MIRROR
MEDITATION
By EMMITT L. BRINSON
We should not look upon our
world as aging, wasting, worn or
torn. But one that Is forever
now, modern and beautiful. A
constant presence exists. An
awareness that is now.
That which is past. Is mem
ory. That which Is tomorrow
Is anticipation, future andhope.
With each rising sun there is a
new beginning, a renewed birth
of freshness, beauty and chal
lenge.
We must not look at yester
day and promise and opportun
ity. That which is yet to come.
That which is yet to be. The
ideas, ideals, the inspirations
as yet unborn.
That which will forever make
our world young and crisp, and
fresh and new. Each day we
step into another advance.
Fridts of yesterday's dreams,
today's anxieties, and fulfill
ment.
Somehow I believe man's ap
proach to age is but a beau

Ing him for another step of
God's infinite creative pro
gress. Ushering him into an
unending, ever progressive
higher level of intelligence and
truth. Man shall forever rise.
We should not look at life's
tomorrows as another day near
er the end. But another step,
another day advanced toward
the new beginning. For one day
we shall step into that other
world beyond the curtain of
darkness. Into a shining new
light and ad advanced under
standing beyond our present
comprehension. There to find
new freedom and God with
greater, more superb crea
tions.
More Interesting, more in
viting, more inspiring, more
rewarding. New dreams to
dream, new things to plan, new
ideals, new worlds to discover,
new ideals to pursue, new im
possibilities to conquer. New
obstacles to subdue.
Ah, yes, this has been man's
destiny for continuity and per-
petuality since the beginning of
time. God's evolution of man
kind has been beautiful and won
derful indeed.
The knowledge and truths of
the ever progressive creative
laws, made more aware to us
daily by our most Iminent scien
tists, proves that the mysteries
of life are too deeply and In
telligently designed for its flow
to end with man’s death.
God would not allow it to stop
here, and destroy man forever,
when he has just become ac
quainted with his inner self.
The knowledge, the intellect,
the balance, the judgment, and
the Insight of mind and soul,
that only years of learning and
living can yield.
It thereby must be the ulti
mate of essence of life on this
earth, and a turning point is
reached. Once again a re
birth is necessary, and man
erupts to a higher plateau un
til eventually he evolves or re
turns from whence he came.
“Next to God,” was this part
of what that great teacher meant
in his talks to NIcodemus as
recorded in the third chapter of
John, especially the 13th verse?
I wonder. . .

The answers to common
questions about permanent
press:
1. What is permanent press?
Generally a blend of cotton
and man-made (polyester)
which Is treated with a special
finish. After the garment is
made, It Is cured. The curing
process sets the shape so the
entire garment is wrinkle-re
sistant, creases and pleats stay
neat and sharp. If dried in a
dryer, the garment continues
to return to its original shape.
2. Does the permanent press
treatment wear off? No. No mat
ter how many times you laund
er the item, the shape-setting
process will maintain the “just
ironed” look after tumble dry
ing.
3. Does the permanent press
process affect soil removal?
No. There is no difference be
tween permanent press and
other garments of comparable
fiber content. However, re
member oily soils are more
easily removed from cotton than
from some man-made fibers;
man-made fibers generally give
up non-oily soil more readily
than cf)tton.
4. Does permanent press re
quire new laundry techniques?
Any fabric with a blend of man
made fibers should be checked
closely for grease marks or oily
stains before being added to tlie
washer. These stains should be
pretreated.
Automatic pre-wash and soak
cycles on certain washers now
eliminate the necessity of hand
pretreating. Not only does the
availability of pre-wash and
soak ease the laundering of
permanent press, but it has been
found effective in removing 22 of
the common food stains without
prior hand treatment.
5. Does permiment press
affect stiiln removal? No. The
st:iining characteristics are the
same for permanent press gar
ments as for other articles
of the same fiber content.
Follow instructions in any stain
removal chart for proper stain
removal.
6. Can you bleach permanent
press garments? Chlorine
bleach may be used unless the
garment manufacturer specifi
cally states otherwise. Keep in
mind that bleaching may affect
color adversely. Oxygen-based
bleaches may be used on any
fabric or color.
7. What is the difference be
tween permanent press, durable
press and wash and wear? Per
manent press (durable press)
is a more recent development.
It greatly improved wash and
wear. What wash and wear pro
mised, permanent press
achieves. While earlier wash
and wear took the work out of
ironing, permanent press, when
tumble dried, makes ironing a
thing of the past.
There was a wide variation
in the performance of many
wash and wear garments.
Although the FABRIC used may
have had uniformly good
wrinkle-free characteristics,
many times the garment did not
perform as expected. This was
often due to the construction,
or to a poor choice of inter-
linings, linings, zippers, but
tons, and trim.
Closer co-operation in the
textile industry indicates that
there is a lesser chance of
these problems being encount
ered today.
The average homemaker's
experience with early wash and
wear could have been f?r more
favorable had the garment man
ufacturer at that time recog
nized the vital rule played by an
automatic dryer in Uie launder
ing process.
Manufacturers of permanent
press articles strongly recom
mend the use of an automatic
dryer since this is one of the
factors which makes no ironing
a reality.
8. Can you remove wrinkles
from permanent press articles?
Permanent press garments that
have been packed, stored, or
worn can be refreshed in a dry
er. Select the permanent press
setting and tumble dry for ap
proximately 15 minutes. Re
move Hems immediately and
hang on hangers.
9. Can uniform results be ex
pected from all permanent
press? No. There Is variation
among permanent press gar
ments . Purchase the products of
a quality manufacturer. Fiber
content, processing techniques,
choice of other materials used,
even chemicals used create
variables In performance. A
brand established as a quality
product is usually the surest
approach to satisfactory dur
ability and performance.
10. Can you really eliminate
all need to hand iron? Yes,
tumble dry permanent press
items in a dryer!
