Here, a home service repre sentative addresses a house full of future homemakcrs. NEW YORK (CFN) - Through the years, a bride's most obvious source of ad vice have been nervous mothers and other close rel atives. Although this has long been the accepted man ner of obtaining homemak ing know-how, it has ob vious limitations. "Today," notes Mrs. Ellen Bridges, home service coun selor for the American Gas Association, Inc. (A.G.A.) "many young women are turn ing to a new source ... the home service department of local gas companies." Mrs. Bridges said that al most every gas company in the nation maintains a highly trained staff of graduate home economists to advise home makers on a variety of ques tions. These representatives are usually available for tele phone counseling, personal calls at home or at company headquarters. In addition, they often speak to women's groups and other clubs. What can the gas company home service representative do for you as a bride-to-be? A great deal! If you are going to buy household equipment for your new home, she can help list the items you will need. With her help, you avoid the risk of duplicating utensils. And, where restricted budgets are involved, she will suggest only those items she knows St. Augustine's College Gets $190,000 Grant RALEIGH—Dr. P. R Robin son, President of St. Augus tine's College, has announnced a grant of $190,000.00 from the Department of Health Edua tion and Welfare to establish a Human Relations Leadership Center at the College. A phase of this program will be a 1967 Summer Institute on School Desegregation for Elementary and Secondary Teachers and Guidance Personnel. This in stitute begins July 3 and ends July 28. The Institute is designed to train school personnel who are presently working in desegre gated school situations, or those who will be assigned to SUCCESSFUL SEWMANSHIP Professional Tips for Sewing Stripes A Symphony of Stripes That's the lashion effect that clever scissoring gives in a sea son when stripes run every which way-on purpose. Gone are the days when ver tical stripes were used solely to create an illusion of slender ness and horizontal stripes were the tall girl's trick for looking shorter. Today's stripes, used in new ways, offer a fresh fashion look -and can turn the simplest shift into a conversation piece. Fashion sewing experts from The Singer Company offer these tips for sewing with stripes: Look at the Pattern Envelope Some patterns are not suit able for sinpes and they say so, right on the envelope. Although the experienced designer can do wonderful things with stripes and complicated cut, the home sewer will find it easier to select patterns with simple lines, and a minimum number of pieces. Plan Carefully If the pattern doesn't match when it is laid out, it certainly won't match when it's sewn. In laying out the pattern, remem ber that the seam line, rather than the cutting line, is what counts. Go by the Stripes Sometimes printed stripes are siigiitiy off giain. When this is the case, place the grain lines of the pattern pieces with the direction of (. or at right angles to) the stripes rather than with the grain of the fabric. Woven stripes are always on grain. Check the Balance To do this, fold the fabric in half, if both halves are the same, the stripe is balanced. If they are not, the stripe is unbal anced (or irregular). When using an unbalanced stripe, cut th* garment out so that the right side is a mirror image of the left. This may necessitate from experience are absolutely necessary. If you and your fiance plan to purchase a range for your kitchen, a home service repre sentative will suggest the one best suited for your home. And, she can show you how to use il to the best advantage. A home economist can help you plan easy to prepare but nutritious and appealing meals. The menus she recom mends will enable you toserve delicious meals even with a _ v " > JB^. ; -* Keeping in step with the time, a graduate home economist dem onstrates the latest features of a new gas range.

In selecting individuals for attendance at the Institute, and in otherwise conducting the in stitute, the selection commit tee and those otherwise con ducting the Institute do not discriminate on account of the sex, race, creed, color or na tional origin of an applicant. Each person participating will receive $75.00 a week and trav el expenses. St. Augustine's College in conjunction with North Caro lina State University, will also operate a school desegregation consulting center. The Center will be located on the St. Au cutting pattern pieces separ ately in opposite directions on the stripes and even adding a center seam, if the pattern is designed to be cut on a fold. Key Cutting To the Dominant Stripe The dominant stripe may be the widest one or the brightest one. Squint at the fabric to see which stripe stands out or which one you prefer. The dom inant stripe is usually used for the center ( divided in a seam, so that it retains its width, or centered if there's no seam ); it is also usually used down the B center of the sleeves (starting at the shoulder mark). It may also be used for the waistband, placket, cuffs, and pockets. In a horizontal stripe, the dominant stripe should be used at the hemline. Let Stripes Suggest Effects Frequently stripes can sug gest effects: a yoke cut on the horizontal, and a skirt cut on the vertical or the horizontal; bias binding used to edge a vertically striped jacket or a horizontally-striped wrap around skirt. The only rule is PLAN, so that stripes look as though they were meant to be where they ate. To match stripes, arrange pattern pieces so that seams at corresponding notches tail on the same stripe. When making a two-piece gar ment with vertical stripes, minimum of cooking experi ence. The trained home service staff of your gas company can help you avoid cooking mishaps, including the curdled sauces and burned pie crusts that e often plague the new bride. If you're wondering about how to get the most for your food dollar, a home service representative can advise you in marketing. A little know how here will cut down on food costs and do away with stor age and spoilage problems. To help you decide on a clothes dryer and washer, gas company staffs can show you various models and instruct you in their use and care. This will allow you to buy a com bination flexible enough to meet the demands of both pres ent and future family needs. Mrs. Bridges emphasized that many gas company home service departments now con duct regular classes for brides. And although home econo mists from local gas compan ies are not expected to replace "mother-daughter tutoring," these experienced profession als can do a great deal to make your first few months as a new homemaker less te dious and definitely less worri some. gustine's campus, but will use faculty personnel from both institutions. The center will perform re search an on pro grams and policies whieß would aid communities, school officials, public officials and students in carrying out racial desegregation in the public schools. The Journal of the American Medical Associalion says, "Tranquilized drivers are drunk drivers, and must be kept off the highways." make sure the center front and back of the top match the cen ter front and back of the skirt or pants. When using horizontal stripes, work upward from the hem. so the fold of the hem of the top is on the same stripe as j the hem of the skirt. Adjust Stripes If, as most do, the pattern calls for a bust dart, match stripes from the hem up—and at the shoulders. If stripes under the arm don't match, it's not too noticeable. For set-in sleeves, match stripes at the front arm hole notch. Pin Fabric When Cutting Double-Thickness When cutting two thicknesses of fabric, make sure that stripes don't shift by pinning the two layers of fabric together every two inches or so. Piece Stripes In a stripe, piecing can be done almost invisibly by making the seam at tile edge of a stripe, lust make sure stripes are in the order in which they're printed or woven. When possi ble, piece in the seam allow ance. Match Up Facings The stripes on a collar should match the stripes of the facing. If the collar is cut on the bias. this is not always possible. Adjust Buttonholes Frequently buttonholes have to be adjusted to stripes. On vertical stripes, they should be aligned on the same stripe. On horizontal stripes, they may need adjustment so that they appear in stripes, rather than at the edge of stripes. Stitch Straight Before stitching, baste piece* together carefully. When stitching, guide fabric through machine slowly enough so that seams are absolutely straight. 3 Shaw Students to Participate In International Living Project RALEIGH—Three riling sen ior* at Shaw University will take part in this year's "Ex periment in International Liv ing—Passport to Understand ing" when they leave the city headed (or three foreign coun tries where they will serve aa Outbound Ambassadors of Goodwill.
