Walking a hundred pound Great Dane is no easy task.
Most of the time the dog ends up walking the owner, But
Peter Brown of Vanastra has solved the problem. While
driving very slow he can "walk" his dog several miles
each day. (News-Record photo)

Soap, suds and elbow grease
once drove the dirt out of Mon-
day's washing, A bit of blue to
make the whites whiter,
sunlight and a hot iron finished
off the tiresome weekly job, But
according to Consumer Contact
published by the Department of
Consumer and Corporate Af-
fairs, if you try that corn-
bination with today's clothing
you'll end up with a rag collec-
tion. Textiles aren't what they
used to be. Now we have scores
of fibre combinations to weave
with our wools, linens, silks
and cottons, or which are tex-
tiles in their own right.
This has created problems of
identification and understan-
ding for the shopper' And when
these man-made fibres are com-
bined with the traditional
natural fibres, the confusion is
worse than ever.
The Department of Con-
sumer and Corporate Affairs
administers a law called the
Textile Labelling Act. Every
manufacturer or dealer must
use the required labels or his
goods can't be sold; and, after
Jude 1 this week, those labels
have to be permanently at-
tached.
The new label will list the
fibres contained in the fabric,
using the family name for each;
will show the percentage of
each fibre; will identify the
dealer either by name and ad-
dress or by an identification
number which is registered
with the department, If the ar-
ticle is said to be imported, the
label must name the country of
origin.
A system of symbols has been
drafted to tell,,us,ijo„,w kto carp
for the varioug
tsar jtigelPare .ffie,fre'r4dired bey
law. But if you find them help-
ful more and more manufac-
turers will use them. The more
you ask for them on the
clothing you buy, the more of-
ten you'll see them. When the
symbols are green they say "Go
ahead", when red, "Don't"
and when amber, "Be
Careful."
The Explorer Group of

Tuesday May 22 to which

sellors and Rosemary Bird in

Yes - we've been in the game for 25 years now and have seen many changes in the trade.
The "Lumber Yard" then, in 1948, was lust that; with a little office In the corner in which to
transact business. You purchased only lumber, shingles, cement, nails and a few other basic
materials and probably had your millwork made to your specifications. The "Lumber Yard"
now has become "The Home Centre" supplying ail the basic materials for construction as Cash and Carry-10% off invoice before Provincial
before but now supplying hundreds of allied products — hardware, paint, trim, insulation,
panelling, to mention only a few — all displayed in a showroom type store.
Over the years we have kept pace with progress introducing many "Firsts" to Clinton in our
original showroom store at Albert and Princess which itself was among the first In the area. In
our small way we have shared in the growth and progress of Clinton by supplying the Building Provincial Sales Tax.
