Don't leave
chi ldren
at home
"Christnias brings temptations
to many parents, while visiting
with neighbours or completing
last minute shopping; to leave
small children unattended for
short periods,'
"At the same time, decora-
tions, trees and wrapping paper .
bring an increased threat of fire
danger unless constant care is
exercised. ' '
The Fire Chief urges all parents
to recognize the fire danger of
this season, and not to leave small
children alone in the home even
for a moment. He points out that
the Criminal Code of Canada,
forbids such . action which
endangers the life or health of any
child under the age of ten years.
Parents are fiirther reminded
that under certain conditions a
Christmas tree can be ignited by a
single match to burn furiously' to
charred wood in a few seconds.
Care must be taken to keep butts
of natural trees immersed in
water and to ensure that the tree
itself does not obstruct access to a
door or window, Families' are also
lilted to review their home
fire-eseape plans for quick exit in'
an emergency.

Do you
know
Metric?
Here's a quiz to test your skill
of metrics at the supermarket. If
your score is low, then it's time
you became a sharper-eyed
shopper.
Q. T or F? The 2 kg. package of
sugar has replaced the 5 1114 size.
A. True. One kilogram weighs
just over 2 pounds so 2 kilograms
weighs just over 4 pounds. The
,,new 2 kilogram package actually
contains 12% less sugar than the
Imperial package which it
replaces.
Q. T or F? If you used to buy the
1/2 gallon container of ice cream
you would now switch over to the
1 litre size.
A. False. One litre is just under a
quart. Therefore 2 litres are just
under 2 quarts or a half-gallon.
The 2 litre size provides about 16
average-sized servings - plenty
for a family of ice cream lovers.
Q. Tor F? 300 g of jam at $0.60 is
a better buy than 1 kg of jam at
$14 50.
A. False. Metrics make
comparison shopping easy
because there's no converting of
pounds to ounces. If -300 .g jam
cost $0.60. Then 1000 g (1 kg) cost
100/300 x $0.60 --$2.00.
Therefore the 1 kg. jam at $1.50 is
a better buy.
Q. T or F? Eggs are now sold by
the tens rather than by the dozen.
A. if you said True, then you're
really off-track. There's been no
change in merchandising of eggs.
We'll continue to buy eggs by the
dozen for a long time to come.
Q. A package of cereal marked 24
oz. 680 „g has already "gone'
metric"..
A. False. This package has dual
labelling in both metric and
Imperial measurements. A
product hai "gone metric" or
undergone "hard conversion"
when" it is labelled only in round
metric nuMbers;For instance, the
24 oz. would become a hard
conversion if it were increased in
size to 700 g. If the 680 g were
retained, this would be a "soft'
conversion".
