“By MARY ANN BURDETT |

” This integral part of our com-
‘munity has been in existence
‘since before it was -The Royal
“Canadian Legion and was in
‘fact a part of the British Empire
Services League. Over those
years it has very much maintain-
ed their objective of ‘‘Service to
Others”,

The Legion” has also. seen’

many changes. in its (member-
Ship), its Idcation and its decor
"but remained unchanged is its
~ dedication to the needs of our
~ veterans and their dependants,
our, seniors, youth and com-
“munity in general,

For decades now many local

‘gtoups and individuals have
- received assistance from this
organization. One of the may

things the Legion concerns itself’
with is advancement of educa- °
tion and numerous folks in the.
Terrace area have had: the: .

benefit of a Legion. ‘sponsored

Youth spotts, the Heart
Fund, the Cancer Society, the
Terry Fox Foundation, Mills

Did you know that more than
§0,000 children under five years
old will be poisoned this year in
Canada?

Common household items,
which are often within easy
reach, are the most frequent.
causes of these poisonings. Fur-
niture polish, lighter fluid,
household cleaners and sham-
poo are only a few of the many
poisons in your home. Prescrip-
over-the-counter

swallowed .by young children.
Household garden plants are
another common source of
poisoning, .

To protect your child and
young visitors:

*Keep all poisonous
substances well out of reach of
children. Do not underestimate
a youngster’s ability to reach,
climb and open cupboards,
Children are explorers.

® Provide a safe locked cup-
board for household cleaners.

® Buy products with chiid-

e Store all medicines in a
locked cupboard.

¢ Keep workshop supplies,

such as paint and paint thin-, {
ners, in a locked storage area.

e After use return all pro-
ducts, medicines and alcoholic
beverages to locked cabinets,

* Keep all products in their
Original containers,

¢ Get to know your plants:
and, do not keep poisonous
ones in the home.

If in spite of your efforts a
child swallows a poison take the
following steps.

® First, call your local poison
control centre and follow their
advice. Keep a list of emergency
phone numbers beside your
telephone, so you will be able to
dial help without delay. Time
makes a difference.

*When you go to. the
hospital make sure that you
take with you the substance,
medicine or plant ingested. .

¢ Keep a bottle of Syrup of
Ipeeae in your locked medicine
cabinet and use as directed by
your poison controle entre.
Makesure your bottle of Syrup
of Ipeeae is up to date as it may
deteriorate with time.

A “poison proof?’ environ-
ment will reduce the chances of
a child swallowing a poison.
Remember though, children’s
abilities change as they Jearn
and test new skills every day.
Attentive supervision is the best
prevention.
