Oct. 3, 1971 DES MOINES SUNDAY REGISTER H-E FOR THE HANDICAPPED Great Cape For Knits Time for the Tables To Be Turned By Patricia Cooney TT'S TIME that the tra-ditional image of able bodied persons DEAR MRS. FARMER: I have finally found one of thos double knits that weighs about 20 ounces that you spoke about in your column and would very much like to make a cape with it. The knit capes I have seen don't hang straight. They are so full and uncomfortable to wear because they never 7 if I lrf A A a 1 stay in place.

Is there a cape pattern that would be suitable for this fabric as well as close fitting for comfort? Mrs. M.H.B. MRS. FARMER SAYS: This year's patterns have turned up one of the most beautiful capes I have seen in many years. It has all the new lines, yet fits dose to the body and would be perfect for the knit you describe.

Since your cape will be unlined because of the weight of the fabric, the top-stitching of all seams, including the collar and front edges, will keep all seams flat, reducing the bulk, as well as adding an attractive detail to your garment.

I feel the armhole slits are positioned perfectly. However, should you need more freedom for your arms, you may always keep the slit open a little higher. If you do this, be sure to remember to cut the extension for the armhole facing a little higher, also. If this is your first attempt with a cape, I can't recommend this one highly enough. The lines are so simple that this will become a classic instead of a fad.

DEAR MRS. FARMER What is a single knit fabric? All I have heard of in the past are double knits. Mrs. T. B.

MRS. FARMER SAYS: Single knits are much lighter weight and haVe returned because of the softness of the new Iowa Winner MRS. VICTOR WILTROCK of Halbur is this week's Tailor Trix pressing board winner for her following sewing suggestion. When you are stitching a sash or belt, or tie that must be turned ajter it has been stitched, sew about 3 inches with the right sides-together. Stop, clip the corners of excess fabric and start pulling the right side out as far as' you have stitched.

As you continue stitching, stop occasionally and continue to pull out the part that has been stitched. When you are finished, the tie will be already turned and ready to press. designs in clothing One of the most common Is the wool jersey which many of you will remember from years ago. You will find the single knits in the matte Jerseys, and they can appear in wool, polyester silk, or any other combination of fibers. They are usually made in an uncon-structed manner and look best when there is a shirt-type sleeve, blouson waistline, soft and full skirts.

With these garments, it is best to wear a slip. If you want to line them use a separate tube type lining that is only attached at the waistline, armhole, or neckline depending on the design. 'All About Sleeves9 Set-in sleeves take perhaps more skill than any other operation in dressmaking. Eunice Farmer's booklet "All About Sleeves" gives detailed instructions on how to make professional looking sleeves. To obtain your booklet send 10 cents and a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request for it to Eunice Farmer in care of The Des Moines Sunday Register.

according to Loretta and she's anxious to get on the giving side. Mrs. Eva Hagen of Slater is deaf but listened to every It's Never the handicapped get involved in the volunteer field. Too long have the handicapped been on the receiving end. They "take, take, take and seldom if ever "give" anything themselves.

These seemingly harsh words came from an Iowa accountant, from a Minnesota city council president, from an Omaha bookkeeper, from a Slater housewife and from some others. All are severely handicapped persons themselves. They met in Des Moines recently at Hotel Fort Des Moines to tackle the challenging subject of "The Handicapped as Volunteers." The Des Moines session was one of several across the U.S. as part of a national "Volunteers in Rehabilitation" research project sponsored by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and by Goodwill Industries. Also attending the meeting, along with the handicapped persons, were Mrs.

Rex Roupe of Des Moines, full-time volunteer chairman of the project, and Stanley Levin of Baltimore, the project director. Purpose of this three-year project is to study the use, recruitment and training of volunteers in rehabilitation facilities. ACCORDING to Mrs. Evelyne Villines, executive secretary of the Iowa Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, and a polio victim herself, "A handicapped person in the process of rehabilitation might relate better to me because he would know I've been there." Mrs. Villines, who chaired the informal sessions here, pointed out that it is a case of rehabilitating an entire life, not just the body.

"You need persons who really understand and care," she explained. The handicapped at the meeting related many personal experiences regarding well-meaning able-bodied volunteers. There were laughs when George Conn, executive secretary for the Illinois Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, recalled how sick and tired he became of sawing wood and making whistle lanyards during his long stay in hospitals following an auto accident. "Never once did anyone ASK us what we wanted to do, or ask what we might do together," said Conn, who also serves as president of Wheelchair Basketball Players. "Able-bodied persons always decided what we would like to do," he added.

TAX Rheinberger, 1V1 president of the city council of Duluth, and chairman of the President's Committee on the Physically Handicapped, saw a tremendous obligation on the part of the handicapped to serve in the volunteer field because "to date we have received so much." Rheinberger, a quadrapleg-ic who in 1968 was named Handicapped American of the Year, owns and operates six companies ranging from an ambulance service to real estate management firm. Loretta Tassin, an accountant with the Iowa State Commerce Commission and also a polio victim, gets around in a motorized wheelchair. Much of what she heard at the session regarding volun-teerism was new to her, as it was to most participants. But she was enthusiastic. It always been take, take, take," Too long have the able-bodied made us more handicapped than we are, says pretty Kay Neill, Omaha bookkeeper.

"We cannot wait to be asked. We must initiate this ourselves." A MYRIAD of areas where the handicapped could volunteer were presented. Handicapped persons could serve as counselors not only for such centers, but in driver education programs for the handicapped. Other suggestions for use of handicapped volunteers included assisting in hospital and rehab center patient libraries or promoting a blood bank where handicapped persons who are able could supply blood. Ideas developed at the meetings across the U.S.
