The Host and Fashion Com mittee is helping this problem by sponsoring a “$5 and under” dis play in the MSC ballroom tonight from 7 until 10. Thirteen local merchants will display items which sell for $5 or less in their stores. Such items as candles, toys, clothing, jewelry, stationery and novelty gifts will be on view. They will not be available for sale tonight, but all are carried in the stores’ regular stock. “The purpose is to give stu dents and faculty and staff mem- Close inspection key to appliance purchases (This is the third in a 12-part series based on the recent best seller, “BB Consumer’s Buying Guide, How to Get Your Money’s Worth.” By latest count, Americans buy 75 million small and large appli ances annually—from refrigera tors and freezers to heating pads and warming trays. Television seta: Some TV sets are fair-traded. This means the manufacturer has set a minimum price for the set and determined that fair trading will apply in certain locations. There are many instances in which reductions from fair-traded terms are per mitted. If you question the price of a set, contact the manufac turer to determine if his set is fair-traded in your area, and what the recommended price is. Manufacturers’ warranties vary, but should be specific on the obligations of both dealer and purchaser. On black-and-white sets you may find that the per formance of the picture tube is guaranteed for a year or two years. In the case of color, the warranty period is usually ex tended an additional year for no additional payment. Parts are generally covered for longer than labor (the former for one or more years, the latter for several months, and sometimes not at all). One thing that you should know before you buy a TV is that a dealer is not obliged to exchange a set. If it does not work properly, he is required, however, to put it in proper work ing condition under the terms of the contract. Air conditioners: A good air conditioner will keep you com fortable through all hot weather. It should cool, circulate, dehumid- ify and filter the air. Manufacturers of room air con ditioners have agreed to use, as the standard, the only recognized method of delineating cooling capacity. The measurement is stated in terms of BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. A BTU is the established unit f6r meas uring the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fah renheit. The terms “ton” and “horsepower” are not accepted words for describing cooling capacity. You will also have to consider the wiring in your home. It must be equipped to handle your air conditioner. If you rent, ask the landlord. Freezers and food-freezer The New Little Dress Shop In Sunnyland Shopping Center Beautiful Slack Sets and Dresses In Juniors, Petites Misses and Half Sizes Register For Free Turkey WTAW Annual “Turkey Trot” plans: BBB files contain many complaints from consumers who have signed contracts for freezers and thereafter are kept supplied wtih food on a regular basis. If you are in the market for one of these food-freezer plans, proceed cautiously. “Huge savings” on the cost of food may mean that you will be paying an inflated price for your freezer. In fact, the principal cause for complaint in these plans has been about the exorbitant price of the freezer. Before you sign a contract, shop for freezers without food plans to determine how much you can expect to pay for the freezer itself. Other complaints about food- freezer plans involve companies that failed to deliver food, or others that went out of business after installing the freezer. Refrigerators: Should you have problems with your refrigerator, you can expect a warranty for the first year, and usually an additional four years’ protection for the refrigerating system it self. Once you have purchased a re frigerator, you can save money on repair bills if you follow these rules: don’t allow a heavy ac cumulation of frost or dust on the coil mechanism; position it in a spot with adequate ventilation; avoid frequent opening and clos ing of doors; don’t store foods while hot; and avoid fiddling with controls. Gas and electric ranges: Before purchasing a range, investigate the cost and availability of gas and electricity in your area. Also bear in mind that a 220-volt line may be necessary for an electric stove. When choosing your range ask yourself if it is easy to clean. If you can’t afford a self-cleaning ovep, find out whether the oven door is removable for easier ac cess to the inside. If it is not, you may find removable interior panels that are Teflon-coated. Washing machines The size of a washing machine is measured in terms of the dry weight of clothing to be washed. Washing machines are referred to as “com pletely automatic,” “automatic” and “automatic action” washers. A completely automatic washer takes clothes through an entire wash cycle without any manual control. An automatic washer does not have an automatic them- ostat to vary water temperatures. In an automatic action washer (also known as semi-automatic), each operation is manually started. In the purchase of almost all appliances the shopper should be aware of “bait and switch” tac tics engaged in by the unscrupu lous. Bait is an attractively priced offer which the salesman will derogate and use as a means of switching the shopper to much higher priced merchandise. Best way to protect against this sales tactic is to deal with an honest, reliable merchant. bers a chance to preview inex pensive gifts at their leisure,” said Laura Sorensen, publicity chairman. “The items will not be on sale and there is no obligation to buy anything,” she stressed. Stores participating in the pro gram are: Sokowiki, MSC Gift Shop, Exchange Store, Country Squire, Beverley Braley’s Town- shire, Conway & Co., Aggieland Florist and Gift Shoppe, Britts Department Store, Bi City Ink, Betty’s Fashions, Pack’s Plaster Shop, Mickle Gift Shop, and Lit tle Dickens. Gifts will be shown suitable for people of all ages, and many will be items that a buyer does not usually consider. Subtle switch in make-up routine can create portrait - pretty face The change of face that goes with the changes in fashion is turning today’s reigning beauties into two-faced women. A Vene tian charmer by day and a queenly figure from the age of elegance by night—they’re easy- do changeabouts when your beauty secrets are lifted from the glamorous pages of the past. Painting a portrait-pretty face involves a subtle switch in every day makeup techniques. In fact, it’s a return to the 16th Century, when the women used a great many beauty aids. During the Italian Renaissance, hair was dyed and bleached—blonds being as popular then as now—and wigs were used to embellish hair and create exotic curls and braids. The Renaissance woman used makeup on her face, neck and breasts—not to mention her eyes and lips. Beauty patches were favorites and were liberally ap plied. While makeup formulas have changed and the popularity of beauty patches somewhat di minished, the techniques and colors used in the 16th Century have been revived. The 16th Century beauty has become a 20th Century romantic. A new kind of naturalness is being stressed by day—all smooth rounds and soft young allure. And by night, the word is glam our and pearlized mystery for today’s fashion conscious woman. This year’s inspiration is the Venetian beauty as seen in so many portraits of the Renais sance—Botticelli and Ghirlandajo captured her over and over. Key to their pampered look is an even, all-one-color glow—natural, yet softly pale. To smooth the sheen of today’s sun-exposed skin, sleek on Dorothy Gray's Secret of the Sea Foundation in one of the neu tral shades. The moisturing formula is all-important for the slight, all-over shine—so much newer now than sharp face shap ings. Switch to a foundation that’s one shade lighter than your natural skin tones to emu late the pale beauties of the Renaissance. Biggest change from the all- American girl of the Sixties is the use of highlighters and the emphasis on the eyes. Highlight ers are the subtlest of pearlized shapers—applied around the jaw line and down the bridge of the nose, instead of under the cheek bones. Everything is unshadowed shape, softly rounded and pale with no sharp hollows or lines. The new Renaissance eye is emphatic, without being insist ent. Shape is slightly rounded— the natural look of youth. Shadow your lids in taupe and smoke, applied in a wide-eyed curve. Follow the natural line of the lid, from just above the inner corner of the eye. Starting now, the idea is to emphasize the curve instead of the angle of the outer eye. False eyelashes are still a must— but, they’re newly light and wispy, not heavy and domineer ing. The allure of the look is wide-eyed innocence, so keep your own daytime eye makeup muted without eyeliner or hard edges. By night, the beauty of the moment sheds her girlish, Vene tian charms for mysteriously heightened allure. The theme is worldly elegance, as inspired by such portraits as John Singer Sargent’s “Madame X.” The day time roundness of Venetian inno cence takes on planes and angles.' Cheekbones are shaped with Secret of the Sea Pearl High lighter, with pearly evening shadows on the eyes to add sparkle to the outspoken romanti cism of the moment. The tricks to learn for night-time glamour are shadowing and shaping. Day or night, lips have new importance. No more no-mouth pales! Today’s face features a definite little mouth, painted browny-pink by day and with a pearlized gloss by night. For the arrogant look of the 19th Cen tury, adopt a model’s trick and in a one-tone-darker line. The beauty look of the Seven ties may have dipped back into history—but it’s still an indi vidual look. What’s perfect for one woman, may have to be modi fied for another. Do -it-yourself ? The tricks really aren’t hard to copy at home—but, they must be learned and they do take practice and patience.
