Show The Deseret Sampler, Friday, March 7, 1975 E Counselors Post Script Corner I EDITORIALS by Josie Riddle Children Cannot Read Labels Parents just dont realize how fast tragedy can strike. If a mother is polishing furniture and the phone rings, either die bottle should go with her or the child should. She must not leave the two together. SOUND ADVICE. Yet in its wake, home poisonings still occun In a recent year approximately 280 children under 5 years old, and nearly eleven percent of all victims of fatal oral poisoning were dead from preventable accidents. Children cannot read warning labels, says the National director of Red Cross Safety Programs. They will swallow cleaning materials, detergents, turpentine, and pesticides, as well as medications not meant for them. The dangers begin as soon as a baby is able to crawl, reach the cabinet under the kitchen sink, and be attracted by a bright colored container holding a substance that is poisonous. The hazard increases again when the child learns to climb, said the Red Cross. !J NO PARENT wants to rush their child to the emergency ward with a critical case of chemical pneumonia, a type, of pneumonia that does not respond to antibiotics. "" i Si The Red Cress and Dugways Safety Office suggest the following measures to prevent needless poisonings, suffering and deaths: v 1. Keep household products out of the reach and sight of children, preferably in a locked cabinet or closet. If you must leave the room even for an instant while using one of these products, remove the container to a safe spot. 2. STORE medicines separately from household cleansers, and always keep items in their original containers, never in nips or soft drink bottles. 3. Do not take medicine from an unlabeled bottle. I 4. Always turn a light on before taking or giving medicine, 5. Clean out your medicine cabinets periodically. Get rid j jof old medicines by flushing them down die drain, rinsing the container in water, and then discarding it. Date all drugs when n buy diem. Weed out leftovers regularly, especially drugs your physican ordered for a particular illness, 6. DO NOT EAT or serve foods that look or smell abnorj mal. 7. Protect your eyes and skin when using insect poisons, ; weed killers, solvents and meaning agents. Follow directions carefully, and be sure to wadi thoroughly after use of these Idlings, promptly removing contaminated clothing. If products are spilled be sure to clean up thoroughly. A final recommendation from the Red Cross was take it teaches poison prevention, 'a Red Gross first aid course and what to do when someone has swallowed a poisonous substance. 1 pres-riptio- Tyler This article is the eleventh in a series of articles about alcohol abuse. The articles are presented by die DPG Human Relations Resource Center to aid DPG employees and their families in learning more about alcoholism. Recause of its nature, alcoholism is as damaging to die family of an alcoholic as it is to the alocholic. It has been called die Family Illness. Family members are usually the first to feel the effects of die. alcoholisms progressive destruction. For its own survival, die family must learn about the realities of alcoholism and face its impact on die familys life. Alcoholism is a form of denial. If die family accepts die alcoholics denial, die alcoholic will probably die still drinking. The chain of alcoholism must be broken before the alcoholic has a chance for recovery. To continue giving die drinker another chance or covering up for him will only prolong die drinkers problem and cause more disruption in die family. The best way to help any alcoholic recover is to remove ignorance about alcoholism, acquire an adequate attitude based on knowledge and have die courage to practice these principles when dealing with the alcoholic. . n Trane-Icrip- 522-211-6. method.

Sunday morning. Yon would rather roll over and sleep, but something inside of you tells you that it is time to get up for chapel worship. So you make heroic efforts to brush aside the enhwehs and null vnurself together. But every now and then, after being up late Saturday night, or when die weather is especially bad, you ask yourself: Who needs religion anyway? That is a heavy question, and also a pretty important one. You know people who do not practice religion, and who seem to get along without it. Are you different from people who do not go to church liecau.se right now, for some reason or other, you have no choice other than to go to church? You answer depends on how you feel about the first question: Who needs religion anyway? What is die purpose of religion? The gospel of Jesus Christ is precisely this: Good News for those who believe. The news' given us is that life is good, so good that it keeps coming cm forever. The news is that God is good, so good that lie invites us to live with Him in unending happiness. The news is that all suffering is only for a while, and that in die end the power of Christ will wipe away every tear and triumph over every evil. , Christian faith is not nnwriwnp added onto life, like a fancy hat we would prefer to do without. Christian faith, if it is die genuine article, is die. heartbeat of life itself. Christ put it simply and bluntly: I have come so that they may have hfe, and have it to the roll. (John 10:10) Christian faith, then is about human growing,- - about love tnd' 'friendship.-kbet- ot loneliness and sorrow, about .courageartd'joy. The Christian religion is about life itself. Its purpose is to fit the pieces of I" our lives together into a fantastically wonderful picture.

It is designed to improve die physical and mental well-- being of youth, but it also contributes to die morale and welfare of parents by pro- viding a well- - supervised program to occupy their youngsters spare time. n The first and utmost quality one must possess is a genuine concern for kids.
