"A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 13, 1998 - 21 ~.g== R 2 PORT PERRY STAR < URAL Roots Don't forget meeting at community hall Thursday Don't forget the smoke free meeting this Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. sharp at Caesarea Hall to see films on the building of the Blue Water Bridge, Sarnia, Ontario and Hoover Dam, U.S.A. Admission is free. A 50/50 draw will be held during the refreshment period following for those wishing to participate. Tickets $2 or three for $5. Everyone welcome I spoke to some on showing the film by Charles Givens on "Sixteen things they don't want you to know," dealing with money, but I found it too long to run with these other films so will leave it for our early February meeting. Lions Club I attended the Lions Club meeting as a guest to hear Jim Green speak on hazardous mate- rials last Wednesday evening. The three major items which shocked me were: A. Thank goodness for com- puters as there is over five mil- lion different chemicals around us and it is growing at the aver- age rate of 500 per week. Quote "Just look under your kitchen sink as a starter." All chemicals are on the scene with its prob- lems when out of control along Caesarea Albert Putsey with the subject it is mixing with air, gasoline, water and etc. B. Your house is on fire and the crowd has gathered along with the firefighters. One of your children you-can't find in the crowd. You have already been restrained from re-entering the building by the fire personnel, but you're bent on it. Solution: Have a central location away from the house where all persons who live in the house will meet. That hydro pole, the big maple tree, or a place like that. Parents make sure you bring this up a dinner and review it at least four times a year. C. Today with the airtight doors and windows plus the wrap they put around houses in its construction there's no daft spots for fresh air to enter. Thus we 'endure the problem of carbon monoxide poisoning. This is Tw deadly and has no taste or smell or feel. Solution: Install carbon dioxide detectors. Usually around $40 to $50. Jim also rec- ommended 110 volt smoke detec- tors with battery backup. If the hydro goes off the detectors won't work without the battery backup. By the way if you want to be a firefighter in Toronto you need more than a Grade 12 education. Saying of the Week On Desire All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.
