Sweaters Are
Laws Banning Sale OF
So-Called Torch
Sweaters Are B ling
Asked

NEW YORK tR-More ard nor
inflammah'e sweaters are turHi29
up over the nation as TIE ser
is being built up with the additio'
OF burning rugs, blankets, trouser;
and hats.
While persons in many cites
worried about c0mbushb.l'ty c.
their garments, plans were made
to seek federal, state and city
laws banning SAFE of the so-cal'ed
torch" sweaters.
The sweaters, made of brush
rayon, started turning up about
a month ago after one wearer
reported his garment caught lire
when he lit a cigarette, another
when he stood near gas stove.
Sweater peddlers have been ar
rested i'll cities in several states.
Alerted by stories of the sweat
RS, persons across the country
tested other items. In some eases
they obtained the torch sweater
result-flames in seconds, ashes IN
a minute.
However, it was not learned inn
mediately whether these other ar
ticles were made of brush rayon.
Fire Commissioner Jacob Cru
met in New York said Monday he
was looking into reports of the
use of brush rayon in hats and an
undetermined material in Spe-
cial type of ''fleecy pants"
In Baltimore, firemen said a
householder brought in what they
described as a best selling" baby
doll blanket. The firemen said
they tested it and it burned to
ashes in los seconds.
Grumet said he would ask the
New York Legislature and the
City Council here to ban sale of
products made of brush rayon. He
described them as "a grave dan
ger to life as well as property y
Pending such legislation, Grumct
urged "ali manufacturers and deal
erS to withdraw these So-caEed
torch sweaters from the market
In Washington, Rep. Gordon
Garfield (R.-N. j. said he would
introduce Il bill to ban the eX-
plOding sweaters from interstate
commerce.
The sweaters apparently have
been sold only by itinerant ped
diers, and not in stores.

too numerous and too obvious
to require elaboration Or even
listing. but one thing in parti-
cular cannot be 100 greatly
emphasized, namely the tre-
mendous opportunity which IS
offered for fostering more
inter-isIand understanding, es-
pecially among our future ci-
tizenry and leaders, at a very
timely and crucial uncture IN
our affairs. This alone is an
overwhelming argument il
favor Of the activity.
AN association Of old-time
Spartan expression with con
temporary American coloquial
ism may seem far-fetched but
is highly apropos. The analogy
is clearer when it IS remem-
bered that both peoples stand
out for their athletic proves
as well as their hardheaded
practicalism. The laconic Spar
tan comment on all Of the
foregoing might well be sim

American might say, There's

Guest Editorial
E "A CATCH TO IT

f@#
IT WOULD APPEAR that a surprising number Of people
are unaware Of the interisland athletic meet being planned
by the Christiansted High School and the Charlotte Amahe
High School if the experience of one high school teacher is at
all typical land it seems to BEL. Observed to Be wearing
canvas shoes and a T-shirt, he was asked whether he was re-
taxing during the Easter vacation. When he replied that he
was supervising athletic practices for the nterisland meet
the reioinder was: 70, yesp I didn't know there was going to
be a meet. There is a deeper significance to this which is
reflected in the scarcity of athletic events in our community,
as compared to former times. An even greater disparity is eyi-
dent when a comparison is made with our sister island, where
organized athletics are. an accepted and important part of
community life. The fact is that, over the years, there has been
a steady and disheartenings if uneven, decline in organized
sports. when precisely the opposite tendency might reason
ably have been expected. The meet, if successful, should
serve as a spark to rekindle local interest and enthusiasm in
sports to the point where a start might be made toward en-
trenching athletic and other beneficial re~creational activities
in our community life.
THIS is not the first time that there has been interls-
land competition. On different occasions in the past, parti-
cularly during the years l9384O, highly successful MEETS have
been held. AT that time, however, much greater interest was
evinced in athletics than exists at the present time. Following
the aforementioned events Of 1910. one attempt, in l947,
was made to revive interisland~ competition, with some sue
cess, but until this year, nothing on 4 very large scale bad
been planned.
THE being planned for this year is the most am
bilious, inclusive and comprehensive yet considered, there
being two levels Of competition, 4 Junior division and 4 Senior
division, corresponding respectively to the Junior and Senior
sections Of the High School furthermore, provision has been
made for participation BY girls as well as boy. The sportstO
be included are baseball softbaI, ~voIeyball, basketball, table
tennis and track and field events. An entire week. from May
81 to June 2, has been set aside for these activities.

SPARK PLUG CLEANER

I have found an easy way of
cleaning spark plugs with the use
of a steel wire brush. 1t will clean
all the carbon from the plugs which
cannot be gotten out without the use
of an air sand blast. With this steel
brush, your plugs can be cleaned
quickly and oftener which will help
any motor to run better and will
save you fuel and money. It will
not damage the plugs.-D. R.
Note by /. w. D. - Frequent
checking of the plugs will make for
better engine operation, but one
should also have a feeler gauge to
see that the plug gap is correct. Do
not slight the regular garage check
