"objects into them. PORT PERRY STAR REAL ESTATE -- Tuesday, November 6, 1990 -- 3 Keeping your home child safe Is your home a danger zone for tiny fingers and in- quisitive little minds? If you have small children of your own, or receive frequent visits from young relatives who like to "explore," then you should do some in- vestigating yourself to make sure your house is ""child-proofed." Every year, many children are hurt in household accidents which could have been easily prevented with a little foresight. By child-proofing your home and using some common sense, you can avoid accidents altogether. Remember that to a young child, a home is full of bright and interesting things -- like the dangling cord on a hot iron or an un- protected wall socket.

Also make sure you use rubber mats or skid strips in the tub, so toddlers won't slip and hurt themselves. Never leave a child unattended in the bath. You should also cover any sharp corners of furniture with protective rubber covers to protect children if they fall against them. It's also a good idea to make sure all your fur- niture is stable. For in- stance, check to ensure, that a chest of drawers won't tip over if all the drawers are pulled open. Also make sure the cords of your window blinds are kept out of reach of children. Youngsters tend to be fascinated by dangling objects and could acciden- tally strangle or hang themselves with the cord. They can also choke if they try to swallow the cord weights. Don't Leave Unattended Children should never be left by themselves to play in the garage, basement or at- tic. Often, there are many GUY LATREILLE ...
