Parent Education Program topic: Childhood health, nutrition and safety by Bethany Schryburt A good crowd gathered at the Cartwright Central Public School Library to join in the third of the Parent Education Programs presen- ted by the Blackstock Nursery School. Chris Cliff introduced, Dr. John Stewart, Mr. Bob DeShane and Barbara Mansfield. Dr. Stewart stressed the need for every infant to participate in th tors program of immunization to guard against the most dangerous diseases. How- ever many doctors, in- cluding Dr. Stewart feel that the '"'small pox" vaccine is no longer necessary with more danger of side effects from the shot than the disease itself; the last repor- ted case of small pox in the world was in 1977. In general most 'bacteria' can be treated with antibiotics, but a virus cannot be treated with antibiotics. Do not force children to eat when they are not feeling well, in case of stomach upset only liquids, no milk and the best liquid would be coke or ginger-ale defizzed. Fever less than 38.5 rectal temp. is a mild fever and could be treated with aspirin or body- temp bath. Cold water bath will raise the temperature because a child shivers. Bob DeShane, an ambul- ance attendant, said that the most important thing to remember during an emer- gency - "Control yourself - then take control of the situation". A person who has stopped breathing should never be placed on his back - the tongue will fall back and block the air passage. Turn them on their stomach with the head tilted slightly up and to the side. When there is a possibility of a fracture, do not move the patient. Poison - in most cases the accident could have been avoided if the chemicals had been locked away in a 'safe place'. Make the victim vomit if poison'is suspected, by sticking your finger down his throat. However, an unconscious person should never be forced to vomit. In the case of poison - Sick Children's Hospital - Poison Control Centre phone number is 597-1500 or call your local hospital. Most burns can be treated im- mediately with cold water. Cuts that are bleeding - a clean cloth should be pressed in such a way as to slow the flow. Nose-bleeds can be stopped by pinching the nose Scugog Island WI by Clara Dowson The Annual meeting of the Scugog Island W.I. met at the Community Hall on Wed. evening, April 18 with 20 members and two visitors.

Most homes in the area enjoy something of each of the four basic food groups at each meal. The downfall with most of us is junk food between meals. Thought should be put into providing colourful, nutri- tious snacks. Let a pre- schooler have a hand in the preparation for added enthusiasm. Peanut butter on sliced apples, celery or graham crackers - with a raisin "happy face' for an added flare. Some experts SN 4 a shorthand contest. Henry Street Collegiate. first in the cial contest.
