ity and home decorator con-
sultant.

plastic housewares and helps
to acquaint the public with
methods Of moulding today's
modern plastic products.
The plastics-making meth
DDS, she explains, are fasci-
mating to women who are
curious about details of the
process.
The raw plastics are put
into the machine, raised to q
high temperature, turned into
a globby mass and forced
into a mold before cooling off.
The process is timed with
the product coming out q
door at the opposite end.
New in the Iona line of
plastics this year are two
colors-parchment and cop
per-introduced to take the
decorative hampers and
wastebaskets out Of the set

fall off, and a step-on con-
tainer that washes out easily
