(GOLD, RED or GREEN) '350"1 NOW $216°° For the past several months there has been great concern over the energy crisis in which this country has found itself. As a result of their concern, many people have started to do such things as carrying an extra can of gasoline in the trunk of the car, purchasing Franklin stoves, and a variety of other things to satisfy their heating and gasoline needs. As a result, health authorities, including local, state and national, are concerned with the possibility erf increasing health hazards from the storage of gasoline and other fuels and from the possibility of increasing ex­ posure to carbon monoxide from inadequately installed Franklin stoves and other wood or coal burning devices. According to the United States Public Health Service, approximately 1,500 people are killed in the Unitkl States annually as a result of exposure to carbon monoxide, 70 percent of these fatalities occurring in homes. Naturally, the winter months are the most crucial because that is when the hazard from the use of heating devices are th| greatest. The McHenry County Department of Health advises that if one has purchased a Franklin stove or similar device for burning of wood or coal in homes, it must be properly installed so that the gases produced during the burning process are completely removed from the home. Therefore, it is always best to have such devices installed by a person who is accustomed to installing heating devices. This holds true for small oil burning stoves as well as the wood and coal burning devices. The Health department states that carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless and therefore can be present in the home or automobile without a person's knowledge. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are headache, weariness and dizziness, which may be followed by nausea, vomiting, very severe headaches, collapse, coma and death. These symptoms are caused by the fact that the carbon monoxide has a chemical af­ finity for the hemoglobin of the blood and interferes with the hemoglobin's normal oxygen- carbon dioxide carrying power. Carbon monoxide's affinity to hemoglobin is 300 times greater than that of oxygen. To safeguard against carbon monoxide poisoning, the McHenry County Department of Health recommends an annual checkup of all fuel burning equipment in the home by an expert. Proper ven­ tilation is extremely important and there must be no leaks in pipes or ducts and no venting pipe should be patched with tape, gum or otter substance. Chimney vents should be examined annually to deter­ mine that they are free of bird's nests and leaves and similar things. Within the past two weeks an article appeared in the Chicago area newspapers describing the death of a mother and two or three children when the car they were riding in was hit from the rear and the gas can in the trunk exploded, setting the car on fire. This is one example Lack Of Interest In News Column Disturbs Scribe Now that all the festivities of the holidays are over and the decorations packed away for another year, we should all be back to our normal pace. With this in mind, I should like to remind my readers that this column has been less than bountiful. The lack of interest on the part of the residents in this area to provide me with any news will mean its ter­ mination. It only requires a few minutes tame to call and let me know about family gatherings, trips, birthdays, parties, community involvements, etc. If anyone has new neighbors I would appreciate a call so that I may contact them and in­ troduce them to the newspaper as well as this column. WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING On Jan. 9, the Holiday Hills Women's Club held its first of the kinds of hazards involved in attempting to carry ad­ ditional gasoline. Also, ' the storage of gasoline is very hazardous when done in an improper fashion so that fumes from the storage container are able to fill an area to the necessary saturation point where a spark can cause an explosion. Gasoline should only be stored in approved con­ tainers in well ventilated areas and preferably in the out-of- doors. i meeting of the new year. The Women's Club convenes the second Wednesday of the month. Prior to the meeting, the entertainment committee generally announces the time and date of the upcoming event. At the January meeting several important topics were discussed. A committee was formed to solicit nominations for election of the 1974 officers. The nominating committee members are Marge Connell, Bonnie Kellen and Connie Catanzaro. The annual membership drive dinner was re-scheduled for October instead of November so that it would not conflict with the holidays. The club thanked committee members who worked at the Christmas bazaar, thus en­ suring its success. Following the business meeting the gals played bunco. Prizes were awarded to Sharon Kottke, Bonnie Kellen, Pat Hughes and Kathi Beltz for their finesse at the game. Thanks to Inez Young and Vi Abbink for providing refresh­ ments.
