To get the most from your

children’s clothes, shop for
multiple purpose patterns.
Some patterns have an
entire wardrobe in the same
envelope—dress, coat,
pants, top. Others contain
only one garment pattern,
such as a drgss, but several
versions are shown. A basic
pattern can be made to look

treasures if you are patient

Perhaps more than one
remnant can be combined to

be sure to ask a salesperson
what care the fabric will
need.
Be creative, use your
shelf life of the final product.
Because we can’t always
be sure of all factors, it’s
best to can only enough food
to feed your family from one

While properly processed
and stored goods should be
safe for up to five years, you
should examine carefully
any home canned fbods for
leakage, pinholes or other
signs of spoilage.
If a food looks even
slightly questionable, try the
sniff test. Never taste. When
in doubt, throw it out.
SAFETY AND THE
DEVELOPING CHILD
Children give purpose to
the present and are the key
to the future. They fill our
hves with a joy that only a
child can bring. Yet, we
subject our children to many
unnecessary hazards.
Accidents are the leading
cause of death for all
children 1 to 14 years of age.
Suffocations, falls,
poisonings, drownmgs and
burns cause more deaths to
infants than all diseases
combined. The fire death
rate for children under the
age of 5 is three tunes the
death rate of the rest of the
population. Special reports
by the Consumer Safety
Commission estimate that
hospital emergency rooms
treated 167,000 persons for
playground accidents in
1977.
In another report, the
Commission estimated that
7.000 highchair accidents,
9.000 crib-related accidents
and 135 deaths to children
under 5 by poisoning, hap-
