Not All Cryatal ia Lead Cryatal
„ laereBgooa news lor consumers
concerned about uaing crystal
passes or bowls for fear of lead’s
leeching into drinks or food. More
then 90 percent of the crystal pro
duced in the United States is made
without adding any lead.
>'f A widely publicized study about
lead’s leaching into alcoholic bever
agee stored in lead-crystal decant
ers and stemware prompted the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration to
recommend that consumers refrain
from storing food and beverages in
load crystal for extended periods of
time.
Fortunately, most crystal pro
duced in the United States is made
rttthout adding lead. Included
among such “non-lead” crystal items
are glasses, tumblers, bowls, and
pitchers, which may come in con
test with food.
“Just because it’s crystal doesn’t
mean it was made with lead,” says
Stephen K. Zrike, president and
dnuf executive officer of Princess
House, Inc., a Colgate-Palmolive
subsidiary. Prinoess House is a
major domestic supplier and manu
facturer of non-leadcrystal. Its prod
ucts are Sold through home parties
by independent sales consultants.
Prineeso House’s Weston, West Vir
ginia glass facility produces high
end handblown and handcut crys
tal to which no lead is added.
It’s extremely difficult, if not im
possible, to tell by eye whether crys
tal contains lead, Zrike says. How
ever, lead crystal is usually heavier
and hag, a distinctive, bell-like ring
when tapped. Non-lead crystal is
more resistant to scratching and
'discoloring than lead crystal.
The majority of crystal produced
In the United States Is mads with
out adding lead.
In Europe, standards specify that
all product designated as “crystal”
must be made with lead. The United
States has no uniform standard;
any product made of glass may be
called crystal. Crystal sold in the
United States as “lull-lead,” how
ever, must contain at least 24 per
cent lead.
“Since it is so difficult to distin
guish between the two types of crys
:e(, it makes sense for concerned
consumers to follow FDA guidelines
and not store liquids in crystal de
canters and containers,” Zrike says.

Office machines have sb-unk to
the point that executives and sales
people can now bring almost any
type of business equipment on the
rpad with them. Notebook-size
laptop computers, cellular phones,
apd hand-held copiers let traveling
executives and salespeople on-the
go produce documents in their hotel
rooms, make phone calls from their
cars or copy magazine articles while
on an airplane.
The latest addition to the mobile
office is the portable facsimile ma
chine, which is now available in
sixes even smaller than the stan
dprd 8 1/2-by 11-inch documents
that the fax can send and receive.
The world's smallest fax machine,
as certified by the Guinness Book of
Records, is the FAXPF-1 from Ricoh
Cbrportion. It measures just 11 by 7
by 2 inches and is small enough to
fit comfortably inside a briefcase,
backpack, or pocketbook, leaving
plenty of room for other things.
The portable fax machines per
mit you to send and receive faxes at
anylocation; the beach, a hotel room,
even a car. To fax from your car, just
plug into the cigarette lighter for
power, and connect to a cellular
phone. On the beach, the portable
fox can be operated off an attached
bfttery pack, and hooked up with an
"acoustic coupler" to the receiver of
a portable, cellular or pay phone. To
fax to the office from a hotel room,
the portable machines can be plugged
into an AC wall outlet, and connected
to a standard phone jack. Carrying
your own fax machine can be a real
money as well as a time saver, as
hotels often charge as much as five
dollars a page for the use of their fax
RISE TO THE CHAI.I.ENGE
The tough things we have to face
in life are really all to the good. The
people who distinguish themselves in
human life, who rise to big
achievements and experience the
greatest joy are those who take
difficulty as a challenge and do hot let
it deter them.

servants, and he rules them who

machine. An additional benefit is
that a portable fax Can also serve as
a small convenience copier.
For business people on the move,
portable fax machines offer unprec
edented flexibility as well as im
provements in overall productivity.
With a portable fax, executives gain
instant access to tljeir office files—
they just phone their office and re
quest a copy of any document, which
can then be instantly faxed to a car,
hotel or other location. In addition,
sales leads and service calls, also
can be faxed to staff already on the
road, to ensure a quick response.
With the new portable fax ma
chines and other compact mobile
office equipment, Commuters and
traveling business people may soon
be able to get as much work done on
the road as in their office.

Should You Use An Oil Additive?
Moat people think of oil additives
as a thick, gooey substance car own
ers use to improve performance in
their older “oil burning” cars. But,
many updated oil additives are prov
ing beneficial for newer cars as well.
Today’s smaller engines work
harder, run hotter and have tighter
tolerances. While most of today’s
oils have built-in additives to meet
the demands of modem engines, if
used too long these oils can wear out
and become contaminated. In this
case, supplemental additives insure
continued protection by eliminat
ing and preventing power-robbing
engine deposits of varnish, gum and
sludge that build up in your car’s
engine.
If you do not change your own oil,
you can still use supplemental addi
tives. In addition to the one-quart
size, some additives such as
Rislone® engine treatment are now
available in smaller 16-ounce bottles
that you can simply pour into the
crankcase anytime, without danger
You got out of your onglno wlwt
you put into H.
of overfilling.
Also, contrary to some opinions^ ,
many supplemental additives will'
not void your new carwarranty. Read
the label to ensure compatibility. ■
