8 Galesburg Register-Mail, Galesburg, III. Costless and dazzling Accessories Monday, July 25. 1977 free Sleeping bags for the creative their care 'i i I Flowers flirt with fashion this but the romance can come from sprig from an old Easter bonnet transformed into an appealing hair adornment with matching floral earrings. Fashion your own feminine magic with inexpensive flowers from a novelty shop, paper mache fruit, old jewelry, ribbons and shells sewn onto plain combs or glued onto barrettes to create fanciful, inexpensive hair accessories. By ELLIE GROSSMAN NEW YORK (NEA) Let's just keep this between us, because if accessories people ever get wind of it, there'll be the devil to pay.

About those charming little flowers and things you're supposed to stick in your hair to add pizzazz to a summer outfit and legal tender to store cash registers: you can make them, for a song and dance. First, clean out your jewelry box and put aside the rhinestone earring you never found the mate to, the two charms you saved from the bracelet you broke, the brooch that doesn't have a pin on the back, and the "emerald" necklace you bought in Spain, which began to unravel midway across the Atlantic. You're not going to throw any of this out; you're going to glue them, however you like, on some inexpensive combs you bought in the five and dime. Well, you won't glue the necklace onto anything. What you'll do with that is wrap it around your pony tail or around a pigtail which we hear is the chic hairstyle for fall.

Then you'U take a couple of real flowers, or a fake tulip or a few feathers from an old hat, and stick them in the necklace. If you're handy, you can twist a pipe cleaner into a black-eyed Susan and gussy it up with a bit of gingham ribtion. The ribbon? You got it from that small drawer crammed with old buttons, strands of rick rack, loose sequins, lace trimming and pennies and nickels. After putting the loose change in your pocket, tie the rick rack or the lace around the feathers and glue them to a barrettee this time, instead of a comb. As a matter of fact, you can glue buttons onto a barrette, too.

They don't have to be pearlized, metal, or wooden toggles, you realize. There's no law against wearing an old campaign button in your hair, or one that says' 'Smile' or some other philosophical ideology. You can even change them to match your moods. In short, with a little imagination you can not only create some costless, dazzling hair ornaments, you can make room for future broken jewelry, odd buttons, useless pieces of ribbon and pennies and dimes. Collegians Editor's Note: Any information about collegions and their summer jobs would be appreciated.

GalMburg Camping comfort and enjoyment depend largely on having the right gear and giving it proper care. The key is to shop carefully for equipment, especially for sleeping bags which often pose a large investment. Discuss particuldr needs with a dealer and spend time learning various products. For beginners or infrequent it may be wise to rent a bag before buying one. Sleeping bags come in rectangular, tapered or mummy styles and in several sizes.

They are designed for different temperature ranges, from about 40-degrees F. to -20- degrees F. There are washable liners available which provide additional warmth and help keep the bag itself clean. Accent on A quality sleeping bag has two double toggle 2ippers that allow it to be opened both from the top and the bottom for ventilation control. Another feature to look for is a flap covering the zipper which keeps out cold and is comfortable against the sleeper.

The outer shell of a camping sleeping bag is generally a synthetic fiber, water repellent, though not waterproof. Down or polyester are the most popular fill materials. There are bags within bags. The inner bag is insulated with down and the outer with polyester. They may be used separately for warm weather or together for sub-zero protection.

The advantages of polyester fill are that it dries much more Tod ay Engagement Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Pippitt of Ii)ndon Mills announce the engagement of their daughter, Debra Rae, to Jeffrey Kent Stuckel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Stuckel of Kapatee.

This makes it a good choice for etcUrtiofts in wet weather or those thaf include canoeing, rafting and other situations where gear can gel wet. The advantages of down are that it is warmer; has great loft per pound, making it lighter in weight; and better compressibility than manmadcf' fill. These points make down worthwhile for backpacking and comfortable for all uses. All sleeping bags should be kept dry. This is especially important for a down-filled bag, which loses its loft and once soaked takes days to dry out.

Shake and air bags daily while camping. Once home, manufacturers suggest machine or hand washing for both synthetic and down-filled sleeping bags. Read labels for fiber content and care instructions. Generally, dry cleaning is not recommendetS for a synthetic sleeping bag fill since this can seriously damage the loft characteristics. A down bag may be dry cleaned, however.

Sleeping bag manufacturers suggest the use of a tumble type washer with a warm wash, in order to keep the loft intact. Presoak the bag if heavily soiled, then wash. Thotough rinsing is important, notes The Soap and Detergent Association. Machine dry on warm setting. Down may take several cycles to completely dry.

Remove the bag several times during the drying operation. Shake or pat to break up. damp clumps. A couple of clean bath towels in the dryer aids drying and helps break apart clumps of down. To handwash, use the bathtub.

Presoak, wash gently in warm water and rinse thoroughly. Then press out excess water; do not wring. The bag will still be quite wet so lift carefully. Air dry by placing the tiag flat on a meshed surface, such as a yard chaise with plastic webbing. As it dries, gently pull apart damp clumps.

Store a synthetic-filled bag inside a large storage bag in a flat or loosely rolled state. When not in use, store, a down bag loosely in a clean, dry place or in a large breathable storage sack. Down needs air, so never store in a stuff sack. After taking a bag out of storage, shake and fluff it to allow air to circulate throughout the down to develop its maximum loft. With proper care, sleeping bags will last many years to give comfort, warmth and protection for numerous outings.
