have a small, round hole; the
wider oval opening used for zig
zagging may cause seams to
pucker.
Pressure - The teeth of the
feed-dog should not mark or cut
into the fabric. The home sewer
should test for this by sewing a
sample seam and reducing the
pressure if necessary. Here is an
easy test for correct pressure:
1. Cut two strips of fabric of
equal length, about eight inches
long.
2. Place one strip exactly over
the other and sew a seam down
the middle.
3. Note any difference in the
length of the fabrics. After sew
ing, if the bottom fabric is short
er than the top one, the tension
on the presser-foot is too great
4. Reduce the presser-foot ten
sion and test again on two more
strips until both strips are even
in length.
Stitching - For most fabrics,
10 to 12 stitches per inchare sat
isfactory. Studies show that if the
sewer applies tension to the
fabric while she is stitching, she
can reduce seam puckering. This
is done by applying slight ten
sion to the fabric behind and in
front of the needle, being care
ful not to pull the fabric through
the machine. Sewing at a mod
erate, even pace with few stops
and starts is best.
Sewing Thread - The type of
sewing thread is an important
consideration. Threads con
taining nylon or polyester are
recommended. Seams sewn with
these threads have a neat ap
pearance and will perform well
throughout the life of the garment.
With these sewing hints the
home sewer can turn out gar
ments with a professional cus
tom-made look that will win her
compliments wherever she wears
them.

Golden halibut steaks topped with a tangy sweet and sour
sauce set the mood for delicious dining in the oriental manner.
Chinese noodles, snow peas garnished with a sprinkling of toasted
sesame seeds, and a pot of steaming tea are nice accompaniments
for this quickly prepared main dish.
The colorful sauce, bright with golden pineapple, green pepper
and carrot pinwheels is a wonderful contrast to the mild, del
icately flavored fish.
Due to excellent freezing methods, true North Pacific halibut
can be enjoyed the year around. This firm textured fish has the
fine qualities of being low in fat content, yet rich in protein.

Postal Rate Increase
Proposals Explained
An ’inherited* postal deficit
of $1.2 billion is responsible for
the proposals to raise the post
age bill for residents of Clin
ton, Postmaster Adair said to
day.
Mr. Adair said he had been ad
vised by Postmaster General
Winton M. Blount in Washing
ton, D. C. that the record$1.2
billion 1970 deficit compelled
President Nixon to seek postage
rate increases. Without higher
rates the Department will be left
with a staggering deficit that
wfttild become an added public tax
burden.
In addition to increasing letter
mail from 6 to 7 cents, as pro
posed by the Johnson Adminis
tration, President Nixon also
asked that second and third-class
mailers help reduce the large
postal deficit which would other
wise be paid by taxpayers, the
postmaster said.

percent to 20 percent aodve to
day’s levels, he noted. These per
centages include rate hikes al
ready scheduled by previous act
ion of Congress.
The President’s recommended
increases will reduce the 1970
postal deficit by more than $600
million.
The postmaster listed these
other details on the proposed in
creases:
First class mail - Letters and
post cards would be increased
one cent, to 7 cents an ounce
and 6 cents a piece, respective
ly, on July 1, 1969. Airmail post
age would remain at 10 cents.
This will yield $557.2 million in
new revenue.
Second class mail - A hand
ling charge of 3/10ths of a cent
per piece for circulation outside
home counties would become ef
fective July 1, 1969. This would
yield $15.3 million annually and
would represent a 12 percent in
crease in addition to the 8 per
cent rise scheduled to take ef
fect January 1, 1970.
Third class mail - For single
pieces, rates would be increased
one cent per piece. This would
yield $12.4 million. For regular
bulk third-class, the minimum
would be increased to a uniform
rate of 4.2 cents January 1, 1970,
as contrasted with the present
rate of 3.6 cents. The 1970 in
crease would lift revenue by
$46.8 million annually.
