The pain threshold â€" the point where sound actually hurts â€" is easy to establish. It is in the neighborhood of 140 decibels. That‘s somewhere between the interior noise level of a diesel truck cab and the sound of a small jet engine 100 feet away. But experts are still studying the levels at which noise contributes to emotional stress. And the majority of medical opinion is that a steady noise level above 80 decibels for a long period of time can cause some hearing loss.

Mr. McLellan is a native of York county, born in 1907, and started with Toronto It took 32 years for Joe McLellan to get around to his retirement party after joining the York Township Hydro but that party was held last week for the popular superintendent at the Old Mill.

Statistics inâ€" dicate the emergency department, designed to handle 26,000 emergency Metro would formally adopt an official land use plan once the province passed legislation to make it workable.

They must be taught to swim before being allowed to play Mr. Guest added "The weekâ€"end _ assembly _ is designed to help all honest hearted persons to become ‘Conscious of their spiritual needs‘, which is the theme being featured during this assembly." To be effective, safety education must change attitudes of children towards safety, starting in the pram and _ continuing _ until adulthood. 1. Safety education of children at home and school. 2. Creation of a safe enâ€" vironment for children. 3. The assumption of parental responsibility for the safety of children. 4. The assumption of responsibility by adults, especially drivers, for the safety of children. Child Safety Week What can be done about it? The Canada Safety Council offers no easy solutions. But progress will be made in reducing accidents through simultaneous improvement in the following four areas: The toll taken of children‘s lives and health in Canada by accidents is staggering â€" some two thousand killed and tens of thousands inâ€" jured seriously. He states further that the conference‘s primary obâ€" jective will be to comâ€" municate its discussions and conclusions "not only to the political and â€" scientific agencies of the world, but also to the general public.‘ The threeâ€"day conference, first of its kind to be held in Canada, is being sponsored by APEO as a 50th anâ€" niversary project. It is being supported by federal and Ontario governments and is expected to attract more than 700 delegates, including 40 speakers. Purpose of the conference is to examine causes and effects of automobile pollution and to review and assess measures that have been taken by government Toronto June 26â€"27â€"28, as a forum for "clear, unâ€" prejudiced assessments of the true situation regarding automobile pollution."

But this can all be undone if the parent himself or herself fails to teach by example. It is not intended to give parents guilt complexes about safety.

They do A safe environment inâ€" cludes living in a home that is not a fire trap. Leading causes of fire are smoking, electrical hazards. and defective heating. A safe environment includes a car in which child passengers are secured by restraining devices.

The very young should never be left alone in baths or wading pools. in any but shallow bodies of water. Mr. Bradley also referred to the fact that fears have been expressed that the conference will become merely another unâ€" productive activist approach to the problem or that it is designed to reach some predetermined conclusions. ‘Nothing could be further Says Mr. Bradley: "There has been much conflicting evidence produced over the past two or three years as to the nature and seriousness of the problem. One of the main purposes of the conference will be to review this evidence in the light of existing knowledge and hopefully, to come to some conclusion on the extent of the problem and the efâ€" ficiency of the remedies applied to date. Finally, it is hoped to produce recomâ€" mendations for the future which will be directed toward the virtual elimination of the problem â€" or its reduction to a point where it is no longer a serious polluter of our enâ€" vironment." ful exhaust gases from automobiles. and industry to reduce and eventually eliminate harmâ€" HIS NEWEST STORE AT , 2181 WESTON RD.

But Canada has need for all these different types of inâ€" dividuals. Guard their lives. Always be on the lookout for the safety of children. Always give them a break. They are the the future of the country. This is where the responsibility of all adults for the safety of children is most important. Should a child be sentenced to death because a driver wants to go at maximum speed through a residential area and a youngster makes a mistake? Adults must recognize that there are many kinds of children â€" some careful, some riskâ€"taking, some too careful for their own good (like the driver who goes 25 mph in a 60 mph zone.) not start off as mature people with judgement. That takes a long, long time. They have short attention spans. They may be safe most of the time but unsafe at others because they are distracted by something new, something exciting. Because study of vehicle emission control involves many factors besides the automobile itself, it is exâ€" pected that the conference will attract participants from many occupational and professional _ groups.These will include medical doctors, lawyers, town planners, environmental _ engineers, public administrators, journalists and politicians. Some of the factors inâ€" volved are; traffic patterns and control, fuel chemistry, engine design, health effects, measurement _ techniques, communications _ and legislation. 11 A.M. â€" 1 A.M 241â€"5801 & (At Church) #FREE 24â€"hour burner adjustment *FREE year‘s rental of Natural Gas Conversion Burner ROOM AIRCONDITIONERS Forced Warm Air, Gravity Warm Air, Hot Water Boilers, Steam.
