Show THE BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Give Your Faded Clothes New And Fresh Colors Easily By Ertta Haley FRONTIER wives had to have a of chemistry and botany as well as time and energy to spend long hours over steaming kettles with muscle straining pe-riods of dipping, and wringing when they wanted to dye fabrics. Today's homemaker needs only to select appropriate colors, then easily and speedily finish the work of dyeing, be it clothing or drapes, spreads, rugs or blankets. Once the nature of the material was a problem in dyeing, but there are now dyes available for all types of fabrics, with the exception of those made from glass or metal. Synthetic as well as natural materi-als can be dyed quickly and with-out worry over results if the sim-plest directions are followed. Color is lovely, and it can make your life brighter if used with dis-cretion. Why not check over ward-robe items some day soon, and at the same time take a look at some of the fabric furnishings in the home? Are they faded? Have you added something to the clothing or furnishings line which now makes the old color less attractive? These are some of the reasons for dyeing, but economy is also an important factor. Some material which has been rendered useless can be put to good use if dyed. Select the dye designed for the type of fabric to be dyed. If you are in doubt as to what the materi-al contains, or if it is a mixture, play safe by using the type. Small articles can be dyed in something as simple as a wash basin or an enameled vessel, while larger articles can be placed in tub or washing machine. New Dye-Col- or Depends Upon Old Color It isn't always necessary to re-- move the old color from materials before dyeing. Let's say that you have a faded yellow dress and want to have one that's green. If blue dye is used, then green will be the result, as yellow and blue give green. Blue and red will make violet, while red and yellow will make orange. Refresh n old wardrobe .... If dresses or items of apparel are simply faded several shades and you want to keep the same color, or restore the color to some-thing like it was when new, simply use the shade closest to the one you already have in the material. If material is not unevenly faded or spotted, the color in a material can be dyed a deeper shade. Can the dark colors be removed? It's not advisable to try to remove the color from a navy blue dress or coat, for example, and try to make it a pastel. Color can be re-moved and a lighter shade used successfully, but to have a pastel requires that the original material be almost white, or streaking may result. Dark colors which you no longer like can be safely dyed black, and the material put to other use. Two kinds of dyes can be mixed together in the solution before dye-ing for interesting effect. Try this on a sample of the material to be dyed before dyeing the whole piece of material. rinsed before doing the actual dye-ing. This is especially true of either clothing or furnishings which have not been used for sometime, as dirt or soap left in clothes may cause uneven dyeing. All buttons, buckles and trim-mings should be removed before dyeing, as you don't know how they're going to behave in the hot water used for a dye-bat- Hems, pleats and linings should also be removed so that the dye can pene-trate the material more thoroughly and evenly. Any materials which are uneven-ly faded or spotted should have their color removed thoroughly be-fore dyeing is attempted. This is an extra step but it's very simple with a color remover. Select agate ware, enameled pans or stainless steel ware for the dye-bat- as other metals may have a dulling effect on the color which you're using. The vessel used should be large enough to enable you to move the article to be dyed without crowding. This freedom of movement insures even color, too. Arm yourself with a wooden spoon or stick so that you can stir the material around easily. This avoids hot water on the hands, and also stain which may be a little difficult to remove. Dissolve Dye In Rot Water Boiling water Is not essential for dyeing at any time with current dyes available, but very hot water is desirable to give the deep colors desired. It's best to use hot tap water In a quart jar for dissolving the dye thoroughly. In this way you can prevent much streaking. In the meantime, warm the vessel which you're going to use for the dye-bat-h, with more hot water. The next step Is to fill the vessel with cold water enough to cover the garment to be dyed as com-pletely as possible. Pour the dye solution from the quart jar Into the water In the large vessel. Now place the garment in the bath, un-folded, and the article will, of course, have been wet since It Is washed and rinsed just before the dyeing. Now heat the vessel with gar-ment and dye, gradually to a point just below boiling for at least 30 minutes. While beating, stir the garment freely with a wooden stick. Then let the article cool in the water, still continuing moving the article. Remove article and rinse In clear cool water until the rinse Is clear. The dyeing is complete, and the article is dried and ironed by dyeing with lovely colon. The prints on printed materials cannot be removed by color re-mover, but a dye-soluti- slightly darker than that used on the print will produce attractive and novel effects. Decide whether you're going to tint or dye your garments. True dyeing produces a fast color, and is recommended for dark or deep colors. Tinting takes less time and is suggested for light colors where the desired color range is tem-porary; this will jusually survive several launderings but with each laundering the color may lighten. Prepare Materials For Dyeing If you've picked out a dress from the closet and have decided to dye it, make certain it's clean and well in accordance with its fabric type. Use Washing Machine ' For Balky Articles Whenever you dye such Items as spreads, drapes, slipcovers or blankets, it's a good idea to put the washing machines to use to avoid handling bulky pieces by hand. The amount of dye Is usually de-termined by the weight of the article. If the weight of the material Is 12 ounces or less, you'll need ap-proximately two ounces of dye. For each additional six ounces of ma-terial, use an ounce of dye. These weights apply to cotton, linen, silk and viscose rayon. For acetate rayon or nylon you'll need slightly more dye, for lighter colors and up to three times these amounts tor the darkest colors. THE READER'S DATE BOOK r There Is Still Plenty of Time To Plan a Local Pancake Day v There Is still plenty of time for your community to plan a Pan- - , cake Day celebration, a centuries-ol- d tradition that is still main-tained in many European communities, and which is gaining popu-larity in this country. The town of Liberal, Kansas, for instance, has received nation-wid- e publicity for the annual Pancake Day race held for the community's housewives. The event is celebrated on the day before Lent each year by millions of people all over the world. The day falls on February 26, 1952. In the United States, Pancake Day is observed by numerous or-ganizations. Celebrations range from community-wid- e Pancake Day fes-tivals, like those staged at Liberal, to suppers conducted by church . groups and service clubs. Pancake Day is the perfect op-portunity for clubs and church groups to earn '7,ipr money for some i worthwhile project. MAIM And its traditional background lends STREET itself toward good, ' FEATURE 'ocal Publicity for - a celebration. But to put Pancake Day on the broadest possible footing, any sponsor will do well to call on other groups to participate in com-mittee work. For a community-wid- e Pancake Day, you will want the ac-tive of all groups, In-cluding those not represented in your membership. may help publicize the affair through cooperative advertising. Here are a few suggestions if you are planning a community Pan-cake Day . . . plan a parade, select a King and Queen, ask your local high school band to provide music for the parade and other activities, and possibly secure a new concrete mixer or mixing truck to emphasize the huge quantity of pancake batter you are going to mix. And be sure, when planning to serve a large number of people, to secure a large centrally located room in which to hold your cele-bration. These suggestions may help to form a frame work for your money-makin- g Pancake Day celebration. The embellishments are yours . . . and yours is the job of laying out an efficient organization of com-mittees to shape the plans. Pancake Day always Is the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. The holiday pancakes had their start as "shriving cakes". At the toll-ing of a bell, housewives in Old England rushed to prepare their pancakes, according to a pre-scribed formula. Then, they flocked to their chnrches to be "shriven", or absolved of their sins. Hence, the last day before Lent became "Shrove Tues-day," then, as the religious sig-nificance dimmed, simply "Pan-cake Day." pin ST 1 ( ( v . " t fi "" it ' The winner of the Pancake Day Race at Liberal last year was Mrs. Emaline Bruce, 20. She was defeated, however, in the International race between Liberal and Olney, England. A Pancake Day celebration can take any one of a number of forms. With pancakes as a general theme, variations are Infinite. Basically, you need only three things for a successful celebration: .(1) Facill- - ties for cooking and serving many pancakes; (2) interesting daytime activities, if yours is a community celebration; (3) a special event in which everyone may participate. Experience has shown that by using volunteer help to make and serve pancakes, an organization will be able to show a nice profit by selling pancakes at 23 cents a plate. This cost may seem nominal, but pancakes are an economical food. Your local Pancake Day cele-bration can be just what you make It. Organising and pub-licizing such an affair calls for unlimited Imagination and a flair for the . fanciful. Local newspaper are always happy to promote an event that means fun for the community. Naturally, when you decide to have a Pancake Day celebration, you will want to work out detailed plans for financing the affair. The easiest way to assure a definite and fixed return is to sell admission tickets before the event. This also has the added advantage of letting you know the number of servings of pancakes required. Bette Renlck, 18, of Liberal, Kansas, was named Miss Pan-cake Day last year by the Jun-ior Chamber of Commerce . which sponsors the celebration In that community. As the religious emphasis on Pan-cake Day dwindled, the day took on the aspects of a --merrymaking holiday. From the custom of flip-ping pancukes to turn them devel-oped the ld Pancake Day Race in Olney, England. Liberal, Kansas, and Olney now match their housewives in an annual Pan-cake Day race. e e World Day of Prayer Friday, February 29 Thousands of communities across the country, home towns and big towns, will observe World Day of Prayer, Friday, February 29. The 65th annual observance, the day Is sponsored by the General Depart-ment of the United Church Women of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. Overseas, women of 91 other coun-tries will join in prayer for lasting peace and strengthening of the bonds of Christian unity. In the home towns of the na-tion. World Day of Prayer Is marked by the ringing of church bells and the closing of many business establishments. Serv-ices are held In churches, hos-pitals and prisons. Special pro-grams have been prepared for children In many of the nation's schools. The traditional offerings are di-vided between the council's divi-sions of Home and Foreign Missions. The Home Missions use the money to provide child care and other so-cial and religious services for agri-cultural migrants, religious educa-tion and social services for Ameri-can Indians and improvement of the Negro ministry in sharecropper areas of the south. Funds allotted to the Division of Foreign Missions are used in this country to aid foreign students and abroad to help support Christian women's colleges, and the produc-tion and distribution of Christian lit-erature all over the world. Publicity wbe Liberal sent, this picture of four entrants for the 1952 race to publications in many parts of the, country. Other tested methods of handling the finances are to charge admis-sion before people are admitted to the eating room. Both of these techniques are good and simplify the financing problem. The cost of the basic Ingredi-ents, Including a pancake ready-mi- x, syrup, sausage and butter Is moderate when 'compared to the profit realized from the af-fair.
