Flimsy Garb FireThreat To Youngsters If you have any children in the "let s pretend" ages, part of your Christmas shopping will be easy. The choice of gifts will prob ably be made for you, in the form of firm demands for the latest in space suits, cowboy out fits or whatever other costumes their current make-believe lives call for. And you'd better fol low instructions to the letter, because even a misplaced stud on a holster will be spotted! But the most important de tail, the National Board of Fire Underwriters emphasizes, is something the youngsters won't even notice. It's this: make sure those costumes are flame resistant! Last June, a partial victory in the fight against the sale of flam mable garments was achieved with the passage by Congress of Public Law 88, known as the "Flammable Fabrics Act." Never theless, this is a minimum law, and does not fully protect the consumer. As Edward F, How- rey, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (policing agency for the law) warns, "The act merely forbids the sale of those fabrics which are especial ly hazardous. Fabrics of normal flammability can still result in casualties if the wearer is care less with fire or sparks." What can you do to protect your children? First, when buying a costume of flimsy material, see if it is labelled as being flame-resistant. Occasionally you can find one that is. But even if you do, make sure washing or dry-clean ing don't lessen or destroy the flame-resistance. In the case of untreated cos tumes, you can easily do the job yourself. Just dip the cloth (as suming it is washable) in a so lution of 9 ounces of borax and 4 ounces of boric acid to a gal lon of water. Wring by hand and hang to dry. The flame resistance is not affected by iron ing, .but the treatment must be repeated " after every launder ing. Use. this treatment on filmy party dresses and doll clothes, too and it's equally good for grown-ups' clothing and for washable draperies and other household furnishings. A word of caution. Don't ex pect too much of the term, "flame-resistant." If you hold a match to a flame-resistant fab ric, it will burn. But it will not continue to burn when you take the match away. Your children will be safe from a deadly or disfiguring "flash fire"! x MISSIONARY CIRCLE TO HOLD MEETING Missionary circle, Eastwood Baptist church, will meet at the home of Mrs. Don Matheus, 1020 South Holly street, Monday, De cember 6.

Former Homes Of Presidents To Receive Rugs Birmingham, Mich. (U.R) The former homes of two U.

So say two staff members of the Langley Porter psychiatric clinic at University of California after a study of parents whose split personality" children are hospitalized. Dr. A. Rodney Prestwood and Mrs. Shirley Kahn said psychi atric studies of the mothers showed these personality characteristics: "They appeared controlling, demanding in a subtle way which seemed to forestall open rebellion of the child. They were more dependent than the average on the opinian and approval of others. "They were desirous of the 'perf ect child.' "They were dominant in the home as compared with a passive husband. "And they expressed attitudes toward sex which ranged from 'rejection to tolerance'." Parental Anxiety Prestwood and Mrs. . Kahn said other common characteris tics were apparent in the group they studied. They said irrespec tive of the number of children in the family the parents "often singled out the schizophrenic child as 'different'." "The parents often anticipated inadequacy in the child, and the irrational fears were frequently confirmed as the childe respond ed to the parental anxiety," the report said. "Each parent had an intense feeling about the 'rightness' of his own values. These values were consistently distortions of what was generally acceptable, yet none of the parents was aware that the limits he set for his child were so much more ex acting than those of the com munity at large. "These parents directed the child toward unrealistic goals, and both parent and child were fruslrated at the discrepancy be- Dinner, Election Set for Friday By Mineral Club "Bring a rock and brir.g a dish" is the request issued to the members of Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral club for the ; December meeting.

A meeting will follow dinner, with the annual election of officers. tween the fantasied child and the real child." Prestwood and Mrs. Kahn said over-rjrotectiveness" was con sistently oresent in both fathers and mothers of schizophrenic children. - "All the mothers felt a strong need to be 'Derfect mothers, and went to such extremes as aban doning social life in order to be at home whenever the child wanted them," the psychiatrists reported. . Milady Continues Pipe Smoking Fad New York (U.R) A feminine smoking fad which began last summer has proved more than just a pipe dream for the indus try.
