Consumers Want to Know by MARGARET SPADER Director of Consumer Affairs National Association of Manufacturers As Christmas comes to you this year, we warmly wish that it may bring a holy meaning ever deeper, hopes ever brighter, and joyous blessings ever richer. HOME DAIRIES OF OREGON, INC There are a number of proc essed foods that don’t list ingredients on the label. Isn't there a law requiring a list ing ? There are around 200 basic food items that have standards of identity (a recipe set by Federal law.) These foods are not required to list all ingredients on the label. They include such foods as bread, mayonnaise, salad dressing, canned fruits and vegetables, jams and jel lies, etc. However, if a sub stitute is made for any in gredient, the product must be labeled "imitation” and all ingredients must be listed on the package. Artificial colors and flavors and chemi cal preservatives must also be identified. Are imitation foods inferior in nutritive value to natural foods? Not necessarily. If jam or jelly is made with less sugar than required by the stand ard of identity, it must be labeled ‘‘imitation’’ because it does not conform to the recipe set by law. Another example is regular margar ine. It must contain at least 80 per cent fat imitation margarine has only 40 per cent, making it lower in cal- ories. Food packages seem to be getting harder to open. Does industry think of the con sumer when designing pack ages? Manufacturers have given considerabl? thought to open ing and closures on food packages. But they must also design packages strong enough to resist breakage.

Now buttons can be attached with a twist in stead of needle and thread. This patented procedure turns buttons into wardrobe accessories which can be changed by a twist of the wrist. Discs molded of Du Pont’s "Zytel” nylon resin are permanently sewn to the garment and buttons may be interchanged in order to harmonize with the apparel of the day. A conservative dark busi ness suit jacket becomes a blazer for informal attire by a switch to shiny metal but tons. Ladies dramatically change the appearance of their clothes by matching buttons with scarves or hats. With the year coming almost full circle, we once again have the pleasure of extending the greetings of the Well-loved carols fill the air as happily, we celebrate Christmas. To one and all, our wishes for a season filled with the harmony of peace and joy. Nyssa Machine & Welding MORRISON ELECTRIC CO C hristmas .
