Timely Facts for Consumers
Intelligent Consumption Makes for Better,
HAPPIER Living.
Happier Living.

the most convenience for money
spent.
Store the curtains where they
will not be crushed or torn. Ex-
anime them after each use, and
repair light leaks as soon as they
occur, keeping an extra piece of
opaque paper on hand for patches.
Whatever kind of blackout
curtains you buy, make sure they
have been flame-proofed. This is
an added protection and should
cost little, if any, extra money.
REMAKE COATS
This stock-taking Of the family
clothing needs and resources will
pay you well. Take the matter of
coats, for example. Even coats
for small children take big slice
out of the family clothing budget.
But if you have an adults coat
that is out Of style or worn around
the cuffs and edges, and you are
sure it can't be renovated for con-
tinued use, you can probably re-
make it into an attractive new
coat for your small son or daugh-
ter.
Success in remaking a coat de-
pends on a number Of things! The
old coat must be carefully ripped,
the material cleaned and pressed,
and, if possible, turned. The selec-
ton Of a reliable pattern is i'm
portant in making q coat of good
design, of the right fit, and Of a
style suited both to the material
and the use to which the coat 10
to be put.
Most commercial patterns have
complete and clear sewing in
structions. And bulletins available
from government agencies have
many useful tips on handling ma
terials and finishing details.
Buttonholes are often q stumbling
block. With q little practice, you
can learn to make good ones. But
If they're q problem and you can
get commercial ones made at not
too great o cost, let the tailor or
q seamstress take this job off your
hands. And remember that .
tailor's final pressing 10 just the
finishing touch your coat needs.
Suits for little boys and girls
also lend themselves readily to
home sewing and remaking-es-
pecially in these days Of mixed
color schemes for skirts, pants, and
jackets. Part Of such q suit might
be q new sweater knitted Of the
ravelled yarrs Of Q worn one no
longer in use.
COTTON FROCKS
And you don't need to be linz
tied to remaking woojens. Neat
cotton frocks for school and play
can be made Of the good parts
Of old ones no longer in style.
These can be finished with con-
trasting pieces Of raw materials
for collars, cuffs, and belts. Play
suits and sunsuits require little
material, and can be made Of
practically any cotton or linen
fabrics, attractively finished with
inexpensive trim.

PiCco To Manaqe
ShamrOCks During
Rest of Season

To Johnny Picco, assistant rec
reation director, has been given
the task of managing the Sham
rocks for the remainder of the
season. Ben Goldfaden has been
double skipper of the Big Green
and the softball Reps since Vince
Holochwost left town and the big
fellow feels that every one will
benefit by the latest move.
Picco is we'll remembered for
his stellar third base play and his
terrific hitting of last season. The
husky John had a knee injured
in football at George Washington
University last fall and will have
to time his appearances on the dia-
mond to the vague frequency of
good health of his knee.

Mail Order Insurance

Workers are being victimized
by new form of mail-order in
surance racket, points out Con-
sumers Union in its current issue.
It is called Family Group Life
Insurance"
A typical mail order advertiser
says: "There is no reason now
why any member of your family
should be without life insurance.
One policy, costing only 81
month, can insure them ALL" The
company accepts all members of
a family group, ages / to rs,
without medical examination,
under $1-a-month insurance
policy. The maximum benefit is
stated as 1000. The policy buyer
naturally assumes this means that
each member of the family is in
sured for $1,000. That is far
from the truth. In the first place,
the maximum benefit ranges from
500 to $1,000, depending on the
age at death. And secondly, this
maximum benefit for each indi-
vidual is divided by the number
of persons covered under the
policy. For example, if a family
Of 10-grandparents, parents and
children-is insured under such
a policy, and if the grandfather
dies at 10, the family gets just
$40. ($100 maximum benefit at
70, divided by 10, the number of
persons covered.)
These family group insurance
policies lead people to believe
they are protected by insurance,
when the amount Of protection
they get may be negligible.
Canned Peas
Peas are Americas most pop
ular canned food. Consumers
Union examined 81 of the leading
brands, testing two to six cans
of each brand for tenderness,
and appearance. Among the Best
Buys, quality and price consider
ed, were: Sugar Belle Blended;
Pacific Small Early; Asco Fancy
Small Early; Highway; Kroger's
Country Club Quality; Lily of the
Valley Early June.
Blackout Curtains
blackouC drills are becoming
increasingly frequent, and many
persons are finding blackout cur
tains necessity. You can spend
from 13 cents to SIS, depending
on how much you are willing to
pay Tor better quality or greater
ease of operation. For only oc-
casional use, expensive curtains
are hardly worthwhile.
If you pay less than SO per
curtain, opaque paper is a better
buy than cloth. The cloth in most
cheaper curtains tends to crack
and peel, reports Consumers
Union. The paper does not peel,
is less apt to crack and with care
full handling will last long time.
Paper curtains attached to
spring rollers, like ordinary
window shades, are in the medium
price range and appear to offer

By PAUL sCHEFFELs

New York, Dec. 2s.--(Up,-Th, entire spring training program oi tho major league baseball clubi faced drastic reyiyiOns today and possibility of postponement of thS seasons opening developed as flve clubs planned a switch to con6i. tioning sites close to home.
 The New York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees followed a 24-hour-old move by the Brooklyn Dodgers by abandoning their i043 Florida training camps to help curtail wartime transportation problems. The Philadelphia Ath. letics announced plans to train at Savannah, Georgia, several days ago.
 A letter from Commissioner Ken ecaw M. Landis requesting all major league clubs to arrange spring bases further north to acquiesce to Q demand by ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman for less unessential travel in ie43 made the Giants cut loose from their Miami, Fla, camp and the Cardinals and Yankees slm- uAb1ttGouSAJ EGAkhQh&bkl tlCu 0N Petersburg. Fla, headquarters.
 The Dodgers gave up plans to train at West Palm Beach, Fla, for the same reason Monday.
 Later Start
 Hence, if most of the cluss are to train close to or even on their own home territory, the opening Of the season may have to be set back two or three weeks.
 Such 6 possibility will be discuss ed at the February meetings of the major league.
 Giants Secretary Eddie Brannick also disclosed cancellation ef 10 spring training games along tEe Grapefruit Circuit with the Cleve- land Indians. a series that was to have been played in Miami, Clear water and Jacksonville, Fla: Charleston and Columbia, S. C.; Richmond. Va, and Harrisburg, Pa.
