkles. Fuming, we put-it on the ironing board, hooked up the steam iron, set on "cool" and uneasily put the tip down in a' spot which wouldn't show when it was being worn. Luckily we were so cautious. on that' area it left a bunch size of large peas. ' This tale could go on forever. To make a long story short, we eventually found out ironed with a dry iron temperature doesn t matter so much, but the steam is ruinous. Since the so-called "drip dry" and "wash-and-wear gar ments came on the market Potpourri has bought dozens of them all sorts of garments and fabrics and colors. Exactly one of them a blue-green plaid treated cotton sundress is actually "wash and wear" in the complete sense. It dries Without a single wrinkle and can be worn with no ironing. All the rest must be ironed in some fashion. We're perfectly willing to admit, of course, that most of them iron easily, in only a fraction of the time it formerly took to make a shirt or blouse presentable. We have two or three other thoughts about labels. We wish that the retailers wouldn't tamper with them. Twice in recent years we've purchased garments having two or three labels in them when they-were being tried on in the store. When we examined the garments at home, we found all the labels had been removed. The first time we let it pass. The second time we called the stor and entered a strong protest. No one seemed"4o know who had removed the labels, or why it had been done. Not long ago we bought a blouse. It has a label attached in the customary spot below the center of the collar and it reads "Wash and wear no Iron." Imprinted on the material, directlv above the label, there ate three words. They read "Use cool iron." We mcss-of-wrinkles things. O.S. Camp Fire Girls Okiiu Group The Oklzu group of Camp Fire Girls met January 29. The charm committee passed a "personality counts" ques tionnaire and Postures on Pa rade pamphlet. The service committee then told the group of our next project, which will be to send kits to Korea to help the chil dren with their school, and to supply them with a few neces sities.
