denim lacks draping capabilities
and retain the same position of
creases in the washer and dryer.
This also contributes to color loss
streaking.
So what if you don’t like the
creases and streaks? They can’t be
eliminated, but you can reduce
them. Turn the garment inside out
for washing if it’s not heavily soiled.
Underload the washer, increase the
water level and shake out the
garment before putting in the dryer.
Another alternative is to buy jeans
made from a polyester-cotton blend.

Stenholm pointed out that now is the

program system ought to look like.
Stenhobn said that the producer
ought to have the ability to buy
insurance to protect himself against
catastrophic loss if be so chooses. If
a producer chooses not to buy
insurance t. d a disaster year
occurs, he r'lould not expect
anybody to bail him out. Stenhobn
said that crop insurance should be
looked at the same as house, car, or
any other kind of insurance.
Stenholm said that the federal
crop insurance program is a good
program that could be better. He
said that the possibility of voluntary
mandatory insurance is being
discussed. If a producer wants to be
in the peanut program, then he must
buy insurance.
Whatever the decision, it will be
passed out of ag committee in
September and will not be there to • be a real political battlefield, but he
feels that it will go Democratic. He
said it will be a one to two point
margin either way, as it will be
extremely close. It is a situation in
which agriculture or any other small
self-interest group could decide the
outcome. It will be a very
competitive race, which is good for
the country.
Stenholm maded the comment
that, “I just love to see the eyes of
the world focused on Texas, don't
you?”
Lady
Bearcat
Volleyball
For 1988
Underway
Last Thursday, the De Leon Lady
Bearcat volleyball teams traveled to
Glen Rose where they were
victorious in all three games. With
28 girls out for play this year, Coach
Dick Senter said that it provided the
opportunity to have three different
teams: freshmen, junior varsity,
and varsity.
The freshmen team had a close
game as they won 15-11, 16-14.
Leading server was Nikki Robinett
who had 22-24 serves and three aces
and leading hitter was Rachel
Aguerro. Having an outstanding
defensive game was Patti Obregon
and Kim Ridens. Joey Robinett was
the leading setter.
In the junior varsity game,
Brenda Richardson, Susie Lopez,
and Charlotte Owen were leading
servers. Richardson had 14-15
serves and three aces, Lopez went
10-11 and had two aces, and Owen
went 10-10. leading hitter was Patti
Burk. Having a good defensive
game was Mindy Harrison,
Rosemary Tovar, and Christina
Howard. The JV Lady Bearcats won
the game 15-8,15-2.
The varsity Lady Bearcats
defeated Glen Rose for the first time
there 15-11,15-8. leading setter was
Holly Senter showing 97 percent
accuracy. leading hitters were
Rachelle Robinett with three kills
and Dawn Mailloux with two kills.
Tammy Vera and Michele Skaggs
played a good defensive game. In
the game there were five leading
servers and they were as follows:
Lacey Wright 7-7, Robinett »-7,
Senter 7-8, Vera 6-7, and Mailloux 10-
12.
How Do You
Like Your Denim?
The dyes used on blends are
different from the dyes used on 100
percent cotton, and are less likely to
fade.
Do you like the faded, streaked
look for your jeans and other denim
clothes? If you do, you can save
some money by purchasing regular
denim cloth or clothes and fading
them yourself.
At least two companies are
marketing products for fading
denim clothing. ‘‘Fast Fade For
Jeans” is made by the Rit
Company. It’s a concentrated pre-
wash product desinged to fade and
soften jeans and denim. The product
claims that it fades and softens
jeans right in the washer without
damage to the fabric.
“Old Blue" is a denim pre-wash
that softens and fades in one
washing. It’s manufactured by
Malco Products, Inc.
Bleaching jeans will weaken the
fibers, so they will not be as strong
and durable as they were before the
bleaching process. Commercial pre-
wash products may also have a
similar effect.
Rubbing wet denim with a pumice
stone or rubbing an emergy board on
seem edges, pockets and other areas
to produce a stonewashed or worn
look also weakens the fabric in those
places.
However, people who like the
faded look will gladly trade
durability for fashion.

an election year would not be
complete without some
campaigning for Gov. Michael
Dukakis and Ms running mate, Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen. Stenholm said that
he and Bentsen did some traveling
together last Wednesday around the
■tote. He said that Dukakis showed
tremendous judgment in balancing
the ticket by picking Bentsen as his
running mate.
As for Dukakis, Stenholm said that
he sees a president that will ba a
buainM* nisnafsr sppraach type
individual to the federal deficit. He
also said that he does not tolerate
dishonesty for those who work for
him and in the government in which
he has oversight. He has been
ruthless in firing those people who
abuse the public's trust.
Stenholm believes that Texas will

The popularity of denim clothing
is a wonderful example of the old
saying that “you can’t please all of
the people all of the time.” For
every person who liked faded denim,
there seems to be another who is
unhappy about creases, streaking or
color loss, said Jill Pronger, County
Extension Agent - Home Economics.
Changes in most denim fabrics are
inevitable because they’re indigo
piece dyed fabrics. The dye is
applied in a heavily concentrated
form so the residuals are mostly on
the surface of the fabric. Friction
with the body, rubbing or
mechanical action during
laundering will dislodge the dye
particles from clothing.
The loss of color will be most
apparent on creases, double seam
thicknesses and edges, since they
