—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 23, 1973 30 Flame-Resistant (Continued *rotn Page 15) textile burnability since flame retardant and flame-resistant terms are important factors in choosing clothing for all family members and household textiles such as blankets, mattresses, and carpets. The study found, in general, that homemakers know how to take proper care of flame- retardant sleepwear. Eighty seven percent of the consumers said they would wash such sleepwear in automatic washers. Four-fifth said they would use a medium or high level phosphate detergent. Only nine percent indicated they would use bleach Specific instructions for washing are printed on care labels of all such children’s sleepwear. Any good detergent is recommended, especially with a relatively high phosphorous content. Soaps and nonphosphate detergents should be avoided since residue from washing will remain on the fabric to make it more flammable. Chlorine bleach should also be avoided since it makes the fabric more burnable. The survey also found that 80 percent of the housewives were not familiar with a federal standard regarding flame resistant carpets and rugs. All rugs and carpets manufactured in the U. S. since 1971 must pass a flame test to be sold. Ninety percent of the homemakers in dicated they they did not own flame-retardant carpets or rugs. As of this June, federal stan dards also require that mat tresses be flame-retardant. Along this line, the study found strong interest among homemakers in having mat tresses, blankets, and kitchen curtains resistant to flames. In addition, 70 percent of the mothers thought it important to have girls’ dresses and boys’ slacks and shirts made of flame resistant fabrics. The analysis, still in preliminary stages, is part of a regional research project un dertaken by the Agricultural Experiment Stations at state universities in the six nor theastern states of Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.

Never On Sundae At the turn of the century, many people thought that soda water was actually in toxicating. Perhaps the basis for their judgment was the giggling and smiling ice cream soda sipping inspired. Whatever the reason, Evans ton, 111., took action and passed a law prohibiting the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. One clever fountain operator found a way to get around the law by serving ice cream plus syrup minus the soda water.

It was definitely in pop ular demand at the Franklin Institute Celebration in Phil adelphia in 1874. One of the concessionaires ran out of flavorings for his soda water. He made a quick ice cream purchase intending to melt it down and substitute it as a flavoring. However, the customers were buying the soda water so fast that the ice cream didn’t have time to melt. The concessionaire took things in stride and served the soda water with the floating chunks of ice cream... much to the delight of his customers. Thus, the ice cream soda was bom. lODELS 357, '352 f 354i Ph. 786-2895 LANCASTER FARMING ADS P A Agh-1 US. PROVIDES 01 THE TOTAL WORLD MARKET FOR AGRtCUI PRODUCTS...
