Life". It is a program provid-

especially those living alone,
parents who leave their children
with babysitters and people who
have difficulty with English.

provide for their care, in case
of fire, sudden illness, acci-
dent or other emergency.

vial and attached to the under-
side of the top right hand
shelf of the refrigerator. The
"Vial of Life" decal is placed
on the door of your refriger-
ator to inform emergency per-
