District High School per - T -A photo Better to wear new fur inside out for warmth Although that new fur coat you got for Christmas will help ward off winter's chill. it will actually keep you warmer if you wear it inside out, says University of Guelph Consumer Studies professor Keith Slater. Vir- tually all clothing marketed in Canada is designed for style, with lit- tle scientific testing done to rate it for warmth, he says, so if you're wearing the fur on the outside, you're wearing it for status. Inside out, the fur would provide excellent insulation from cold air and the outer layer of tough leather would keep the wind out. Despite all the claims made by manufacturers of snowsuits and ski wear, says Slater, the best outfit for sub -zero temperatures is really a system of layered clothing. The abject is to keep cold air and wind out, while letting moisture vapor escape. For extensive outdoor activities, he recommends wearing underwear and a shirt made from a fabric that will absorb perspiration away from the body. If you perspire and allow your clothing to get wet, heat loss increases. The second layer should be airy because air is the best possible insula- ' tion. "The fibre content of the gar- ment doesn't make it a good insulator, the air it entraps does," he says, so you should wear a middle layer of clothing with a loose weave contain- ing a number of tiny holes to trap air. • On the outside, wear a fabric that is tightly woven tp prevent a blast of air from entering. Slater advises•shop- pers to be careful when buying vinyl and rubber -coated fabrics that stop air and water completely. They will also prevent perspiration from evaporating. Such water -proof garments should be designed with adequate ventilation at neck and ankle openings to allow water vapor out. Before buying, check the gar- ment for gaping seams or design traps that would allow rain water and melting snow to run in rather that out. Color plays a minor role in heat retention, although many people still believe that darker colors absorb more heat, says Slater. An extra slice of toast in the morning will probably provide more heat energy than wear- ing a dark -colored ski suit. Although there is no perfect cold weather garment, with a little bit of common sense and a keen shopper's eye, you can be both warm and well- dressed this winter, he says. Look for garments that offer the best of these features, or a last resort, buy from known manufacturer so you can return the garment if it proves unsatisfactory. - STORY HOUR GRADUATES — Graduation exercises were held Wednesday morning for Story our students at Exeter Christian Reformed Church.

Area readers hit 2,060 books The 1986 Multiple Sclerosis READ- a-thon came to a close in Huron Coun- ty today. A total of seven schools in this area, read 2,060 books and rais- ed $2,428.01. Over 22,000 students throughout Northern and parts of Southern Ontario read 263,296 books and raised $389,559.48 for Multiple Sclerosis research. The students began the READ-a- thon program when a Multiple Sclerosis Society representive came to the school for an assembly presen- tation in October. Participating students from grades one to eight, then read as many books as they wished, obtaining pledges from fami- ly and friends. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System which may cause loss of coordination, tremors, double vision, extreme fatigue, or even paralysis. M.S. usually.strikes adults between the ages of 15 and 50 and for 50,000 Canadians, there is no known cause or cure. - Research is therefore essential. Funds raised through the READ-a- thon program are necessary for the ongoing discovery of Multiple Sclerosis. Mrs. Margaret Nadiger of Dashwood will celebrate her 96th bir- thday on January 1. Isabelle Cann of Exeter will celebrate her 80th birthday on January 5.
