ognizable: tightness across the
forehead followed or accom-
panied by throbbing temples,
headache, weakness, dizziness,
nausea, loss of muscular• con-
trol; increased pulse and res-
piration. A large concentration
can cause the victim 'to fall
unconscious without warning. At
night, if the sky seems blacker
than usual or oncoming lights
glare more than usual the dri-
ver may be experiencing mon-
oxide poisoning.
Immediate first aid is im-
perative for the victim of mono-
xide poisoning. First, he should
be moved into fresh air. If breath-
ing is stopped or even irregular,
artificial respiration should start
at once. The doctor should. be'
called inimediately, as well as
ambulance, fire or rescue squads
which have special breathing
equipment. Protect the victim
against shock, and keep him 'quiet
once he is revived. Avoid the
use of coffee, tea or other stim-
ulants, to prevent heart strain.

1RED CROSS II
Tasteless, odorless, color-
less -- harmless-sounding qual-
ities. Yet these are the proper-
ties of a, poison that causes
more deaths than any other. Th'e
poison is carbon monoxide,,, the
silent killer.
Carbon-monoxide exists
where motor-driven vehicles op-
erate. Since farmers usually have
several motor-driven machines,
the Farm Safety Council of Ont-
ario is particularly concerned'
that they be aware of the dangers
involved.
Carbon monoxide results
from the incomplete burning of
solid, liquid or gaseous fuelik It
accumulates in poorly ventilated
areas.
It causes death by asphyxia-
tion, by cutting off 'the oxygen
supply to body tissue. Even mild
doses reduce reflex ability and
large concentrations can' kill in
minutes.
All internal combustion
engines produce carbon monoxide.
However, an out-of-tune engine
will produce' mere than a
smoothly running one. Regular
tuning reduces this hazard. At
'the. same time the exhatist sys-
tem should be checked and all
gaTskets, pipe connections, and
holes in the muffler or tail-
pipe inspected and repaired.
The key to guarding against
monoxide poisoning is ventila-
tion. Driving with ,a window par-
tially open reduces the possib-
ility of monoxide accumulation.
The engine should never be left
running while the vehicle is.
parked, or in a garage, even
with the door open. Ventilation
is often insufficient to keep mon-
oxide from accumulating.
Driving with a trunk lid open
or with the back window of a
station wagon.op'en is regarded
as hazardous by safety experts.
Tests show exhaust fumes tend to
follow the vehicle closely. They
