If you know something
about leather garments, you
will know what to expect after
cleaning, says Texas A&M
University Agricultural Ex-
tension Service clothing
specialist Ann V Beard Most
garments are made of skins
taken from various portions of
an animal, and possibly from
five or six different animals.
Even with careful matching,
there is some variance in tex
ture, weight and color These
variations may be accen-
tuated after cleaning. Accord-
ing to Beard, dyes that were
added by the tanner may vary
in color fastness, as will skins
from different parts of the
animal. During cleaning,
spray dyes will be applied to
even these out. This may not
look exactly the same as the
original immersion dyes.
Also, oils that are lost in clean-
ing will be replaced, but it
may not be an exact replica of
your new garment Some skin
imperfections such as scar
tissue, vein marks, wrinkles
and stains may be more no-
ticeable too. Some of these
marks can be likened to the
scratches on old silver — they
just make your garment look
more valuable, she says.

Don’t let small children play near electrical
outlets. A child could easily put a finger or
some object in an outlet when you’re look-
ing away. A wise safety precaution would be
to put safety caps in all wall outlets.

Pleasant Valley
Homemakers plan
for county fair
The Pleasant Valley Exten-
sion Homemakers Club had a
called meeting in the home of
Mrs. Ruth Carlton Friday,
Aug 31. Mrs. Mamie Adams,
club president, was in charge.
The purpose of the meeting
was to make plans for the
club’s part in the Jones County
Fair which will be held in An-
son Sept. 6, 7 and 8. Mrs.
Carlton, Mrs. Adams and Mrs.
Linda Muehlstein discussed
the rules for the exhibits and
asked for volunteers to pro-

the concession stand.
Mrs. Martha Thompson was
a visitor and 13 members were
present.
The first regular meeting
after taking out for the sum-
mer will be Sept 14 with Mrs
Elizabeth McGee
Here are a few other tips on how to live more safely —
electrically:
Never shoot at power lines or the insulators that hold
them. A severed line could cause a dangerous power outage,
and the downed line itself could also be a very serious safety
hazard.
Remember REDDY Supplies the energy —
but only YOU can use if safely!

held by men, but we must not

cess.”

tinued.
If you are a working woman

an active part in your com-
munity as well as to become

political, social, economic and
health events, make plans now

Be extra careful when using power tools.
Always be sure the wiring is adequate for
the job. See to it that there are enough cir-
cuits of the right size, and that all circuits
are grounded. Also, never use electric tools
in the rain or on wet surfaces.

report one birth
and death
Births and deaths just about
equalled out last year in Lov-
ing County
Loving was one of 25 coun-
ties in which no births took
place; however, one birth oc-
curred elsewhere to a Loving
County resident Loving and
Irion Counties each had only
one death within its boun
daries, but another Loving
resident died outside the coun
ty. Irion had 10 deaths among
its residents
Each of the 254 counties in
Texas had at least one death
and one birth among its resi-
dents. Some of the births and
deaths took place in adjoining
counties or elsewhere, per-
haps because of the lack of
hospitals in the counties of
residence, reports the Texas
