The Better Business BureauOctober.1973 Vol.3,No.10  \n# BUYINGYARD GOODS?ASK FOR LABELS\n\nSeven home economists who went out to purchase yard goods-also called picce goods-found that they didn't get the required care labels in five cases.If you're buying yard goos.askfor the labels.The care labelling rule promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission went intoeffect for goods manufactured after July Ist,1972,and manufacturers have had plenty of timc toput it into effect.  \nWhen you get the care labels.though,you've licked only part of the problcm.You have toscw the labels on your finished apparel.Five of the six home economists who answered the Bureauquestionnaire said that they didn't do this.  \nOne shopper felt that the problem with the care labelling practices was that “in most cases.there's a lack of any textile knowledge on the part of the sales personncl.\"  \nThe shoppers were from the Home Economists in Business,a group of professional womenwho are working with the Bureau on a series of shoppings,and who last year did a small study onfurniture stores.  \nThe care labelling law requires that picce goods be accompanied by a label or tag whichclearly discloses instructions for care.Ready to wear goods must have a permanently affixed labelor tag which clearly discloses instructions for care and maintenance of the article.Some articles areexcluded from the labeling law:headwear,handwear.footwear,products requiring no care such asdisposables.completely washable items intended to rctail under S3.and itcms whose uscfulness orappcarance would be impaired substantially by a permanent labcl.Also,neckties.leather,suedeand fur products.  \nAs usual,the v:lue of the regulation is somewhat diminished by the fact that its provisionsaren't widely known.Even the Homc Economists.for instance.weren't aware of the exceptions.Asked if they kncw that such things as furs.gloves.ete..were exempt from care labelling.four outof the five who answeied said no.One home economist fclt that ia “major problem seems to belack of adequate publicizing of care labelling regulations to the mass media.\"  \n# SOME VOCATIONAL EDUCATION A WASTE OF MONEY.SAYS FTC\n\nSome vocational schools fail to give a vocational education.  \nThat scems to be the conclusion reached by the Federal Trade Commissicn.which lastAugust launched a nationwide campaign to warn the public against the deceplive practices of somevocational schools.The Federal Trade Commission was in the process of investigating some 300 ofthem.which it said got students to spend \"hundreds of dollars on a completely worthlesseducation.\"  \nThe FTC cited a report from the U.S.Department of Health,Education and Welfare(HEW)which,having guaranteed S260 million for vocational education in 1972(under thefederally insured loan program),then paid its share of defaults involving students who haddropped out of courses;75 percent of defaults involved students from vocational schools.Theshare of default was \"alarmingly disproportionate,\"the FTC said,since vocational loansrepresented only 10 to 15 percent of new loan volume.  \nThe FTC also said that in a five year period,75 percent of all veterans receiving benefits forcorrespondence training failed to complete their course.Veterans Administration benefits forvocational school education amounted to $381 million in 1972.  \nThe FTC advised would-be students of vocational schools to ask these four criticalquestions of prospective employers before paying tuition:  \n●Would you hire graduates of the school?  \n●How many have you hired in the last year?  \n●Were they hired because of school training?  \nDid training make any difference in starting salaries?  \nThe Better Business Bureau,which for many years has been providing the public withinformation on the reputability of schools,has two excellent booklets on the subject.If you arecontemplating vocational education,or know someone who is,send a self-addressed,stamped
