"ACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1948 European Spuds Studied A. E. Mercker, acting chief of the P. and M. A.'s pouto division, ha Just completed a two-month Inspection trip in Europe In looklm over Die potato situation and for eign market poMtblllticx. During thu trip Mercker visited England. Germany. Austria. Spain. Portugal, Fiance, Belgium and The Nether lands. He found a 3-pound weekly po tato ration limit in the United Kingdom, with 5's pounds allowed for children, exiwetant mother, worker In heavy labor and other special worker. It Is Illegal there to feed potatoes to livestock miles thev are unfit for human food. Mercker states that In Germany good need will be used up in April or May. further reducing the upply available for planting. He states that this will cause a reduction In coal production In Mav a miners will quit their work to hunt for potatoes to feed their families. Seed breeders and research work ers In Germany oppose Importation of seed potatoes from the United States partly because German bleeders obtain patents on the varieties that they develop and collect a royalty on each acre planted. Blegest reason, however, is the fact that the 1SM7 program mad use of U. S. table stock widelv ad vertised as seed potatoes with a hieh percentage of disease resulfns He recommends that onlr certified seed should be sent to Europe for planting stock.

To make a wise choice among them is the problem. A study has been mane of various rayon and cotton fabrics for glass curtains. Nylon fabric was not In cluded In this study. The result shows that cottons in general have greater durability and serviceability than rayons of similar construction Fabrics were treated for strength when dry and also when wet. a in laundering Cottons were stronger than rayons when dry. and also when wet rations gamed strength while rayons became we.iker Tests made after laundering showed that cottons had lost less strength In process than rayons. The common household practice Is to dry sheer tailored curtains on stretchers, instead of ironing them A 1 1 fabrics tested, except acetate rayon, lose more strength in stretch ing than m Ironing. The fabrics that change most In color on exposure to light were all cellulate acetate rayons. Nylon tends to break down some what under long exposure to the rays of the sun.

Lab Site Not Chosen Yet WASHINGTON. April 8 i. Members of congress from Wash ington state say they have no In dication yet as to where the pro posed supersonic laboratory may be established. The laboratory, which has been under study for more than a year, must be where there Is ample power and water available. Because of this they believe the Columbia river region of Washington may be chosen for the site. The committee In charge of se lecting the spot has refused to dis close sites being examined. It is reported that the TV A region of the South and the Hoover dam re gion as well as Washington state have been canvassed. A firm of St. Louts engineers made an exhaustive survey. Members of congress say that the committee's report first will go to President Tru man and not be made public until he announces his action upon the recommendations. Some members of the committee say the report may reach the president during April LAZY DRINKERS Ancient Romans drank liquids by holding horn - shaped containers above their heads while they re clined on their stomachs. They caught In their mouths the thin stream of liquid which spurted from the little end of the container. Supply Of New Model Pots And Pans Now In Stocks Houseware departments in local stores now have plenty of kitchen utensils. They are of all shapes, kinds and materiUs. and u may oe a bit puzzling to choose the right one. Which pan will do the Job? Is the pan durable? Is it easy to keep clean? How does it look? Aluminum pans may be of two kmds cast aluminum and stamped aluminum. Cast aluminum is made b pourm the hot metal into molds. This gives a pan with a thick bottom that conducts heat evenly. The sides may be thinner than the bottom, since thick metal is no ad vantaee on the sides. Stamped alu minum is usually all one thickness and is lighter in weight. Either type aluminum pan will be darkened bv certain foods and m-ater. A solution of 2 tablespoons vinegar or cream of tartar in one quart of water will remove this dis coloration. Otherwise, washing in mild soap and water and an occa sional scrubbing with very fine steel wool will keep your aluminum in shape. Stainless steel is m tough alloy that will withstand scratching, rust ing and corrosion. It will not dis color and requires only a soap and water washing, with mild scouring now and then, to remove particles that cannot be loosened by soaking. Newer stainless steel utensils are made to transfer heat quickly and evenly and will hold It This is an improvement over the earlier steel ' utensils, for they often healed with a "hot spot " ' Glass that mill withstand- a direct ' flame is a new development. It will ! absorb and hold heat well, requiring j a minimum amount of fuel. It heats j evenly, and food may be served in the same dishes in which tt s j cooked, thus saving time and dish j washine. ! However, glass does break and ; sudden changes in temperature ; must be avoided. Glassware is easy to clean with soap and water, and harsh scouring should be avoided. Enamelware is a cood conductor of heat and t stain-resistant. It does need care to keep U un. tor the glaze finish w:lt crack and chip i if the utensil boils dry. or receives a ! sharp blow, I Enamelware pans are light weight ! and easv to handle, and with proper i care are very satisfactory.
