4B —THE CAROLINA TXMSS SATURDAY, JULY B, 11*7 Survivors of Fire in Store jm yjFjjM NEW YORK (CFN)—Fire! When tamed it can be one of mankind's greatest blessings. When on the rampage, it can spell death, destruction and untold pain. The headlines are familiar: "Girl Dies As Clothes Cptch on Fire" . . . "Pajamas Ignite, Boy Seriously Burned" . . . "Burning Robe Kills Woman Clothing fires claim an estimated 2,000 Americans killed annually and an additional 250,000 injuries re quiring medical attention. The figures may be higher because no central agency is responsible for reporting statistics. But one thing is certain: in creased public attention is being focused on the problem of cloth ing fires. The Federal Trade Commis sion is initiating a study of cloth ing flammability, particularly children's clothing, and the Unit ed States Senate Commerce Com mittee is holding hearings to amend the Flammable Fabrics Act. Meanwhile, last December, some of the problems were dis cussed at a recent Conference on Burns and Flame Retardant Fab rics at the New York Academy of Medicine attended by repre sentatives of the textile and ap parel industries, government, safety organizations, and the Prize Missouri Recipes Perhaps the most famous recipe from Missouri is the one for PREMIUM Saltine Crackers, the largest selling cracker in the U»ited States if not in the world. The recipe originated some ninety years ago in the Mis souri town of St. Joseph. The F. L. Sommer and Company, a candy and baking company entered their "XXX" soda cracker in the St. Joseph's County fair where it took first prize and was judged "Pre mium" in the soda cracker category. The company, distri buting its products primarily in the Missouri Valley, became part of the American Biscuit Compcny which eventually, in 1898, merged with three other companies to form National Biscuit Company. The basic recipe and method of production has changed little since 1876 except that, today, an electronic control panel con trols the mixing of ingredients. The list of ingredients or for mula used for the thin-crisp saltines now being produced reads like this: about a thou sand pounds of flour, some 35 gallons of water, one pound of yeast, 10 pounds of salt, varying amounts of soda (up to 12 pounds depending on the climate of the bakery ), and almost 100 pounds of shortening. Crushed saltines combined with butter and basil form the topping for this second prize recipe which features two of Missouri's top income producers. 2 cups cubed, cooked ham (about 3 1 pound) 2 cups fresh corn kernels 3 eggs, beaten 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 3 teaspoon salt V* teaspoon ground white pepper • One o1 a series of timely Tire Tips to help you eet more deoendeble service from your tiraa.

Of 179 clothing ignitions analyzed in the study, 37 V, required skin grafts and extensive surgery, while only 6'„ of those whose clothing did not burn required surgery and hospitalization. Dr. Prindle noted, "Wool fibers are comparatively flame resistant in their natural state . . . Wool is not often found among fibers worn by individuals involved in severe clothing burns. Wool, how ever, is not the only fabric used in the manufacture of clothing." George L, Drake. Jr., of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, stated that the melting of nylon when ignited and its sticking to the skin can be more dangerous than the flame itself because the resulting burns are so difficult to treat. Louis Segal, Fire Prevention Engineer, advocated a national law requiring that certain fabrics carry a warning label right on the garment. He added that "You SiHUSiIG HAM AND CORN CUSTARD V* cup butter or margarine, melted 2 cups light cream or milk 1 cup crushed PREMIUM Saltine Crackers (about 24 crackers) Vt teaspoon basil leaves Parsley sprigs f ing store these pure wool dresses were al- I most undamaged. Charring at the shoul- VI der area occurred when fire melted plas tic "protective" covers. Severe skin burns can result from this type of melting in synthetic fiber garments. • * * could exempt garments that didn't need such a label, for instance, wool or an adequately treated garment.'' When selecting apparel, remem ber clothing design is an import ant factor in safety against fire. Relatively close fitting apparel resists burning while loose fitting garments such as robes and gowns are particularly danger ous. Flame retardant treatments for cotton and synthetic fabrics still have many problems —lack of permanence, high cost or harsh ness to the touch. It may not be possible for some time to meet all your clothing needs in pure wool or other fire resistant fabrics, so be especially careful of cigarettes, looking ranges and other sources of ig nition when wearing clothing that may be flammable. And if you use a blanket to put out a fire make sure it is wool—or you may be adding fuel! Vets Questions and Answers Editor'* Note: B«k>w are au thoritative answers by the Vet erans Administration to lome of the many current questions from former aervieemen and their families. Further informa tion on veterans benefits may be obtained at any VA office. Q. —I am separated from my husband. However, he aays ha will continue me as the princi pal beneficiary on hia National Service Life Insurance policy if I agree to pay the premiums. If I agree to thia, ia there any way I can be sure he wont change beneficiariea without my knowing it, A. No. The insured may change the beneficiary on his policy at any time without the beneficiary's knowledge or consent. If you go along with your husband's suggestion you'll have to gamble on his good intentions. Q. —I am a World War n veteran with a SIO,OOO NSL In surance policy. My policy num ber is prefixed with the let ter "H". All my friends have policies with a "V" prefix, and they get a dividend every year, rve never received a dividend and I'd like to know why. A —Policies with "H" num-1 Says Children Clothes Should Fit the First Time They're Worn RALElGH—Children's clothe* should fit the first time they're worn, rather thin be "frown Into," points out Dorothy Bar rier, extension clothing spe cialist, North Carolina State Univeraity. So when buying children's garments, look for these stra tegic points, she suggests. Shoulder seams should be at the shoulder line, not droop ing over the shoulder bone: waistlines should be midway between the hip bone and th« end of the rib cage; pants legs and sleeves shouldn't "drag."" "When selecting a pattern tor a dress, blouse or skirt, choose the pattern lize closest to your child's measurement," the specialist advises. "Never use age as a determining fac tor." Children the same age differ widely in height, weight end build. Miss Barrier observes. Take waist and length measure ment any necessary adjust ments of pattern should be North Carolina Highway Patrol Encourages Use of Seat Belts RALEIGH The Highway Patrol is responding to a re quest by the Public Health Service to encourage motorists to use their seat belts. "Beginning July 1, the Pa trol will include in their re ports to news media informa tion about whether an accident victim was wearing a seat belt. These reports will become a permanent part of accident in vestigation," Colonel Charles A. Speed, Patrol Commander, saM. Dr. Richard E. Marland, Chief of the Injury Control Program with the Public Health Service, has asked North Caro lina Troopers to join other state enforcement agencies across the nation in providing seat belt data to the press. "The news media reports on accidents are a direct point of contact with the general pub lic," Dr. Marland said. "If these reports tell whether seat belts are used In covering a specific accident, it will em phasize, by example, their im portance." Colonel Speed said Troopers bers are non participating poli cies and no dlvidenda are pay able on such insurance. "H" in surance is a special type which was issued between August 1, IM6 and December 31, IMB The requirement of good health was waived because of a service incurred disability; thus no dividend is accumu lated or paid because of the higher insurance risk. Q. —I am a Viet-Nam service man hospitalised pending re tirement. I have recently ap plied for Vocational Rehabili tation and understand I will be rated for service-connected disabilities by the Veterans Administration before I am dia charged. Whs'. I want to know la, will this rating aet the one year period I will have to ap ply for service disabled vete rans insurance? A.—No. The rating made by the Veterans Adminiatration before you are discharged is an administrative rating made to determine your entitlement to Vocational Rehabilitation. Your one year period for ap plying for service disabled vet erans' insurance will com mence by the VA subsequent to your discharge. made before you cut the fafc ric. For a boy's or girl's pants pattern, chooae the size that ia cloaeat to your child's waist measurement, the specialist suggests. One way to determine the natural waistline is to tie a string snugly around the waist line, Miss Barrier indicates. Unless your child Is unsually tolerant, avoid the use of pins when fitting. It is best to baste by machine or by hand. If you want a dress to last more than one aeason, you can cleverly allow for growth where it won't show or change the style and fit. Miss Barrier explains. Add several inches to the skirt length and take a deep tuck just above the hem's edge. If the dress has a waist line, it's sometimes possible to put a tuck at the walatline seam. Looae pleats can be placed at the shoulders and re leased as the child grows. have usually included that in formation when reporting to news media in the past. "But beginning July 1, such Infor mation will be a regular part of all accident investigation re ports," he added. Speed said the Patrol has al ways had excellent cooperation fro mnews media in North Car olina with projects such as this. "We are cetraia that newa media reports on accident* can help emphasise the Importance of using seat belts when they include the information we sup ply them in their stories," Col onel Speed said. The Public Health Service already has embarked on a campaign to acquaint the na tion's news media with the im portance of Including seat belt data intheir stories on acci dents. -Convention Continued from page SB vision presentations (live) from the Homer G.

Don't go into a tailspin.- The idea has possibilities. Dare them into a self-improvement session. It's sure to be good for a lot of laughs, too! Turn it into a contest and everybody will be hooked. It will also keep the little ones oc cupied. They can muddle along imitating the others. " Of course, aM of you need a good sunscreen that will filter out the burning rays of the sun and let the tanning ones through, plus moisturizing to counteract ugly flaking and peeling. There is a new moisturing bronztan lotion so that those who really desire a tan can make the most of it. The exercises are from a Dell purse book, which has many more of the same. Try to get the gang together at least twice a week on the exercise routine. Ten minutes only at first, work up to a half hour. Good Luck!
