CHILDREN, ELDERLY PEOPLE WARNED OF CLOTHING FIRES Most frequent victims of clothing fir^s are children and elderly people. Children's clothing catches^ fire when they are playing with matches, playing around stoves or i are thoroughly dissolved, dip the heaters, and too close to outdoor material or clothing you wish to flameproof the costume on her doll. Here's how it's done: First, perpare a solution of 9 ounces of borax and 4 ounces of boric acid to a gallon of water. If the water is warm, the other ingredients can be mixed more easily. Use a spoon or a rotary beater. When the borax and boric acid Birthdays Miss Audry Weingrad celebrated her birthday on Jan .11. Little Miss Patty Zabroski lit six candles on her birthday cake on Saturday, Jan. 12. Patty was hostess to several of her little friends and received many lovely gifts. Attends Inauguration "Mr. and Mrs. Claude F. McDermott, Joseph Bassett of our village and Miss Nancy Crimmins of Crystal Lake left Sunday morning for Springfiejd to attend the inauguration of^Gov. William Stratton. This group also attended the inaugural'ball Monday evening. fires. Elderly people's clothing catches fire when they use stoves carelessly, warm themselves at fireplaces and radiant, heaters, or fall asleep while smoking. Some clothes, because of the way the cloth is made or because of the style of the garment, are more dangerous than others. Therefore, beware of light weight, loosely fitting clothes, ruffles, flounces, kimono type sleeves, filmy nets and gauze. Also beware of sweaters with brushed long fibres for some ignite easily and burn intensely. Remember that most clothing fires occur because of the wearer's carelessness. Train yourself and your family* always to be careful in the presence of open flames, heaters, stoves and other sources of ignition. Flameproof Attire You can flameproof your child's flameproof. Then wring it out and hang it up to dry. This method can be used on any washable fabric. Moreover, the material can be ironed without affecting the flameproofing. It will remain flameproof until washed. Fabrics so treated will retain their flexibility and softness. However, the flame-retardent qualities are lost when the fabric is washed again, and the process must be repeated after each washing. When Dresses Catch Fire When clothes catch fire--don't run. Throw the victim to the floor and rougher in a rug, a blanket or a coat. Wrap the rug or blanket around the neck first, to keep the poisonous gases of combustion away from the /ace. If no rug, ^lanket or coat is available, roll victim over and flames. 1 Running only fans the flames. Since all fire gases rise, a" victim in an upright position tends to inhale the toxic gases.

You enjoy the person who looks at you. Because of it, TV men created a 'Teleprompter' which runs the message on a board just to the side of the camera. But even then, the eyes of the speaker shifting to one side continually to read, causes the viewers attention to become disturbed. However, now the new 'Optical Outrider* will remove this. The speaker will look right af you and read his lines from a glass coating which is visible to him but not to you. This coated glass with a thin layer of titanium, dioxide will be between him and the TV camera. The message will be projected on the gjass invisible to the TV audience. So, another TV milestone is passed. And so are we at McHENRY TV passing milestones in discovering better and faster methods for maintenance and service.
