Shirts Make Excellent Gift
It
RALEIGH - Shim make an
excellent gift for a man at
Christmas time or any time,
tf you're planning to bay shim
for the man In your life, whe
ther he be husband, ton or
friend, these shopping sugges
tions from Mrs. Ruby Miller,
extension clothing specialist,
North Caroline state Univer
sity, may help you make a
wise selection.
When shopping, youll find a
greater variety of shim avall
I able this year than ever before,
Mrs. Miller notes. Dress and
,? work shirts, as well as sport
shim, are out In a full array
of styles, colors and finishes.
Collar styles vary even in
white business shim, so you'll
want to select the collar style
that Is becoming to the man
who wQl wear the shirt. Sharp
pointed collars with little
spread between the points of the
collar tend to lengthen the face
and figure, she said, on the
other hand, wide spread col
lars with short round points
help to fill out a thin face, if
the man has a short thick neck,
I H MWhhW tea* ?ee

points on s low-set collar or
If he has a think neck and
face die higher-set collars are
better.
Another thing you need to do is
learn to Judge quality. Mrs.
Miller indicated you can Judge
quality In the following ways:
by checking for even and closely
spaced stitching along the edges
of the cuffs and along the front
panel; by looking to see If
buttonholes are sturdy, neat and
not raveling; by extmlnlng the
shirt back to see that gathers
or pleats are over the shoul
ders to provide fullness; by
seeing that the buttons are clear
smooth, round and uniform In
thickness and by checking to
see that the sleeves are cut in
one piece so they are easy
to Iron and neat In appearance.
Much of the quality Is hid
den beneath the pins used to
keep shirts neatly folded, Mrs.
Miller points out. If you unfold
the shirt, you can see the in
side differences In cut and con
struction between high and low
grade shirts. However, the man
or boy may prefer a certain
brand" name and he will be fa
miliar with and approve the
quality of that brand shirt.
There are many different
fabrics to choose from, Includ
ing the regular 100 per cent
combed cottons, the 100 per cent
cottons with a durable press
finish, and blends with and with
out the durable press finish.
Many men prefer the 100 per
cent polyester fiber shins.
These can be washed and placed
on a hanger to dry or even
dried In an automatic dryer.
No pressing Is needed. Col
lars hold their shape like new.
In many ways, choosing a
man's shin Is similar to choos
ing a blouse for yourself. YouH
want to consider his other clo
thes, his coloring and the oc
casions on which he'll wear
the garment.
It you choose with care, he'll
wear It often and for a long
time, Mrs. Miller predicts.

Department Is shown chopping his way Into the
smoke filled home of Mrs. Marie Cooper. The
fire apparently started from a faulty flu and
was detected and the alarm turned in by a
neighbor before Mrs. Cooper was aware of the
fire. The quick thinking of all concerned parties
held damage to a minimum. (Photo by Ruth Wells)

ines toys is one of the happiest
sounds of the holiday.
That this glee may endure
for many hours of play, with
learning benefits as well as
Joys for the pre-schooler,
guidance in selecting toys Is
offered by a new booklet,
"Playtools to Shape a Child's
World."
The booklet is available free
from Playskool Research, P.O.
Box 3342, Merchandise Mart,
Chicago, 111.
The pre-school child should
have toys that permit him to
imitate, to build, to engage In
dramatic play, to exercise his
skills, muscles, emotions and
Imagination and to Join in so
cial play when he Is ready, the
booklet points out.
Other criteria for choosing
pre-school toys include:
1. Durability. Playtools
should be sturdy, soundly con
structed of durable materials
such as wood or unbreakable'
plastic.
2. Safety. Paints should be
non-toxic, and all edges, sur
faces and parts should be fin

3. Construction and Design.
A good pre-school toy "works."

or makes a sound ? easily
and with repeated use.
4. Size. Toys large enough
to handle help develop muscle
coordination.
