Page 12, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, December 3, 1986 Christmas toys and Christmas joy (NC) -- How can you be certain that the toys you give your children this Christmas are not dangerous or in any way hazardous? Thanks in large measure to regu- lations under the Hazardous Pro- ducts Act of Consumer and Corpor- ate Affairs Canada, adults shop- ping for gifts for their little ones can be sure that the new toys they buy are among the safest in the world. But even the safest of toys can be dangerous or hazardous if im- properly selected or misused. With that in mind, the Product Safety Branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada suggests a number of ways you can help minimize hazard or risk to your children when you choose their toys this Christmas: © When shopping, use age labelling, safety recommendations and other packaging information as a guide to your purchase decisions. For in- stance, a chemistry set marked as suitable or safe for a 10 to 12 year old might be unsafe if used by a younger child; e If purchasing gifts for toddlers or younger children, stay away from toys with sharp points and edges or small parts which could work loose and be inhaled or swallowed; e Be careful of mobile toys with strings, cords or loops. They should not be used in cribs or playpens Consumer Affairs or stand and thus become en- tangled; e When selecting electrical toys, look for the Canadian Standards Association label. It signifies a high safety standard and appears on such items as transformers for toys, hobby and train sets, as well as on adaptors used for video games; e If you are giving your child a shooting game which uses darts, ar- rows or any type of projectile, be sure to emphasize it should never be pointed at another child or adult; ¢ Read all instructions carefully so you are able to show your child how to use the toys properly. To a child, Christmas is a time of joy. By carefully selecting this year's toys and ensuring they are properly used, you will help make your child's Christmas not only joy- ful, but safe as well. If you have purchased or received as a gift a toy you think may be hazardous, simply write to the re- gional office of the Product Safety Branch, Consumer and Corpor- ate Affairs Canada.

Bell became an integral part of the local scene when it bought Long Lac Telephones Ltd. on August 31, 1954 and acquired both the Terrace Bay and Schreiber exchanges, as well as six other exchanges: Long Lac, Beardmore, Geraldton, Marathon, Nipigon and Red Lake. Telephone service in Schreiber started in 1939 when a municipal telephone system was established. Later the Long Lac company took over and there were 300 phones in operation in Schreiber when Bell became the owner. Long distance charges were eliminated on all calls between Schreiber and Terrace Bay in December, 1957. Dial operation, with seven digit dialing, started in 1969 in Schreiber. There were 400 phones in the Terrace Bay exchange when Bell took over. Dial operation came in 1952 and all number calling in 1962. An extension was added to the exchange building on Radisson Ave. in 1975. Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) was inaugurated in both Terrace Bay and Schreiber in 1977. : If you have any concerns or suggestions you wish to bring to my attention, please write to me care of Bell Canada, floor 3, at 106 Centennial Square, Thunder Bay, P7E 1H3. : CANADA Asus Comp ap A \ 7 Ad ) \ 6 ae \ Fis) roa a SN Seek e \ 2 a C. \.
