Neutralize Thai Death Box A dozen or more American chil dren will not be returning to school tfjis fall or. lor that matter, ever again. They'll have died, gasping for breath, in un old, discarded icebox or freezer which someone forgot vt make harmless. Don't let that itomeone be you. , The pattern is now familiar. An Icebox, refrigerator, freezer, or some other airtight container, is either abandoned or stored in a root where it's found by children. It looks like a good spot to play. Once the heavy door Is closed. it automatically locks. The child cannot be seen; his screams cannot be heard. Inside the com partment it's dark, so he yells and pounds on the door, exhausting the meager air supply. The box has become his death trap. It happens every year to from 10 to 30 youngsters, often several at once. And, unless there is public awareness, the problem seems bound to get worse. What can you do to prevent this? You can render these death traps harmless by using the following mean.s: If the box will be used for stor age purpo.se s, remove the gasket from the door and bore some holes in the cabinet. If the box Is to be disposed of, remove the door en-, tirely, or at least remove the gasket, hinges and latch. Even i better yet, destroy the box com pletely. Take part in local campaigns to find such hazards neglected by 1 others. And remember to teach your children never to go Inside one. ENTRANCE enhancement for college is handsome luggage.

Scan These Guldeposts To Career Choice How do you pick a carepr? It might pny to study the gov ernments list of critical occupa tions. This good indicator of the national labor picture echoes the cry of industry across the country. t or several years now, according to statistics, mere nas been a se vere shortage of engineers in al most all engineering fields. There Is a continued need for physicians and surgeons. And the teaching field has many wide gaps In its supply. Needs range from aircraft me chanics to veterinarians. In ad dition, there is a constant turn over in almost nil occupational lines, including white-collar po sitions. About one in every eight nt our people is engaged in some sort of clerical occupation. Many fields are expanding. Most are holding their own. Only a few nre declining. There are excellent opportunities In the building trades and in the various branches of the medical profession. Modern trends and equipment make some sort ot special edu cation necessary. Many of the larRcr high schools across the country offer courses and training in specialized fields, and there are special trade schools, ait schools, music schools, etc. Students can gam some sort of guidance and counsel by writing to their state departments of edu cation. There they can find out what their states have to otfer in the way of specialized training and how they mn take advantage of it. The college picture: hundreds of schools across the nation deal either wholly or in part with spe cialized students. Directories of these schools ran be found on the shelves of most public libraries. catalons explaining what courses are given and what kinds of scholarship funds are available. These institutions of higher learn ing range in coveinge from ntirl cultutal colleges to theological seminaries. Each year, tens of thousands ot students brum their specialized study careers within these walls. In addition, scores of Institution.; are available for those interested in architecture, ait. forestry, and oilier less-extensive helris. Some of these areas are over Clouded. There is an abundance of lawyers, for example. Prospec tive Journalists will now find thif field crowded. If you want to be a R.iraae mechanic, however, ynu can net liaininii on the jnh.

Nothing revives the Interest young ladies have in clothes like ihe return to school. Gals who ha-e been slopping around in blue Jeans all summer suddenly develop an urge to spend money. Girl, who abhor clothes generically start pes tering mother for a couple of new dresses. This return of interest stimulates designers. Never are clothes more unusual and attractive than they, are on the racits in the late sum mer and early fall. . , V-ool, as aJways, has a high Dlace i in school fashions. Handsome tweeds and plaids from English and Scottish fabric mills, many of them authentic clan tartans, are being maoe -up in youthful an durable styles. In an investment liVe a winter coat, durability of style is important, for it may have to do for several winters. Bermuda shorts and knee skirts ire popular again this year. These trim sporty styles are far neater than haphazard casual wear, but don't go into the domin of the impractical. A suggestion to go with the Ber muda circular skirts are seamless knee-length nylon s toe Kings such as those by Hanes. Wool appears in slimmer lines doubtless the influence of Paris' softened look. Fullness, where it's present, starts at the hips for a long-torso look. Despite all the interest in dresses knee pants and Jumpers, the sweater and skirt Is ever pres ent. They've been modified pared down in width and extended to a longer line. The look is slim rather than boxy. Tl e sweater's second cousin, the wool Jersey blouse,' appears with slim shoulders and long sleeves that taper Inward to the wrist. Armholes are set in close to permit wearing with jumpers. CRISP and appropriate for a very young thing is this cot ton jumper and blouse, made from three feed bags. Coiton has come of age and no1 appears as a real element on the winter scene, a turnabout, no j doubt, to wool's invasion of the 1 summer fashion world. Coiton is easy for the home sewer to manip ulate and is tne or iff inn I washable fabric. Many mothers of youngster keep their kids in it a large per centage of the time. Cotton packaging In the 100- pound size provides one and a third yaras of colcrfa.st fabric. Many women have utilized this homey aid for clothes. In the high er styles, pedal pushers and a sur plice blouse can be carved out of a couple of these bags. A sensible homemade dress Is ftUfftt LliMcD wirn wool ana aipoca, "Zelan" car coat it warm, durable, water repellent. AI.L-WOOL knit dress is an adult favorite, now appearing in teen styles. Floral pattern makes it youthful. suggested by the Pfaff Sewing In stitute, the "grow dress" for young girls. It a a Jumper with a wide elanticiced waistband and a deep hem. It's the same front and back for easy morning dressing. l-'or teeners who sew for them selves, the Singer people suggest neiiiles5 felt co-ordinates for gal and steady. One of their ideas is a subtle coordination of a diamond appliqued skirt with a diamond appliqued vest, in reverse colors. When they're- together. It's obvious they match. When apart, who knojvs' Rayon moves into school wear this fall. For the very young young lady. Tiny Town uses Avisco Ray on for a woven plaid dress that's pert as a hair ribbon. For little boys, Chips and Twigs uses It with acetate for a man-tailored suit. Processing Is a big element for rchool-agers because of their love for dirt and soil. A new static proof dry-cleaning process will mane clothes unclingy and less de vir.ely attractive to little flecks of lint. This development, still pret ty secret, Is available to certified dry-cleaners and should be gen erally found soon. It 'may mean the death of the clothing brush. Another kind of processing is Du Pont's Zelan, which builds wash ability into tough outdoor clothes. Raincoats, snowsuits, Jackets and toppers come with this process and can prevent those constantly-black knees on snowsuits and pants. Shopping for school clothes is a very special kind of shopping. Shopping for youngsters means searching for deep hems, sturdy seams and non - spot - sbowin; fabrics. For the teens. It means what everyone else is wearing. If mother buys something because she likes il. she needn't expect Sis to wear it unless her pals do. FITTED Cameron coat ' of fluffy tlub weave British tweed is suitable for a sub teen and stylish enough to please her. BETTER than blue jeans for many are this year's favorites, Bermuda shorts.
