Silk NEW YORK (AP) It has been aid that there are five, rather than 'four stages from silk worms to silk. The fifth is, textile designer Franco Scalamandre. His euphonious name has become so synonymous with silk that people assume his family tree is pure American mulberry; whereas, ho came here with what proved to be a silk purse in 1924 from Naples, where he was born. In 40 years, he hasn't lost a minute In trying to cover the best of America in silk. The fabric is in most of the hundreds of American restorations he has done, in important public-owned buildings and in average homes.

Scalamandre's silks range from Bourette and silk and cotton damasks used by Main Street housewives to the dramatic red silk used on the walls of the Red Room Jn the White House. The fabrics fer that room were made on the loom with 1,000 threads to the warp per inch, 250 picks in the filling. The loom went back and forth 500 times to make one inch of the fabric. His reputation is for silk, but he continues to work with all the natural fibers and some synthetics and he evolved some 4,300 designs. He can't see any miracle fiber ever replacing silk the elegant fiber spun by nature.

"You can make silks for the same price as it costs to produce expensive synthetics," he points out. But he'll use any fiber if there is a good reason. "I bought 5,000 pounds of this for experiment," he says fingering one of these fibers, "but I don't know what to do with it." Then he illustrates one big drawback the fiber stretches as he continues to pull it. Real silk will last hundreds of years, although some fabrics called silk aren't really silk, he says. They are "gum" products that have been used hundreds of years by some Chinese and Japanese.

Scholarship Miss Patricia Oldynski A first-year student at the Hazleton State General Hospital School of Nursing has been awarded a $500 educational scholarship as one of six national winners in the 4-H Food Preservation Program. Patricia Oldynski, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oldynski, RD 3, Catawissa, received the scholarship, donated by the Kerr Glass Manufacturing at the National 4-H Club Congress which she is attending in Chicago this week.

The nursing student has been a member of the Newlin Home Eco nomics 4-H Club for seven years and, this year, holds the presidency of the Columbia County 4-H Council. In her years of club work, the national winner has prepared 117 exhibits and given some 57 demonstrations at local, county, district and state functions. For the last three years she has won blue ribbons in her canning and freezing projects and, in 1966, placed first in the county and district on food preservation demonstrations. Her record shows some 400 quarts and packages of food pre served. Miss Oldynski has served for the past three years as a junior leader in her club.

This year, with her guidance and encouragement, 12 out of the 22 members of her club gave demonstrations at County Demonstration Day and Junior Achievement Show for one of the best club representations at Penn sylvania county fairs. In September, she entered the State General Hospital to begin studies for a career in nursing. Her 4-H club work, she feels, has already prepared her for training; how to cooperate with others, to be patient, and in a practical sense, her work in foods projects has given her a distinct advantage over her classmates in riiptotinc courses.

They have tried to imitate it, unsuccessfully, he says. "The secret lies, not where they see the design, but on the reverse side of the cloth, which is really the right side," he says, The threads that are not bound, float on top, giving it the design.

He has no qualms about giving the secret away. They can't duplicate it anyway, he says, until they learn how to handle the looms. Scalamandre has labored tirelessly to inject period silks into America's restorations. When he began doing the work the first was for Stanton Hall in Natchez, Miss. he was appalled to find that Gothic and Renassiance designs were choices for old homes.

''Is America so old that you can throw out your past before you've begun to grow? There will be nothing lest," he advised the restorers. He is working in the Jacobean period now for some English restorations. The United States has been tempted by contemporary design in fabrics, but the modernist influence is on the wane, he says. Instead, the newest trend is East Indian. Scalamandre's wife, 2 children and 7 grandchildren all have projects on the loom.

He has a museum of textiles and a library. When he came to the United States he had a license to teach architecture and design because he had graduated as an industrial en gineer in Italy. He became an interior designer, and in 1929 launch ed his own fabrics business with a down payment of $5,000 and a $110,000 mortgage, even though "silk damask wouldn't sell in 1929 not at $14 a yard. But I could get that price for a silk and cotton contemporary design a stylized flower with very large leaves."

DEAR ABBY: In reference to the letter about the boy who tore off part of his lip when he ripped off the adhesive tape a teacher had placed over his mouth: As a school teacher I object to your telling the boy's mother to, "Go to school and give the teacher some of YOUR lip." IF a parent ever gave me any of her lip I'd give her a slap across the mouth. If parents don't like the way we discipline their children, why don't they discipline them at home! FELLOW TEACHER DEAR TEACHER: Good ques tion.

However, a teacher has the right to toss a student out of her class only figuratively, that is. A teacher who needs anything other than language to discipline a child, be it a ruler, a dunce cap, or ad hesive tape, is in the wrong pro fession. DEAR ABBY: How important do you think clothes are? I am a 33-year-old woman who has been told many times that if I want to get a man I should pay more attention to the way I dress. I am average looking. Not too fat or too thin, but I've never been clothes-crazy.

I've always dressed neatly and inconspicuously but I never did have much style. I think if a man is going to get interest in a woman, what she wears won't make that much difference. I'd appreciate your opinion. PLAIN JANE DEAR JANE: In this day of competition, "packaging" is important. To quote my friend, Edith Head, winner of seven academy awards for costume designing, and still reigning queen of the fashion world: "All women look alike in the bathtub.

The only chance a woman gets to show her individuality is when she puts her clothes on." I vote with Edith. DEAR ABBY: My husband is 19 and I am 18, and we have been married for 10 unhappy months. The five months we went together he said he loved me, and he acted like it Now I'm not sure. He told me the other night that he's been thinking a lot about his first love.

Is Tcr-MF-is AT ALL CHAIN AND RETAIL MARKETS A He went with her for two years, then she married someone she'd known only a few weeks. I asked him if he would go back to her if he could, and he said, "Yes, but I wouldn't want to break up her marriage." Then he hurt me awiui baa when he said he didn't think he could ever love anybody else like he loved her. Abby, I told him I loved him more than anything in the whole world and I would try my best to make him haDoy. He said. "That's the trouble, you love me too much." I didn know a person could love anybody too much, Abby.

Can they! Please help me. It's so hard to give your love to a man when he has another woman on his mind. UNLOVED DEAR UNLOVED: Your husband is right. You do love him too much. One loves "too much" only when that love is unreciprocated.

Quit begging. Ask your husband if he wants to try to make a go of your marriage. IF he does, he will see a clergyman, or a professional counselor with you. Otherwise, face it. You'll be tied to a little boy who will bui blubbering about his "first love" till the day he dies.
