Bethlehem Firemen
Have Training
For four evenings last week
Bethlehem Volunteer
Firemen simulated how un-
conscious victims can be
rescued down a 14 foot ladder
from a burning house.
It was a training exercise
conducted by Graham
Johnson of the N.C. Depart-
ment of Insurance and
firemen hope they won’t be
able to carry out a real-life
performance but have been
trained to get a victim out of
a burning house and to safety
and medical attention.
All members of the
Volunteer Fire Department
participated in the training
classes and there were
several firemen from other
area departments joining in
the program.
Each fireman took turns
carrying down a victim as
trainer Johnson pointed out
how to hold the victim in rela-
tion to size of the victim and
the fireman carrying him out
and down the ladder.
“We feel it was a very wor-
thwhile training session’,
said Larry McDaniel.

An Ounce Of Prevention...
Snow flurries can suddenly
turn into a vicious winter
storm, causing us to measure
a snowfall in feet instead of
inches. Being isolated in your
home can be a very real
possibility. By making cer-
tain preparations now, you
can ease the hardships you
and your family could suffer.
Here are some tips to help
you at home during severe
winter weather.
Two necessities are food
and heat. Stock an
emergency-supply of natural,
quick-energy foods that allow
the body to produce its own
heat efficiently like peanut
butter, raisins, and other
dried fruits. The amount
would depend on the size of
your family, but you should
have enough food for several
days to a week. Even if you
are within walking distance
of a grocery store, their sup-
plies may dwindle if roads
are closed to supply trucks.
Include foods that require no
cooking unless you have a
camp stove or other portable
cooking unit.

Jumping Jehoshaphat! Anyone who can accomplish a
five and a half twisting back somersault on a trampoline
is doing one of the most difficult maneuvers ever
achieved. Called the Wills, the move is named after the
five-time world champion, Judy Wills.
Make sure you have ad-
quate ventilation when using
a portable cooking unit.
Never burn charcoal inside!
No amount of ventilation can
diffuse the deadly carbon
monoxide given off by burn-
ing charcoal. If you're using
your grill, cook outside. It’s
safer than trying to rig ven-
tilation inside that may not be
adequate.
Try to keep an adequate
supply of fuel in your home.
Regular supplies may be
limited by storm conditions,
so use it sparingly. You can
observe fuel by keeping the
house cooler and by closing
off little-used rooms.
Severe winter weather does
not necessarily involve a
storm. Extremely low
temperatures can cause pro-
blems, too.
In an emergency, an alter-
native heating source would
keep at least one room warm
enough to live in. This could
be a coal-wood-or oil-burning
stove, fireplace, or space
heater. However,
emergency heating equip-
use.
ment carefully. Proper ven-
tilation is essential, and use
extra caution to prevent fire.
Keep a fire extinguisher han-
dy. Help from the fire depart-
ment may be (olave or
unavailable. Learn how to
‘maintain and refuel alter-
native heating units safely. A
local dealer or your fire
department can help you.
If your heat goes out, keep
water pipes from freezing by
wrapping them in pipe insula-
tion or newspapers covered
with plastic to keep out
moisture. Let each faucet
drip a little to avoid freezing.
Know how to shut off the
water coming into the house--
as a last resort, you may
have to shut off the main
valve to keep the pipes from
bursting.
If the pipes do freeze,
remove the insulation and
wrap them with rags. Open
every faucet completely, and
pour hot water over the pipes.
Other items you should
keep on hand include a
flashlight, candles and mat-
ches, a battery-powered
radio, and extra batteries.

Aneurysms and headaches
The sudden onset of excruciating "thunderclap
may be the first sign of a brain
hemorrhage. This condition may stem from an
aneurysm, where blood presses, extends, and fills a
weak portion of a brain artery forming a small sac
which then leaks into the brain.
In such a case, see your Doctor immediately. Don't °
take headache pills. Neurosurgery may be your only
