Cites Health
Hazards Of
Private Pool

While private pools can De fun
Cor children, they can also be as
dangerous, from the health stand
point. Stanley Sleiko, East Cleve-
lands sanitary officer, warns. Mr..
Slejko is urging all owners of pri-
vate pools to call at the Depart
ment of Health, first floor. City
Hall, for a free copy of pamphlet
on the care of private pools. The
pamphlet has been compiled by the
Swimming Pool Committee of the
Cleveland Division Of Health with
the cooperation Of the health de-
partments of East Cleveland.
Cleveland Heights and Lakewood.
1t is pointed out that diseases,
such as common colds, pink eye,
skin infections or diarrhea can be
transmitted from one child TO
another by close association. There
fore it is recommended by these
health authorities, that a pool be
used only by the children of one
family, and that each child should
be in apparently good health before
using the pool no running
noses, no sores, no colds, no loose
bowels.
1t is further recommended that
every child take a soap bath prior
to wading. If a garden house is
used to fill a pool, the house should
not be submerged in the pool water.
Keeping the water safe for use is
most important, Mr.. Slejko points
out. Chlorine, common laundry
bleach, sold under trade names of
Chlorax, Sail, ETC., should be di-
luted and added at least Is minutes
prior to POOLS use, and additional
amounts each hour. Diluted disin-
fectant equal one-half cup (5%
household laundry bleach) to gal
lon Of water.
Here are a few tables to follow
for water one foot deep in such
pools (six inches deep, one half
amount).
Three feet round or 212 feet
square, pint (1s cup added after

Four feet round or 312 feet

SAFETY:
1. All portable pools should be
emptied after each use and plas-
tic washed off with hose.
2. Pools that are more than five
feet in diameter, that are not
practical to drain, should be
fenced at least five feet high
or covered to prevent little tots
from falling in-owners of pool
are liable for any accidents.
g. An adult should be present
when youngsters are in pool.
"a child can drown in several
inches of water.)
4. Rough play in a pool should not
be permitted as it causes
accidents.
5. Metal and glass objects cause
accidents and pets use up
chlorine in the pool.
