Guidelines for
Fire Safety
In the Kitchen

One of the best ways to
improve your kitchen i is to
make it fire-safe.

Dish towels and pot-
holders should never hang

- Near the stove where they

may accidentally catch fire.
Achild—oreven a grownup
—could get a nasty burn
reaching over the stove for
a towel.

Incase of a grease or pan
fire, smother the flames
with a pot lid or a larger
pan. Never throw water ona
grease fire. Jf an oven fire
strikes, close the oven door
andturn it off. The best way
to fight these kinds of
kitchen fires
pottable iff
handy." In ¢
extinguisher at least once a
month to make sure it is
working properly. Remem-
ber that if a kitchen fire does
get out of control, you
shouldn’t fight it yourself.
Leave your home immedi-
ately and call the fire depart-
ment.

Faulty and overloaded
electrical wiring are major
causes of home fires. Make
sure your kitchen is wired
correctly. Too many appli-
ances plugged into an outlet
or extension cord present a
teal fire hazard. Such over-
loading can ignite the elec-
trical insulation and cause a
fire.

THERE's something Pposi-
tively unnerving in the exper-
ience of going out in sneakers
and a sport. shirt, ins the
month of January, in Cana-
da, to pick up one’s news-
paper, and being able to find
it without groping through
half a dozen snowbanks to
find that tell-tale yellow or
green wrapper.

=== WARNING

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING!

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a very real hazard in many homes throughout
British Columbia. This odorless, invisible killer is produced when combustion
takes place without a proper supply of air. With the recent drive to conserve heat
and energy, many homes have been made much more air-tight, and with the
combination of a burning ‘fireplace, a gas-burning furnace and the norma!
compliment of appliances and exhaust fans in operation, a potentially lethal
situation can occur. Gas furnaces normally have their own air supply, however, it
is often not of sufficient size to supply the additional air demands of fireplaces:
and exhaust fans. A fireplace should have its own air supply duct or a window.
should be opened in the room where a fireplace is pelng used. Don't take
chances—tearn about the hazards of carbon monoxide .
heating expert check your home for its air supply needs.

If further information is required contact your local Gas Safety Inspector.

I didn't dare demand any-
thing for December. 1 was
getting leery of the old
witch's moods. Apparently
sensing my queasiness, she
threw in. the works: 12 in-
ches of snow; warm’ rain;
green ‘grass; temperatures

‘from zero to almost hot.

Fickle wench.

My grandboys came dovi1.
from the frozen'north, brag-
ging about it, ‘The snow’s
tight over my head, Gran-
dad,"” and were kicked out
into the backyard in their
cumbersome . snow-
boots and great bulky snow:
suits to play in the grass.
They could have gone out in

shorts and fiddled with the.
. hose, their usual July’ pas-

time,

My son arrived home from
South America, expecting to
freeze to death, blood thin-
ned from five years in a trop-
ical climate, was exhilarated

by the snow, and a week later |

was running around ina light

nearly. half a centu-
ry taking the rural mail on
days when he'd set out.in the
morning with a horse and
culter and nobody knew
‘when, or if, he'd ever get
back, slipped on a bit of ice
this past crazy December and
broke some bones,

But don’t worry. We'll all
pay for this once-in-a-gener-
ation aberration of Mother
Nature. As U write, it’s just a
litde nippy, sun shining, blue
skies, and skeptical Cana-
dians going around shaking
their, heads and ’ muttering

sthat, ‘We're gonna get it one

of these days.!” And they’ re
right. 4

would be for the party that

mise to’ send everybody
south. Just close up the coun-
try for the winter, except for
Ottawa, which might as well
be closed anyway. They
could send. us all in. cattle
cars, as the Germans did the
Jews, It might even put us in:

There is one other factor

”* that could save the day. It is

not only possible, but prob-
