JOHNNIE H. GALLOP
Pvt. Johnnie H. Gallop, son of
Johnnie H. and Dora Gallop of Rural
Route 1, Hertford, N. C., has com
pleted a wheeled-vehicle mechanic
course at the U. S. Army Training
Center, Fort Dix, N. J.
During the course, students were
trained to perform maintenance and
assist in the repair of automotive ve
hides and associated equipment.
They became familiar with the func
tioning of automotive wheeled-vehi
cle components, operating principles
of internal combustion engines, fun
damentals of fuel and electrical sys
tems, and the use of organizational
and test equipment.
He is a 1987 graduate of Perqui
mans County High School, Hertford.
Two states enact
phosphate laws
The legislatures in the states of
North Carolina and Virginia passed
bills in April, 1987 and March, 1987,
? respectively to ban the sale and use
of phosphate laundry detergents for
household use. Both bills become ef
fective January 1, 1988
? Godd laundry practices are always
important but become more critical
when phosphate detergents are not
available. This is particularly true
where water is hard, where a high
concentration of iron in the water is
present and where clay soil contrib
utes to the laundry load. In all in
stances, steps must be taken to en
sure satisfactory results.
Since phosphate-based laundry de
tergents will no longer be available in
North Carolina and Virginia as of
^January 1, 1988, products available in
powder form may contain the build
ers sodium carbonate and sodium sil
icate. Sodium citrate may be found in
^some liquid laundry detergents.
'Other liquids contain no builders, but
are formulated to be less sensitive to
hardness ions.
When water is hard, more deter
?-gent is needed for washing a load of
^clothes Increasing the amount of a
^granular nonphosphate product may
-aid in soil removal, but it will also
increase the amount of precipitant.
The use of a nonprecipitating pack
agea water souener may neiy.
I Iron in water tun cause yellow dis
coloration on fabrics that may
I pear as distinct rust spots or evenly
^distributed over the entire item. A
phosphate product is most effective
in holding the iron in solution so that
the use of a nonprecipitating pack
aged water softener is necessary in
the wash and rinse waters. Chlorine
I bleach may intensify the discolors
'tkm so it should not be used in treat
ing rust stains. In cases where an
;bron condition is too severe, the in
stallation of an iron filter in the water
supply system may be necessary.
When adjustments in laundering
procedures are necessary, here are
some suggestions to help achieve
ad results:

QUALITY ClOTHING
If you live in a hard water area,
you may want to consider the instal
lation of a water softening system to
reduce some of the laundering prob
lems caused by hard water.
Dissolve detergent in wash water
before adding clothes.
Read and follow package direc
tions for all cleaning products, but re
member that the amounts recom
mended are based on moderate
water hardness and average soil and
load sizes. Hard water, very dirty
clothes and large loads require extra
product for good cleaning.
The use of bleach, presoak or de
tergent booster products and pre
wash soil and stain removers aids in
removing stubborn soils and stains.
An increased amount may be nec
essary.
Sort clothes carefully, making sep
arate loads for whites, light colors
and dark colors. To prevent damage
io delicate items, don't wash them
with heavy sturdy clothes. Wash very
dirty clothes separately to keep dirt
from redepositing on less soiled
items.
