Protect Your Child
Children will eat the
strangest things sometimes.
Plants are the most fre
quently ingested substance
in children under 5 years.
You and I know that soap
tastes terrible, but soaps,
detergents and cleaners ac
count for a large percent of
all products reported swal
lowed by children.
You can’t put a child-proof
cap on your bar of soap, but
you can find safe storage
areas and use other precau
tions to protect your chil
dren.
Carefully read directions,
special instructions and
warnings on packages and
containers of household
cleaning products. The label
must list all hazardous sub
stances and it may even say
“danger”, “warning” or
“poison.” It will also tell
first aid information. How
ever, some labels are out of
date and may carry incor
rect information, so always
call your physician or the
poison control center before
taking any action should you
suspect a poisoning has oc
curred.
MAY LOOK GOOD
Keep household cleaning
products in the original con
tainers. Don’t put them in
cups, bowls or soda bottles;
they may look good enough
to eat or drink. The original
container carries a label,
identifying the product and
its manufacturer, which you
will need in case of an acci
dent.
Keep the product in view
while you’re using it. A
pause to answer a phone call
or the doorbell is all it takes
for a toddler to reach an
unguarded container. So
know where the product is
and what your children are
doing.
Arrange drawers and cab
inets for safe storage. Clean
ing supplies stored under the
kitchen or bathroom sink, in

Refunders Have New
Way Of Brown Bagging
“Have I got a surprise for
you!" Susan said as she
stood on my front porch.
With a big smile, she handed
me a heavy brown shopping
bag.
“The instructions are in
side,” she called back to me
as she got into her car.
I looked down at the mys
terious brown bag. It didn’t
smell. It didn’t tick. And
fortunately it wasn’t my
birthday.
“What’s in the bag?”
asked my daughter Carolyn
when I walked back into the
kitchen.
“I’m not sure,” I said,
“but I have my suspicions.”
I reached inside and pulled
out a large manila enve
lope... and another... and an
other. There were four of
them altogether. One had a
big, red “No. 4” on it along
with Susan’s name and ad
dress. I opened it up.
The first thing that I pulled
out was a bundle of at least
200 cash-off coupons held
together by a rubber band. I
started to shuffle through
them and immediately saw
several that I could use.
I reached into the envelope
again and pulled out a
smaller bundle of refund
forms. I eagerly looked
through them and discov
ered some food forms that I
had never seen before.
Back into the envelope I
went. This time I pulled out a
handful of box tops, labels
and Universal Product
Codes held together with a

easy sure way to climb the success ladder of life, but
there are alternative ways of searching. The most
successful approach for the most number of people
has been through continuing their education beyond

“What’s it all about?” Car
olyn asked.
“The gang must have read
my recent column in which a
reader suggested a new
method of trading,” I told
her.
The instructions that Su
san had mentioned were in
the bottom of the bag.
“Dear June,” her note
said. “Welcome to the
Brown Bag Coupon Club!
Just pretend that you have
received a 10-pound refund
robin in the mail and follow
the same rules.
“Take from each partici
pant’s envelope whatever
coupons, refund forms and
proofs that you need. Re
place them with similar
items of equal or better qual
ity.
“When you are done, set
up your own envelope, be
cause you will be our fifth
and last participant. Put it in
the bag with the other enve
lopes and deliver it person
ally to Helen, who is

By lunch time I had gone
through all the envelopes
and picked out almost SSO
worth of useful coupons, re
fund forms and proofs of
purchase.
That evening I drove over
to Helen’s house. When she
opened the front door, I
handed her the brown bag.
“How do you like our new
