There are times when only hand sanding is delicate enough to perform certain tariu, such as the smoothing bUwuou coats and the final finishing process.

Whether refiniahing is Just a hobby or a serious way of restor­ ing furniture or other objects, a knowledge of the various fends of sandpaper can help you m»km the proper selections. Of course, ss you probably know, although it isn't really important whether or not you do, sandpaper con­ tains no sand. It is a mineral abrasive attached to a backing that is usually paper but is sometimes cloth or some other material Here is a list of the most commonly used sand­ papers or abrasive papers: Flint -- Made of imite quarts. cheape* of the abrasives, as efficient as the others.

In same cases, the surest way to do very light san­ ding is to apply the tiniest bit of pressure with your hand and not use a sanding block at all. When this is done, care must be exer­ cised not to apply uneven pressure by pressing down harder with one or more fingers.

By Florence De Santis NEW YORK (NEA) - It's obvious that creams help protect the face skin against the cold and winds of winter. But1 even lipstick doesn't seem to keep the lips from becoming dry and chapped. Lip "skin" is actually mucous membrane, which needs special protection. Lips need a water-in-oil preparation. They need a sunblock, because they can burn but not tan, having no fnelanin. A medicated lip ointment should contain a sunscreen, especially if you're going skiing or to a southern resort. It's a good idea to add to your winter creams a spe­ cial lip treatment such as Blistex. It comes in a handy tube, or in a stick form called Blistix, or in a jar ointment. The Blistex oint­ ment has long been a cold sore and blister remedy and has a petrolatum base rather than the wax neces­ sary for a stick. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE A88N .) WHETHER SKIING or during your daily routine, win­ ter hits your complexion. Give lips special treatment with medicated Blistex Lip Conditioner in the jar, carry the stick for reapplications. Acting as a harrier to wind and cold, it also has a sunscreen. compete NEW YORK (AP) - Apparel creations by 10 students from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology wil be featured as the only American entries in Paris this winter in an interna­ tional competition for young designers. - The competition, "Concours dee Jeunes Createurs de Mode," will also include the works of stu­ dent designers from France, Ita­ ly and Japan.

Later they would go shopping for a vaporizer. As she stepped dripping from the shower, she heard him cry a lit­ tle. Connie immediately moved to hold and comfort him, a habit she had acquired in the month since they'd brought him home from the hospital special care unit. Sud­ denly he stopped crying, took a breath, struggled briefly, then became limp ancl gray. Connie screamed. She instantly regained control and began applying CPR, which she had learned at San Diego's University Hospital. After several minutes of mouth to mouth resus­ citation, she heard a slow heart­ beat, and soon the baby began breathing again. Training in infant cardiopul­ monary resuscitation (CPR) now is routine for parents who are about to take their newborns home from University Hospital. It began two years ago as part of a ^o^pw-up program for parents of premature infants who had spent their earliest weeks or months in the Special Care Unit. Such infants are at special risk of ceasing to breathe--from con­ ditions associated with their prematurity, or for no,apparent reasdrf'at all. This mysterious cause of infant death/is sometimes wmm FOLLOW-LP PROGRAM --Pediatric nurse practitioner Julie Novak (right), of (JC San Diego Medical Center, coordinates a long- term, follow-up care program for infants born at risk. With March of Dimes help, the program is designed to help the babies reach their full potential. called Sudden Infant Death Syn­ drome (SIDS). The March of Dimes helps sup­ port the special follow-up pro­ gram overseen by Dr. Louis Gluck, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. "Follow-up begins the day a baby is born," according to Dr. Allen Merritt, medical director of thefoHow-up clinic, and program coordinator Julie Novak, pedi­ atric nurse practitioner. They begin plans for discharge and follow-up sometimes months be­ fore a baby leaves the hospital. Dr. Merritt also is on the board of the National SIDS Foundation. Aided by March of Dimes funding, classes are held regular­ ly, before and after the babies leave the hospital, and babies are seen after discharge not only for physical examination, but to evaluate behavioral progress. Ms. Novak also meets with mothers at a monthly parent-support group in a local church playroom to discuss problems in an informal setting. Infant CPR training first was jMided to tWeproy am for parents of such babies as Jonathan Gor­ by. who was born three months ahead of time and weighed in at two pounds, six ounces. Babies born too soon and too small, or with other birth defects, are at greater risk than normal babies of breathing accidents such as SIDS. Even after "graduating" from the hospital's intensive care nursery and considered ready for discharge, they are more likely to develop later problems. Their parents are justifiably concerned. The training they receive at University Hospital (and other hospitals which have followed suit) helps relieve their fears about being able to take care of their B^kbies should emergencies arise. CPR classes meet regularly at tne hospital. Parents hear talks, watch training films, and practice CPR on a lifelike plastic baby doll. They are given pamphlets and educational materials to keep at home. Connie Gorby had learned adult CPR. but she realized that adult techjjfcjiues would over­ whelm JH^Sfant. She readily agrees that compulsory infant CPR training is important to every parent of a newborn. Jonathan was found to have a problem with scar tissue in his trachea, possibly from the very tubes that had been used to bring oxygen to his lungs and keep him alive. Surgeons were able to cor­ rect the condition, and Jonathan now is an active, healthy compa­ nion to his older sister, Christina. As with Jonathan, other infants recently have escaped death or severe disability, and countless others will be saved, thanks to a follow-up program that "begins the day the baby is born," and the March of Dimes, which helped make the program possible. /GIVE THE GIFT YOU'LL RECEIVE TWICE A WEEK 52 TIMES A YEAR ...THE MchENRY PLAINDEALER AT $5, NEWR IN AULT DEALER RRINGTON!
