CHOOSE CLOTHING WITH SELF-HELP FEATURES LAFAYETTE — Clothing purchased for a young child may have a direct influence on the child’s development of motor skills and feelings of selfconfidence and independence, says Mrs. Jean Goodrick, extension clothing and textile specialist at Purdue university. As the child's ability to dress and undress hijnself without assistance increases, he becomes less dependent 5 upon others. Motor development occurs as he learns to use his hands through the manipulation of his clothing. So in shopping for clothes for the young child, choose those designed with self help features that will allow him to manipulate them with ease. Garments should be simple in design, easy to handle and put on. Front openings are easily accessible. They should be full length or deep enough for the child’s head to go through without

strain. The garment should have as few fastenings as possible. A zipper is easiest to manipulate; it should have an easy-to-grasp puli. Separating zippers are difficult to manage for the child less than five years of age. If buttons are used they should be flat, smooth, of medium size and easy to grasp. The buttonholes should be large enough that the buttons slip through them with ease. Grippers are most difficult for a child to use. Expandable necklines, waistlines, and shoulder openings that require no fasteners are desirable. Pants with expandable waistlines are more easily managed than those with waistline plackets that require fasteners. Overalls with suspenders that have to be fastened may be somewhat difficult to manage. The armhole and sleeve should be designed such that any restriction or binding is minimal. The child's arm. for example, slips through a raglan sleeve more easily than through a puffed sleeve set into a restrictive armhole. Multi-piece or layered outfits usually require more manipulation than the simple

one-piece garment that opens down the front. A two-piece knit outfit with expandable neckline, raglan sleeves and an elasticized waistline is easy to put on and take off. When the shirt or blouse must be pulled on over the head, the front and back of the garment should be easily identified. A young child is anxious to learn to dress himself. Not only does development of this ability give him a sense of accomplishment but it also pays time-saving dividends to Mother's schedule. Garments which incorporate self-help features are very- likely to be strong favorites of both parent and child. The Christmas gift of clothing, chosen because of self-help

features, represents more than a tangible item. It carries with it the potential for a less tangible long range gift of satisfaction derived in the optimum development of a young child. 7-1 Drive-in restaurants are becoming automated, says the extension institutional management specialist at Purdue university. Computers control ordering, preparing and billing. Fresh food is prepared automatically and with remarkable speed.
