OLD TIME METALS
AND MODERN WASHING
In this age of 757’5, laser
beams, and Future Shock,
many people who usually want
the latest in everything are
looking to the past for warmth
and stability. Movies and fash
ions are tinged with nostalgia,
as are home furnishings and
cooking and serving utensils.
Thus, on a lucite etagere may
rest a pair of antique brass
candlesticks. Or hanging on a
wall over a microwave oven
may be a collection of pewter
mugs.
Metals such as copper, brass,
tin, and pewter have been
known to man for centuries. If
they are new to you, however,
you may be wondering about
their care.
Generally, anything made of
these exotic metals is best hand
washed, rinsed, and dried with
a soft towel. Dishwashers as a
rule are not recommended;

polishes often are.
Copper oxidizes and
darkens with exposure to air
and when it is used for cook
ing, but any of a number of
polishes will restore its bright
ness. Generally, the polish
directions recommend washing
the object first, applying polish
with a damp sponge or cloth,
rinsing, and buffing dry.
Bronze is usually an alloy of
copper and tin, often contain
ing lead and other elements. It
is harder and more corrosion
resistant than copper alone.
Not used for cooking due to
the lead content, bronze is
found in treasured decorative
pieces. These are washed by
hand in soap or detergent and
warm water, rinsed and dried.
The Middle Ages spurred
the use of brass, an alloy of
copper and zinc. It, too, is
harder and stronger than
copper, and it is used exten
sively for objects of art. All
brasses contain lead, restricting
its use for cooking utensils to
outside or decorative surfaces.
It will oxidize in air due to its
high copper content, but can
be polished after each washing
with copper cleaner.
Tin is non-toxic and thus is
an excellent metal for cooking
or containing food. It is used
primarily for plating. Tin
plated objects should not be
scoured or washed in the dish
washer, but do follow regular
handwashing procedures.
Pewter as it exists today, it
can be classified either as “old”
or “modern.” The basic metal
is tin, alloyed with copper,
antimony and/or lead. Pewter
without lead resists oxidation
indefinitely and is safe for use
in food and beverage service. It
is a softer metal and, therefore,
best handwashed.
All of these metals have a
tendency to react to hot water

PUPILS TOUR NEWS PLANT
Pupils of Mrs. Andrew Williams at North Summerville
Elementary School visited The Summerville News last
and drying temperature and
hardness minerals. Therefore,
machine washing causes dis
coloration, and with tin and
“old” pewter, some corrosion.
However, if a bright finish is
not important to you, or if you
intend to use a copper cleaner
(many are available) on your
copper, bronze, or brass, it is
possible to wash these metals
in the dishwasher. Some people
prefer the old tarnished look,
and it is not odd that a modern
convenience like the dish
washer hastens the process.
Good workers are always in
demand, somewhere.
Nixon Cotton Plan
To Hurt Farmers
ATLANTA (GPS)-The
Nixon administration has an
nounced a plan to reduce more
than $lO9-million from sub
sidies to cotton farmers next
year, and Georgia’s senior U.S.
Sen. Herman Talmadge, chair
man of the Senate Agriculture
and Forestry Committee,
doesn’t like it one bit.
In a strongly-worded state-
week and were conducted on a tour of the plant by
Don Espy.
ment, Sen. Talmadge had this
to say about the situation:
“The Department of Agri
culture’s announcement of the
1973 cotton program made
two basic changes.
“First, the base acreage
upon which payments will be
made was reduced from
11.5-million acres in 1972 to
10-million acres for 1973, or a
j reduction of 15 per cent. Pre
liminary estimates indicate that
this will reduce payments to
cotton farmers in 1973 by
sllO-million below the 1972
level.
“The second basic change
made was the elimination of a
requirement that 20 per cent
of the producers’ allotment be
set aside or diverted from pro
duction of money return crops.
The department reduced this
from 20 per cent to zero. While
this may be commendable,
many farmers would not be
able to return this land to
profitable production of other
crops because it may have been
put into long-term cover crops
The Summerville News, Thurs., Nov. 23, 1972
(grasses and legumes).
“The department’s action
was unwarranted and unnece
ssarily drastic. There is not a
big surplus of cotton. More
over, current prices are not as
high now as they were this past
summer, and, in my judgment,
farmers would not have
planted as much cotton next
year because of the price situa
tion.
“This reduction in paying
acreage will seriously impair
the farmer’s ability to continue
the production of cotton.
“In view of the serious im
pact of the department’s action
on cotton farmers, I urge
Secretary (Earl L.) Butz to
reconsider the 1973 cotton
program.
“The department’s action as
announced is not required by
either a surplus of cotton or a
price situation.
