There are 33, youngsters - average age, 18 years- coming to Goderich and a few more billets area needed for their Overnite stay, Tuesday_ nite, August 29. Surely some of you with an extra bed would offer one or more of these young musicians hospitality for their short stay. The .main reason for private home billets, is the give and take experience between them and the host families.- Priceless! Do call John Park 524-7591 or Don 'McMillan at ,the Hydro office --soon. This Friday is Penny Carnival at our Judith Gooderham Park Ba ,gro mcis, DA.d` yen see the young gremlins carrying a• sandwich board spn their back advertising their fun and games, boat rides, horror house, food etc. etc. = and I believe sale of their crafts = walking around town hoping you'd rtice - and remember to come to the park? One 'poster, which I thought was wonderful, advertised a trip - to Detroit Zoo, August 31 for over 80 youngsters - age 9 and over 1 for about $3.75 each. Two buses are ready. On asking how they could possibly take all those kids for that price, John Park, Rec Drctr, told me it included the bus trip and price' into the Zoo for the whole group including the older folks who went along. The kids take two lunches so this makes a pretty cheap day ., for them. • Now you couldn't take your car down for that price and this is what really hurts they may not be able to go since they lack enough interested adults to ga. along for the trip. What a shame when it i`s all set up. They need about 8 adults to. share their day - How about it? Contact John Park right, away and he can probably still swing it., John isy that fair haired, good-- looking young man who is working 'so hard at the park seeing that your •kids: learn to swim, learn to do many crafts - actually doing . a great baby sitting job for you each day, besides teaching them water safety and other priceless things.

Be careful. - chemicals is Many women who would never let their children play with dangerous household chemicals unknowingly . create another hazard by mixing cleansers..to produce "better cleaning effects,' says the Council on Family Health in Canada. The danger in mixing different chemicals together, says the Council, a non-profit gr•ganization • sponsored by leading members of the drug industry, is that highly toxic gases can be released that are capable of producing pulmonary damage and even death. , Chloride bleach and ammonia are two -of the most commonly misused products, say the Council spokesmen. Chlorine bleach, when added to ammonia ,or acid compounds such as rust remover, bathroom ..bowl. cleaner, lye, or vinegar, may produce chlorine gas. This gas, once used in chemical warfare, causes a ,stinging or burning sensation of the eyes, nose and throat, and :brings on sneezing or coughing. Some products are dangerous without being mixed. One of these is oven cleaner which is caustic and can cause skin irritation. ,The Council suggests that users follow label directions ' completely, wear protective gloves and use only in well ventilated kitchens. Another dangerous 'chemical is carbon tetrachloride, ahighly Yourhands keepyou intouchwitii theworlcL *Take good care of your hands.

Best method' of disposal is- to pour 'the liquid into the sink, then discard the empty bottle or can. Poisoning from inhaling dangerous vapors usually happens in poorly ventilated areas such as a bathroom With the door closed. The 'concentration, of gases builds up and can overwhelm a child or adult if allowed to reach a high level.. ' • For this'reason,, 'the Council advises housewivesalways • to keep _a window open when using cleaning compounds. If vapors cause irritation, cleaning should be discontinued until the air has cleared. . Use of household chemicals mixed together is particularly dangerous when child'r`en are, in. the 'home. Their bodies react, to dangerous gases faster than an ,adult's and they can be overcome in a matter of minutes: The Council advises all homemakers to read directions on all , cleansers ' thoroughly, then take even greater precautions than,the manufacturer recommeds. , 4• If you have' tried to buy tires recently, or if you, are ,planning to 'WY' some in the near future, ybu will see it is almost impossible to make a rational choice because there is no clear terminology and grading for tires. Do not be misled by such terms as premium; deluxe, or first line , because they mean nothing. Each manufacturer can set his own standards for these term. Add' to ' this other technical expressions such as plies, ,bias -belted, radial, and cords,' and, the , consumer becomes thoroughly. confused.

For the family car, which 'is used daily for work with 'some highway driving thrown in, a high o quality bias tire, or bias -belted tire should be adequate. For frequent highway driving at high speeds, high quality, bias -belted or radials are suggested for best service, even if they are more expensive. The 'worst enemy to increased tire wear is incorrect pressure. Inflating • tires above recommended pressure will cause excessive . wear in the centre of the tire and give a bumpier ride. Far worse, 'however,' is under -inflation. , When air pressure is less than recommended, flexing in the. sidewalls increases,, causing excessive heat build-up and possibly .a blow-out. A handy pocket tire gauge is the best way. to ensure that tire's are properly inflated. Guarantees and warranties have to be checked carefully.
