Elizabeth Cowan, designer, displays colorfu! window curtains, table
runner, skirt and apron she made from dyed buriap bags.
Here's a new, exciting and budget-wise use for burlap feed bags.
With a little simple needlework and some all-fabric dyes you can trans-
form them into ai] kinds of colorful clothing and home furnishings.
This newest budget-stretching idea is the resuit of research jointiy
undertaken by the TintcX Home Economics Bureau and the Burlap
Counci). Detailed directions on how to make these "rags-to-riches"
marvels are all summed up in an eight-page illustrated folder written
for these organizations by the designer, Elizabeth Cowan. The articles
pictured above are but a few of her tintexed buriap creations.
To prepare a bag for dyeing, open the seams by pulling the thread
of chain stitching, shake out remaining feed or dust and stttch the raw
edges to prevent raveling. Next, place the buriap in a tub or washing
machine filled with warm soap suds, soak for a couple of hours ar.d
wash to remove printing. The dyeing process is the same as for other
fabrics. You'll find burlap a wonderful fabric of character that's easy
to work with.
The folder, entitled "How to Make Beautiful Articles from Burlap
Bags," is obtainable free from Tintex Home Economics Bureau, 485

tling Co., of Lufkin by Bertha
Bu9by and her son of Houston.

count of the death of Leo Busby,
colored deputy sheriff, of Harris
County, who was kiiled in a
highway accident one mile north
of Alto on Highway 69 on Sep-
i tember 10. He and another deputy,
also colored, had been to Rusk to
} deliver a mentai patient to the
State Hospital there and were en
route back to Houston when the
accident occurred.
The Pepsi-Cola truck of the
Lufkin Company, driven by

to the Martin store on the east
side of the highway had turned
to cross the highway and was
seen by Busby, who was driving
a Ford car. He attempted to miss
the truck end his car left the
highway and turned over on the
edge of the road. He was
killed instantly and his partner
in the car, Alvin Baker, also a
colored deputy sheriff, was slight-
ly injured.
