Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1971 Carbon Monoxide Given Off From Fuels Burned in Fireplace A Moss Cosponsors fireplace properly used can add much comfort and charm to a home; improperly used, it can be a hazard. A1 fire places that burn fuel, whether it be wood, coal, char-cao- l, briquets or natural gas must have a chimney that will vent the products of combustion to the outside atmosphere, ac- cording to the Mountain Fuel Supply Co. This is necessary because some fuels, when they burn improperly, create carbon monoxide in their products of combustion, and carbon monoxide can lead to poisoning or death. If these products of combustion are vented to the outside atmosphere, there is no possibility of a carbon monoxide accident occurring. To make certain that the fireplaces are properly used, are advised to follow these steps: 1. Check to be sure the fire place chimney is clear and unobstructed. The chimney should be checked particularly after a long period of disuse. home-owne- rs 2. Make certain the fireplace damper (which covers the open- ing between the fire place and the chimney) is always open if he fireplace is being used and that it remains open until the fire is dead. 3. For fire places equipped with natural gas, Mountain Fuel recommends that the damper be secured in a partially open position at all times. This recommendation is made because the natural gas burns without creating smoke or residue and an uninformed fire place user might, in burning the gas long, forget to open the damper. 4. Do not burn other materials in a gas log fireplace, because the residue or ashes may clog the gas burner and cut down its efficiency. By following the simple steps, homeowners can make use of their fireplace at all times in utmost comfort and safety, and theres no denying a fire place (particularly during the holiday season) adds comfort and charm to a home. .OF SCIENCE Senator Frank E.

Under this bill, an injured victim of a rape or robbery pros- ecutable in the Federal courts or his dependents in the event of death could collect from a Federal Crimes Compensation Board up to $50,000 for loss of income, medical expenses and funeral costs. Convicted criminals would also be required to pay part of their fines into an Indemnity Fund to be administered by the Board for the benefit of victims.

However; the time selected as New Years Day has varied widely. The First Day has been celebrated as early as the autumnal equinox, about September 21, and as late as the summer solstice, about June 21. In most European countries during the Middle Ages, March 24 was the beginning of the New Year. And the Russian people, long ago, welcomed the New Year in with a hundred cannon shots at midnight. In ancient China, people took a different approach to the First Day. They cleaned I house, paid debts and closed ' their shops. Then they shot off their firecrackers . . . and who can ever forget a New Year's in Chinatown of a big American city, with its colorful procession and fiery paper dragons breathing good cheer age-ol- . i to everyone.
