- their shirts, skirts and pants. Topsville, a New York City
- manufacturer of children's sportswear, has signed a licensing
- agreement with Just Say No International, an antidrug
- foundation, that allows the company to design clothes using the
- group's slogan. Children will sport the "Just Say No" message
- on everything from sweat shirts to shorts, in English and
- several foreign languages. Prices: $5.50 to $12.

- will premiere at this week's "Just Say No" Walk Against Drugs
- in Chicago. Currently there are 15,000 Just Say No clubs in the
- U.S. Ivy Cohen, executive director of Just Say No International,
- says the foundation hopes the clothes will generate new interest
- in the clubs. Says she: "We want to foster a whole antidrug
