m m t-l m n I ^’1 U Sij" fn-.-i ATMI Contest Seeks Energy Saving Ideas With Textile Products A nationwide competition to reward suggestions from the general public for ways to use textile products in helping to save the nation’s diminishing energy supply was announced today by the American Textile Manufacturers Institute. ATMI, the national trade association of textile manufac turers, will pay $5.00 for each idea accepted for inclusion in a new consumer handbook on energy saving. The booklet will be distributed free to con sumers in early 1977. Announcement of the public service effort was coincidental to concern being voiced in Washington that colder winter weather than expected could cause regional fuel shortages in various parts of the country. Items to be included in the handbook will be selected for their originality, simplicity, relationship to use of textiles, and the potential amount of energy to be saved. “Textile products have always been recognized for their insulating value in protecting against heat and cold,” accord ing to an ATMI spokesman. “However, some of the truly creative and novel applications have not been popularized as we hope this booklet will do. “It’s possible that as the energy shortage continu^, we’ll see a revival of fashion interest in such items as spats to warm a gentleman’s ankles or perhaps more interest in unususal scarf designs to prevent neck openings in clothing from syphoning off precious body heat.” Advantages of using cloth towels instead of electric hair dryers, ideas for attractive and warmer under and outer wear, more decorative wall coverings with insulating potential, along with new and novel ideas for hand and foot warmers, were listed as potential areas of interest. Directions for making tea and egg cozies were also listed as possible entries, according to ATMI. (For non-tea drinkers, a tea cozy is a cloth jacket for a teapot used to keep tea hot after it is removed from the stove. Cloth egg cozies serve a similar purpose.) ATMI also hopes to inspire potential manufacturers of energy-saving products as well as the energy-consuming public. Although the amount of energy used by the textile industry is relatively small compared to over-all consumption, the textile industry readily acknowledges that the industry and its approximately one million em ployees are highly dependent on an adequate supply of electrical energy and petroleum products. Fuels are used both as process fuel in textile-making and as raw 25-Year Clubs Hold Meeting (Continued From Page One) Attendance prizes were award® POLLY B. BURNETTE DOSS H. BURCH, JR.
