Bullock again emphasized that
the visits are of a friendly nature

says Nelson.
Avoid carbon monoxide poison-

expert to inspect fuel-burning
equipment yearly to keep it
operating efficiently.
The engineer also offers these
suggestions:

to the outside. Also, never use a
charcoal grill or hibachi inside;
charcoal gives off a large amount
of carbon monoxide.
* Vent properly all coal, oil or
fuel-burning heaters in the shop
or garage. Do not run engines
unless the building is wide open
to outside air.
* In cars, trucks and other
enclosed vehicles, check the ex-
haust system for leaks that may
enter the vehicle.

being enclosed in a garage or
shop with the engine running.

headache, dizziness, blurred vis-
ion and inability to concentrate.
High concentrations cause
severe poisoning which produces
nausea, vomiting, shortness of
breath, convulsions, unconsci-
ousness and death.
Should early symptoms be
recognized, the remedy is an
immediate supply of fresh air.
The best remedy, however, is
elimination of carbon monoxide
poisoning in the first place
through adequate ventilation,
contends Nelson.

Ordinance shall take effect im-
