Clinton News-Record, 1963-09-12, Page 2BELL, by W. W. Haysom your telephone manager DEATH BY SUFFOCATION According to a U.S. government test conducted on 201 youngsters aged 3 to 5V2, abandoned refrigerators, freezers and ice boxes remain death traps even when equipped with safety devices. Induced into a refriger- ator-114e playhouse and told to come out as soon as the door was closed, two out of every five :children MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE, even though the door was provided with a release mechanism. Observed through an invisible viewer for up to ten minutes, some booed and played happily; some lay down to go to sleep; some pounded on the door without attempting to push it open; others simply cried. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE alert your little people to this danger and help Make sure that all abandoned or temporarily idle refrigerators., etc. have had their doors removed, or else are so tightly bound that no child could ever get into them. This is especially true now that older and wiser brothers and sisters are back at' school 'and tinier types must make most of their own fun. FACTS FOR LIFE The tragedy of a child locked in an abandoned freezer makes me wish a telephone had been in there with him. Impractical? Unfortunately, yes. But take another emergency where a youngster does have access to a phone. Would it be just another toy to• him,, or would he know enough to use it for help? Few parents permit their children to play with the phone, since this can, put it out of order. But I wonder how many ex- plain how serious an instrument it is and how to use it in case help is needed? From seeing adults use the phone, would a child know to wait for dial tone? Would he understand that if he pulls the dial back, instead of letting it return freely, he can get a different -number from the one he wants? I doubt it. But if these things are carefully explained to him, he will hear the re- assuring voice of the operator, if he •ever needs help quickly. NUMBER FACTS Since we seem to be on children:this column, here'S a puzzle they probably don't know, though you may remember it.. And believe me, •it's good practice for any budding mathematicians in your family! Take your tele- phone number and double it. Add five; multiply by 50; then add your age. Now add the number of days in a year -and then subtract 615. If all went well, your total should consist of your telephone number and yoUr age, reading from left to right. But make sure you have lots of paper to start with! • • lice of holding an CE OLL NOTICE is hereby given that a poll for the ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF HURON will be open on THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY the 19th, 20th and 21st days of September, 1963, from 8.00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m. and from 7.00 p.m. until 10.00 p.m. (9.00 a.m. until 6.00 p.m. and from 8.00' p.m. until 11.00 p.m. D.S.T.). , The Polling Places for the said Electoral District will be located at: SILLS HARDWARE, SEAFORTH; CORNISH ELECTRIC, West St., GODERICH; TOWN HALL, EXETER; TOWN HALL, CLINTON, for +he purpose of receiving the votes of voters who expect on the day fixed for polling, to be absent from and unable to vote in the polling subdivisions for which their names appear on the lists.
