Di xu i iU, 1944 DIXON EVENING TELEGRAPH "KNOW YOUR LABELS" ISV' TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AT CLUB MEETING At Saturday's meeting of the Dixon Woman's club the members were privileged to hear a lecture on Your Labels" by Mrs. Robert Rebb of Chicago, presented by the War Service department of the club. Mrs. Bebb was formerly head of the Home Economics department of the University of North Dakota, and is a member of the Textile, Clothing, and Related Arts Forum of Chicago and a lecturer for the OCD in the Chicago metropolitan area, Mrs. Bebb said her study of labels is a hobby and she has a very interesting collection with which she illustrated her talk.

All labels, Mrs. Bebb said, must show the weight, the name of the product, and the address of the producer. The name is of great importance and tne letters must be large and not deceiving. If there is a standard of identity for the food, a common name, which means a certain established standard, then it is not necessary to list the ingredients, but if not materials to be labeled fully shrunk or pre-shrunk. Since 1941 all linen must be labeled, or in the order of its prc- ut uh uiuer oi us lue- ali the ingredients must be listed dominance, and since the samt on the package in the order of their predominance.

The purchaser should look for the net weight to be sure of buying the best value. Lables have been required by lawr to changed so that they show exactly what is in the product. The wore: is a standard of identity which was doubled October 1. It means the articles so stamped contains thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. The label must measure the vitamins and minerals and must tell what the food will furnish per day for body needs.

All bread is now required by law to be enriched and the labels must so state. They may not all have the label on yet, but will have. In some cases a minimufn standard must he met hs in the case rf butter which must contain 80 of milk fat. Above that, quality differs, the highest scores being 92 and Bacon must now be wrapped in a clear wrapper or one having no red marks on it So there will be no deceit concerning lean meat. In Illinois all eggs must be candled and are sold as fresh eggs for 365 days, after that they are cold storage eggs.

Mrs. Bebb said she was asked to announce in her lectures that if crystals are found in shrimp or crabmeat which will not dissolve in vinegar, this fact should be reported, as they feared the enemy might try to put glass in these products to injure the people. There is no longer any U. S. Prime beef.

It, has been discontinued for the duration. U. S. Choice is the best grade nowr available and it is not quite as good as formerly as it does not hang so long and the steers are not fed so long The other grades, good, commercial, and utility, are just as nourishing but require moist heat in cooking. The grade is stamped on the carcass.

The labels of canned and packaged meat products sold inter-state must show U. S. inspection. A round, year wool must be labeled as to its percentage. Virgin wool is all new wool.

At present carpets and upholstery are exempt. There are ceiling prices on rayon stockings and they are priced according to grades. Since January 1 there must he printed on the stocking the identity of the manufacturer, the guage. the ceiling price at retail and special features. On all sheets, except 200 thread or more, there is a ceiling price.

These are determined by number of threads per inch, 140 to 160 threads being good wearing sheets. The National Consumers' Retail Council have endorsed many labels. The government is working on color fastness as to washing, sun. dry cleaning, etc. Restrictions have been relaxed on small children's clothing but it remains to be seen how' much will be made by manufacturers who can make more money doing something else, Mrs.

Bebb said. Mrs. talk contained much practical information which should be very useful to the members of her audience who were very interested listeners. Breeding the lecture the club enjoyed a piano solo, do lue" by Debussy, played by Miss Marjorie Horner. Mrs.

Adolph Eichler announced that Mrs. Gerald Jones would review the book Tree Grows in by Betty Smith at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday at the Loveland Community House. Mrs.

A. E. Marth acted as chairman of the hostess committee in the absence of Mrs. William -----WANERKA-HEINZ Mrs. Maxine Wanerka, daughter of Mrs- Walter Engstrom of Oregon, and Pfc.

in Ore purple stamp applied direct to gon. The couple was attended by meat indicates wholesomeness. Lt. Hazel Dale and Cpl. David This stamp is grape juice and Dale, who were both home on need not be cut.

off Whole wheat flour is still richer in vitamins and minerals than enriched flour. Ceiling prices depend on the class of store determined by the volume of business. The National Retail Council passes on quality and grades of products. All packages must he labeled with correct information, description, number of pieces, and quality difference. Grades are fancy, choice, or standard Some are labeled standaid and qulity hut wholesome The S.

Grade cn canned vegetables and fruits means they were packed under continuous supervision of the Department of Agriculture inspectors. Textiles are under the Federal Trade Commission. Since 1937 rayon must be labeled and 1938 pure dye or all silk Other materials must be labeled in the order of their predominance. There is a legal background for no longer allowing furlough from their respective posts. Pvt, Heinz came home two weeks ago from 25 months of service in Alaska.

He will leave this week to report at Camp Chaffee, Ark. -----UNITY GUILD Unity Guild members and one guest, Mrs. Sheets, met with Mrs. Maria Staekpole Thursday for a picnic dinner that was enjoyed at noon.
