New Textile Processes, Better Working Conditions (lire New Life to 1-antashlrc industry By DKNISE DALTROFF Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON tt Cotton is being dre ;ed up. It is no longer used .;n!y for summer gad-about frocks but Is being woven, print? fa and dyed so it can take its o:ace a3 a substitute for silk or wool Lancashire, centre of the Eng-ch cotton industry which began there nearly 800 years ago, has seen many up.' and downs. The new processes for making -"tcn a material suitable for alt -noon frocks, evening dresses and evening cloak.?, has brought a spirit of optimism in' to the mills. One of the biggest cotton manufacturers is using cotton to make "velvet" and guard's cloth evening coats, "velveteen" afternoon frocks and "organdie" eve ning dreso-es. One of the evening circles has a full-gathered skirt and low rquare neck. The bodlctj and short .sleeves, are- made, tt'lth derp horizontal tucks. A brown corduroy velveteen call has a three-quarter cuffed ieeve and shows a long-sleeved blue blouse at wrist and neckline The skirt has pleats at back and front. War Losses Until the First Oreat War Lancashire supplied two-thirds of the world's cotton textiles but by 1918 India and Japan had imported modern British machinery and, with their cheap abor, were able to capture a targe part of the market. Again In this war cotton manufacturers suffered by concentration on war production, re quiring the moving of operatives to more essential work. In one town alone the number of work cts was reduefd by half. Now manufacturers, anxious to fill the shops with gay table cloths, curtain fabrics, sheet, bathtowcls, and dress fabrics at reasonable prices, find it hard to attract workers back to an industry in which the work, is often monotonous and drab They are trying to counteract this by freshening up the mills with cream palrcwork and flu orescent lighting, by providing bigger windows and air-condi tionlng and new machinery which makes less noise. Canteens, hospitals, day nurseries where workers can leave heir children, and organized 'ecreatlonal activities are planned by most big mills. One factory springs surprise outings now and again on a fully-paid day. Although the day's work is lost, a company director said, production is more than made up on other days since the workers are happier and more Interested In their Jobs. The Seal of Quality BRITISH COLUMBIA'S FINEST SALMON Bruises and abrasions are difficult to repair and conceal. There can be no set rule for roasting poultry Mnce the length of time required for different types depends on the size, shape and weight of the nird as well as personal taste.

Turkey, 8 to 10 pounds, 300 F, Za minutes per pound. Turkey, 12 to 16 pounds 300F, 20 minutes per pound. Turkey, 16 to 25 pounds 300F, 18-20 minutes per pound. Duck, 3 to 8 pounds 325F, 20-25 minutes per 'pound. Goose, 10 to 12 pounds 325F, 20-25 minutes per pound.
