But children in all of these age levels have one thing in common. They are often in volved in poisonings that could have been prevented, says Ordie Hogsett, University of Illinois Extension safety specialist. To keep children away from poisons, store dangerous materials out of reach and locked up, Hogsett says. This means that tempting, sweet smelling creams and lotions should be kept in high areas of the bathroom. *#- Stor3 cleaning material in the kitchen separate from food. Hogsett also advises buying medicines with safety-lock caps and after you use them, tape the lids shut. Dangerous products should be stored in the original con tainers. This prevents the child who takes a sip from a "soda bottle" from taking a trip to the hospital. Another point: don't call medicine "candy". And destroy old products before discarding the container. If you put a full or partially full container of a toxic substance in a trash can, your child may find it. Remember that children may practice unusual eating habits when your back is tur ned. Warn your children not to eat plants and berries because even your backyard may have poisonous plants growing in it. Hogsett also advises not to stock up on dangerous chemical. Instead, try to buy the amount you'll need for a particular project. If you suspect poisoning, call a doctor immediately and try to identify the poison. You might look for an empty or partially empty container of a medicine or chemical The clue also might be on the victim's clothing, where the chemicals might have spilled; or on the person's breath. An estimated 500,000 children are poisoned every year, and 80 percent of these occur in the home. This fact highlights the need to make your home fail safe, concludes Hogsett.

What Just One Person Can Do Political Corner GOP Policy Committee Acts To Limit Spending The Republican Policy committee has overwhelmingly endorsed a Constitutional amendment to balance the budget and impose a limit on federal spending except in an emergency. GOP Policy Chairman Bud Shuster (R-Pa.) aid: "There can no longer be any question about where the great majority of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives stand on this issue. The imprimatur of the Republican Policy committee now officially supports the actions of more than 74 percent of the Republicans in the House who have co-sponsored a Con stitutional amendment to limit spending. The American people have a right to know that it is the Republicans who support a Constitutional limit on federal spending. • * • • There are many ways to make big money quick ly; unfortunately, most of them are dishonorable. • • • • Despite the short routes and quick cures, there is no easy way to anything that is worth while. In Adversity, A4 Sense of Mission On December 19, 1978, the Op-Ed page of the New York Times carried a letter written by a Nicaraguan priest. His anonymity was preserved because of serious threats on his life. "The political climate in Nicaragua is grim," he writes. "In Esteli, a priest was shot and we also are awaiting our hour. In a humiliating and violent manner, soldiers broke into my church and searched through everything. I am the victim of constant psychological torture...in the night stones are thrown at my house, noises are heard and steps...and this in the midst of the most exhausting work." As I read this account, I thought of my own priesthood!"! live in a comfortable rectory, the police are friendly and supportive; the political climate may be charged with divided opinion but religious freedom is secure and freedom of speech is safely preserved. I felt privileged to be an American. The tone and quality of the priest's letter reminded me of one of St. Paul's early epistles. It moved me very deeply. May I share more of that unknown priest's letter with you? "What will happen to us? Only the Lord knows his plans and decisions. The only thing that concerns me is that I remain true to Him. Only now do I grasp what it means to give up everything for the reign of God. I am proud to take part in the suffering of my people. I feel an inner power which drives me to continue." He then reflects on the possible dangers which await him. "Anything can happen: They can throw me into prison, torture me, or, once I am caught, eliminate me. They have the demonic power. I possess only the strength of my conviction, but it is a match for theirs, and will, I am certain, come through at the critical time." He continues, "I am just as convinced today as on the day of my ordination to the priesthood that despite our Gethsemanes, the reign of God comes ever and again throughout history. In the midst of thousands of cares and efforts, it has become clear to me that we are useless servants and that the Lord, out of his grace, has made us into apostles. That is the reason I persevere. Successes are few. Nevertheless, everything goes on." And then he concludes his letter, "The hour of martyrdom in Latin America has already broken upon us. But from our suffering and blood, a new church will arilb." God gave each one of us a different mission in life. When we have the sense of what it is, we grow stronger in adversity. When we lose it; we lose our very selves. (For a free copy of the Christopher News Notes, "Prayer," send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to The Christophers, 12 E. 48th St., New York, NY 10017.
