Handy hints to baby -proof Your home is an often -neglected task for first time parents When planning for a new baby, expectant parents are inundated with advice from ex- perts and loved ones alike. But when it comes to bringing up baby, and all its many prior- ities, the exhausted new mom and dad often don't know where to start first. Sadly, "baby proofing" the home is an often -neglected task; neglected, that is, until the first accident. While basic precautions such as never leaving your child unattended seem obvious, statistics prove otherwise. Accidents, not ill- ness, are the leading cause of injury for chil- dren under four. Here are some helpful tips from Toys "R" Us Baby Advisors: Top ten do's and don'ts for baby I. DO install a hook on the wall to hold up long telephone cords that might get caught around baby's neck. Use plastic plugs to seal off easily reached electrical outlets. 2.130 invest in soft, inflatable tub knob covers for the hot and cold water taps in the bathroom; this will prevent baby from turning the taps and getting scalded. 3. DO install corner guards and edge cush- ions on furniture to protect baby from sharp corners and edges. 4.130 use safety straps to secure baby in high chairs and swings. 5. DO tighten all hardware on cribs se- curely; even a small baby's movements can cause a crib to collapseif it's not properly as- sembled. 6. DON'T heat baby bottles in the microwave. It creates hot spots within the liquid that may not be de- tected with your standard wrist touch test. 7. DON'T use a pillow in the crib with your baby. It could cause suffocation. A pillow is for dec- orative purposes only. 8. DON'T store cleaning materi- als or other hazardous products in familiar food containers such as milk or juice cartons or in easily ac- cessible cupboards. 9. DON'T leave electrical ap- pliances out where baby can reach over and pull them into the sink or tub; they can cause electrocution when they come in contact with wa- ter, even when they're turned off. 10. DON'T use door stoppers withjub- ber caps; they're too easy for baby to re- move and swallow. Mother -to -be Cassie Dalrymple of Exeter makes sure her baby will be safe in its crib.

A resume detailing an applicant's work history and education is extremely helpful to an employer who is seeking a person for a specific job vacancy. Your personal resume should accompany your letter of application. Here are some guidelines to follow in preparing your resume: ❑ Make it clear, concise and easy to read - and no longer than two pages ❑ The resume should be typed on 8 1/2" x 11" white paper with enough white space to prevent a cluttered look ❑ Start with your name, address and phone number ❑ Next under a sub -heading "Work History" detail the previous jobs you've held - in reverse date order - that is, last job first. ❑ Use a separate paragraph for each position and precede it with the dates you held that position. ❑ State the job title, a brief description of the responsibilities - and the results you achieved. O The next section of your resume should come under the sub -heading of "Education". Start with the highest degree obtained or grade completed, followed by the name of the institution at which you studied. Follow this with previous education attainments. At the end, list any specific instructional courses you have attended in conjunction with your work. O Under the sub -heading "Affiliations", list memberships and/or offices held in professional or industry associations. ❑ Under the sob -hes g "Personal Interests" list any activities which- u feel will be of interest to the employer - such as volunteer work, etc. Your letter of application and your resume will be the factors that make the employer decide whether to short list you for an Interview. So make it as impressive as you can - but stick to the facts. We can help you get an impressive and professional -looking resume Call Debbie Lord at 424 Main St. Exeter (519) 235-1331
