The local group advises that any teenager who baby-sit- s should keep the following safety tips firmly in mind: Your parents should know your employers, Before the childs parents leave, ask where they can be reached and when they expect to be back. Get a list of emergency telephone numbers. Get specific instructions about feeding and bathing and what time youre to put the children to bed. Ask questions about such things as how the stove works, what foods to serve or what play areas to use, and where the first aid supplies are kept. After the parents leave, lock all outside doors. Never open them to anyone unless you are absolutely sure it is all right. Try to keep children, especially toddlers, in sight as they play. Never leave an infant alone with a bottle or a child unattended in his bath even for a minute. Keep a sharp eye out for such potential hazards as matches or sharp objects left within childrens reach and toys strewn around or on stairs. Should a child be hurt seriously, dont hesitate to call the doctor, an ambulance or the police. Never try treating any- - FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1975 Page Three Are Your Wear Bars Showing? Construction Trades Building To If So, It's Time for New Tires Rise On The Utah Tech Campus If you haven't checked for a while, your wear bars may be showing. The way to find out is to take a searching look at your automobile tires. When you see a smooth, narrow band running across the face of the tire tread it means the tread is worn to 116 of an inch and its time to replace your tires. Officially known as tread-weindicators, the bars serve as a warning to motorists when tires are worn to the danger point. Federal law has required the bars be built into all new passenger tires since August 1, ar 1968. While surveys show that tires are involved in less than one per cent of all highway accidents, says Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr., Chairman of the Tire Industry Safety Council, in more than half of those cases, the tires were bald or severely underinflated. think other than a minor injury yourself. If you smell smoke or discover a fire, get the children out, of the house immediately. Call the fire department from a neighbors phone. When parents get back, insist that you be escorted home if it is after dark. If you feel that your employer is unfit to drive, ask for taxi fare or call your own parents to pick you up. states and the District of Columbia now require a minimum tread depth of 11G-inc- h while California has mandated a 132-inc- h minimum Another handy way to check tread depth is to give your tires the penny test. Stick a peninto the tread ny groove of your tires. If the tread doesnt go past the top of Lincolns head, the tire is worn down to the danger zone. The tires should be replaced. If your tires don't pass the penny test you are greatly increasing the chance of having a serious accident, Lovell points out. Tires with tread worn to the 116 level or less are up to 44 times more likely to suffer disablement than new tires, Lovell pointed out. On wet roads, a tire with adequate tread depth will funnel the water through its grooves, leaving the rubber in contact with the road. A worn tire with shallow grooves is much more likely to skim over the film of water and send the vehicle into a skid in the phenomenon called hydroplaning.

It's a super job for me, says Pam. I can work as much or as little as I want to. Every ease is a new challenge, and its great to be able to solve problems. One of Pam's most satisfying cases involved Leslie Hoffman, age 3. Leslie was hospitalized with a broken arm and leg, and a spinal injury that paralyzed her from the chest down, recalls Pam. After she went home from the hospital, paralysis still prevented her from clearing her lungs. This resulted in recurring pneumonia and readmission to the hospital. Leslies heart stopped several times during emergency tracheotomies. It was frightening for Leslie; and equally upsetting for the insurance claims person. He couldnt figure out what was wrong from reading the hospital bills which kept pouring And thats hi, says Pam. to go on. about all he had At this point, the claims person called on Homemakers CES service for help.
