- Children will soon be able to wear political statements on
- 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.

- The colorful sportswear, which will go on sale in August, 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 attitude in
- kids. And the sooner the better."
