The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-02-09, Page 30Page 10 -Crossroads -Feb. 9, 1933' Dip -dying discolored silks b the case of fine silk blouses, you don't have to perspire too much or keep them in the closet too long before they discolor or fade. As wonderful as silk is to wear, the truth is that silk has a limited life span. Before you toss a disco- lored silk in the trash, how- ever, why not try dying it first? Any natural fabric, such as silk or cotton, is easy to dye. All the sup- plies you need are avail- able at the supermarket. ' Subtle, ombre waves of color are especially attrac- tive on elegant silk blouses. Using the "ombre," or "dip - dying" technique, the color moves from light to dark in soft stripes. Dip -dying is extremely simple because the color isn't supposed to be uni- form. In fact, the color doesn't even have to be uni- form throughout each stripe. Therefore, when your once -beautiful blouse turns gray, yellow or three shades lighter around the collar, dye it. You have nothing, to lose - and` an exciting "new" blouse to gain. Here are directions for dip -dying: MATERIALS: Three col- ors of dye in the same fam- ily, ranging from light to dark. Suggested are Rit Dye colors of ecru, tan and cocoa brown; or pink, rose - pink and fuchsia. _ Basic supplies are rub- ber gloves; cup for dissolv- ing powder dye; iron; large container for dye bath; mixing spoon for stirring dye bath; plastic hanger, old sponges or rags; liquid chlorine bleach for clean- up. PREPARATION: 1. Check to be sure that the blouse, or any other item to be dyed, is 100 percent nat- ural fiber. Synthetics such as polyester will not accept dye. 2, Wash blouse. 3. Fol- lowing directions on dye package, prepare dye bath in the lightest color that you have chosen. FIRST COLOR: 1. Com- • pletely wet the blouse. 2. Immerse entire blouse in dye bath. 3. Stir for 10 min- utes. 4. Remove blouse from dye bath and hang it on a plastic hanger. SECOND COLOR: 1. Dissolve the next darkest shade of dye. 2. Add new dye to the original dye bath. 3. Immerse the bot- tom two-thirds of the blouse in the dye bath. Let it soak for 10 minutes. THIRD COLOR: 1. Dis- solve the darkest shade of dye. 2. Add new dye to the dye bath. 3. Immerse the bottom third of the blouse in the dye bath. Let it soak for 10 minutes. RINSING: 1. Begin rins- ing with the darkest shade at the bottom. Otherwise the darker color may drip onto the lighter shades. 2. Hang blouse to dry. CARE: Hand -wash your blouse separately the first few times as the color may "bleed" slightly.

The issue that prompted the closure re- mains unsettled. Spain is still claiming the rock as Spanish territory, and the vast majority of the Rock's residents continue to insist that they are not Spanish, but Gibraltarians. When I first went ashore in Gibral- tar, as a kid in the naval re- serve, La Linea, a town just inside Spain, was where the action was. You'd see the seamen weaving back across the border after a night in La Linea, desperately trying to make the last cutter to the ship, white uniforms dis- hevelled, lugging cheap sou- venirs - and perhaps some that weren't so cheap or so visible either. In the last 13 years of isolation, the naval traffic has eased consider- ably, and the dockyard, which used to be Gibraltar's chief strategic reason for• existing, has been closed. Gi- braltarians learned to live with the isolation apparent- ly. So much so that first re' ports indicate they're now viewing the open border with some misgiving. But it should make life a lot sim- pler. Relatives in Spain and Gibraltar were so cut off from each other, that they were reduced to standing forlornly in little knots at the border, using binoculars to see how mother looked or how the nephew had grown. There was no telephone con- tact between Spain and Gi- braltar, no telegraph serv- ice, no way to get directly from one to the other. I found that out the hard way ten years ago, with a film crew in Spain. We'd finished a Spanish shoot and were due for another one in Gibraltar the following week. We'd ar- ranged to fly from Malaga, on Spain's Costa del Sol, to Tangier in Morocco, and then take the ferry to Gibral- tar. But my camera crew was German, and at the last minute, because of a new Moroccan policy, they weren't allowed to leave Spain. Since thousands of dollars worth of camera gear had already been loaded onto the aircraft, I had to go with it, and leave the crew in Mal- aga. At the end of one of the most harrowing days of my life, I was in Gibraltar in the old Rock Hotel, with the camera gear ' inpounded by Her Majesty's customs, locked up in a shed on a Gi- braltar pier. I couldn't phone or telegraph the crew, and they couldn't get to me either. In the end, I had to phone Canada, to get some- one to phone the crew in Spain. They never got through. Two days later, with a very tight shooting schedule unravelling rapid- ly, the missing crew turned up at the Rock Hotel after paving their way with dollar bilis. There'll be no more of that, I guess, but the future of Gibraltar remains up in the air. It won't become an- other Falklands - the new Spanish government and Westminster will see to that. But it remains one of those almost hopeless diplomatic tangles that will probably make the status quo seem like the easiest way out for a long time to come. That's not news but that too is reality. Carrier Intrepid now a museiun The 900 -foot U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid, now per- manently • rthed on the west side of Manhattan, serves as a unique museum devoted to maritime and aerospace matters. Displ:: ys and theme halls tell of U.S. maritime devel- opment., the growth of avia- tion, the Navy's role in aero- space activities, the Intrep- id's place in history and New York City's contributions to progress in air, sea and outer space.
