Watch the signs
for hidden dangers

The Hazardous Products Act
was conceived because of ihe
alarming number of reported
accidental poisonings due to
hazards inherent in many o
rdinary consumer products.
For example, ina single recent
year there wer nearly 50,000
accidents reported to poison
central centres across the
country. And the tragic part of
this is that 17,000 of them were
children under age six.

Given Royal Assent in July,
1969, the Act is considered one
of the most important pieces of
legislation enacted in recent
years, and is a model for other
countries,

Under Part I of the Act it is
legal to import, advertise or
sell:

. Furniture, toys and other
articles intended for children
which are coated with paints
containing harmful amounts of
lead.

. Varnishes and paints which
are highly flammable.

. Jequirity beans, and any
loys or jewelry made from
them.

a
v

Other highly dangerous
products can be banned as soon
as they are identified.

In addition, under part II of
the Act, the manner of selling,
advertising, labelling or packa-
ging of some hazardous
products can be regulated to
minimize the dangers involved.

Since the Act came into
effect, considerable research
has been done in _ the
preparation of regulations
covering various types of -
consumer products. Following
is a list of some of the more pr-
ominent which have been
promulgated: -

Establishment of a
symbology warning system for

hazardous household chemical
products,
. Promulgation of toy safety
regulations

regulations identifying the
range of products affected,

The real tragedy of the
Cherry Point oil spill is that is so
aptly demonstrates Canadian’s
loss of control over what happe-
ns to their own environment. It
is ironic that the B.C. Wildlife

Boundary Bay for wildlife and
recreation, only to see the Bay

Twelve years of fighting to

hours by a major oil spill at the

Bicycling for
the fun of it.

You don't need to be a kid to
have fun on a bike these days.
More and more Canadians of all
ages are finding that bicycling
is fast becoming one of the more
popular family summer
recreations.

Bieycles can range in price
from a low of approximately
$40.00 for a partially assembled
standard model to over $500.00
for the specialized multi-geared
machines used for racing. It’s
up to you to decide how often
and for what purpose you plan
to use your bike and to spend
accordingly.

Buying a bike to “fit” is -
important. Don’t get one with a
frame too big for you -- you sh-
ould be able to stand while
straddling the bike. A rule of
thumb for assessing the proper
frame size is your inside leg
measurement from crotch to
ground minus 10 inches.

Weight is an important
consideration for bicycles as
well. There are middleweight,
lightweight and recreational
bikes.

The middleweights with
heavy frame’ and. coaster
brakes are sturdy and
dependable for children’s bikes.

Recreational bikes, with a
number of gear speeds are
popular with adults. They are
much lighter than the
middleweights but they are also
more expensive.

Theft there are the
lightweights. These could be
called the ‘‘sports’’ models of
the bicycle world and may have
Sto 18 gears. Like a sports car,

OTTAWA - New boating
restriction regulations under
the Canada Shipp9ng Act, which
came into effect on June 28, will

* provide a means to contro] the

operation of pleasure boats on
Canadian waters, Transport
Minister Don Jamieson
announced today.
_ The regulations will make it
possible for speed limits to be
imposed on designated waters
and for the use of certain waters
to be restricted to specified
types of water craft, It will also
_be possible, in some instances,
* to prohibit the entry of all boats
into designated waters.
The new regulation will
provide for police officers or
persons designated as peace
officers by the Minister of
Transport to enforce the
regulations, Provision is made
for fines of up to $500 for
infraction of the new
regulalions,
Application for enactment of
restrictions on boal operations
on waterways can be submitted

' by the various levels of

government or by public or
private bodies or individuals. -
The applications must be made
.to the provincial governments
and investigation -into the
merits of such requests will be
handled by an appropriate
depariment which will be
designated by each provincial
government,

if the provincial authority
approves an application, it will

these hikes require practice and
skill to handle. Weight in a
racing machine is a real guide

toquality. A lot of research and .

experience goes into producing
lighter parts, but lightweight
bikes have to be weli cared for
and may not be what you are
looking for. The touring or

recreational machines are

generally slightly heavier than ~

the racing machine with the
extra weight in the components
making them more robust.
The multi-speed lightweight -
bikes are fine for an adult rider,
but they aren’t recommended
for most youngsters. Few
youngsters under 12 or 13 have
the strength and coordination to
properly operate a multi-speed
modei, and besides the
lightweights just can’t take the
type of rougher treatment and -

people give their bikes.
