Show Sew your equipment for mountaineering By Robbie B. Snow kits are available for sleeping bags and tents. A Money Saver with the family sewing .Along machine the home sewer only needs a pair of scissors and a candle to save 40 percent off the retail price of most items by making them at home. The candle comes in handy for the pre-cu- t nylon pieces of fabric which should be seared around the edges. Simply run the fabric edge along (not over) the flame to eliminate raveling or stretching along bias edges. This will form a thin melted edge without altering the dimensions of the fabric," said Carol. For the home sewer who has attempted a downfilled something-or-othe- r in the past, and ended up with the mess all over the house, Carol assures that the new kits have taken care of that problem. packages of down are made with a perforated water soluble poly-vinalcohol film. Just insert the unopened packet that is coded to the proper channel in a the garment. The channel is sewed shut and only then is the packet twisted open with both hands. The broken film disolv.es in water similar to the concept of medicine capsules. So the first time you wash the garment the film disolves. One of the major points in favor of the kits, says Carol, is that the home sewer knows exactly how the garment was made and how well it is put together. Lifestyle Staff Writer Your sewing machine can become an essential part of your outdoor camping equipment, says Carol Crawford, consumer information specialist for a national wax company. Thats right, that old family sewing machine that has sewed up many a prom dress in its time as well as mending countless pairs of jeans can go camping along with the rest of the family. Maybe it wont be set up in the tent, but it can certainly ease the outdoor equipment budget. A mountaineer can sit down at the sewing machine with a complete pre-ckit of fabric, thread, accessories and illustrated instructions and sew up vest to a anything from a down-fille- d tent. Revolutionize Sewing Classes This will surely revolutionize your basic home economics sewing class, said Carol. Beginners male and female will have an exciting first project. My instructors assured me that if you can sew a straight seam you can make outdoor equipment. The kits, distributed by a mountaineering company based in Colorado, begin with ponchos, vests and bike bags. Intermediate ones include booties, parkas, and jackets. Advanced yl People arent buying furniture as they once did By Jason Thomas Writer Chicago HIGH POINT, N.C. The big bosses of the furniture industry are in combined corporate panics. Something has pubhappened to the furniture-buyin- g lic. It is not buying furniture the way it once did. Many of the young furniture buyers are not interested in the bedroom suites that so inspired their mothers and fathers. Instead, they are going to flea markets and secondhand stores and buying (horrors) used Sun-Tim- - Other people, who ace willing to purchase new furniture, do not want entire sets but prefer mixing individual pieces for an eclectic look. They are demanding quality and want that quality at a price. All this has left the furniture industry confused. Twice a year, the big bosses of the furniture industry flock to this rural town in North Carolina to show their new furniture to about 35,000 store owners and employes who find themselves in the center of the Southern-base- d furniture industry looking for the bedroom nightstands and sleep sofas Music to grow plants by By Brenda Woods News York News NEW YORK Hey, you, with the droopy look.

Sound Stimulates On the theory that sound waves stimulate plants and speed up their metabolism rate, Jerry Cammarata, an audiologist, has prepared a record of tonal experiences for plants which he predicts will girate house plants into heroes. Cammarata, who describes himself as a full time man of the house, says the idea for the record came to him as he observed his wifes frustration in trying to maintain healthy house plants. Her dilemma led him to do research in the New York Botanical Gardens, where he unearthed a study on sound stimulation to plants which fascinated him. It struck me as very possible that' the Jerusalem artichoke, as it grows in its bed of soil, is crying out, physiologically, for much needed pure stimulating sound in order to be recognized by the vegetal world as a robust and cultivated plant. Happen to You What happens to a stimulated Jerusalem artichoke may well happen in your very own living room, according to Cammarata, who moves his plants (ranging from an asparagus fern to a gold pothus) into his living room where he then hooked up his audio equipment. . they will be selling to the public in three to six months. Furniture companies tend to be ranging from about $2 family owned million to a few hundred million dollars in sales. It always has been run by a kind of and philosophy. Then the public stopped buying just anything. We had to grow up, said William Richman, president of the Chicago-base- Futorian d So what does this mean to the guy who needs a new couch? First, there will be more upholstered furniture. Upholstering is more simply produced than machined wood pieces. The padded fabric also suffers less damage in shipment than the rigid wood and metal pieces. Inner components, such as springs and even couch and chair frames, are becoming standardized in much the same manner as Buicks and on the same frame. The assembly line will enable a worker to complete a smaller portion of each piece of furniture more efficiently. In the past, many factories assigned a single craftsman to complete an entire upholstered unit. To the consumer, this means there will be more contemporary furniture available at reasonable prices. Richman thinks a couch should cost around $400 and a chair no more than $150 to attract the young buyer away from the stores. The lines will be sleeker and simpler. Some of the old guard may lament that their contests to see who could create the most gingerbread French provincial seem to be over. Or as one sad veteran said: We are being forced out of the 18th Century into the 20th Century. Olds-mobil- Corp. "Economics is where it is at. Richman does not like to throw around figures about the amazing growth of his company during one of the economic disaster periods of furniture history. But another Futorian spokesman said, We have done half a billion dollars in business in the last three years, and Richman expects us to do another half a billion in the next two years. My kind of furniture industry is more like the auto industry-mas- s production, Richman said. It is not a matter of cheapening the product but being efficient. I have five plants in Mississippi and two in North Carolina. The one in Mississippi has 1.2 million square feet, which is the largest upholstery plant under one roof in the world. used-furnitu- 251 South State O The family sewing machine can Children's Center sols Yule tea Friends of the Childrens Center invite volunteers and supporters to a Christmas tea Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Center, 1855 Medical Cl.
