Most of us can expect either snow storms, electrical storms, floods or maybe fallen trees that will leave us without elee- tricity for anywhere from two to 24 hours. Here is some advice on pre- parations for safety and comfort when there is no electricity, First of all, know just how dependent upon electricity is your household -- and then be prepared with substitutes. WALKING IN THE DARK The best candles are the sturdy, long-lasting type plumb- ers use, or votive lights, or In- sect repellent candles. But save the stubs of your dinner candles they're useful in an emerg- ency. The best candle holder is a hurricane lamp with a glass funnel to protect the flame. Some precautions; insert candle firmly into holder; when walk- ing with a candle, grasp the candle as well as the holder, shield the flame with your other hand, and hold the can- dle away from your body. Walk slowly. Flashlights are safer than candles. Having one for each member of the family is not ex- travagant; it may prevent a burn or a fall, and is good for children's morale. Check flash- lights often and keep spare bat- teries and bulbs where they're easy to find in the dark, Keep a stock of matches in a water- proof box there, too. If you must walk in the dark, move slowly. Hold your arms out in front of you with wrists crossed and palms out. If your heating source is cut off, don't try to heat your whole house -- just keep your- selves warm. Extra blankets and warm clothing should be on hand. Blankets will help keep something cold, too. Covering your freezer will insulate it. THOUGHTS FOR FOOD Maintain a small stock of canned foods that need no cook- ing: tuna, peanut butter, lunch- eon meats, tinned crackers, powdered milk and fruit juices. Extra baby food, canned milk and special dietary foods, if needed, are a must. Canned heat stoves are in- expensive and quite adequate for heating coffee, tea, soups or the variety of ready-to-use canned foods available. Keep on hand a supply of those your family especially likes. Do you have a hand-operated can open- er? Don't starve because yours is electric. Will your water supply be cut off? Don't forget the water you have on hand in the form of ice cubes and frost in your refrigerator, and the water in your hot water tank, Tap wat- er stored in glass jars with rub- ber seals will remain potable for six weeks. SAFETY CHECK-LIST Top on your list should be a first aid book and kit. Don't wait for the lights to go out be- fore you read the book. Learn what to do in case of burns, breaks or shock before the em- ergency arises. And make sure fresh supplies are in your kit. Never reach for medicine in Mr. and Mrs. Gershorn John,- ston were Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Johnston and family of Listowel, Whitechurch W.I. will hold its meeting on Wednesday, Jan 12 at 2 p.M. at the home of Mrs. Garnet Farrier.

He died December 23. While in British Columbia he worked in the lumber camps. He leaves a brother at Selkirk, Manitoba, and another in De- troit as well as his sisters. Attending the funeral from a distance were nephews Mar- shall McCarthy of Selkirk, John G. Francis of Detroit, Michael and Thomas of Farmington, U.S.A. Services were conducted at Kingsbridge Monday forenoon, December 27, with burial in the cemetery there. your medicine cabinet in the dark. The whole family can be- come a responsible team with specific duties in case of power failure. If these jobs are dis- cussed or rehearsed beforehand, there will be a feeling of "nor- malcy" about the situation when it arises. Telling stories or having games that can be played by candlelight are not only happy diversions for children, but keeps them close to you. Above all, don't panic. Telling the children in a shaking voice not to be frightened won't work, but remaining calm yourself will. Kong and the Philippine Is- lands, Misses Patricia and.
