Dominion to Have Atlantic Airports M Ottawa — To meet just such threats as possible establishments of a German air base in Iceland, the Do­ minion Givcrnment will concentrate this year on the development of mill- It is fair to call carbon monoxide “the creeping killer”. One of the great hazards of carbon monoxide is that it »S fairly common, particularly about garages; another is that it gives no warning of its existence. Fre­ quently, the press of Canada reports loss of life as a result of carbon mon­ oxide poisoning- One of the more re­ cent of those cases referred to an In­ stance where three men—in order to escape cold weather-— ran their truck into a garage and left the engine run­ ning to warm Up things. When they were located, shortly after, two of the men were dead and the other.seriously ill. Carbon monoxide, however, does not come only from the exhaust of automobiles, but will be found to be present during the melting and pour­ ing of metal, also where acetylene gas is used in welding; it is sometimes present during compressed air work; in tunnels, particularly after blasting; it is found in mines; in the manufac­ ture of felt hats; in some instances, in breweries; in the celluloid industries; in the process of distillation of cola tar; there is the possibility where gas heated 'irons are used; there is also the hazard in hot metal industries front- leaky blast furnaces; there are numerous other possibilities of carbon monoxide proisoning, even in the home or any place where coal, oil, gas or wood, or any other substance containing carbon, is burned incom­ pletely, -In short, carbon monoxide is one result of incomplete combustion. The chief and possibly the most com­ mon hazard from .carbon monoxide poisoning, however, seems to exist in garages, and it is to that particular situation that attention is called. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include a ringing in the ears; severe headache; gastric dis­ tress, accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting; a sensation of chilliness; a feeling of pressure in’the region of the temples; fluttering of the heart; a weakness of the legs; and sometimes convulsions and blurring of the vision. The Victim is often .pow­ erless to assist himself. In the event of suspected poisoning from carbon monoxide, the victim should be removed at once from the poisoned air to a clear atmosphere and a doctor called immediately. Un­ til. the doctor ‘arrives, the patient should be kept lying down. Energet­ ic friction of the chest and of the limbs (in an upward direction) will not only increase body heat, but will stimulate the circulation. Every effort should be made to keep the patient warm, by means of blankets, hot wat­ er bottles, hot bricks, etc. Care should be taken, however, not to burn' the patient. Rest is absolutely necessary. Under no circumstances must the pa­ tient be allowed to walk about after he has come to.. Men who have been unconscious should be kept resting at least two hours, if possible. In all cases where breathing has ceased, ar­ tificial respiration should be applied immediately. A knowledge of some efficient method of resuscitation is- necessary, and your attention' is called to Bulletin 178A, describing the prone pressure method, issued by the Indus­ trial Accident Prevention Associa­ tions. So far as carbon monoxide poison­ ing in garages is concerned, there are some things that can be done, as fol­ lows-:—- 1— See that there is reasonable ven­ tilation in the garage. 2— Refrain from running the engine in a closed garage. If it is necessary to run the engine in a garage, see that doors and windows are open. 3—See that the carburetor and the motor are in proper condition, so that there wilt be a fairly complete com­ bustion of your fuel. 4— -All cats should be inspected reg­ ularly for leaky exhaust connections, loose and broken floor boards and de­ fective floor coverings, exhaust pipes and mufflers. 5— Get out of your cat and into the fresh air at the first sign of headache, smarting eyes, dizziness, sickness or drowsiness. 6— -Sec that the exhaust pipe dis­ charges beyond the tear of the body of the car. 7— See that there is reasonable Ven­ tilation. in your own car, and avoid sealing the car by closing all windows and vents. The hazard of carbon monoxide is universal, and it is fair to state that the hazard, exists, in some degree, in all industries, and in every home. Contrary to some opinions, there is no natural immunity _to. carbon monoxide, nor is there an acquired immunity. Repeated exposure, appar- ently, produces identically the same effect each time. Some authorities say that under repeated exposure to small quantities the primary stage of car­ bon monoxide poisoning tends to be­ come chronic and’heightened in effect. It is vital to remember that contin­ uous exposure- to a very low concen­ tration of carbon monoxide, over a sufficient length of time, can produce the same toxic effect as short expos­ ure to a higher concentration. In public garages, or any garage where it is necessary to do consider­ able work on a car and to run the en­ gine, provision should be made for a suitable flexible- hose of sufficient length to permit one end to be attach­ ed to the automobile exhaust, while the other end is placed outside of the garage to carry the exhaust gas in­ directly into the open air. Air con­ taining more than 0.2% of cai'bon monoxide endangers life, Dealing with automobiles, there are certain hazards that you should look for in your exhaust system. These in­ clude leaky gaskets, holes in either the muffler or the piping, broken or loose brackets that may cause such leaky gaskets, and loose baffles. Careful in­ spection of the exhaust system is ne­ cessary^ therefore, because the evi­ dence tends to show that many.auto­ mobile accidents may have been caus­ ed, in part, by the condition of the driver, who had been slightly poison­ ed by carbon monoxide. No one doubts the ability of carbon monoxide to kill, but too many fail to realize the fact that carbon monoxide may lower the physical and mental reac­ tions of the motorist. Carbon monox­ ide, therefore, may be the reason why experienced drivers, on straight high­ ways, in broad daylight, run off the road or crash head-in into an ap­ proaching vehicle. Remember, therefore, that fresh air is the one sure safeguard against car­ bon monoxide poisoning. Warning 'In all serious cases of gas- poison­ ing the patient must be watched care­ fully, as relapses are frequent. If the breathing again becomes shallow, very slow, or threatens to cease, artificial respiration should be resorted to im­ mediately. “Headache” powders or tablets should never be given to re­ lieve headache due to the inhalation of carbon monoxide gas—serious at­ tacks of hear.t failure have been re­ ported, following the administration of such drugs in gas poisoning. some form or other, and over 50% of elementary public school children re­ ceive milk, either free or on payment of a half-penny for a third of a pint, under the milk-in-schools scheme. In 1937, 44,000 school children obtained meals at the school canteen. The report quotes with satisfaction “the constantly growing evidence that pasteurization has no significant effect upon the nutritive value of milk,” This will be news for the opponents of pasteurization who day by day, find the ground .slipping from beneath their feet. < THE LIE DETECTOR “There is actually no .lie detector/’' says the Journal of the American Medical Association, The present status of the question is controversial The underlying principles may be sound but these as well as the appar­ atus in -use are exceedingly compli­ cated except to a trained medical psy­ chologist or a 'forensic medical ex-, pert or to an operator skilled in the use of delicate machinery. There are m'any polygraphs or lie detectors in existence. The best and highest-pric­ ed ones are so complicated that they are useless for practical purposes^ “The inevitable result,” says the Journal, “is that the majority of those using lie detectors for police depart­ ments and commercial firms have no knowledge of underlying and are using the method chological third degree. principles as a psy- CAPTURE BANK ROBBERY SUSPECTS HOW TO BEAUTIFY HOME SURROUNDINGS The home should be regarded as the first centre of beauty. With beautiful 'surroundings a home is not only a de­ light to those intimately connected with it but also to those who travel the adjacent roads and byways. For those who have a desire to make their home surroundings a joy to themselv­ es and to everybody who may see it, the booklet “Beautifying the Home Grounds of Canada,” will prove a helpful and encouraging document. A limited number is available from the Canadian Horticultural Council, 114 Wellington Street, Ottawa, at a nom­ inal price of 10 cents. The booklet has chapters on land­ scape architecture, how to make a lawn, the flower garden, furniture, rock gardens, pools, the kind of shrubs, plants, and trees that may be grown in the various parts of the Do­ minion, with plans and illustrations. The time of year is approaching when the best of all pursuits—gardening will be in full swing. NUTRITION OF THE SCHOOL CHILD The Medical Officer of the English Board of Education gives first place in his report for 1037 to problems of nutrition among school children a fea­ ture of which is the provision of milk and meals. He points out that the consumption of a sufficient quantity of milk is, in most cases, the key to the improved nutrition of the school child. Over of. English Boards of Education now provide milk in William Welsh, 25, Hilliardton, and Thomas Roberts, 38, no address, with police after they were captured by WK York Township police soon after the Markham, Ont, bank robbery. They were charged with armed robbery.
