Svieaters play a timeless
fashion role; in classic shapes or
adapted to meet styling demands
or both casual and more
formal wear, the modern miss
can have a sweater wardrobe
. that is easy to care for and safe
from such traditional enemies as
Moths, mildew, matting and
'pilling, But she must follow a
few simple basic rules to keep •
her sweater looking as fresh and
lovely as the -day she bought it.
In order to get full value for
dollars spent on this popular'
item in your wardrobe,
Consumers' Association of
Ciriada stress the ,importance of -
always reading the
man u fa curer -'s instructions.
Don't guess at the proper
method or you are likely to end
up wearing the consequences. If'
you are fortunate enough to
have the. instructions 'oil a
sewn -in label, you should have
no. problem, but in the event
lyolit instructions are on hang
tags, be sure to note any special
instructions and save them for
, ?future reference. If you have any
doubts as to how to handle the
article, ask the sales clerk if the
sweater is washable or has to be
Tourism
dry' cleaned and have this
information written on the bill
of sale for your future
protection.
Here is some basic
information on the meaning of
the terms used to describe the
best cleansing method for your
garner&
Hand washing: with a natural
fibre such as wool qr mohair,
Wash in warm water with soap or
detergent, squeeze gently and
rinse thoroughly in at'least two
changes of cool or lukewarm,
water to make sure you remove'
all soap or detergent. If any
remains in the fibres, it will dull
the colors and make the sweater
'stiff.. To -dry, first roll the
sweater in a towel to remove
excess moisture, and thervlay it
flat on a towel to dry.
Machine washable: sweaters
knit- with man-made fibres such
as "Orlon" acrylic or DuPont
nylon or "Antron" nylon, may
usually be machine washed. But,
even with these, there are a few
things to remember if you, want
them to retain- their beauty. If
the garment has closings such as
buttons or zippers, make sure
they are done up. - Always turn
study to be made
Ontark's first major'
inter -departmental study •for
development of all aspects of
tourist and outdoor recreation
facilities has been undertaken by

first" of • a two-phase program in

_,Highways, Energy and Resources
- Management, Education,

• Eyes come just two to a
customer, so take care of them
properly, says The Canadian
National Institute for the Blind.
Don't poke or rub at them.
Remove eye make-up gently and
thoroughly. Keep your glasses or
contact lenses scrupulously
clean. If you get something in
your eye, lift the upper lid
gently and place it down over
the lower lid. And the cardinal
rule for good eye health, have a
regular professional
examination.
the garment inside out, so that
any wear caused by the machine
will occur on the inside surface.
Set the machine for a short cycle
and for warm water -- never hot.
You will, of • course, separate
coloreds from whites before
washing to make sure that no
color bleeds into the whites.
You can fumble dry but at a low
setting. Many man-made fibres
are helped back into shape by
tumble dryilig. ,
Stretch sweaters; a Stretch
like "Lycra" spandex hates high
heat and chlorine bleach, so
avoid both. "Lycra" takes to
gentle tumble drying and you
will find this process will bounce
it back to its original shape.
Because of the treatment
given during manufacture,
sweaters either blended or
totally knit with natural fibres
may range all the way from
"washable" to "dry clean onlyi,"
Once again, the tag or label
should tell you.
When it comes to ironing, if
you must press your 'sweater, use
a cool or steam iron with a damp
cloth and press inside out:
. Never - hang up a knitted
garment, it can sag and stretch
out of shape. Store sweaters flak
preferably in plastic bags to keep
them fresh and clean:
Hopefully in the future,
manufacturers „ of quality
sweaters will see fit to affix
sewn -in label instructions, but
until this becomes a Wide -spread
practice, the consumer will have
to -be on her toes when
'qundering sweaters.
If you have had any problems
with misleading washing
instructions on sweaters, you
would help by telling -us at:

growth of various regions ,of
Ontario and is by his own

every summer he sails her lakes
and inland waterways.

"Any visitor who -comes to
Ontario will enjoy his visit much
more if he merely accepts An the
delightful things to see and do,

with their own confusion."
