Woshing Blankets
Requires Special
Methods

"Oh, no, my good blank e t
shrunk!" This problem is typical
OF many women. But it doesn't
have to be problem if you use
the safe, sane and sure soaking
method, says Mrs. Katie c.
Thomas, Home Demonstration A
gent, Kent County. This method
may be used both in automatic and
regular washers. The a g ia o n
should not be used for blankets,
as the agitator will shrink them,
Mrs. Thomas emphasizes.
Mrs. Thomas also gives the fol-
lowing pointers about blanket
washing:
Set the water control on warm.
Never use hot water to wash blank
cts. The change in water tempera-
ture will cause shrinkage. Fill the
machine and add a low sudsing
detergent. Make sure the deter
gent is dissolved before putting the
blankets in the washer Let the
blankets soak for 10 to Is minutes.
You may wish to turn them over
once or twice, without operating
the machine. Then spin out the
dirty water.
To rinse, refill the machine with
warm water, stopping it, and let
ting the blankets soak for four to
five minutes. Then spin out rinse
water and rinse second time.
Blankets OF combined fibers, such
as cotton, rayon and wool, will not
wash as quickly as all wool. They
may need longer soaking periods.
II the blankets are hung out
doors to dry, hang them over two
lines. The binding may be pressed
with warm iron. If the blankets
need re-fluffing, spread them out
on flat surface and brush them.

The Rev. Albert T. Mollegan,
professor at the Episcopal
Virginia Theological Seminary
in Alexandria, said, The great
bulk OF professionalism would
not oppose a public policy
which aided countries which
were consciously engaged in
programs of population con-
troll" provided certain condl-
tions were met.
The conditions, he said, are
that the aid countries would
have to make contraceptive in
formation and devices available
only at the free choice of indi-
vidual families and that, if the
countries included Catholics in
their population they would
have to give equal emphasis
to perfecting the rhythm

Thomas, professor at st, Louis

population problems and human
fertility. but said he would not
want to enter the question" OF
the Governments role in fl
nancing such research.
He said his church rejected
abortion, sterilization and con-
traception as methods of popu-
latiOn control, but favored rails
ing the marriage age above that
common in many of the under
developed countries.
It's chief reliance for family
planning. he said, was on self

that these traits we're essential

80 far as I know" Mr.. Nun
ley replied, I'VE have not. .
We don't know very much
about fertility control and we
don't know what we would do
If we did have the knowledge.
We don't go around spending
the taxpayers money on re-
search unless we know what
we want it for"
The State Department Off
cial said he did not know
whether "it would be in our
national interest" to offcl
research data on human fer
tihty to other countries with
out being asked. I'VE haven't
been asked" he said.
Sees Funds Refused
Also. Mr. Nunley said. a re-
quest for such research funds
would almost certainly be re-
! jected by Congress. I'VE would
look pretty silly. . The Con-
gress and the American people
are somewhat more interested
in the Department of State
keeping us out of a war than
in conducting research on hu-
man fertility" he said.
The panel discussion was
opened by William E. Moran
dean of the Georgetown Uni.
versity School of Foreign Serv-
ice, who said that both the
underdeveloped countries seek,
ing economic growth and the
United States. furnishing aic

The Indian diplomat said
that his country regards It's

tion, not of foreign aid"
However, he added, the ad-
Vanced Western countries have
research facilities "of special

Countries giving foreign aid, he
said, should not regard popu-

For that reason, the State
