Eleanor Kairalla, who super-
vises publicity and promotion
activities for the council in New
York, and Lee Clark, the coun-
cil’s market development direc-
tor, issued encouraging reports
on Interest being shown in new
fabrics and yarn development,
but both women warned produ-
cers and directors that a mo-
hair labeling program would
have to be undertaken if past
efforts in promotion
to be effective.
"We can create all
sumer interest tn the _____,
mohair, but we can’t capture
on it effectively without proper
labeling of our products,” Mrs.
Clark declared. Mrs Clark call-
ed the labeling situation a
“broken link” in the chain of
progress, since current labeling
methods are detrimental to
creating market stability that
mohair vitally needs.
Mr. McAndrews, whose firm
has completed limited tests for
the council said, "The tests
have proved that mohair is one
of the most resistant fibers to
fire and further tests could
boost the fiber to new uses be-
cause of its safety features.”
Elroy Pohle, with the USDA’s
fiber testing laboratory in Den-
ver. said work is continuing on
establishing mohair standards,
and he is being given full sup-
port of the Mohair Council in
setting up these standards
