Christmas cheer marked the annual tur- key dinner given elderly inmates of the Tehama county hospital Saturday afternoon by Review No. 51, Woman's Benefit Asso- ciation of the Maccabees. Extensive preparations had been made for the event, and it was carried out in generous measure, the affair being largely at- tended. Befitting the occasion, an entertaining program was rendered for the ben- efit of the men and women who now make their home there. The Rev. Homer A McCarty, pastor of the Christian church, opened the program with appro- priate remarks on the hol- iday season. Other fea- tures were: Helen Ohrt, dance; Lois Steen, recita- tion; Erma Cloyd, recita- tion; Mrs. Mina Hart and daughter, playette; Levern Cunningham, recitation; Martha Cloyd, recitation; Elinore Shimanek, recita- tion; Otis Fay Fish, reci- tation. — Dec. 20, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

This past week was a perfect exam- ple. While many of us prepare our homes dur- ing drought season for the fires we are sure will ensue, many of us are of- ten unprepared for disas- ters that are not consistent in this region. Therefore, if both you and your animals are to survive, complete your emergency planning and preparation before any catastrophe strikes. As harsh as reality is, animals left behind dur- ing emergencies can be in- jured, killed or become lost. In addition, if turned loose, they can fall victim to exposure, starvation, predators and contami- nated food and water. Pets left inside a home may try to escape. If they succeed, the possibility is good that they will fall prey to the same problems as those set free. Your animals' safety is, ultimately, your respon- sibility. Whether it is fire, flood, or earthquake the following basic guide- lines are the same. Many evacuation cen- ters will only allow ser- vice animals and will not accept family pets. There- fore, it is vital that a list of places where pets can go is established. Do not leave your pets behind. If it is not safe for you, it is not safe for those un- der your care. In advance, contact your veterinar- ian for a list of boarding kennels or ask if they will take your pet in case of emergency. In addition, contact local animal shel- ters and ask if they pro- vide emergency hous- ing and, if not, if they could make recommenda- tions. Find hotels or mo- tels away from your local area that will accept pets. Many hotels and motels will waive, in cases of se- vere emergencies, 'no pet' policies. In addition, ask friends and relatives out of the immediate area if they would be willing to take in your pet. When a warning of an impending evacuation occurs, call and confirm all advance arrangements made. Put together a pet emer- gency supply pack. It should include a minimum of three (3) days food and water for all pets and do not forget to add feeding bowls and a can opener. Be sure to in- clude pet records which list: The type and breed of pet; the pet's name; a contact name with address, phone number and area code; sex; distinguishing character- istics; whether the pet is spayed/neutered and if the pet is micro-chipped. It is also advisable to have a cur- rent photo of the pet in case you must create a "Lost" no- tice if both of you are sep- arated. Keep in mind that ani- mals react differently un- der stress. For this reason, it is important that you have dogs securely leashed or crated and cats placed in transport carriers. All animals should have a col- lar with an identification tag attached. Prepare a pet first aid kit. Your veterinarian can offer suggestions as to what to include. Other items to incorporate are photocopies of the pet's medical records, with proof of all vaccinations. Furthermore, it is advis- able to include a two-week supply of any medications the pet requires, plus in- formation on dietary re- strictions, feeding sched- ules, etc. if necessary. Additional supplies that can prove quite useful are blankets and towels (paper and cloth), plastic trash bags, a flashlight and cleaning products. If easily transported, pet beds and toys will do wonders in re- ducing the animal's stress. Not to forget the felines, be sure to pack a litter pan, scoopable litter, plas- tic bags and scooper. In the event that evac- uations are ordered dur- ing an emergency, infor- mation for Tehama County will be on local radio sta- tions KFBK 1530 (AM) and KTHU 100.7 (FM). The fol- lowing contact numbers are for emergency ser- vices in Tehama County: The Tehama County Sher- iff's Office (530) 529- 7900; the Emergency Ser- vices Office (OES) (530) 529-0409; the Califor- nia Highway Patrol (530) 527-2034 and the Tehama County Fire Department (530) 528-5199. Emergency organiza- tions and personnel agree that proper advance plan- ning lessens the effects of disasters. Therefore, be- fore the next disaster oc- curs, it would be benefi- cial for both you and your pets to do some emergency planning and preparation. Consider what disasters could affect you and pre- pare for all of them. RonnieCaseyisvicepres- ident of PETS — Provid- ing Essentials for Te- hama Shelter.

PETS Bepreparedwhendisasterstrikes The American Red Cross urges residents to take ex- tra precautions with cook- ing and decorating around the holidays. "Cooking is the leading cause of home fires, and as people are cooking, en- tertaining, and string- ing lights this holiday sea- son, we're urging that they take safety measures to en- sure that their homes and loved ones are safe from the threatoffire,"saidKathleen Weis,CEOfortheRedCross Capital Region. Christmas Day, Christ- mas Eve and Thanksgiv- ing are the top three days for cooking fires, according to the National Fire Preven- tionAssociation.Nationally, the Red Cross responds to a disaster on average every eight minutes, and the vast majority of them are home fires. The Red Cross has some simple steps everyone can follow to prevent home fires around the holidays. Entertaining Test your smoke alarms. Check food regularly while cooking and remain in the home while cooking. Use a timerasareminderthatthe stove or oven is on. Enforce a "kid-free zone" in the cooking area and make children stay at least three feet away from the stove. Keep anything that can catch fire away from the stove, oven or any ap- pliance in the kitchen that generates heat. Clean cook- ing surfaces on a regu- lar basis to prevent grease buildup. Purchase a fire extin- guisher to keep in the kitchen. Contact the local fire department to receive training on the proper use of extinguishers. Decorating Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant. Keep chil- dren, pets and decorations away from lit candles. Keep matches and lighters up high in a locked cabinet. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb con- nections. Connect no more than three strands of mini light sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer's instructions for the number of LED strands to connect. Some strings of lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both. Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged. Keep decorationsawayfromwin- dows and doors.

Safetycampaign In October, the Ameri- can Red Cross launched a new national campaign to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next five years. The campaign seeks to increase the use of smoke alarms in neighbor- hoods with higher numbers ofhomefiresandtoencour- age all Americans to prac- tice their fire escape plans. The Red Cross fire pre- vention campaign comes at a time when a new national survey shows many Amer- icans have a false sense of security about surviving a fire. When asked about their confidence levels in escap- ing a burning home, nearly seven in 10 parents (69 per- cent) believe their children would know what to do or how to escape with lit- tle help. However, the poll showed few actions had been taken that would sup- port the level of confidence of parents about their chil- dren's ability to escape a fire.
