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
