Garments and home furnishings labeled "flame - re tardant" does not mean the garment will not burn. The phrase "flame - retardant" means that once the source of ignition has been removed from the item the fabric will self - ex tinguish. The clothes we wear provide us with both a physical and psy chological environment - our near est environment. These two envifonments - clothing and home , interest in fabric flammability. The design of clothing can influence the flammability of clothing. Once a fabric is ignited, sufficient oxygen must be present to sustain combustion, thus, full skirts, flowing sleeves and wide pant legs permit oxygen access to both sides of the fabric, making it easier to burn. The high risk persons as far as fire hazards are the elderly and younR children. Reducing the risk of clothing fires raises the cost of clothing and government services and may, require some specialized launder ing procedures. We. the con sumers, should follow the label regarding care instructions. We should also read all "care in structions" before purchasing flame - retarded textiles, to see if there is a correlation with normal laundering procedures. Inquiries from clothing fires can be significantly reduced through commitment of the industry, gov ernment and consumer. Clothing fires are an environmental concern, a concern for all. Check Pressure Canner Can you realize that canning season will soon be here? We want to be ready to save the first surplus of food we have so it is time to have the gauge on your pressure canner checked to be sure it is correct. Raeford Hardware store has equipment to check your canner and the charge is reasonable. Housing Tips By Willie Featherstone, Jr. Asst. Agri. Ext. Agent Except for a fire alarm or a natural catastrophe, nothing strikes more fear into the heart of a home owner than the sudden discovery of a termite infestation. Thankfully, termites are slow eat ers. Even a mature, well estab lished colony of 60,000 workers eat only a fifth of an ounce of wood a day. So take your time. Evaluate your situation. Remember, re search by the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made it possible to control termites. This is the first of a series of articles that will provide the information you need to protect your home from further or future termite damage. FOUR SIGNS OF A TERMITE INFESTATION ?Earth tubes between the soil and some wooden structure under the house is a sure sign of subterranean termites. These tubes can go up the foundation wall, I along plumbing or directly from the soil to the wood. ?Hollow wood underneath will have earth filled galleries, but termites are not always present. ?Piles of fecal pellets on the outside of the finished wood are sure signs of drywood termite attack. Pellets look like sawdust; but upon close examination they appear very symmetrical with six groves along the sides. ?Termite wings on the window sill or the appearance of winged termites in and around the home. Soon after flying, termites lose their wings, so the only evidence they leave is scattered wings. Topic for follow up acicles will be: "Types of Termites." "How to Distinguish Between Flying Ter mites and Flying Ants." and "Most Frequent Danger Areas & Preven tion is the Best Cure." I I I K CHILDREN need their parents. But whit happens when acci dental death tales both parents? The Woodmen has the answer. Their Orphans' Care assistance program. Financial assistance when it's needed most for infants, teens and even college age Please call me. I'll be pleased to discuss our Woodmen Family Fraternity. IB Theodore C. Davit ? ? *15?

A tiny seed can produce pounds of tomatoes; a few dollars worth of grass seed can provide a permanent lawn for the home and 12 pounds of hybrid corn seed can produce more than 100 bushels for a farmer. Purchase from a reputable dealer and make sure you read the tag.
