This degree was a- warded to her by Womaii’s Col lege of the University of North Carolina. The title of her thesis was “A Study of the Serviceability of Se lected Dress Fabrics Containing Newer Synthetic Blends.” As is revealed in the following abstract of the thesis, the study was very carefully made and proved to be very interesting; “The study was made to com pare the construction of selected fabrics of synthetic blends, to test the performance of these fab rics under controlled conditions of laundering and dry cleaning, and to study the iradaptability to basic techniques of construction used in home sewing. “Twelve fabrics containing blends or combinations of Orion, nylon. Dacron and Acrilan were used for the study. Each fabric was analyzed to determine the fi ber content, weave, weight, per square yard, thread count, fabric thickness, staple length, filamez’t count, yarn number, denier and twist. “Tests to determine dimension al change, tensile strength, burst ing strength and colorfastness were used to indicate the dur ability of the fabric. The predic tion of the serviceability in con sumer use was determined by tests made after the fabrics has been laundered and dry cleaned under controlled conditions. Tests for serviceability were made on each fabric and data recorded af ter the first, fifth and tenth laundering and dry cleaning. “Eight of the' fabrics selected were made into garments for wear testing to determine the a- daptability to basic techniques cf construction used in sewing. Con struction features of particular interest were to determine the ease with which the excess full ness could be removed, the pey- manecy of the crease-retention properties, and the durability of the seam finishes. Four finishes for plain seams were used on each garment. Reports were kept by the person making the gar ments. Records of the hours worn and number of times laundered or dry cleaned were made by the wearer. “It was found that there were differences in the construction and durability of each fabric. The difference in fiber content and fabric construction were in some cases part of the reason for the great difference in the results of serviceability tests. “Changes in dimensions oc curred in all fabrics after 'laun dering and dry cleaning. Only one fabric showed less than 2.0 per cent dimensional change after 10 treatments. Changes in tensile and bursting strengths occurred after both laundering and dry cleaning. Many variations in strength were found after each (Continued on Page 3) 'ill Walter Dickson, Jr. Information About Medical College Cabinet Busy Making Flans For Week Of Enrichment The Reverend J.
