BABY BROWNS In
BIG GDARBY CREEK
Wanders From Her Home
,a~ ta a - saTs sss-s-ssse stteas,s -
In Allen Township Sunday

Carol Jean Carter, 20-month-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley
Carter, of Allen township, was
drowned in Big Darby creek, few
hundred yards from her home, a.
bout noon Sunday. She had wand
cred away from the front yard of
her home, where she was playing.
1t was the second such tragedy
in Allen township this summer.
The other was Ronald Alfred Kiss,
2-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Anthony Kiss, who drown
ed in a rain-water pond back of
his parents home last April.
Carol jeans mother missed her
about 11:30 am. Sunday and i'm
mediately called in neighbors to
help in the search. The body was
found about l pm. by Arthur and
Eliza Fowler, neghbors of the
Carriers. who found the babys
footprints in the dust of a COW
path and followed them to the
creek.
Evidently the baby had fallen in
to deeper water and her body had
floated a short way downstream
where it was lodged against some
weeds in about a foot of water.
From the condition of the little
body, it is presumed she had been
gone some time before her mother
missed her.
Unable to locate Coroner James
NJ. Foster, the family called in
Justice William H. SnodgraSS to
act in the capacity of coroner. He,
Sheriff H. S. RooSa and Prosecutor
William L. Coleman all went to
the Carter home to assist.
Carol Jean was born Nov. 30,
1943, and, in addition to her par
ents, is survived by two brothers,
Charles J. Carter 4, and Merlin Lee
Carter, 5 months.
Services will be held at 2 pm.
Tuesday in the Miller funeral
home, with interment in Oakdale
cemetery. Friends may call at the
Carter home until Tuesday noon.

MOm0Xide Gas
Poisoning
winter Hazard

BOZEMAN-With the arrival Of
colder weather and the consequent
increased use of heating equipment
in buildings that are closed tighter
than usual, Montana agricultural
extension service workers warn rural
people of the dangers of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Last year, they point out, 1850
persons in the United States were
killed by poison gas. Studies made
by the National Safety council re-
veal that eight out of every nine
of these deaths were caused by car
bon monoxide, and 81 percent of the
victims we're stricken in their own
homes.
To guard against monoXide
poisoning the extension workers list
four precautions.
l. Be sure the damper in a stove
or furnace pipe is never closed so
tight that gases are forced out into
the room. 1t is better to regulate
the draw" with a check draft.
Q. A flue pipe to carry away
burned gases from gas ovens and
water heaters is a must" item.
8. Gas burners should burn with
a transparent blue flame, adjust
ment is necessary if the flame has
a white or yellow tint.
4.Never operate a gasoline engine
in a closed place unless the eX-
haust is piped out of doors. Open
shed doors before starting truck,
car OR tractor.
