MILFORD Library Notes By MRS. DONN KESLER

Eighteen youngsters searched for chocolate eggs Saturday afternoon, during the Story Hour Easter Egg Hunt. Eggs were hidden on bookshelves and behind books, but were quickly found by the excited children. Each week more decorated eggs are brought for our Egg Tree. This year the tree has many pretty green leaves coming out, which make it even more attractive. Be sure to visit the library this week and see the tree. Adults as well as children will surely enjoy it. When you visit the Children’s Room, you should examine our set of McGuffey’s Readers, which is on display. Mrs. William Burgett has given the Third Reader in memory of Larry Sherman. We have the McGuffey Primer, and First, Second, Third and Fourth Readers, all of which were given by Mrs. Burgett as memorials. Her sister, Mrs. Davis participated in three of the gifts. Public libraries exist to serve you. Make use of them now, and remember that National Library Week will be observed in Indiana April 16 through April 22. We are anticipating National library Week in April. Are you appreciating the fact that Milford and community have a public library? A number of towns nearby would be happy to have one, and their people are willing to pay for a borrower’s card to use our library. Do you use it? Consider the following: Blessed are they that have good libraries, For to them comes the heritage of the ages. Blessed is the library whose books are as good friends. For out of these enthusiasms come great visions. Blessed are the libraries which offer hospitality, For often times they entertian angels unawares. And blessed are they who find in library books . . . ideals, For from these books great leaders may arise.

ON THE semi CHILD SUPPORT OR ALIMONY? QUESTION: Hilda is divorced and the divorce decree states simply that Hilda is to receive “S2OO per week for the support of her and her children.” Does

Hilda have to report any of this money as income onher tax return? ANSWER: In this case she may have to declare all of it as taxable income. Normally alimony (payments intended for the support of the wife) is taxable while child support payments are not. However, it has been held that where there is some question as to what portion of the payments are child support and what portion is alimony then it will all be treated as alimony and will be taxable to the recipient. (The payer can deduct it as an itemized deduction.)

Permanent Care Labeling Os Retail Fabrics Required

LAFAYETTE — The Federal Trade Commission recently ruled that as of July, 1972, all fabrics sold over-the-counter must have care labels which consumers can attach permanently to the finished garment, says Dr. Jean Goodrick, extension clothing and textiles "specialist, Purdue university. Although passage of the rule may represent a significant step toward the prevention of many problems associated with improper fabric care, Dr. Goodrick says the textiles industry anticipates a number of problems for both the manufacturers and the retailers. Some of these problems may influence strongly the degree of effectiveness of the rule. /, The retailer must oversee the labeling. Although the lables are attached to the bolt, actual distribution by all sales personnel may be another matter. Furthermore, a consumer may not be inclined to use the label once she gets it. A spokesman for one textile company speculated that the home seamstress will sew in a designer name label provided by a pattern company because it has prestige; but, he questioned whether she would bother to sew in a label that says "washable.” In addition to the added costs, Dr. Goodrick explains there is also the logistical problem of how to distribute the labels. Several possibilities are already under consideration. For example, the label might be attached to the fabric at yard intervals, or, perhaps, 20 labels might be supplied with each bolt and the sales person would have the responsibility for distribution. Dr. Goodrick says the strip labeling already being inserted inside the folded edge of some over-the-counter fabrics is considered to be a very easy method of labeling. The fact the the strip is made of paper presents a problem because it cannot be permanently attached to the finished product. One problem which may arise is the consumer’s use of several incompatible fabrics or garment components together. She will have no guarantee that the threads, fabrics and trims are all compatible. One spokesman speculated that learning to choose compatible garment components is an educational problem best solved by the pattern companies and

magazines. Some educational and commercial agencies already supply this type of assistance to consumers. However, only the manufacturer of a specific product would know the exact care procedures fir that product, points out Dr. Goodrick. One large chain store is requiring that all fabric bolt ends have a code letter indicating care instructions. This code corresponds to a give-away chart that the consumer can hang in the laundry room. Dr. Goodrick says it has been proposed that such a letter code system could be standardized and adopted nationally. Stamped along the selvage of fabrics at quarter yard intervals, at least one code letter would surely be present on all cuttings from a bolt of goods. Althoughthe seamstress who carefully avoids this selvage in cutting garment sections would lose the care code, a code letter could be salvaged and stitched into a seam at some inconspicuous location. Obviously, a number of problems will have be solved in the enforcement of the Federal Trade Commission ruling, says Dr. Goodrick. It is hoped that manufacturers and retailers will be able to devise a workable system of practical value to consumers. Savings Bond Sales Are Down Joe Ettinger, chairman of the Kosciusko county U. S. Savings’ Bonds committee has received a report revealing that the county’s Savings Bonds sales for February were $58,426 compared with $58,868 for the corresponding period of last year.
