LANCASTER With cold
weather already here and people
searching for ways to stay warm,
the National Association of
Hosiery Manufacturers and the
Woolen Hosiery Institute are
suggesting that consumers give
careful consideration to their
clothing needs, and to the natural
characteristics of certain fibers,
like wool. Whether you face
lowered thermostats at home in
the house or barn or in the field
what you wear is certainly an
important part of the effort to fight
off the cold. And cold weather
presents more than just discom
fort; there is also real danger from
over exposure and frostbite
especiaUy when you work in the
fields for a great length of time.
And what you wear, including your
hosiery, deserves important
consideration.
But more people have little or no
understanding of how their bodies
react physically to such weather,
nor do they fully comprehend the
various natural characteristics of
certain apparel items and types of
fibers.
There is an important
relationship between the body, the
environment, and the proper
clothing that should be understood.
By not fully understanding this
relationship, people trying to

Keep warm during cold weather field work
protect themselves often make the
situation worse.
Physically, the human body tries
to maintain a steady temperature
of 98.6 degrees for the comfort and
protection of the major internal
organs. Deviation of this body
temperature by just a few degrees
can cause illness, or even death.
As everyone knows, the body
produces heat on its own through
various body functions and ac
tivities. You are readily aware that
strenuous activities during hot
weather builds up body heat which
is passed off by sweating. But heat
can also be lost simply because the
surrounding temperature is cold
and is reducing the body heat
faster than you can produce it.
Shivering is the usual result, and
a sure sign that people should take
precautions to protect themselves.
Without protection, fatigue,
contusion, djzziness, and loss ot
coordination can occur as the
condition worsens. In extreme
cases of such “over exposure”
death can even occur in less than
an hour.
Naturally, the only real cure for
such cases of extreme “over ex
posure” is to get inside out of the
cold weather. Exercise also
produces body heat, and can ac
i
tually save your life during an
emergency until you reach safety
or help arrives.
■Rut these are *’> 'ct'-'-rn'’ rases,
and what most people are con
cerned about is simply being
comfortable during this period of
cold weather. Proper clothing is
the best defense in combating both
the extremes of exposure to the
outside elements, and the
discomforts of a “chilly” house or
bam.
One should not forget that the
body also can get “over heated”
even in cold weather, and this is
why it is important to choose the
“proper” clothing for the specific
situation. The “layering” of
clothing has long been advocated
as the best idea. This way, layers
can be added or subtracted as
needed to control comfort. The air
trapped between the layers
provides insulation and is heated
by the body.
It is also important to ensure
that the body can “breathe" and
allow moisture to pass through the

fabric and away from the skin,
while moisture from rain or snow
is prevented from entering.
The natural fiber wool has been
the choice of people for years for
many apparel items because it is a
natural insulator for the body from
outside changes in temperature,
and because it absorbs moisture
well and dries from the inside out
so that you do not have wet feeling
next to the skin.
Under normal conditions in
winter, people most often complain
of cold feet and cold hands. While
the torso is somewhat easier to
keep warm, it is more difficult to
keep these extremities up to the
proper temperature.
A lot of people in this weather
move to the use of wool socks. This
will probably suffice for inside
wear, but when moving outside, a
light-weight wool sock covered by
heavier hosiery will go a long way
in keeping your ter* an'*warm

and dry.
The same principale of course
applies to the hands and fingers,
where a pair of wool mittens are
often better than fully-lirted gloves.
In fact,, many people find the best
combination is a pair of light
gloves, covered with wool mittens.
Frostbite is an ever-present
danger during winter, and most
often affects the area around the
hands, feet, and face. Frostbite is
actually the freezing of water
between the cells of the body which
results in the formation of ice
crystals. It is extremely dangerous
and painful and once should not
take chances during periods of
extreme cold.
The combination of proper
clothing and common sense is
probably your best guard against
the elements of winter. The proper
use of apparel items, including
hosiery, is always wise.
