PAGE 8 - PLAINDEAU rt - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER«. 1*82 Fire Safety Tips Offered if • ( Home fires impose a serious threat to everyone, the National Safety' council said, but there are many precautions people can take to ensure their safety. Oct. 3-9 is National Fire Protection week, sponsored by the National Fire Protection association and supported by the National Safety council. The purpose of the campaign is to educate people on how to prevent fires, and what they can do if fire should strike. Last year more than 4,900 people died in fires, according to council statistics. About 80 percent of the victims were killed in the "safety" of their own home. "Most fires occur in low-income neighbhorhoods," said Sharon Gamache of the National Safety Council's Home department. Many people live in unsafe conditions and they don't know what to do if fire starts," she added. Smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths in the home. Gamache said that people often forget about cigarettes, or fall asleep in bed while smoking. The council recommends that you never smoke in bed. Also, you should not combine smoking with $3 Million Gift drinking or medications because this will make you drowsy.. The Council also recommends the following -Keep portable heaters away from draperies and bedding. Choose an electric heater that shuts off automatically if it tips over. - Hold cords by their plugs when removing them from outlets. Don't run cords under rugs or carpe& where the insulation can be broken. - Keep combustibles, such as paper products and dish towels, away from the range when you cook. Choose small, lightweight pots and pans. - Sleep with the bedroom door closed to serve as barrio* if a fire should start. - Install smoke detectors on ceilings or high walls near bedrooms. Replace batteries once each year or when you hear a chirping sound or periodic beep from the detector. - Keep your basement, closets and storage areas free of clutter. Store flammable substances away from heat sources. - If fire should start, the Council offers the following advice: -Always crawl or stay near the A Boost For Women Sylvia Scheinfeld, president of the Sylvia and Aaron Scheinfeld foun­ dation, has signed an agreement to give the 88-acre Woodstock Con­ ference center, in Woodstock, to the National Forum for Women, a new women's organization formed to foster discussion on all aspects of women's lives. This three million dollar gift is the largest single gift ever awarded by a foundation in the State of Illinois, and by far the largest contribution anywhere ever given to a women's organization. Under the ownership of the National Forum for Women, the Woodstock center will be the nation's only con­ ference center dedicated to positive change for women. Its location in America's heartland marks a State Police milestone for the women's movement and a new grass-roots commitment to coalition-building and cooperation among women. Through the Woodstock center, the forum will be able to provde resources for reflection, discussion, and plan­ ning among all women, whether they are scholars, artists, activists, homemakers, or business women. The Woodstock center will continue to° welcome all groups in need of its idyllic setting and excellent con­ ference facilities, as well as provide specialized programs for women. Mrs. Scheinfeld will officially an­ nounce the gift Sept. 30, as the forum launches a national campaign for the Woodstock center's maintenance fund. New Program Is Working It has been a year since the Illinois State police instituted their new "Policing For Results" (PFR) program on highways in Illinois. The P.F.R. program allowed in­ dividual troopers on the road to have an opportunity for input and decision making. Within each squad, officers were able to exchange ideas and discuss problems and possible . solutions, relevant to their area of responsibility." In addition to trooper involvement in planning, "job enlargement" was provided for officers by looking at voids that currently exist in the law enforcement community in Illinois. These include canine services, ac­ cident reconstruction specialists, hazardous material detection units and motor carrier safety ac* in­ spectors. Illinois State troopers assigned to patrol the northern Illinois tollway selected a number of objectives to be met during the first year of par­ ticipation in P.F.R. Goal No. 1 - To reduce the number of alcohol-related accidents, has dropped in the last quarter fiscal year 1962 to 95 accidents, compared to 110 for the first quarter, 136 for the second quarter, and 127 for the third quarter. Capt. Hugh S. McGinley, com­ mander of District 15 in Oak Brook, said, "I believe this is due to the enactment of the new drunk driving law in Illinois and also to the in­ creased number of arrests for drunk driving made by the troopers on the road. The first eight months of 1962 have resulted in 1,067 arrests for D.U.I, as compared to 526 for the first eight months of 1961." "The crackdown on the drank driver has also shown significant progress on our second goal, to reduce the severity of accidents," McGinley added. We had a fourth quarter total of 219 personal injury accidents as com­ pared to 314 in the first quarter, 251 in the second quarter, and 246 in the third quarter. "Policing for results is working and we will continue our efforts until all our goals are met to provide an im­ proved quality of services and safer driving environment to the citizens of Illinois", said Capt. McGinley. EYE EMERGENCIES You could become a victim of a potentially blinding eye injury. 4f an accident occurs, says the National Society to Prevent Blind­ ness, you should know what to do. If household chemicals or battery acids come in contact with the eyes, immediately flush with water and continue for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids open. Then seek medical attention without delay. Should specks get into the eye, lift the upper eyelid outward and down over the lower lid and let tears wash out the foreign particles. If they do not wash out, keep the eye closed, ban­ daged lightly and see a doctor. Never rub the eye. n-ram JONATHAN *5 per bushel Red and Golden Delicious Apples Also Now Being Picked VISIT OUR FAMOUS RED BARN ' Ready picked apples f reshly graded tn easy to carry containers ' Caramel apples ' Fresh sweet apple cider & homemade donuts COUNTRY SMOKEHOUSE 'Country Smoked Hams * Slab Bacon * Smoked Sausage ' Famous Wisconsin Cheeses * Taste a bite of our 1 ton of cheese RIOLE SPRINGS ORCHARDS OPEN DAILY 9 to 6 34920 126th St .•Twin Lakes, Wis.® 414-877-2436 Tak* Hwy. 173 East out of Richmond, turn loft on l»t road going North (lokovlow Wood) right at Ut rood going lo«t (Statollno M.) floor if you suspect fire. Don't stop to dress or pick up items of value if you have to escape. Test each door in your escape route for heat before opening. - If you are in a hotel or high-rise complex and fire should start, don't use the elevator. If you cannot leave your room, hang a bed sheet out the window to signal firefighters. Use duct tape to seal around doors to prevent smoke from entering. - Don't jump from a height. As a last resort, hang from a window sill or other edge and drop if you're on the second floor, not higher. Chain ladders for second and third floors can be purchased to help escape in case of fire. - Once you've made your escape, never go back inside a building that is burning. - Have primary and alternate escape routes from each room in your house planned in case of fire. - Above all else, try not to panic. Take a few seconds to compose yourself and plan your exit. If you have an escape plan and adapt it to the emergency, you can greatly increase your chances of survival, the Council says.
