Carey has pointed out a few i'm

every family should review. One
of the most important items is that
of giving the babysitters proper

event of a fire. First of all, make
sure there is a sitter for the
younger children. If a fire should
occur, the children are most i'm

then call the fire department. In
form the sitter as to where you
will be SO that she al locate you
without any trouble.
Also, with the advent of colder
weather, it is well to check the
heating plants in your home to
see that everything is working
we'll. See that all vents are clear
and filters cleaned. Oil the neces-
sary motors and if a furnace does
not seem to be operating as it
should, call a skilled repair man.
Leaking gas or faulty furnaces all
too often cause tragedies which
could have been aVerted with lust

Summer always ends with ar
accumulation Of papers, rags, bro
ken furniture etc., lying around
- probably in the basement. A
general cleanup of the basement
furnace and chimney areas is
must for the fall.
