at no extra charge.

NOTES
"TOO HOT-OR COLD
Too much clothing on Johnny
or Mary during the cold Alas
kan winters can be just as harm
ful as too little clothing.
“Watch the thermometer or get
the weather reports by radio,
newspaper or television. Children
are very active and over-heat
readily when dressed too warm.
Sudden chilling of their over
heated bodies may cause colds.
A child has on too much cloth
ing if he perspires easily,” says
Frances Hulbert, home demon
stration agent of the University
of Alaska Cooperative Extension
Service.
She suggests that parents ad
just the clothing to the tempera
ture and wind. In a warm school
and steam heated home, indoor
clothing should be light and
washable. An extra sweater
should be available if the room
gets chilly.
The home demonstration agent
concludes by observing: “A good
mother sees that winter clothing
is kept mended, buttons are re
placed and fasteners or zippers
are kept in good running order.”
