Te.t.'1") news and views ,; ; • Y Consumers' Association of Canada 5:21-- r At last, a standard sizing for children's clothing! This is most welcome news to thousands of parents who, when buying clothing for their child- ren, have had the frustrating experience of finding out that garment sizing labels do not always mean what they sayand can vary widely when prodced by different manufacturers. For many years, Consumers' Association of Canada has been urging a system of standard sizes for children's clothing and, at ' long last, it is now in effect. The Association was instru- mental in having a Canadian Government Specifications Board committee set up in 1952 and since that time, Consumers' representatives have taken an active part in the work of the committee in co-operation with other interested groups re- presenting manufacturers, retail- ers and government. Over the years CAC has always had people representing the consumer at these meetings - meetings that were long, numerous and some- times frustrating. This plan fills a real need, but it is entirely voluntary. Its. success depends on consumer demand and consumer accept- ance. Manufacturers and retailers may now apply for a license to use the Canada Standard Size label which complies with the established dimensional stand- ards based on sizing according to body measurement, rather than age, Watch for the symbol. The label contains an easily recog- nized semi -circular tape -meas- ure with the words "Canada Standard Size" included. To make the system effective we must learn to think of child- ren's clothes in terms •of their body measurements and buy en that basis. One of the best ways to make sure the system becomes effect- ive is for consumers to ask to see the Canada Standard Size chart when buying children's clothing. A small leaflet has been distributed by the federal Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs to retail out- lets explaining the system and listing the measurements in- volved. So, as a consumer, ask about it and help make the store clerks more aware that there are new standards of sizing available. Canada Standard Size was accepted by the children's garment industry with consider- able dragging of feet. It will take some time to become un- iversal. The big catalogue people are co-operating and it is hoped that all retail outlets will 'push' the idea so that shopping may be easier and more accurate,saving time and effort and money for shoppers and stores alike. We, as consumers, must ask and keep asking for these gar- ments in the stores. Ask your friends and neighbors to do the same. It is simple, sensible and workable plan that needs the support of consumers every- where. We are interested in finding out it the Canada Standard Size information is getting out to the retailers. If you ask about it and get a negative response, write us about it at: "Sizes, Consumers' Association of Canada, 100 Gloucester St., Ottawa 4. she mentioned that carpet had been laid in the two vestibules, and the kitchen, also that gen- eral supplies had been purchased for the kitchen and that the Guild had sponsored the child- ren's Sunday school party.
