Proper Care Will
Preserve Leather
KG Club Hears Program
Monday, September 25,1972
By JOYCE ROARK
Copley News Service
With the proper care, the
leather in your wardrobe will
stay in good condition and keep
its beautiful appearance.
Have you ever bought a pair
of patent leather shoes and had
them crack?
Patent leather is made by
putting a ura thane coating over
the top of a leather such as
cowhide, calfskin, kidskin or
colt skin. The grain of the
leather should show through
the coating. The better the
grain, the better the quality of
the leather.
The leather is a porous
substance but the coating isn’t.
As the temperature changes
from hot to cold to hot, the
leather expands and contracts.
The coating doesn’t — it cracks
instead. ^
With the proper c*are,
efafckW can be prevented.
Periodically, Wipe patent
leather with an oil especially
made for it or use a little
vinegar and water solution.
Wipe off with a clean cloth,
then dry. You should never use
Vaseline Or grease on patent
leather.
A glace finish on leather is
very shiny and smooth in ap-
pearance. The grain side of the
leather is coated with a solution
of condensed milk and water. A
glass cylinder is used to pound
the solution into the leather.
You should keep leathers
well polished. Use shoe polish
and buff with a soft brush or
cloth.
Some leather garments are
labeled as washable. These
garments should be washed
with mild soap in warm water.
Rinse well. Press between '
towels. Let dry. Finger-stretch
to original size.
Suedes can be brushed with a
stiff brush to remove dust and
loose soil. Stains can be
removed by rubbing it with an
emery board.
Many times suede is com-
bined with other fabrics. These
garments are extremely dif-
ficult to clean. The dyes used
are different. Suede dyes will
“bleed” badly.
If you take a suede or leather
garment to the dry cleaners to
be cleaned, be sure to select a
dry cleaner that specializes in
leathers.
Before a leather or suede
garment can be cleaned, the
lining, trim, buttons, etc., must
be removed. The cleaning
process will remove the color
from the leather. It must be
redyed. After it has dried, the
lining, trim, buttons, etc., are
sewed back on it.
Most of the cost in cleaning
leather is the work involved
removing and resewing the
accessories on garments. If you
remove the “extras” yourself,
you can save quite a bit on your
cleaning bill. Linings can
usually be washed with the rest
of your laundry which will cut
the cost too.
Never wash suede or leather
not labeled washable.

Q. We are converting our
present garage into a family
room. What would you
recommend for a floor
covering that is not too ex-
pensive and is easy to install
and care for?
A. Assuming the floor in the
garage is concrete and on or
below ground level, the choice
is limited to coverings that
resist the effects of moisture
and alkali that might seep
through. That means asphalt
tile, vinyl asbestos, certain
sheet vinyls with special
backing, solid vinyl tile or
rubber. These suggestions are
listed in the order of increasing
cost. Each is comparatively
easy to install. In deciding,
however, keep in mind that
asphalt and to a lesser degree
vinyl asbestos, may crack and
are less resilient. Also you will
need to have the concrete filled
or ground unless the present
surface is quite smooth.
Flooring dealers can advise
you about the most satisfactory
material for your particular
needs and the best way to make
the installation.
Q. I have a small, leaded
glass window with several
panes built into my front door.
When there is a driving rain,
water leaks through the panes.
I have been told that an epoxy
application will stop the leaks.
Gan you give me your com-
ments and some advice?
A. Epoxy may help, but the
real problem is to locate the
exact points of leakage. Water
might be driven into the joint
between the lead and glass,
travel along the joint and then
spill inside some distance
away. I once solved a similar
problem by “rerunning” the
leaded joints at several points
with a small electric soldering
iron, using a damp doth as a
heat sink.
Of course, you must be
certain of the exact location of
the leak prior to starting this
kind of repair and extreme
care must be used to heat the
lead just to the melting point,
no more. I spent some time
cleaning the joints involved to
make sure that all dust and any
other debris had been removed.
The procedure, however, did
stop the leaks. There is risk,
too, of cracking the glass, but
with extreme care this hazard
can be reduced to a minimum.
Q. I have often wondered why
a good grade of blacktop is not
used instead of costly concrete
for slab floors in houses.
Besides being considerably less
expensive, I should think it
would have other advantages
— warmer, softer, easier to
break through, and so forth.
A, Asphaltic concrete is not
practical for foundation floors
for several reasons. It is more
subject to deterioration and not
being as stable or rigid as
concrete, you might see sags in
die floor where it crosses
plumbing trenches or other
uneven soil situations beneath
the floor. Also such a floor does
not meet code requirements,
unless you would pour footings
to support the interior par-
titions of your house, which is
not necessary with a concrete
slab floor. That would be highly
expensive. With the concrete
slab floor, the only footings
usually required are on the
perimeter foundation.
Q. I need help badly. My
children, who are old enough to
know better, found a ball-point
pen and they got ink all over
my pumpkin-colored
Naughahyde couch. I thought
this could be easily cleaned, but
I have tried everything without
results. Can these stains be
removed?
A. On plastic upholstery,
rubbing is recommended for
removing bail-point ink stains.
It is possible the other solutions
you used in trying to remove
the ink may have set the stains.
If the stains will not come off
with alcohol rubbing, I suspect
a new cover may be needed. At
least I know of no other
recommendations.

Auxiliary
To Attend
Meeting
Approximately 25 members
of the Women’s Auxiliary to
Memorial Hospital will be on
hand at a meeting of the Texas
Association of Hospital
Auxiliaries to be held in
Monahans today (Monday).
Key address for the District
II meeting will be presented by
Midland Memorial Hospital
Administrator Wayne E.
Ulrich, who is chairman of the
Texas Hospital Association’s
Council on Hospital
Auxiliaries.
Theme for Texas hospital
auxiliaries this year is “The
Name of the Game is Love
Through Service.” Ulrich’s
speech is around the same
theme with emphasis on
legislative aspects of the
volunteer professional.
He will trace volunteer work
from its early beginnings in the
U. S. to the present, noting the
significant changes which have
evolved through the years.
There are 37,000 volunteers
serving Texas hospitals.
The volunteer image has
changed from “the sweet little
old lady with nothing to do
but deliver patient mail and
flowers” to one of dedicated
and highly trained individuals
working side by side with paid
professionals in virtually every
department in the hospital.
Texas hospital volunteer
professionals contributed over
3,700,000 hours last year. This
equals a full-time work force of
1,770 paid employees.
Hospitals included in
District II include those in
Kermit, Midland, Odessa,
McCamey, Monahans, Rankin,
Fort Stockton, Andrews,
Semirfole, Crane and Pecos.

plants available in so many
colors and varieties.
Mrs. A. H. Brown assisted
Mrs. Bone with the program by
giving cultural directions.
“While the iris,” Mrs. Brown
said, “will stand much abuse,
they respond gratefully to care
and attention. They need to be
planted as soon as rhizones are
received and July through
September planting brings best
results. They are planted very
shallow, about two feet apart
in a sunny, well-drained sweet
garden spot. Leaves of iris
should not be cut down while
they are still green since plant
food is stored in their leaves.”
Mrs. Harry Reid gave points
on garden judging of Tall
Bearded Iris.
Mrs. Reid said: “An iris is
judged by the plant stalk,
flowers and plant individuality.
Proportion is an important
point in judging. Some plants
have apotential of 11 flowers
on a single stem. Placement of
flowers on the stalk, color
brilliance and perfection are
important in judging.”
Club members are planning
to take part in the
Horticultural Division of
Winkler County Fair.
Others present were Mrs.
Joe Scrimshire, Mrs. Leonard

Start The Morning Right
Despite widespread concern about nutrition, many people are
still skipping or skimping on breakfast. The excuses are all fam-
iliar — “I don’t have time,” “I’m trying to lose weight,” or “I’m
just not hungry in the morning.” But nutritional authorities 3
point out that breakfast is a must.
Scientific studies have shown that people who do not eat an-
adequate breakfast have slower reaction times and are not as”
mentally alert as those who do have a good breakfast. In other*
words, your body needs energy and nutrients in the morning '*
to function properly and efficiently.
Breakfast should contain about 25°/o of your daily nutritional*
needs. A bowl of cereal with milk, a glass of juice, toast with J
butter and milk to drink will meet most people’s morning nu-1
tritional needs and supply the energy to keep them going all *
morning long.
Those people who say they are “just not hungry” may be tired *
of the usual breakfast fare. Tempt them with Caramel-Pineapple
Cereal Casserole. This golden brown whole wheat cereal cas-
serole can be made in the time it takes coffee to brew.
