HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-03-15, Page 7Poison warning! The Ontario Hospital Association has issued a warning to parents and babysitters of the risk of poisoning to small children who may swallow miniaturized batteries such as are used in watches, calculators and other household objects. The age of technology has provided society with so much that is good and useful, but_ at the same time new prdblems are to crop up. In a pharmacy services bulletin, the OHA says it appears that such accidents with these tiny bat- teries are on the increase. Swallowing these bat- teries can be fatal if the little power packs leak their highly caustic contents into the stomach. Everybody is aware of harmful chemicals in common household products and make every at- tempt to keep them out of reach of small children. But few pesple, including physicians, are suf- ficiently aware of the•battery problem. To be fore warned is to be fore armed. Carefully store these mighty midgets before use, and dispose of them with equal care when their life has ended. - SJK Robertson Roundup SWIMMING For eight weeks, starting April 3, the Grade 4 classes of Ms. Van.
