It’s too important a question to leave to chance.
That’s why we’re running this ad.
I f there are any six- or seven-year-olds around your
house, teach them how to report emergencies. Tell them to
dial “()", give their name and tell our operator where they
are and what’s wrong.
With older children, train them to dial emergency num-
bers direct, since that’s the fastest way to call for help.
But don’t stop there. Copy down the emergency
numbers listed on the inside front cover or first page of
your telephone directory. Add your family doctor’s
number. And the number of the nearest hospital. Next,
tack up the list near your phone.
Then get your kids to memorize it, in case it gets lost.
By the time they’re through memorizing those
numbers, they’re going to have every grownup in the
_ house knowing them, too.
Which is also why we’re running this ad.
If your six year old saw something like this,
would he know how to phone for help?
