Smoke Detectors Save Lives • ubrory Nevvs • 4 re de..ector is the only single device with the greatest notentiAl to • o^.ec or is ih© only single device with the greatest potential to prevent residential fire deaths. The firefighters of the McHenry Fire Protection district would like to present a series of articles, for public information, on smoke detectors. The objective is to encourage the purchase, proper installation, and proper maintenance of smoke detectors in every residence. We don t want to scare you, but....home fires are a serious threat to your family s safety. More than 6,000 people die and over 300,000 are injured each yew by fire in residences.

These articles are designed to answer your questions about smoke detectors and to help you select, install, and. maintain a smoke detector so that it will contribute significantly to the safety of your family SHOULD WE HAVE A SMOKE DETECTOR? If you re not certain, maybe you share some of the misconceptions that make many Americans underestimate the danger of death from night-time fires. "The smell of smoke would wake me." It might, if acrid-smelling smoke were the only thing produced by a household fire. Unfortunately, many home fires smolder slowly for hours before they bursjt into open flames. And<while this incomplete combustion is taking place, large quantities o£ toxic gases, including carbon monoxide, are produced. Carbon monoxide is the same odorless, tasteless and colorless gas that causes death when people breathe automobile exhausts in a closed paraoe nr horanea nt a loot •« » "There's usually plenty of time to get out." Possibly, if you're awake and if you have time to round up the family and if none of them inhaled too much smoke or carbon monoxide before you woke up. The spread of toxic gases long before flames become visible and noisy may not give you enough time. "Fires only happen to other people." This is perhaps the most dangerous idea of all. And it's probably just what all those "other people" thought before their fire occurred. One more thing: the law is getting into the act, in favor of smoke detectors. Detectors are already required in mobile homes, and many states and municipalities have enacted statutes that require them in new and existing homes and apartments. and calling the Fire department. by the Firefighters of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district Present Huntley Church With Historic Plaque Sunday, Oct. 27, the McHenry County Historical Society will present its ninth historic plaque to the congregation of ttie First Congregational church of Huntley, 9, North Church street, during the 10: worship service. Entwined with the history of Huntley, the history of the First Congregational church had its origin back in 1852, just one year after the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad reached Huntley station, the settlement Thomas Stillwell Huntley had begun in the late 1840's. Meeting in the school house at first, the congregation finally began work on the church in 1863. The church still stands today and was actually built according to plans decided upon at a meeting of June 29,1853. The records of that time showed two doors, one on each side of the church that led from Slate Pre-Natal Classes Prospective parents are invited to attend the November sessions of Memorial hospital's pre-natal classes.. The three-session program is offered as a public service by the hospital at Woodstock. Mrs. Fran Scholpp, R.N. said the program has been expanded from two to three sessions, each starting at 8 p.m., to enable speakers to tell about the birthing room, pre-natal care and the Lamaze program. Also, Michelle Johnson, R.N., co- head nurse in the nursery, will discuss infant safety and safety of a child when riding in an automobile. She will have an infant seat, used in autos to protect children, to show parents-to- be. The sessions will be Nov. 1,8, and 15 in the hospital's dining room. Mrs. Scholpp, supervisor of labor and delivery, said nutritional in­ formation for expectant mothers will be discussed, important information to help in the well-being of both the mother and the new child. Both prospective parents are in­ vited to participate in all three sessions, Mrs. Scholpp pointing out that virtually all fathers-to-be join their wives in this instructional program. Hospital and medical staff members present the program, show the films and lead the discussion as well as the tour of the maternity department and nursery.
