16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, December 1, 1967 Ever New Uses For Leather Man's Earliest By KARIN MOSER MONTREAL (CP) -- Man has been using leather for about 600,000 years, says Beth Hammond, director of the Leather Bureau of Canada, but he's still finding new uses for it. A pigskin floor for the busi- nessman's executive suit, for example, or as multi-colored fashion accessories such as brooches, earrings, pendants and bracelets. Aside from these innova- tions, a main reason for the continuing popularity of leath- er is its long-wearing quall- ties, especially if properly cared for. "Most important is not to neglect leather if it becomes soiled or wet,"' Mrs. Ham- mond says. "Shoes, when wet, should be dried immediately both inside and out and put on shoe trees. If no shoe trees are available, stuff tissue paper into the toes and let the shoes dry in normal room temperature. "Never place shoes on ra- diators or direct sources of heat. This will dry the leather and cause it to break." Suede shoes should be brushed frequently. "Should they become soiled in spots, gently pass a fine piece of eandpaper or emery board over the area. This will raise the surface of the leather and allow you to clean the spot." Suede clothing can often be cleaned with a dry sponge to remove surface dirt. SCARVES PROTECT "Most women wear scarves inside their suede garments to eliminate a dark neckline caused by hair oil, makeup and just plain dirt. It's vital that suede be kept from be- coming too soiled, otherwise it will lose its beauty, especially after repeated cleanings." Light spots can be removed by wiping the surface with a soft cloth dampened in luke- warm water. Creases in suede and other leather garments can be removed by placing a dry cloth on the area and using an iron with heat con- trol set at nylon Handbags retain their lustre Material quire a boot wardrobe," Mrs. Hammond says. "One boot just can't see them through the varfous winter condi- tions." She recommends an unlined boot for early winter's cold dry days and a shearling-lined shoe-boot in suede or smooth leather for severe cold, dry days. : "For late-day wear a kid, fine calf or suede boot is ideal and for wet slushy days rub- ber or vinyl boots are best." Boots with seaming down | the centre front are the driest, | "This year's winter boots have special rubber linings between the outside leather | and inside lining to prevent | water from seeping through. But boots must be siliconed regularly to prevent dirt and calcium deposits from eating through the leather." CLEAN IMMEDIATELY Hard-to-erase calcium stains can be removed by cleaning the boot with a mix- ture of vinegar and water. "If you wait for several days after the boot has been dragged through slush and calcium, don't expect perfect results. Immediate cleaning ts imperative to preserve leather." Oils and silicones shou never be used on boots whic require stiffness of leather. Apply ski-boot was ad For ski boots some excellent wat compounds available Mrs. Hammond still ad h finds many women are unfamiliar with the terms used to de- scribe leathers. She offers this glossary: --Kidskin, made from 'm ported goatskins, light, strong, highly porous, soft and fine-grained.
