Speaker Emphasizes Speedy Action "Children are like vacuum cleaners when it comes to pick- ing up and eating anything in sight," said Inspector H.C. Tait of the Ontario College of Pharmacy. Inspector Tait recently visit- ed Hanover and spoke to a group of local pharmacists on the problem of accidental poi- sonings in the home and showed the film "One Day's Poison". Canadian statistics reveal that one Canadian dies each week from accidental poisoning in the home. Most of these poi- sonings involve children be- tween one and our years of age with the incidence reaching a peak in two-year olds. Inspector Tait told the group, although there are approximate- ly 25, 000 household chemical products sold in Canada, --cos- metics, medicines, detergents, cleaning agents, paints, insecti- cides --headache tablets ac- count for 25 per cent of all household poisonings. Emphasizing the importance of speed in reporting poisonings, he warned that the layman should immediately contact the nearest poison control centre, physician or pharmacist. These sources will supply the neces- sary temporary first-aid in- struction until the victim ob- tains satisfactory treatment. Bakker is continually modern- izing his home. Besides carpen- try he is an ardent gardener and he enjoys reading and makes good use of the Wing - ham Library. Mrs. Bakker en- joys housework and reading, but reads only Dutch. They are both in fairly good health. They are members of the Christian Reform Church in Lucknow. Unable to attend the cele- bration on Saturday were Mr. and Mrs.James Cupido and family of Edmonton, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney deHaan and baby of Vancouver, and Tina and Klaas Jouitsma of Wingham.

TAKE A SNACK FOR COFFEE BREAK if you think you haven't time to eat in the morning, make time. Get up fifteenmin- utes earlier and eat a substan- tial meal. However, if you are really one of those folks who can't face food at the crack of dawn, and many of us come into this category, take something nourishing to work with you to eat during the coffee break, Dear Ann Landers: My boy friend and I were on our way to a movie last night. As Bob and I approached the box office a raggedy little boy, about 10 years old, walked up to us. He had a heart -melting grin and seemed very polite. The ohild pulled at Bob's sleeve and ask- ed, "Can I have a dime, please, Mister?" Bob replied, "Name one rea- son why I should give you a dime." The little boy said, "Because you have lots of money and T don't have any. Besides you would never miss it." By this time a small crowd had gathered and I was becom- ing embarrassed, Bob answer- ed, "that's not a very good rea- son, young fella, If you want a dime you should earn it. No- body ever gave -me money just because I asked for it" The boy's smile vanished and the shouted, "You're mean, Mister," and he ran off. I was annoyed with Bob for having caused .a scene. I told him he should have given the kid .a dime and skipped the lec- ture. What is your opinion?— ,AZALEA. Dear Azalea: Sorry, Pm with Bob. A 10 -year-old who discov- ers he can get money by walk- ing up to strangers and flash- ing a smile is likely to decide that anybody who works is stupid. People who hand children money because they don't have the courage to say "no" con- tribute to delinquency in an important way. They destroy the child's initiative, rob him of the joy of achievement, and encourage the "something for nothing" philosophy—of which there is already too much. 0--0--0 Dear Ann Landers: My girl friend's father hates me like poison. Melinda and I went steady for six months. Her mis- erable old man suddenly ordered Mme to quit seeing her. He also told me if he ever saw ane around their place again I'd wish I'd never been born. Melinda and I are both 17— old- enough to know our own minds and our minds tell us we are in love. We have decided to get married as soon as we can afford it and her goofy old man can't stop us, What I want to know is this: What states will let people get married under 21 years of age? What states do NOT make peo- ple take blood tests? Just give me the information. I don't want any advice,—'(GER. Dear Tiger: One of the risks you run when you write to me is that you are liable to get advice. I'm throwing no information your way that might hasten a marriage, Buddy Boy. You sound like bad news to any girl's father—and worse news to any girl who has the ill - fortune to become involved with you. 0--0--0 h a Dear Ann Landers: When my husband and I are invited to a party, and have already accept- ed an invitation for that night, is it good manners to be speci- fic about our previous plans? I say no. If we have been invited to the Weatherby's home for example and the Smiths (who are also friends of the Weatherbys) have not been invited, it might cause hard feelings. My husband says it is not my place to worry about what goes on between the Weatherbys and the Smiths. He insists it is polite to say why you cannot accept the invitation. Who is right?—CROSSFIRE. Dear Crossfire: You are both right. If you have a previous commitment which involves a United Nations dinner or a P.T.A. meeting, it would be fitting to say just that. If, how- ever you are going to another party, be discreet and omit the names. 0--0--0 When necking becomes pet- ting, watch out!
