Measurements May Read
Like This: 96- 56-96
RALEIGH Within
the next 10 years,
American women may
be bragging about their
96-56-96 measurements.
And consumers may be
buying fruit juice by the
liter and carpeting by
the meter.
It'll be the result
of a changeover from
the English system -of
measuring we now use to
the metric system of
measuring used by most
of the rest of the world.
Our current system
of measuring has had its
drawbacks, point out
extension home econom
ics specialists, North
Carolina State Uni
versity. For example, it's
inconsistent. More than
one unit of measurement
is used for the same
physical quantity.
If you' re buying a rug,
you'll have to change
square feet or square
inches to square yards. If
you're shopping in a
supermarket without unit
pricing, you have to
juggle ounces, quarts and
pints.
A change to the metric
system will mean an
overhaul of our manufac
turing system, the
specialists observe.
KEEP YOUR COOL
Anyone can do it The cor
rect way to fix most leaky
faucets is to replace seats that
are pitted or corroded. Re
placing the washer or redres
sing the old seat is only a
temporary measure.
These seats of surgical stain
less steel were originally de
signed for use in highly alka
line water systems. They are
unconditionally guaranteed
never to corrode, wear out or
need replacement. The one size
fits all conventional faucets,
no matter what make or size.
Universal size washers are
made of Delrin, a tough ma
terial used to make gears.
The kit is designed for the
average man or woman using
ordinary household tools. No
seat extraction tool for your
old seats is needed.
The kit, complete with eight
stainless seats, the washers,
installation tool and illustrated
instructions costs $5.45 post

Road signs, clothes,
packages, prescriptions
all would be affected.
What will happen to
food preparation? Will
you cook by weight or
volume? Will there be
a metric cup, a metric
spoon?
Health and medical
items may alto change.
In the new system, you
may be told to take so
many millimeters of a
prescription a day,
rather than teaspoonsful.
Adapting to this new
system may sound com
plicated, but you're
already doing it. Home
sewing patterns include
metric measurements
along with the English
ones. And some mall
order companies are
involved in the metric
system.
There is much metric
Information on the pro
ducts you find in
the supermarket. You
haven't noticed it yet,
because you haven't felt
a need to use it. But
a lot of products carry
the metric weight in
grams as well as ounces.
It seems inevitable
that the metric system
will come, say the spe
cialists. But it will come
gradually. In fact, there'll prob
ably be about a ten-year
period for conversion.
Poor health is an alibi
more often than a fact.
What will happen to
clothing? Now you buy
clothes either by code
size, such as size 12,
or by actual measure
ments. Hopefully the
metric system will mean
more consistent and
accurate sizing and
labeling, the specialists
state.
Dear Old Golden Rule Days
Every day of the school year, area elementary school stu
dents are stepping out of their classrooms for a day and into
the past at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan to learn
what reading, writing and arithmetic taught to the tune of a
hickory stick was all about.
In the Village's Miller School, a typical 19th-centurjc, one-room
school house, they sit at hand
made wooden desks, do their
lessons on old fashioned slates
and JfeaA from McGuf f ejr Read
ersArf other century-old text
booits. The once-feared hickory
switches are kept in a holder
beside the teacher's desk.
One of nearly 100 authentic,
historic buildings in Greenfield
Village, the school duplicates
a rural school of the 1870s. The
kerosene lamps that line the
walls have been electrified and
the wood-burning stove stands
cold in the middle of the room
since the installation of a mod
ern furnace in the basement,
but they re-create the atmos
phere of a bygone era. Also
authentically out of the past
are the 38-star flag of the per
iod behind the teacher's po
dium and the bucket filled at
the pump in the school yard
for the class to dip their drink
ing water from. As a final
touch, a dunce's cap sits on a
high stool in the corner.
The children actively partic
ipate in this experience of liv
ing a day in the past. With
the help of background mater
ials sent by the Village in ad
vance, they play games pop
ular 100 years ago, they bring
lunches similar to the ones
their ancestors carried and
some of them even dress in
costumes of the period when
their day at Greenfield Village
and the Miller School is over,
the students not only have
learned what schools were like
in great-grandfather's day, but
they also have a greater aware
ness of history and their own
heritage.

Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
I an 19 years old and I'm
pregnant but I don't want the
baby. I'm about IVi months
along and my parents don't
know. I feel they would put
me out of the' house if they
found out. Could I go to the
clinic and get something to
get rid of it? Maybe I could
go to a doctor and get a pres
cription for something. I really
don't want this baby. I'm going
to school now and it would
really ruin everything.
Please give me some advice.
My friend told me to take
some castor oil, but I'm afraid.
Please tell me what to do.
Worried Sick
Dear Worried:
There is nothing you can
take to "get rid" of your baby.
All you could do would be
make yourself , very sick, so
please don't listen to your
freinds and don't take anything.
Abortions are being per
formed at a number of hospi
tals in North Carolina. You
should call the Obsterics &
Gynecology (Ob-Gyn) Depart
ment of the hospital nearest
you to find out if they are
performing abortions ahd the
procedure for getting one.
Please do this immediately
since most hospitals will not
accept women for abortions
who are too far advanced in
the pregnancy. Also, the ear

New liquid measurinc cup
Includes metric units.
Within 10 years it is ex

will be converted to the Inter
national Metric System. Au
thorities agree that the first
step toward switching to met

One way for the homemaker
i. with Foley's new liquid
tiijarir CUP It includes the
customary cup and 'ounce
measurements up to 2 cups
(16 liquid ounces) plus metric
measurements to 500 milli
liters a cook's introduction
to the metric system.
There are six basic units in
the International Metric sys
tem. The unit of length is
meter, mass is gram, volume
is liter, time is second, elec
tric current is ampere, and
temperature is celsius (form
erly called centigrade). All
other units of measurements
are expansions of these six
base units. The entire system
is based on ten and multiples
or submultiples of ten. A milli
liter, the measurement used
for the new Foley measuring
cup, for example, is one
thousandths of a liter. A liter
is a unit slightly larger than a
quart. Five hundred milliliters
measure a little more- than
2 cups, or a little more than
a pint. The new metric
measuring cup is made in clear
plastic with a convenient long
handle and two pouring
spouts. It is available with and
without a juicer that snugly
fits the top.

Love Breakfasts That Are Fun
aMaaET&tiaV?Lm4al H ftHLV - flfl tl
Preparing a well-balanced fun-filled breakfast for little
people can be quick and easy-to-do. For instance, try
mixing several dry cereals in a colorful bowl. Serve with
milk and provide an assortment of dried fruits from which
to choose a topping. Call it crazy-mixed-up cereal! Add a
fruit drink to provide Vitamin C, and you have a quick,
nutritious meal.
The new, frozen concentrate for cranberry orange juice
drink from Ocean Spray is a good choice, or you might like
to try the new frozen concentrates for cranberry apple
drink or cranberry juice cocktail. All three are made from
natural fruit juices fortified with Vitamin C withian av
erage 6-ounce reconstituted serving providing 300 of
the minimum daily adult requirement of this important
vitamin.
The three new concentrated drinks are now available
in the frozen foods cases of local supermarkets. All come
in convenient 6-ounce cans, with Cranorange also avail
able in 12-ounce cans. Just add three cans of cold water
to the concentrates to make 24-ounces of colorful, fresh
tasting fruit drinks.
Plants Generally Late;
Disease Control Urged
Plant production la
getting- off to a generally
late start . on North
Carolina tobacco farms,
focusing attention on the
need for farmers to give
special care to pi ant beds
in order to assure a good
supply of plants.
Furney Todd, exten
sion tobacco disease
specialist at North Caro
lina State University,
said the plants were late
on most farms but
not too late to have
an adequate supply,
"provided steps are
taken to protect them
from diseases."
The primary pi antberi
diseases are blue mold,
anthracnose and damping
off.
Blue mold is an old
disease and has caused
damage to plants since its
appearance in North
Carolina in 1931. In
recent years, growers
have carried out a
preventative control pro
gram that has held the
disease in check. This
plan of control has paid
off and should be
continued, Todd said.
Damping off is caused
by a fungus that is present
in the soil and attacks the
plant at ground level.
Plants turn yellow, wilt
and waste away. Rounded
spots or areas in the bed
site without plants is a
sure sign of this disease.
Anthracnose causes
the formation of spots on
the leaves. An early
attack severely stunts
growth.

Knapsacks, bird cages, wick
er chests, children's wooden
toys and vegetable baskets can
give your tired old bathroom
a lively new look.
Suggestions on how to use
these, plus hundreds of other
easy-to-find materials, are con
tained in a booklet called "130
Economical Easy-to-do Bath
room Decorating Ideas from
Lady Scott." The booklet
points out that it's easy and
inexpensive to give the bath
room a new look without re
placing all the plumbing fix
tures. For example, a camper's
knapsack can be hung on the
wall and used to store surplus
medicine chest supplies, spon
ges, soap or bathroom tissue.
The bird cage makes an ex
cellent container for a hanging
plant. Wicker chests add extra
storage space for towels and
bathroom supplies. Damp face
towels and hand laundry dry
nicely on a rack constructed
from a child's wooden build
ing toy. Different colored soaps
can add splash to bathroom
decor when displayed in wire
vegetable baskets.
Until now almost all the vol
umes written on bathroom de
sign have ignored the home
owner or apartment dweller
who isn't prepared to engage
in a project that requires de
sign expertise andor a gener
ous application of money.
Even though the booklet
makes unusual use of mater
ials, it is void of "cutesy"

orator would know about.

Bunraku, the time-honored tradition of puppetry of Japan, combines the ele
ments of narration, music and puppetry in a unique form of theatrical art.
Accompanied by the samisen, a three-stringed instrument similar to a guitar, the
tayu (or narrator) chants the story which is enacted by half life-sized puppets.
Each puppet is manipulated by three men who work in perfect unison according
to specified rules and forms. Since its origin in the seventh century, Bunraku has
been transformed through numerous refinements to becomewhat a major Amer
ican drama critic has called "one of the artistic wondefs of the world." The
tradition of Japan's puppet theater has been carried to many areas of the world
by the Bunraku tfbupe which regularly appears at the National Theater in Tokyo.
During a rare tour abroad, the troupe will perform in Seattle, San Francisco, Los
Angeles and Midland, Mich, in March, and in Washington D.C. and New York City
in April. V
All three diseases are.
prevented by one method.
This involves spraying or
dusting with any of the
fungicides containing
Ferban, Zineb, Maneb, or
Met i ran. Best results
are obtained when treat
ment application starts
early, when plants are
about the size of a dime,
and repeated twice a week
and continued until trans
planting to the field is
complete. Many growers
have reduced the number
of applications to once a
week with good results.
1 Growers that are
producing plants under
cheesecloth should start
treating beds early and
continue throughout the
plant growing season,
Todd suggested.
The same plan is
suggested for those
producing plants under
nylon, or under plastic
where numerous holes
have been punched.
"According to observa
tions and grower
comments, it may be okay
to delay treatment
application for beds that
are covered with solid
plastic until cover is
removed," the NCSU
specialist said.
But don't get careless
with the three "plantbed
diseases," he cautioned.
"These diseases can
cause serious damage to
plants and could result
in a plant shortage on
many farms. Further
more, a late attack of
blue mold could delay
transplanting one to two
weeks."

Women Live Longer
The weaker sex, some of whoa claim their lot a I
enjoy longer life spans than men even discounting war, in
which many men die.
Insurance company statistics show women live many
years longer than men on the average. The gap seems to be
growing, despite a new trend among many females to kill
themselves earlier sucking cigarettes (which have killed
far more men than women thus far).
Since there are already more women than men in most
age brackets, and since they are living longer and longer
(and thus already control most of the nation's wealth), it
becomes obvious that a little more concern over men's
health, in particular the stress of die American dollar rat
race on males, is in order.
