Nov. 28, 19C0 PRESS, Binghamton, N. Y. 3-B Club Leader Heloise's Household Hints From Abruzzi To Binghamton By SHARON CASSIDY i DEAR IIELOISE: To make sure the tiebacks on your window curtains are at the same level, pull down your window shade or blind to the spot where you wish to fasten the tiebacks. No more measuring A STEADY READER Heloise welcomes all mail, especially household hints which she can pass on to readers as space permits.

However, because of the tremendous volume of mail she receives daily, Heloise is unable to answer all individual letters. She will answer readers' questions in her column whenever possible. It all started in 1942 when 34 women from the Abruzzi (east-central) region of Italy got together in a neighbor's home and decided to form an organization which would provide a means for Italian women living in Binghamton to get to know one another. As a result of the meeting, the Women's Abruzzese Club was founded, and today its membership is over 100. 7 water, then poured into the wash water without touching any of the fabric.

RUTH LEIGH I think Ruth is a dream boat to clue us in on the cause. Thanks oodles ole dear! I would like to add my two cents worth about something else I found that causes boles: Many of us are guilty of using too strong a bleach on our dish rags, hanging them up to dry, then dumping them in the laundry hamper. Don't do this. Those rags might be in the hamper three or four days before you get around to doing your laundry. In the meantime, the bleach from this cloth will get on your nice sheets and clothes.

It might damage the fibers. Perhaps you won't see the tiny holes the first time you wash them but just wait three or four times later. Oh boy! So always rinse bleached articles thoroughly. LOVE, IIELOISE DEAR FOLKS: We have had so many letters of complaint about tiny holes appearing in linens, that we contacted a laboratory at one of the largest manufacturers of linens. Here is their reply: DEAR IIELOISE: As Director of Homemaking Service for a large manufacturer of household textiles, I answer thousands of letters from homemakers.

Many de-scribe "small holes" in sheets. Others complain about changes of color in laundering towels. In investigating these complaints, our laboratory usually traces them to careless use of bleach in laundering. As you know, this definitely affects the wear of towels and sheets. The problem in using bleach is that women do not take the trouble to read directions.

They pour the bleach right into the laundry load. Wherever material touches the bleach, it forms holes. It should be diluted first with idh v. ONE OF the women present at that first get-together was Mrs. Dominic Serafini of i i 11 Kress Street.

She is now president of the club. Primarily a social and service group, the Women's Abruzzese Club undertakes a list of projects which includes sending packages and prayers to the toys overseas, making pilgrimages to shrines, and sponsoring Italian dinners, banquets, and parties for. themselves and other organizations, The Women's club also awards scholarships to local high school students. The next project the club will undertake will be making macaroni for the "Many Lands Market" being sponsored by the American Civic Association Saturday and Sunday. Mrs.

Serafini was born and raised in Casacanditella, Italy, a city in the Cheite Province, and came to the United States with her husband when she was 18. She has five children, all of whom are married, and 13 grandchildren. fUti i i Hi rj 4 era' USE PRESS PHOTO BY PAUL KONECNY.

SERAFINI has been active in the Abruzzeses since its founding, except for a period between 1949 and 1952. "I didn't lose interest in the Abruzzeses," she explained, "but the children were small and I just had my hands fulL" This is Mrs.

Serafini's first year as president of the Abruzzeses and it's all a little new to her, she said. "I really don't know too much about being a president," Mrs. Serafini said, "but I'm learning slowly." "It's pretty hard to get up in front of a group and conduct a meeting when you've never had any experience. You get nervous," she said. Mrs.

Sera- fini stepped into the presidency from her job as treasurer. "It is an honor to be president," she said. "The women I work with are wonderful." Mrs. Serafini, who is also a member of the Rosary Society of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Catholic Church and employed full time as a stitcher at the Eureka Tent and Awning manages to find plenty of time for one of her favorite past-times cooking. Lasagna, ravioli and macaroni are her specialties.

Mrs. Serafini also does a lot of canning. Although most of the women in the Abruzzeses are from the Abruzzese region of Italy, membership is open to all, Mrs. Serafini said. 185-187 COURT STREET 1280 UPPER FRONT STREET 307 C0NKLIN AVENUE 305-309 MAIN STREET WEST CORNERS PLAZA ENDIC0TT OPEN EVERY ffft NIGHT 'TIL P.
