HEALTH & SAFETY Mainly for Mothers Ly Carol Hart Fire and Children Don’t Mix

under five years of age. About one third of the children are alone at the time. The Council on Family Health, a non-profit organization established by members of tjie drug industry to promote family health and home safety, suggests some ways of preventing accidents caused by heat and flames in the home. Never leave little children alone at home, no matter what the urgency. Never leave small children alone in a room with a heater going, a burning fireplace, or lighted candles. Children are fascinated by flames. When you have finished ironing, place the hot iron where it cannot be touched by little children. Coil the cord nearby, out of reach of little hands. Clothes of fire resistant materials help provide some protection, but care should be exercised wherever heat is used in the home. Some clothing materials are so highly flammable they can burn to ashes in an instant Other materials melt and burn into the body. Heaters should have protective covers, and be located where members of the family cannot brush against them. Fireplaces should be screened and the entire family should keep a safe distance from the hearth. punning candles should be
