A spe cial warning to new parents about the dangers of plastic bags to their babies is being inserted into copios of "Infant Care," the Goverment's best selling publication, the Chil dren's Bureau announced to day. New parents reading "In fant Care" in the future and it is estimated that, "Infant Care" is used to help rear one in three babies in the United States will find a special no tice in the front of the publi cation warning them that plastic film, used to protect dry-cleaned clothes or fresh vegetables can cause children to suffocate. The U.S. Government Print ing Office has agreed to in sert the notice into all copies of "Infant Care" it sells. Sen ators and Congressmen, many of whom distribute the publi cation to parents in their States and districts, also are being requested to stuff the warning about the dangers of plastic film into copies they send out. The Children's Bureau no tice cautions parents not to use the plastic to protect their baby's bedding or to leave it where the baby can play with it. They are urged to destroy garment or vegetable bags when they have served their purpose and not to let' any .kind of plastic film come into physical contact with young children. The plastic bag warning 'also will be inserted into copies of "Your Child From ' One to Six," a second highly . popular publication of the 'Children's Bureau, which is -largely distributed by the 'government printing office.

This is the third time that LOOK this FRYER grown in OREGON THIS URL NOW FOR FRESHER V FRYERS White House Furniture Said 'Un-American' Oucago-(0re-When it comes to furniture, the White House is un-American, says Arthur L. Margolis, a furniture man. Margolis, vice president of a company (Dearborn) which manufactures Early Ameri can reproductions, believes at least one of the 107 rooms in the President's home should be furnished in this style. "There are sideboards after Sheraton, chair after Chip pendale and tables after Hep- plewhite. all Englishmen," ne said. "But nowhere in the White House can you find a representative exhibit of our American folk art of cabinet making." The few Early American pieces in the Executive Man sion are virtually hidden by European imports, Margolis said, and the famous Blue Room looks more like the in side of a palace than the President's house. The only way you can identify it as American is by the United States seal repeat ed throughout the room," he said. "The furniture is all im ported from France."

Lucas Howard Furniture Hiwjy 99 Central Point NO 4-1226 No one needs a pretty, wearable wardrobe more than the school-going miss. Wheth er she's six or sixteen, she's concerned with the problem of what to wear to class and for other school activities. The National Cotton coun cil suggests that the most practical-and also the pret tiest-solution can be to sew washable cotton fabrics into smart, young fashions. mis summer you u xina a wonderful selection of cotton fabrics especially suited to new back-to-school styles of fered by pattern companies. There are Early American prints, miniature paisleys, all- over wallpaper designs, and needlepoint and tapestry pat terns. Tiny geometries, bonny plaids, smart checks, and neat stripes are popular. Some cot ton plaids for fall and winter are woven with a hairy, shaggy look. Corduroy-an oldtime favor ite for children's clothes-ap pears in thick and thin wales and in cobblestone textures. More plentiful than ever, prints in this heavy cotton fabric feature plaids, florals, and Early American motifs. Colors Muted Colors in the cotton fabrics are mostly muted. In keeping with the printed patterns, they take their cue from the Scottish tartans of Ions aeo and and from the provincial prints of Early America. Black, receiving new atten tion this year in the chil dren's wear field, is often seen as a background color. It is combined with wine reds, roy al blues, antique greens, gold, and even brown. White trim mings go well with these darker, subdued cottons a trend also found in many of the back-to-school dress pat terns. Accepted as a young silhou ette, the chemise is offered in modified form in styles for the grade-school gamin. Low belts, box-pleated skirts, and long-waisted overblouses characterize . these designs. For the very young first grad er, choose a pattern for a smock with three-quarter length sleeves and a sleeve less, full-skirted dress. Make the smock in a gay cotton print and the dress in a solid color. Other school dresses can be coordinated to the smock. Also flattering to children of grammar school age are the full-skirted shirtwaists which have a Victorian charm about them. These fashions will look enchanting in provincial cot ton prints, trimmed with sparkling white collars, cuffs, and face. Many of the patterns call for attached petticoats, it TYVO-PIECER First graders are as fashion conscious as anyone. She'll feel at the head of her' class in a sleeveless dress in a solid cotton, covered by a bibbed smock in a pretty print The two pieces are styled by McCall's Pattern 8127. which can be made from cot ton pique or organdy to give the skir.ts permanent fullness, Separates Wise Separates, planned for mix ing and matching, always are Wise investments for the ac tive high school or college girl. Blouses, vests, and straight or gored skirts can easily make two and two add up to four or more different outfits! These, items are easy to make, and they offer the girl who is old enough to sew an opportunity to express her personality through a choice of simple patterns, attractive fabrics, and decorative trims. When sewmg for school- aged children, especially-the younger set, select pattern sizes .with special care. Pat terns you are likely to be concerned with are children's, girl's, subteen and teen sizes. For accurate fit, check your child's measurements agamst the chart In the front or back of the pattern book. If altera tions at the waist or shoulder are necessary, make them ac cordtig to directions included with the pattern.- These, of course, are. good rules to fol low in sewing for any age or figure type. Use suggestions on the pat tern envelope as a guide m buying fabrics, notions, and trimmings. Specific yardage requirements, with additional allowance for sewing with corduroy or velveteen, will be listed. If you are making a dress of cotton, the trimmings should be the same. To save time, buy all trimmings and notions when you purchase your pattern and fabric. special collection of early day pictures of Ashland and the "Old Normal" school.
