Lock and Key Only Safe
Place For Pesficides

The natural curiosity of a small
boy is a wonderful thing. 1t leads
him into many strange and won
derful places. 1t can also lead him
into trouble says Miss Patricia A
Middleton. extension home man
agement specialist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
BE especially careful with farm
and garden pesticides she warns.
Regardless of how carefully you
hide them, or how high a shelf
you put them, the little boy" cur
them down. The only safe place
is a locked cabinet or store room.
Make sure the lock is secured
each time you leave. Chances are
that little boy is toddling along
behind you somewhere and that
storeroom could be his next stop.
Your reaction to this may be to
say lit can't happen around my
place. But it can. It's happening
almost every day. Careless gar
deners and farmers are leaving
poisonous materials in easy reach
of children, or throwing them in
trash piles where little boys love
to play.
Don't let it happen at your
home. Treat those pesticide as the
deadly killers they really are, Miss
Middleton warns.
An ounce of prevention is worth
all the cure in the world.
