If each animal would take the responsibility to neuter the male or to spay the female, the large numbers of unwanted animals could be greatly reduced. Many animals which have to be killed each week can be directly traced to the irresponsible persons who allow animals to be born only to discard them to die of starvation, disease or mangled by moving vehicles. Other people confine and neglect animals, often allowing them to starve. Many of the discarded animals end at the Dog pound. No animals, human or other, want to suffer.

Here are some point worth checking when you buy; they may save you grief and bills. repair 1. Because water used in the home contains a certain amount of lime, some method should be used to remove the lime from water so that dried lime dust is not spread to living quarters. Without this feature, the dust is blown throughout the house and settles on furnishings. 2. Check the capacity of the humidifier. A humidifier should add more than just a few gallons of moisture to the air when relative humidity levels are low indoors. For the average home, for instance,- the Payne humidifier that we recommend can add 5.3 pounds of water per hour, (there are 8 pounds to a gallon of water), and arother unit for the larger home can add 9.2 pounds of moisture. This is more than enough for the desired 30 to 40 indoor relative humidity level for comfort and health. 3. Be sure there is some way to control the amount of moisture that is added by the humidifier. In the same way that your'furnace will work with the thermostat to see thot proper heat is provided for different temperature ranges, a humidifier should have some control to determine how much moisture is required ot a given time. Humidifiers thot have controls on or in the furnace itself for high or low are not efficient enough and cannot be controlled from living quarters. We recommend the Payne humidifier because we know, through our own research, that it will perform well. How do we know? we tried the others ourselves. They fall short of needed capacity and have many of the disadvantages we have described. The Payne not only extracts lime from water, but carries it away duct of the furnace to a drain. It is mounted outside the hot-ai- r system so it cannot damage internally through water.spillage.and provides the correct capacity right along with the heat as it is sent to living quarters. Moisture levels are automatically controlled from your living quarters by a humidistat, a thermostat-likdevice thot provides different settings for different humidity levels, not juist high or low" settings that you have to go to the basement to change. It also removes 70ol all dust, dirt and bacteria that enter the unit. Our engineering, sales, and installation staffs work closely to see that you have the right size humidifier, properly installed, for your home.

An original survey showed poisons were stored within of reach of children in nearly area homes. After-4h- e program.-a- s completed, accessibility was reduced by a third. Use of safety latches increased and 50 percent more people knew the local poison control centers telephone number. Educators also encouraged parents to keep poisons in original containers so that safety caps would be used, so the material would be properly labeled and antidote information available. eliminated drain cleaner accidents like Samuels. It has decreased the number of poisonings requiring emergency treatment by 66 percent and the number of hospitalizations by 60 percent. Their work proves that unlike cancer, drug abuse or crime, there are some very specific actions adults can take to prevent the agony of childhood poisoning. Here are the steps they took in Monroe County: Retail stores were surveyed by easydrtver. RATCHET TOOL these surveys were conducted marketing of caps.

Health professionals and volunteers conducted a series of programs at PTA meetings, day care centers and churches anywhere parents of youngsters were likely to congregate.

By 1979 their work had achieved dramatic results that continue to this day: After completing a thorough survey of the causes of childhood poisoning, the preventeam initiated a county-wid- e program adopted techniques. serious poisonings, most involving tion also groceries by council members and a vote is taken to approve or disapprove them. Often minor changes are made, to sometimes correct errors and other typographical times to make addresses or numbers appear properly. It seems that these are the only types of corrections that should be made. However, it has been my experience that some the temptation to k comments or the intent behind! the comments and change the record to make it sound better sometimes becomes too great for a politician to resist. It doesnt happen often, but it seems that even once in a while viewed But, one thing noted by reporters who, cover local governments is a habit nearly every council has to some degree gotten into a habit of docofficial minutes of the toring council public meetings.

HILLENBRAND At 19 months, Samuel Johnson put everything in his mouth. In went fingers, blocks and toy cars. In went shoes and pebbles. One day, in went poison. Samuel Johnson lived through his oral phase thanks only to a year and a half in the hospital and several major operations to rebuild his digestive tract after he swallowed Blastout, a liquid dram cleaner. At his second birthday party he was fed liquids through a tube hanging from his stomach. Shockingly, what happened to Samuel Johnson is all too typical of toddlers who explore by mouthing. They cannot distinguish between orange soda and bright green drain cleaner, or aspirin from candy. Thus, '' accidental poisoning accounts for an t estimated five million injuries and over 5,000 deaths a year. In one county, Monroe (Rochester), N.Y., at least 15 children accidentally swallowed liquid drain cleaner each year. Samuel Johnson was . among them. During 1974, the countys poison control center also reported 5,000 last months meetings are as amended by the council.
