There is some confusion as to whether or not all children's sleepwear now on sale meets the federal flammability standard. The standard went into effect last July and some people interpreted this to mean that after that date all children's sleepwear is fire­ proof. This is not so. You still must read the label carefully. Currently, there are three types of sleepwear^as far as flamma­ bility goes,: J^rst, garments manu­ factured before July 30, 1972, can still be sold even though they do not meet the standard. This type of sleepwear can be sold until sworn into office for the 93rd Congress. Following the official business of the opening day, Anderson observed that the November elections strongly indicate that the public wants peace and rational federal spending. In predicting that the new Congress will endeavor to reassert its authority, An­ derson said, "Let's hope that reasoned judgment, not par­ tisan politics, will be the motivating factor in congressional consideration of federal spending and foreign policy." Anderson forecast that the 93rd Congress would be an active one. Ms mi 'mm: im.. vmf n, m with THE COUNTRY CLUB (Open To The Public At All Times) TUESDAY NIGHT. . . .

They're one of the easiest ways to save. Just sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan where you work, ̂ hen an amount you specify will be automatically set aside from your paycheck and used to buy Bonds.

Sleepwear manufactured after July 30, 1972, that does not meet the flammability standard is label­ ed: "Flammable (Does not meet U.S. Department of Commerce Standard DOC FF-3-71). Should Not Be Worn Near Source of Fire." Garments that do meet the flammability standard will carry that information on the label. These garments are also labeled with care instructions that will keep the fabric flame-retardant. Trade Balance?
