that one of these days the hot sun may cause an explosion Please Ann ask the experts if such thing is possible My husband says Im nuts And let us know too if person MUST keep gasoline on his property what precautions should be taken Terrified In San Diego Dear Terry checked with Han Grigo technical consultant at the National Safety Council He said cannot stress strongly enough that the best place to keep gasoline is in the gas tank Storing gasoline is an open invitation to disaster If there is source of ignition nearby or if the container is heated by the sun the gasoline will expand flow over and explosion can occur This is happening now with alarming frequency especially in California Mr Grigo went on to caution It you must store gasoline store as little as possible and never in the house Keep it in an unattached garage or in shed Roundbottomed cans are better for storage than rectangular ones because they are less likely to tip over The best containers meet national safety standards

team who were lousy players When asked how the players were chosen he told me each captain gets to choose player as they take turns The best players of course are picked first The others just wait

gredients just the word color is used Does this mean it is natural coloring or synthetic dye Either unfortunately The Ministry of Health has recommended to the Department of Consumer and Cor porate Affairs that differentiation be made so that con sumers may choose whether or not they want foods which contain color additivies so it may not be long before the pre sent system is changed Food technology has taken giant strides since the last war but scientists only recently began to test such technologies in relation to health hazards and changes are being made How often we hear people say It seems that whatever we eat is harmful Well it is fact that between 1953 and 1973 the Canadian population grew by 49 per cent and cancer death rate grew 73 per cent and it is recorded that Dr Robert Bruce of the Ontario Cancer Institute has said We are instinctively attracted by colors and one of the reasons the decrease in the use of synthetic dyes is minimal is because processors are afraid that the consumers will not buy Little do they recognize that informed consumers are wise ones Some will remember the days when margarine was white and consumers had to blend in little packet of synthetic dye to make it yellow No one knew that this was health hauird but now that it is known consumers should be on the lookout once again for the white margarine Color is added to butter and cheese and yet that cream colored cheddar cheese on the supermarket shelves tastes just as good as its orange counterpart The red dyes Cirtus No and Ponceau SX are restricted respectively to the skins of oranges and to fruit peel glacc fruits and marashino cher ries These are many interesting and revealing books on the research of color additives and suggtst that you read them because of the fascinating albeit fearsome reports It is up to the consumers to learn decide and demand some changes ed sentence after forcing his way into her apartment mmfon SUE Bum to that between 60 and 70 per

when we get home Wi should always look before we pay would take them back and ask the repairman to remove the glue as you do not know what kind of glue was used If it becomes necessary you might try drops of yincgar on the glue to soften it and then try to roll it off with dull knifc but there is no guarantee what this will do to the color or material POLLY DEAR IOLLY For carrying Allltun violtts
