Safety And Health Briefs For Kids
Telephone Tips For Tots
Does your child know how to
make an emergency call? The National
Safety Council suggests that parents
take time to teach youngsters how to
contact rescue personnel when an emer­
gency situation arises.
A child should know how to
dial ” 911” if it is available in your
area. Otherwise, they should be taught
to dial “ O ” for the operator.
Having contacted help, the
youngster should give their name, ad­
dress and telephone number. They should
never hang up until the emergency
operator tells them to do so.
Passenger Restraints
could be saved each year if all motorists
would wear safety belts. Even for short
trips around town, the National Safety
Council suggests using a three-pronged
approach to safety on the road-wear
your lap belt, shoulder harness and drive
a car equipped with an air bag.
Vacation
If you’re taking vacation to
beat the winter blahs-the National Safety
Council suggests taking a few precau­
tions to protect your home while you’re
away.
Set a timer that automatically
turns lights on and off in several rooms
at various hours. A timer can also be
used for a radio. Having the house seem
occupied is the key to keeping burglars
away.
Park you car half way up the
driveway to prevent thieves front park­
ing vans or trucks near the house.
Be sure to have a neighbor
pick up your newspaper, mail and other
deliveries. Have a friend take your trash
out on pick-up day and have your lawn
mowed or shovel your snow.
Child Restraints
February 10-16 is National
Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week.
The National Safety Council urges
parents to take their responsibility seri­
ously and properly buckle their child in
an approved safety seat

Yb/ A ll you brothers and sisters
Listen up if you can.
There’s more to your life than gang
banging, rapping or smoking
crack or hip hopping, doing the
Humpty, or the running man.
I know you think you ’re deep and
you think you ’re hip
You need to straighten up your
lives
And get on the right trip.
When you go to school don’t just
sit and freeze.
Study hard and learn
Take pride in your self and in get­
ting A ’s and B ’s.
Throw your weapons down
Smash the crack pipe
Try to elevate your mind
And then you’re out of sight.

Respect yourself and others
know how special you are.
Be the best you can be, become
a shining star.
k
You ’re not a man or a woman
because you hurt or kill
each other.
But i t ’s a joyous feeling to help and
love your sisters and brothers.
k
Were all sisters and brothers.
It doesn’t matter if we’re Crips
or Bloods.
My father always told me that
blood is thicker than mud.
What does it really matter if you’re
wearing red or blue!
You, our children are our future.
We love you and we care.
It’s all up to you.
