FLAME RETARDANT
‘SLEEPWEAR

: D®° you know that virtually
. ali textile articles burn?
- ‘The major cause of ali types of
- fire‘and burn accidents in Can-
ada is carelessness, Many of
these accidents involve textiles
and children, Canada’s Depart-
ment of Consumer Affairs
' reguiates the sale of all textile
* products for-consumer use. All
products must pass a burn test
. which is particularly stringent
for children's nightwear.

When choosing clothing for

the young or elderly, special
attention should be paid to the
construction and fibre content.

Remember that lighter-
welght fabrics, fabrics with a
taised fibre surface (such as
flanneletie), and open weave
fabrics burn. faster, Loase fit-
ling garments with flaring
skirts or slccves,. ruffles and
itimmings ignite more casily
and. burn faster than close fit-
ling, plainly styled garments.

Fibres also have different
characteristics,

Cotton, rayon, linen, acetate
and triacetate will all burn
readily. ,

Nylon, polyester, acrytic,
spandex and polypropylene do
‘not ignite readily, but once
ignited tend to drip. These hot
rops tend lo carry the flames
away from the burning fabric
so that the flame self-

- extinguishes,

Moduecrylic and satan will
not cantinue to burn once the
source of ignition is removed.
_ Wool and silk do not ignite
easily and burn very slowly,

ar ieee

Children’s sleepwear which
has been treated with a flame-
retardant finish is available in
sume stores, The life of such
finishes is limited, but can be
extended by the use of proper
laundering | techniques, This
was proved in independent test-
ing- by Dr. Marjory Joseph,
Chairman of the Department
of Home Economics, Cali-
fornia State University, .

Launderings with carbonate-
based detergents alone suppres-
sed the flame-retardant finish
after 20 launderings, When
Borateem-Plus was added to
the detergent the finish sur-
vived a further 10 launderings,

Laundering with phosphate
detergent alone preserved the
flame retardant finish, but
phosphate detergent combined
with chlorine bleach suppress-
ed the finish al 30 launderings.
Phosphate detergent combined
with Boralcem-Plus main-
tained the flame retardant fin-
ish through 50 launderings,

Strength and appearance te-
tention were also tested during
these experiments.

Conclusion of the testing .

was that Borateem-Plus js a
viable alternative for the use
with phosphate detergents in
retarding the loss of flame re-
lardant finishes. It_is also a
most effective combination for
maintaining fabric color or
whiteness and strength,

WHO TAKES THE GED
TESTS?

GED or General Education
Development tests are designed
for adults who, for some reason
or other, did not complete their
high school education. Even
though they did not complete
their Grade 12, these adults
may be as well educated as
those who did complete grade
12. They may have become
educated through their own
means by reading, on the job
training, or olher methods.

- However, many businesses and
organizalions still require a
grade 12 certificate as a
qualification for certain
positions. Many adults lead a
frustrating existence for the
lack of a grade 12 certificate
which prevents them getting a
job or a promotion. In same
cases there is a considerable
difference in the salary paid to
employees who have and those
who do not have a grade 12
certificate even though they do
the same work, The GED tests
enable an adult to prove he Is
capable to reaching a grade 12
standard in one weekend,

THIS WEEK'S LETTER:, I
have a problem thal { need your
advice on. I'm 12 years old. My
family, if I have one.is good to
everybody but me and my bro-
ther, who isn't home very much,
It's a lot caster for him to live
with them. But me, I was born io
be wild and free. L need the love
my parents won't give me that |
can get from this guy 1 Hke very
much. My brother lives with
him and he's 12. I'm going to run
away —~it's the only (hing to do,

OUR REPLY: Running away
from your problems is not the
answer. You might have been
born wild and free, but you were
also born to be loved, eared far,
appreciated, respected! and disei-

was not the case, you'll have tu

make if on your own. Copping
out and running eway is the easy
way out— or so it seems to yott
now, But running away at your
age will be harder to bear once
you end up living on the streets
and being used by people who
don’t care what happena to you
or how you feel about anything.
Tt may be rough at home, but
we know you can make it, Also
at your age you really can’t ex-
perlence a mature, loving rela-
tionship with this 13 year-old
guy. Show this letter and our re
ply to your parents. Moybe it
will wake them up.

projects which will be for the betterment of all
