MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION <br />COLORADO POISON PREVENTION WEEK <br />March 20-26, 1983 <br />WHEREAS, our society has become increasingly dependent on <br />household chemicals to perform labor-saving, time -saving miracles; <br />and on medicine to provide health -giving, life -sustaining benefits; <br />WHEREAS, these products, when not used as intended or <br />directed, may be hazardous particularly if children gain access to <br />them; <br />WHEREAS, over the past 22 years, the nation has been <br />observing Poison Prevention Week to call attention to these hazards <br />and how proper handling and disposal of these substances and proper <br />use of safety packaging can help eliminate them; <br />WHEREAS, these programs must continue as long as even one <br />child swallows a household product or medicine by mistake; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, I, Norbert A. Meier, Mayor of the City of <br />Louisville, do hereby proclaim March 20-26, 1983, as Colorado Poison <br />Prevention Week in this City. Further, I direct the appropriate <br />agencies in our local government to continue their cooperation with <br />concerned citizens and community organizations, including our <br />schools, to develop programs which will alert our people to the <br />continued danger of misusing medicines and household products and to <br />promote effective safeguards against accidental poisoning among young <br />children. <br />Dated this 1st day of March, 1983• <br />WAIIZ�e.Z4_ <br />x <br />Mayor <br />
