Bulletin Adds
Warning About -Plastic
Bags
Washington, D.C. 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.

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."

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,

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.
