12.A GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR., THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1969,
A kick to remind
us of fire dangers
A kick that North Americans
will never forget was delivered in
1871 by' Mrs. O'Leary's cow.
The kick was directed at a
kerosene lantern. The fire that
resulted destroyed the heart of
Chicago, and left an indelible
historical reminder that
flammable liquids are a hazard.
What the kick did not
dramatize, says the Council on
Family Health in Canada, is that
flammable liquids are potential
poison hazards in the home.
When gasoline, kerosene,
cleaning fluids, paints and paint
thinners, lighter fluids, solvents
and other liquids described on
the label as flammable are left
within reach of children, they
may cause poisonings, says the
Council, a non-profit
organization sponsored as a
public service by leading
members of the drug industry to
promote home safety and family
health. ,
A recent survey indicates that
thousands of Canadian children
under five years of age annually
accidentally swallow some of
these liquids. Many are
hospitalized.
It is common belief that
flammable liquids, especially
kerosene and othe petroleum
distillates, taste too unpleasant
for children to take more than a
sip. Reports show that a
considerable number drink an
ounce or more. One year-old
hoy drank an estimated five to
eight ounces of kerosene, with .
fatal results.
An 18 -month-old girl found
paint brushessoaking in a
solvent in the kitchen sink. She
sucked on the brushes, Then she
found the bottle containing the
solvent and drank some of the
contents.
A father poured cleaning
ffuid from a can into a glass for
easier use. Then he poured the
remains back from the glass into
the can. Unfortunately, there
was still enough left in the glass
to provide a few dangerous sips
for his two-year-old child.
What can be done to assure
the safe use and' storage of
flammable liquids, to prevent
poisonings to any member of the ..
family? Here are a few
precautions from the Council on
Family Health in Canada:
Do not pour combustible '
liquids from . the original
container into others, even for
convenience. Store them in the
original c intainer-s so no error
can be made.
Do not pour flammable
liquids into any vessel associated
with food, such as soda bottles,
cups or glasses, saucers, pans,
bowls, cooking utensils or even
jar lids.
Store flammable liquids in a
child -proof cabinet or closet,
preferably outside the house,
and preferably locked.
Always read the' label on the
container. There may be special
precautions of which you are
not aware.

Dental care
Frequent regular dental care
has many advantages, says thea
federal health 'department's
"Dental Health Manual".
It is more comfortable to
have a small cavity_ filled than
large ones. It requires a shorter
time for a small one, and
consequently, the cost factor is
less.:. The cost to replace a lost
tooth with an ..artificial one 'in
the form of a bridge is usually
more than ten times that of
having that tooth filled as soon
as it begins to to decay. Regular
dental care is as inexpensive as
the upkeep of a radio or
television set, but dental neglect
is costly! It is like driving an' old
car. .To the cost of treatment
arising from neglect must often
be added that of "artificial teeth,
which do not compare, either in
appearance or efficiency, with
the natural ones.
Regular care prevents pain
and loss of sleep., It may prevent
serious infection. Most people
have seen swollen faces resulting
from abscessed teeth.- In
addition to . being painful and
disabling, such an infection may
distribute bacteria to other parts
of the body by the . way ofthe
blood vessels, causing bacteremia
injury to the heart and
undermining health.

Before canning- the summer's
harvest of produce, check your
pressure canner for efficiency,
• suggest food specialists at
Macdonald Institute, University
of Guelph.
An accurate pressure gauge is
essential to insure the correct
processing temperature of
home -canned foods. Ti test the
gauge, you can use a master
gauge or a 'maximum
thermometer, or you can return
the gauge to the manufacturer
for checking.
A pressure cooker must be
kept clean and handled carefully
for safe operation. Do not -use
the gauge as a handle or rest the
cover on the gauge. Keep the
petcock clean and open. Check
and clean a hall -and -socket
safety valve after each use. If it
is corroded, replace it. Keep
proper tension in a spring -type
valve.

Prevent odors from forming
in the cooker by airing it
thoroughly. Always store ina
dry; well -ventilated place. Store
with the lid off to allow air to
circulate and store the cover
right side up to prevent moisture
collecting in the gauge..
1 When using kpressure canner,
follow. the manufacturer's
directions. Never operate the
cooker without Fat least a quart
of water and don't close the
petcock until there has been a
steady flow of steam`, for 7 to 10
minutes. Hold pressure as
