First, make a wool press cloth by sewing a piece of wool fabric about 15 inches by 20 inches to a piece of muslin--a mite longer. To avoid shine, always use this wool side down, when pressing wool garments. Wrinkles in the upper part of the sleeve can be removi by folding a bath towel to fit inside the shoulder, then press with a steam iron over your wool press cloth. A fold of paper under the pocket flap will keep the flap from leaving a mark on the coat when pressed. To remove a slight shine, sponge with warm vinegar or ammonia water. Add one table spoon of ane (not both) of these to a quart of water. If this doesn’t do the job, rub the surface gently with double 00 sandpaper. Use a swirling motion. Ron Strasser Word was received that Ron Strasser, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norm Strasser is the recipient of a $1,724 scholarship, from the Oregon State Scholarship, Oregon Educational Grant and Work Study. Ron is in his senior year and is majoring in Art and German. Journal Classifieds Bring Results! FULLER PAINT SALE BOWL FREE THIS SUMMER Over $2,000.00 In FREE Bowling To Be Given Away At Don B.

Sen. Pack wood Sponsors Three Senate Bills Senator Bob Packwood (R- Ore.) has agreed to co-sponsor three more environmental bills with Senator Edmund Muskie (D-Maine). They are; --The National Air Quality Standards Act of 1970, which would amend the Clean Air Act to require the immediate desig nation of all anticipatedairqua lity control regions and to ex tend Federal enforcement authority to intrastate violations of air quality standards; --The Environmental Quality Act of 1970, which would set up an independent agency to consolidate all the environ mental protection programs throughout the Federal govern ment and would monitor the Federal pollution control effort; --The National Water Quality Standards Act of 1970, which would broaden the coverage of the Water Quality Standards Program, toughen the enforce ment of those standards, and double the level of Federal assistance for the construction of treatment facilities. Two of these proposals -- the Air Qua lity Standards Act and the Na - tional Water Quality Standards Act -- have been referred to the Senate Public Works Com mittee for consideration. Sena tors Packwood and Muskie are both members of that com mittee. “I have found almost every one in Washington interested in the pollution problems, but there is little coordination and uni formity,” Pakcwood said. "We definitely need a national com mitment with all efforts at the Federal level coordinated with those at the local levels.’’ I a » I
