A buying guide on baby's needs in a recent Canadian Consumer magazine suggests that it is not at all necessary to spend a great deal of money on things for your baby -- he will be as happy with clothing and equipment that meets mini- mum standards as with the most expensive. The main concern is to keep the baby comfortable and happy. More often than not a baby may be over -dressed rather than under- dressed. Their heating system is better developed at birth than the cooling system and babies need more help to keep cool in hot weather than to keep warm at ord- inary room temperature, Everything bought for the baby should be machine washable and dryable and require no ironing. Clothing should be easy to put on and take off. Too much fuss in changing and dressing a baby can make him irritable. In your planning, the most basic need is diapers. Consider first of all whether or not you will use a diaper service. This is much more expensive but it is certainly more convenient. It may be a worth- while expenditure depending on how much you value your time and whether you already own the necessary laundry equipment. If you decide in facor of the diaper service, you will require one doz- en diapers for an emergency sup- p1Y• If you plan to do your own laundry, you will need three to four dozen diapers. There are sev- eral fabrics to choose from: gauze is soft and easy to fold into the small sizes for newborns and it also dries more quickly than other fabrics. Stretch gauze gives the best fit. Flannelette is cheaper and may be slightly more absorb- ent than gauze. Terry -towelling is used in England and some Can - adian mothers find it satisfactory Paper is used for the disposable diapers. These are far more ex- pensive than cloth and probably are most useful when taking the baby on trips, When buying the necessary safety pins, remember the ones with plastic heads are less safe than ordinary pins because they break easily, The pins with the steel head that slides up to un- fasten and down to hold the pin shut are the most satisfactory. When it comes to waterproof pants, the plastic ones are easier on the baby than rubber, but some babies develop a rash if they wear them continuously so it might be a good idea to buy just two pair until you know your baby can wear them. These can be used for special occasions even if not all the time. The plastic should not harden if given proper care and this means mild soap, warm water, hand -washing and hand drying with a towel or on a line. Never put plastic pants through the regular wash cycle in your machine or through a wringer. One of the handiest garments you could have for a baby is sleepers, which are also called playsuits or coveralls. 1 ou can use at least six of these but as they are a popular gift, the article suggests that two should be suffic- ient as basic equipment. Quality is important because the suits are used constantly. The fabric should be very thick and stretchy and without collars. Babies have very short necks and sleepers with collars are uncomfortable. There are many fancy sleeper sets on the market but for the same price, the plain ones are usually better quality. Snap fasteners on sleepers should be closely spaced, espec- ially in the crotch area, and should extend all the way to the ankles. It is better if the snaps have a loose, rather than a tight NOTICE VILLAGE OF ZURICH Under new regulations set out by the Ontario De- partment of Financial and Commercial Affairs (Reg. 274-70) and subject to by-law No. 20, 1970, of the Village of Zurich, it is now necessary to obtain a licence for the conducting of any Lottery (bingos, raffles, etc.), or to conduct a Lucky Draw, in which the prize offered is not over $3500. The fee for any such Licence issued by the Village of Zurich will be $2.00. If an amount greater than $3500 is to be given away, a Licence must be ob- tained from the Minister of Financial and Com- mercial Affairs. (Reg. 274-70) . Anyone wishing to operate such Lotteries or Draws in the Village of Zurich, may obtain the necessary licence, or more information, from the clerk -treas- urer, who will act as licence issuer in this munici- pality.

ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE NINE hold, and set into a special band of thick twill rather than just a fold of the material because they tend to pull away from the lighter fabric, Examine the snaps care- fully; the best ones have three separations in the holding rim rather than just one. Zippered sleepers certainly are handy but at times it can be difficult to • slide a wet zipper. With the sleepers you may not need to buy shirts, but if you do decide to use a shirt for your baby, consider the stretchy fabric. The tied shirts are more adjustable titan the buttoned ones. Clothing size is difficult. A newborn will swim in a 12 -month size but he will grow so fast that most mothers wish they had bought nothing but the 12 -month size or larger. The author of the article on Baby's requirements suggests that you would be well advised to stick to the absolute minimum in buying done before the birth of your baby since you don't know how big the baby will be or what you will receive as gifts. Many purchases can be delayed for months and the delay will give you time to decide your prefer- ences and to spend gradually rath- er than ruin your budget. The article is an attempt to clarify the advantages and disad- vantages of various choices and to indicate which items are necessary and which might be considered frills. It covers the basic neces- sities of clothing, cribs, carriages, feeding and bathing equipment and includes a great deal of pract- ical information for tate about - to- m other.
