Home Dry Cleaning
Can Be Dangerous

Never use flammabIe liquids in
dry cleaning. warns Frances Shoff-
ner home demonstration agent in
Sussex County. If you must do dry
cleaning at home, use non-f1amm-
able, non-explosive carbon tetra-
chloride.
Many dry cleaning fluids such as
gasoline, benzine and naptha look
Harmless but are very explosive.
Many hazards are connected with
the practice of dry cleaning at
home. There is no absolutely safe
way to dry clean at home. Nor is
there an absolutely safe dry clean
ing fluid.
Even carbon tetrachloride pro-
duces vapors which are harmful to
breathe, so for safety's sake do all
dry cleaning out doors, Miss Shoff-
ner emphasized. Hang cleaned gar
ments where the air circulates un-
til the garment is thoroughly dry
and most of the odor is gone. Never
hang them near a stove or furnace.
Some persons are allergic to
cleaning fluids and develop a skin
rash, infections and other bad eff
fects after cleaning at home. Use
a plunger to avoid getting the
cleaner on the skin, and use a
minimum of cleaning fluid.
If you make a practice of going
over upholstered furniture and
rugs with spot remover or clean
ing fluid uSe caufion This nrac-
tice can be dangerous unless direc-
tions are carefully followed and
proper precautions are taken.

Social Security News


Q-I have been paying social Sc
curity tax for years. Now that
l am 65 and eligible for bene-
fits, why should / forfeit a
check or checks if / earn over
$1,000 year?
A-Social security benefits are in
tended to replace in part loss
of income due to retirement in
old-age or due to death of a
family breadwinner. If an in
dividual continues to work full
time at his previous earnings
level, it is presumed that there
has been no loss of earnings.
However, the Congress real
lied that there should be some
minimum allowable earnings,
therefore, $1,000 a year was ar
rived at as a reasonable figure.
Q-My wife, children and l cannot
live as we are accustomed on
our social security benefits
plus the $1,000 allowable earn
ings. Why can't l earn any
amount and still get my pay
ments?
A-The social security retirement
plan was never intended to
con mpl e t e ly replace income
earned before tir m n t.
These benefits are an insur-
ance against loss of income due
to retirement, but do not re-
move the responsibility Of pro-
viding for your family's future.
You and your beneficiary are
allowed to earn $1,000 a year
without loss of any monthly
benefit payments. This COM
bined with your benefit checks
should be supplemented, when
ever possible, by investments,
private insurance, company
pensions, savings, home owner
ship, etc.
O. am 65 and insured for social
security. In my business, I do
not know whether my earnings
will be more or less than $1,000
in any year. What should do
about filing a claim for bene-
fits?
A-You should file claim. If you
can reasonably expect to ex-
ceed $1,000, benefits will be
suspended until the end of each
year, at which time you will
file a report of your earnings
and settlement will be made
fr the year rather than on a
mOnth-tO-mOnth basis,

Mildew Control
And Removal

A common discovery in many
Delaware homes during this wet,
warm weather is mildew. 1t will
grow on just about anything. Cloth
ing is particularly susceptible to
mildew and will weaken and even
fall apart if not treated in time.
To successfully remove and con-
troll mildew, Miss Patricia A. Mid
dleton, home management special
ist with the Extension Service, I'm
iversity of Delaware, offers these
tips.
For clothing, remove miIdew
spots as soon as you discover them.
Brush the cloth outdoors so you
will not spread the mold spores in
the house, she warned.
Sun and air the fabric and treat
the spots with soap and water if
the garment is washable, otherwise
have it cleaned. If soap and water
does not take out the stain, moist
en- with lemon juice and salt
mixture and dry in the sun. Then
rinse thoroughly with water. Test
colored materials in an inconspic-
uous area for color fastness before
using this treatment, Miss Middle
ton warned.
On leather. a cloth moistened in
diluted alcohol Zone cup denatur-
ed alcohol to one cup Water) will
wipe away the mildew. Polishing
shoes and luggage with a good wax
will help keep mildew from start
ing.
In general, air, sun, and soap
suds will control mildew on lea
ther, rugs and upholstered furni-
ture she said.
HOmemakers can do several
things to keep mildew from start
ing. Air and dry rooms, closets
and clothing as well as possible.
During hot, wet periods it may be
necessary to heat the house for a
short time, then open doors and
windows and force the warmed air
with a fan.
A small electric light kept burn
ing in a closet will stop miIdew if
the space is not to large, Miss Mid
dleton said.
Silica gel, chemical that takes
up moisture, can be used in closets
or storage areas. 1t can be renewed
by drying in the oven when it turns
from blue to pink. Silica gel will
soak up half it's own weight in
water.
Air the house only when outside
air is cooler than inside air. When
air will condense leaving more
moisture in than it will take out.
Cool air will absorb moisture as it
is warmed inside the house.

Increase Predicted
In Imperial Sales

The Chrysler and Imperial Di-
vision expects an increase of at
least so per cent in the sale of I'm
perial automobiles during the 1860
model-year over 1859.
This was disclosed today at a
news conference by c. E. Briggs,
Corporation vice president and gen.
eral manger of the Division.
He said initial production sched-
ules at the Imperial plant are up
40 per cent over a year ago. Chrys-
Ter production schedules for 1860
model cars are up 80 per cent over
a year ago.
''The Imperial plant is now pro-
ducing about 100 cars per day and
is expected to be producing about
Is cars day by next week." Mr..
Briggs said
Chrysler production, just getting
under way, is scheduled to reach
ass cars a day by the end of Sep
tember.
Imperial will be the first Chrys-
Ter Corporation car to be intro
duced to the public. he said.
Mr.. Briggs said the larger pro-
duction schedules reflect the COM
pany's conviction that 1860 will be
an exceptionally good year for cars
in the Chrysler and Imperial price
classes, as well as for smaller cars.
"We are confident that 1860 will
be far better than average sales
year for many luxury products, >
he said, "and that fine automobiles
will claim their traditional share
of purchasing power.
'We do not find any evidence in
our surveys indicating that aus
terity is becoming the rule in mot
oring.
Far from it. We find that our
customers, month after month and
year after year, are asking foI
for more options on Imperial cars
as well as scores of other luxury
features"
Mr.. Briggs said that the future
of the fine car field depends upon
manufacturers continually introdu-
cling luxury, safety and comfort
features which are not usually
found on lower priced cars.
He said that electroluminescen
lighting, to be used for the first
time in automobiles on the 1866
Imperial and Chrysler instrument
panels, is luxury car innovation
1t eliminates glare in drivers eyes
lasts 10 times longer, and is more
beautiful than conventional in
candescent light. 1t is exclusive on
the Divisions 1860 products.
Such other features as all-wool
broadclOth interiors, more leg and
head room for comfort, reasonator-
mufflers, thicker foam in seats, and
Chrysler's e clu sive Auto-Pilot
make fine cars the desire of mill
ions," he said. Without revealing
other features of 1860 products, Mr.
Briggs said the public could ex-
pect far more exclusive features in
fine cars in the future.
Mr.. Briggs said he had just re-
ceived orders from 23 Omaha resi-
dents for as many 1860 Imperials
sight unseen" These same men
owned Imperials last year and have
given a blanket recorder this wear
without even seeing the product.
This is just one of many tributes
we have received on the quality OF
our Imperial cars" he said.
The 1860 Imperial, ChrysIer
Plymouth and Valiant cars will be
preveiwed for dealers in a series
of five meetings beginning Septem-
Der Fl in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meet
ings will also be held in Kiamisha
Lake, N. Y, Detroit, Augusta, Ca,
and Kansas City, Mo.
