Show Page Two - The Pyramid - March 9, 1994 Poison prevention ntary- The Utah Safety Council recently released the following information reminding parents that many of the 5,200 deaths that resulted from solid or liquid poisoning in 1992 could have been prevented. The following guidelines can help keep you and your children safe from these dangers: Clean out medicine cabinets. Throw away unlabeled or outdated medications. Flush liquids down the toilet and thoroughly rinse the bottles before discarding. Have a section that locks, even if your medicine cabinet locks. Youngsters can be curious and are avid climbers. Keep medication lids tightly closed. A cap is meaningless if not properly fastened after each use. Never take medicine in front of a child, or refer to pills as candy. Never take a medication prescribed for another person. Even if your symptoms are similar, there might be side effects and warnings which you do not know about. Get clear directions on how medication should be taken. Do not keep different pills in the same container. Be wary of visitors. People who visit may carry medications. Coat pockets or purses are the perfect hunting grounds for an inquisitive child. Check under the sink and on low cabinet shelves. Look for stored products which could be hazardous when accessible to young children. Cleaning compounds and foods must never be stored on the same shelf. Keep all substances in their original containers. Handle pesticides with respect. They vary in degree of toxicity. Dont use pesticides near people or pets, or on windy days and follow instructions carefully. Keep all plant parts out of the mouth. Few plants present a serious danger, but some can cause stomach discomfort.

Bus to accept public passengers on daily Salina to Nephi route MT. PLEASANT- - Mrs. Shelleys third graders have collected 7,176 labels, over a thousand more than their goal of 6,000, as part of the volunteer program at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School. The labels are to be used to obtain needed library materials and a playground megaphone. Students collected and organized the labels after advertising the need for them to the community. They wrote letters to senior citizens, who have a label collection box at their center, and worked with Terrells who helped them get some special labels from the Campbell Soup Company who sponsors the collection program. Label donations to the ongoing project may be left in boxes at the elementary or the senior citizens center. NEPH- I- The Sanpete Community Council has entered into an agreement with Bethage Mission West, Inc., to accept public passengers on its Salina to Nephi bus route, according to information received from the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation. The bus transports clients to daily training in Nephi, but now allows county residents access to Greyhound routes going both North and South out of Nephi.
