Mrs, Cottrell said she thinks
Exeter is "equally as
progressive" as Lindsay, a town
of about 12,004 and she is very
pleased with the more than am-
ple shopping facilities.
She said the children have

taking figure skating lessons .
Both Mr. and Mrs. Cottrell enjoy
curling, and have joined the
curling club.
Mrs. Cottrell said she is kept
quite busy with her children, but
in her spare time, she enjoys
needlepoint and fine petitpoint.
She also does quite a bit of

Have you ever gone out on a
shopping spree and come home
with a new dress, only to realize
that you have absolutely no idea
how to clean or care for the
product? The tags have either
been lost, or were never there in
the first place and even if they
had been, they don't always tell
you what you should know.
And what about you men? Have
you ever gone to get your
favorite sweater out of the
drawer and found it about two-
thirds the size it should be? Your
poor wife must have washed it
once too often and you're left
holding the remains,

Exeter four weeks, but she says
she feels right at borne here, "I
feel like I've lived in Exeter all
my life," she said.
Mrs, Cottrell's husband, lion is
the new manager of Victoria and
Grey Trust and has been in the
area about two months. But Mrs,
Cottrell and the children, Colin,
9, Elizabeth, 4, and Angela, 2,
came later.
They moved from Guelph,
where they lived for about one
and a half years, and were in
Lindsay for two and one-half
years before that, so they have
made three moves in the last four
years.
Mrs. Cottrell said she really
likes 1 xeter, and would like to
stay here indefinitely, but it is
difficult to say when another
transfer might come up for her
husband, "But when you find
some place you like, you want to
stay there," said Mrs. Cottrell,
Both Mr. and Mrs. Cottrell are
originally from Toronto, so it is
quite a change for them to live in

LUGGAGE
. . Always Appreciated
More than 200 friends and
relatives gathered at Taxandria
recently to honor Harold and
and the study of clothing and
textiles is a very important facet
of the program.
It is no longer just the study of
clothing construction, however,
but touches on things you may
never even have thought of, such
as flammability of textiles and
their ability to absorb noise.
And they are completely in
sympathy with the difficulty of
the consumer in keeping up with
the endless changes that are
taking place within the textile
industry.
So toward this end, the con-
sumer specialists at Guelph have
been commissioned by the Jul or-
illation and Public Relations
Branch of the federal Depart-
ment of Consumer and Corporate
Affairs to conduct a five-year
study on the consumer's
knowledge of textiles and their
care. The study will measure the
consumer's levels of knowledge,
his uncertainty and his sources
and uses of information about
textile fibres and their care,
It is felt (and rightly so, from
my point of view) that with the
increasing variety and complexi-
ty of products and increasing
sophistication of production
practices, it is difficult for con-
sumers to intelligently choose
clothing and textiles.
Consequently, the Department
of Consumer and Corporate Af-
fairs has introduced the Textile
Fibre Identification Act, which
takes effect December 1. It will
require manufacturers to specify
the type of material contained in
the product, with the generic, as
well as the brand name listed. In
addition, the voluntary care
labelling program for textile
products has also been initiated.
As you have probably dis-
covered, fabric care is impor-
tant, and there is a big difference
between a dry-cleaning and a
gentle hand wash on certain
fabrics. (It can also have a big
effect on your home life, if you
happen to shrink your husband's
favorite sweater).
But to remove spots and stains
carefully and successfully takes
some kind of wizard. You have to
make a guess as to what solvent
will do the job for a particular
stain, which often can't be iden-
tified, You have to know just how
much to use — enough to clean
the fabric, but not enough to eat
right through it — without
ruining the fabric or the finish.
There are two types of dry
cleaning solvent, petroleum and
solvent. Petroleum solvents are
from the gasoline family and
therefore, flammable. Synthetic
solvents are not necessarily
flammable.
But the two cannot always be
used interchangeably.
Students and researchers at
the University of Guelph have
been doing quite a bit of work on
the flammability of textile
fabrics. The annual economic
loss in terms of mortality caused
from burn injuries cannot be
accurately assessed, but recent
data from the United States es-
timates the loss in that country
between $350 and $650 million,
At Guelph. concern lies not so
much with the elimination of
extremely flammable fabrics,
but rather with the materials
used in the manufacture of the
ordinary everyday garments
worn by millions of people, Many
fabrics used in clothing, bedding,
draperies, and upholstery ignite
easily and burn rapidly when
exposed to flame or other
sources of ignition.
Other materials can melt right
into the skin when burned, and
this is another major source of
injury.
They have established testing
methods for the determination of
ease-of-ignition and the rate at
which fabrics burn, and have
assessed the effectiveness of cer-
tain flame retardants applied to
fabrics.

Township on the occasion of their
40th wedding anniversary.
The evening began with a
dinner at which John Prance,
Exeter, Harold's 94-year-old
father, asked the blessing.
Following the dinner, Cliff
Moore, Exeter proposed a toast
to the bride and groom. Beatrice
Clark read an address in the form
of is poem which had been
composed by Mrs, Noreen
Clemens, and the couple were
presented with a television.
Dancing followed, and the
evening was brought to a close by
a smorgasbord lunch served by
the family.
Harold Prance and Minerva
Vincent were married November
9, 1932 at Elimville Church by
Rev. Peters.
