When choosing clothing for the young or elderly, special attention should be paid to the construction and fibre content. Remiember that lighter- weight fabrics, fabrics with a raised fibre surface (such as flannelette), and open weave fabrics burn faster. Loose fit- tinig garments with flaring skirts or sîceves, ruffles and trimrnings ignite more easily arnd burn faster than close fit- ting. plaîiy styled garments. Fibres also have different characteristics. Cotton, rayon, linen, acctatc aînd triacetate wiIl ail burn readily. Nylon, polyester, acrylic, spaîndex and polypropylene do not ignite readily, but once ignited tend to drip. These hot drops tend to carry the Rlames away frorn the burning fabrie so that the fiame self- ext in gu ishes. Modacrylie and saran will not continue to burn once the source of ignition is removed. Wool and silk do not ignite easily and burn very slowly. Glass and asbestos do not buorn. Children's sleepwear which has been treated wjth a fiame- retardant finish is available in some stores.

This was proved in independent test- ing by Dr. Marjory Joseph, Chairman of the Department of Homne Economics, Cali- fornia State University. 1Launderings with carbonate- based detergents alone suppres- sed the flamne-retardant finish after 20 lauinderings. When Boratecmn-Plus was added to the detergent the finish sur-, vived a further 10 launderingý. Lauindering with phosphate detergent alone prescrved the fiame retardant finish, but phosphate detergent combined with chiorine bleach suppress- ed the finish at 30 lauinderings. Phosphate detergent combined with Borateem-Plus main- tained the flame retardant fin- ish through 50 launderings. Strength and appearance re- tention were also testçd during these experimrents. Conclusion of the testing was that Borateern-Plus is a viable alternative for the use with phosphate detergents- in retarding the loss of flame re- tardant finishes. It is also a most effective comrbination for maintaining fabric color or whiteness and strength.

Élood shortage? Unfortunatcly, yes. Because people are extra busy with holly, mistletoe, etc. they tend to postpone their visit to a Red Cross blood donor ciinic until after the holidays. But urgent surgery can't be postponed. And nobody can tell an accident to wait three weeks. Fewer donors plus increased needs means a blood shortage. There is only one way <o prevent it. Persuade more donors to take that haif hour of time necessary to make a blood donation. Tell them lîow important il is. Tell them one blood donation can help as rnany as five people back to heaîth. Ask them to share the jov of life. How do you combat their "i'm too busy, let George do it" attitude? Maybe by telling people that in this vast and vibrant nation of ours, there just aren't enough people named George. A voiuntary blood transfusion service needs volunteers - of ail names. So corne Tom and Dick and Harry, corn e Jane and Alice and Mary, corne Prancer and Dancer and Donner and Vixen - - - GEORGE NEEDS HELP!!! Give biood this holiday season.
