Parents warned about
certain baby gates
Consumer and Corporate Affairs
Canada today warned consumers against
the use of certain accordion -style baby
gates which have diamond-shaped spaces
between the slats and large V-shaped
openings along the top of the gate .
The gates are made of . wood or hard
plastic and can be expanded scissor-like
across an opening such as a doorway. The

diamond-shaped spaces are large enough
to entrap the head and neck of a child, with
risk of suffocation. More adventurous
children may slip while climbing the gate
and hang themselves m a V on the upper
edge of the gate.
Although it may be possible to find these
gates in some retail outlets, they are usual-
ly sold second-hand or handed down from
one user to another.
This warning follows the recent death of
a 21 -month-old Ontario toddler. The child
died after her neck became wedged in one
Of the top V's of the gate. This is the second
such death to be reported in Canada.
When purchasing a baby gate, con-
sumers are advised to look for a durable,
well -constructed gate, preferably with a
straight -topped edge on a small -meshed
screen or bars. The gate should be proper-
ly installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, with the lat-
ching mechanism located on the side away
from the child. The gate should be checked
regularly to ensure that it is securely m
place.
Parents and caregivers are reminded of
the need to supervise young children even
when a' gate is in use for safety reasons.
• My Christmas Tree Wishes
By Rose Bowler
If I could decorate my Christmas tree, just
with Christmas wishes,
I'd wish that love could multiply, like the
loaves and fishes.
That all hate would disappear, that fear
would vanish in the air.
That kindness will overcome despair,
these are my Christmas wishes.
I'd wish war be banished from the earth,
that each of us will know our worth.
That all people find peace on earth, these
are my Christmas wishes
That all men will kneel down in prayer to
one God we know is there.
For all of us to learn to share, to show each
other that we care, these are my
Christmas wishes.
That all reach out with helping hands and
our neighbours try to understand.
That hunger be banished from every land,
these are my Christmas wishes.
That every colour and every creed, learn
to do a kindly deed.
Give of themselves in every way, as Christ
did on that Christmas day.
Years ago in Bethlehem, the gift of
Himself for sinful man.
