About Y2K?
LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.)
How much water do I need to
store for my family?
Plan to have at least one gallon
of water per person, per day. Store
at least a three-day supply for each
family member. You can use
clean, sanitized plastic, glass, or
metal containers. To sanitize a
contained, wash with soap and hot
water, rise, and then sanitize with
a solution of 1 tablespoon chlorine
bleach in a gallon of water.
What kinds of foods do fami
lies need to have on band?
Collect food items that need
minimum preparation and no re
frigeration. Canned foods and pre
packaged foods in one and two
use sizes so you do not have to
store opened are good choices.
Avoid dried foods that need large
amounts of water and long cook
ing times. Purchase the amount
that you need for an emergency.
Rotate stock by eating from the
supply and replacing what you use
immediately.
You can use a propane or kero
sene stove with fuel, outdoor char
coal or propane grill, candle
warmers and non-electric chafing
dishes, fondue pots, and stemo.
Remember, gas grills and charcoal
must be used outside.

Bike
Helmets
WILLIAMSPORT (Lycoming
Co.) The Consumer Product
Safety Commission and McDon
ald’s released a national survey on
bike helmet usage: Helmet use is
on the rise, but half of all riders are
still not wearing helmets. The sur
vey reports 69 percent of children
under 16 wear a helmet on a regu
lar basis while riding a bike. To
help boost the percentages and to
“help kids get the helmet habit,”
check out the new website at
<www.bikehelmet.org> Visit the
Parent/Teacher camp in Cranium
Canyon and get your school-age
kids involved with the effort.
Bike helmets are necessary
while riding bikes, but the CPSC
warns that children should not
wear bike helmets when playing,
especially on playground equip
ment CPSC has reports of two
strangulation deaths to children
when their bike helmets became
stuck in openings on playground
equipment resulting in hanging.
Children should always wear hel
mets when riding bikes. But when
a child gets off the bike, the hel
met must come off too.
