Home Arts Club Starts Sewing Class
Preliminary arrangements for
a sewing class to be taught in
Nome are being made by Mrs.
Suzy Hermann and Mrs. Martha
j Craft. The classes are being
set up by the Home Arts Club
but anyone may attend. The in
structor will be Mrs. Jean K.
Burand of the University of
Alaska Extension Service. All
interested women are invited to
attend—a meeting to iron out
final arrangements will be an
nounced soon in the Nugget.
Probably both beginning and in
termediate sewing will be taught.
It is likely that there will be
no fee unless it is necessary to
pay rent, utilities, etc. on the
space used. A meeting place has
not yet been secured. Such a
fee, if any, will be nominal and
will be used to cover only mater
ials, utilities, etc. used by the
class. Mrs. Burand’s salary will
be paid by the Extension Service’
for this work as well as for other
such activities on the Seward
Peninsula this summer.
One of the first problems for
prospective members of the class
is the selection of a pattern of
the proper size. Mrs. Burand
asks that you do not bpy a size
16 of this-or-that pattern com
pany “because I’ve always worn a
16”. Please buy a new pattern
of the size determined by your
own measurements. Remember,
there is no dependable relationship
between the sizing for patterns
and the sizing for ready to wear.
Patterns have been standardized,
ready to wear has not. Take
your measurements, don’t take a
guess.
These requests are made in or
der that each of you may secure
the utmost satisfaction from the
garments you will construct.
The law establishing standardized
pattern measures assures us that
a size 16 misses will require the
same changes to fit the individual
figure, no matter what company
makes the pattern. This has not
been true in the past. Some of
the measurements have been
changed, some of the proportions
hav/ been altered and the bust
measurement by which most pat
terns are chosen is taken differ
ently. Formerly, the bust mea
urement was taken up under
the armpits, now it is taken
■across the fuller part of the bust.
Mrs. Burand requests you com
pare pattern measurements (see

| chart) to your body measurements
and type. List your bust meas
urement add four inches for ease
and check with pattern. Take
the hip measurement seven inch
es below the natural waistline
add two inches for ease and check
with the pattern measurement.
For blouse, jacket, or dress order
by bust size. For skirts, slacks
etc. order by hip measure. It is
much easier to alter a skirt than
a blouse. For skirts, slacks, etc.
order by hip measure rather than
waist measure. It is much easier
to nip in the waist than to let
out the hips.
Choose a pattern that is not
too complicated for class con
struction as it is annoying for
everyone to have to wait too
often too long for the instructor
to work with someone else. The
emphasis |n the clothing construc
tion workshop shoulcf be on fit,
techniques, and skills rather than
frills, number of garments, etc.
It is much more satisfactory
to choose a garment which can
be completed in the class time
and one which will not upset
the family budget if you happen
to cut two left sleeves, or some
similar twist. If you have never
sewed before, please do not
choose a plaid material. How
ever, if matching plaids is a
technique you wish to learn, and
if you have time to work at,home,
! go to it. Remember to buy
extra material to allow for
matching the plaids. The amount
needed depends on the size of the
plaid, whether it is a balanced
design, etc. Usually a quarter
of a yard is ample unless it is
a large, or unbalanced design or
if it is a napped material such
as corduroy. Corduroy, velve
teen etc., are poor choices for the
beginner.
Mrs. Burand requests that no
cutting be done before the class
meets. Cutting can be done
properly to secure a good begin
| ning or poor cutting can com
pletely ruin the garment. It is
not satisfactory to combine
tailoring and sewing, so there will
be no tailoring at the workshop
now being set up. If the de
mand is sufficient, a tailoring
class can be organized separately.
Silks are often difficult for the
beginner to handle, as are other
sheer, or filmy fabrics. Cotton,
blends, rayons are easier to man
age. Highly crease resistant, pol
ished or glazed fabrics should be
avoided. It must be possible to
straighten cloth so that the sel
vages and ends can be squared
to the table edge. If resin
treated, check to see if the torn
edges can lay together.—Call at

[Nixon Greeted By
Roaring Crowd On
Return To U. S.
WASHINGTON, UP> — Presi
dent Eisenhower warmly wel
comed Vice President Nixon
home from South America Thurs
dal and said Communist-inspired
riots against him there would
surely strengthen inter-American
friendship.
And from thousands of citizens
and well-wishers there was a
roaring welcome for the Vice
President and his wife.
They packed about the airport
and gathered along the roadways
from it into Washington.
Diplomats, Congressional lead
ers and cabinet officers joined the
President in the official welcom
ing group.
In predicting that the rude
ness to the Nixons in Peru and
Venezuela will, in the end,
strengthen inter-American ties,
Eisenhower said it would have
this result because the American
nations in their common associa
tion resent any Communist lead
ership against their unity and
interest.
Eisenhower spoke of the anti
United States demonstrations as
“some unpleasant incidents” which
on occasion had presented real
danger and risk of injury not
only to the Vice President but to
his wife, Pat, also.
Nevertheless Eisenhower said
these outbursts had “in no way
impaired the traditional friend
ship between the United States
and other sister republics.”
In Eisenhower’s audience were
top Latin American diplomats
headed by Ambassador Guillermo
Savilla Sacasa of Nicargua, dean
of the diplomatic corps, and Am
bassador Eduardo Garcia of Ar
gentina, President of the organiza
tion of American States.
Nixon, in response to Eisen
hower, attributed the mob attacks
to “a small 'minority who did not
understand” the purposes of the
United States.
He said the “great majority of
the people in all walks of life are
friendly to the United Stats to
day.”
Nixon offered that as the
principal observation of his eight
nation tour.
Eisenhower paid high personal
tribute to Nixon, saying the Vice
President under trying conditions
had “conducted himself efficient
ly, effectively and with great
dignity.” ,
After Nixon wound up his re
sponse the President and Vice
President climbed into an open
top automobile and rode to
gether into the city.
LONDON, UP) — Teen-age hoo
ligans opened a flood gate at Til
bury today and sent the Thames
swirling through 30 riverside
houses. Firemen helped fami
lies pump water out of their
homes. Police said more than
$14,000 worth of damage was
done. The boys disappeared.
