According to Mr. R.B.

House call service call, a physician will be notified immediately. When symptoms described over the telephone to the nurse seem to justify aâ€"house Provided the patient is in a satisfactory enough conâ€" dition to leave the house, he will be advised to go to the medical officer nearest the hospital without an apâ€" pointment. If the patient is primarily seeking reassurance or advice, or if the call is of a minor nature, advice from the physician and a prescription can be given over the telephone. Humber Memorial Hospital has launched a physician house call service. The service provides for calls to be accepted at the hospital from patients seeking medical advise and a screening process from the hospital to a nurse who will either put the call through to the physician on duty or have the physician call the patient within a few minutes. FULL and PARTIAL DENTURES _ _ DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC DENTURE REPAIRS & RELINES. WESTON DENTURE CLINIC 1913 Weston Road, ctwl.:::;onnce 244â€"0705 Member of the Denturist Society of Ontario Both police and TTC officials believe that the best solution to assist operators is to radio equip all transit vehicles. The problem will require further study. The subject has been discussed with Metro police officials. It is perhaps the first significant indication from the TTC that problems could develop on transit vehicles due to the increasing urban population. _ It was considered that while such devices might give TTC operators psychological support it would do little to reduce the number of assaults. The time lag between alarm and intervention would mean that such devices wouldn‘t help much in the capture of criminals. May day â€" May day The TTC has investigated the installation of certain devices inside TTC buses and street cars which would set off an alarm if the operator of the vehicle got into trouble. The TTC has more than 1,550 vehicles. Fire Chief Simpson points out that tests have proved that the safest tree is a tree with its butt set in water. However, if a tree has dried out before it is set up, it cannot regain its safe moisture level. A dry tree can be ignited by a single match, to burn violently to a charred state in a few seconds. Even artificial trees can be serious fire hazards. Metallic trees are conductors of electricity and should not be decorated with strings of lights, but illuminated by floddlight. Some plastic trees, made from styrene materials, are flammable, unlike those made from polyvinylchloride. Set up the tree away from heat sources including fireplaces, TV sets or radiators. Do not allow it to block access to doors or windows in the event of fire. Switch off tree lights at bedtime or when leaving the house. All trees should be removed from the home as soon as possible after the Christmas celebrations. Check strings of electric lights carefully for worn insulation, broken plugs or loose bulb sockets. Only CSA approved lighting sets and only nonâ€"flammable decorations should be used. Declare the tree a noâ€" smoking area. Do not allow discarded gift wrappings to accumulate under the tree. Dispose of them as soon as gifts are opened. Even a green tree will burn if ignited by burning paper around the base. A happy Christmas can change in a few moments into a family tragedy, warns Borough of York Fire Chief Wm. Simpson, in homes where fire safety pre. cautions are neglected. Such precautions should head the list of every sensible family‘s preparations for Christmas, he says. The chief urges the public to exercise special care in the setting up and decoration of Christmas trees, and draws attention to the following important points: If plans call for a natural tree it should be bought fresh and green, and kept outdoors or in an unheated garage before being brought into the home for decorating. Then, one or two inches should be out diagonally from the butt and the tree should be set up with the butt in water, which should be maintained above the level of the cut. Chrismas fire safety
