Cotton Gains On Synthetics In Fiber Industry
Score one for David.
Hut Goliath is not out by a
long shot.
In the Biblical story,
David delivered a
knockout punch to
Goliath, a formidable foe.
In cotton country,
David is the cotton
producer and Goliath, the
synthetic fiber industry,
a much larger, better
financed competitor who
wants cotton’s business
Mikey Rocha Marks
Seventh Birthday
Mikey Rocha
celebrated his seventh
birthday Saturday after-
noon with a party given
by his parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Victor Rocha Jr.
hosted the party at their
home at 915 College.
Guests enjoyed clowns,
balloons, playing “Pin
the Tail on the Donkey”
and riding a ferris wheel.
First prize winner was
Steven Haverlah with
Merry Hand and Mikey
Rocha tying for second
place.
Refreshments included
sandwiches, chips, cake,
punch and ice cream
cones.
Mikey received a
“Spider Man” sleeping
blanket from his god-
parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Angelo Resendez.
Special guests included
John, Marian and Iliana
Rocha of Victoria and
Victor and Vicky DeLeon
of Houston.
Others attending were
Steven Haverlah, Jayme
Rocha, his brother,
Merry and Nathan Hand,
Guillermo Saade, Daniel
and Jeff Peters, Sara
Rodriguez, Angela
Rodriguez, Mandy
Lopez, Terry and Cathy
Escamilla, Adam and
Michael Resendez and
Frances Rocha.
However, the cotton
producer is finally
making gains against the
synthetic industry,
helped by his Cotton
Incorporated Research
and Promotion program.
It’s coming at a time,
though, when some
producers who fund
America’s largest “self-
help’ program are
struggling to survive
financially.
"We recognize that the
primary concern to
cotton producers is
restoring profitability,”
said Edwin Gerik of
Whitney. “I know
because I’m a producer
myself," Gerik added.
He is a member of the
Cotton Board, which
administers the Cotton
Incorporated Research
and Promotion Program
“But the fact is that
producers need to know
they are getting a return
on investment from this
program through larger
markets for cotton,” he
added “That’s why I
personally feel that
support of this program
is essential to the long
term profitability of
cotton.”
Cotton’s making gains
in the form of cotton-rich
blends that are in-
creasingly appearing on
retail shelves at the
expense of mostly syn-
thetic apparel items
For example, cotton
use at retail since the
Mid-1970s has had a 56
percent gain overall by
weight in women’s ap-
parel, a 43 percent gain
for cotton in men’s dress
shirts; a doubling of
cotton’s share in men’s
slacks and a 35 percent
increase for cotton in
men’s sports shirts.
C’otton Incorporated
has helped change
consumer attitudes about
cotton by researching,
developing and
promoting higher cotton
blends which have helped
increase consumer
purchases and improving
markets for cotton
When the economic
recovery begins in
earnest, resulting in
increased demand for
textiles, cotton producers
should benefit with even
greater gains for cotton
and to their "bottom
line.”
Indications suggest,
however, that the syn-
thetic fiber industry,
which spent about $370
million compared to the
producers $22.5 million in
research and promotion
last year, is fighting
back
“They’re fighting back
because the increases in
cotton usage in blends
means less business for
the synthetic fiber in-
dustry,” he added.
“That’s good news for
cotton growers.”
He said some synthetic
fiber companies have
launched a drive to
reverse the move toward
higher cotton blends. “A
recent Celanese trade ad
suggests that the use of
more cotton leads to
inferior products, war-
ning against the move
toward higher cotton
blends,” he added.
Score one for the
producer. But the syn-
thetic fiber industry is
not out by a long shot.
The battle continues.
Linen Shower Fetes Kim Wier
Take Precautions When
Removing Spots, Stains
Spots and stains,
they’re all too common
on household furnishings
and carpets, says Bonnie
Piernot, a family
resource management
specialist.
How do you remove
these hindrances from
household items suc-
cessfully?
Using a good spot
removal guide that is
easily accessible and tak-
ing a few precautions
before attempting to
remove stains favors
best results, the
specialist notes.
• Act fast! The faster
you treat the stain, the
milder the remedy need-
ed.
• Blot dry or remove
surface deposits. For
grease stains, sprinkle
thickly with an absorbent
powder; fruit juice and
wine spills should be
covered with salt, and
most other stains can be
rinsed with cold water
• If using a stain
remover, follower
manufacturer’s instruc
tions.
• Use a stain removal
guide for relevant infor
mation on specific stain
and removal procedures
• Once a stain is
treated, dry fabric or
carpet as quickly and
evenly as possible
• Always be cautious
about stains you can’t
identify. If in doubt, con
suit professionals.

Increased Problems
Don't Add Complaints
Even though health problems tend to increase
with age, studies show that physical complaints
don't inspite of the stereotype of older adults
as hypochondriacs.
The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging
found no difference in physical complaints bet-
ween youth, middle-aged and elderly persons,
says Judith Warren, family life education
