1973 NPPW-Sources and Ideas Now is the time to complete plans for participating in National Poison Prevention Week (March 18-24). As I stated last month, the approaches .are as numerous as the groups participating. An important ingredient is a capable chairman with initiative. Is your local pharmacy association active in NPPW? Perhaps the efforts of the groups can be coordinated. Harris County Auxiliary, Houston, Texas, has been actively involved in poison prevention since the fall of 1969, when the officers of the Auxiliary met with representatives of the city health department and concluded that there was a need for a program by a group such as theirs. The decision was made to adopt a "Poison Awareness Program" as their permanent year-round project. It was decided that the distribution of literature including antidote charts, etc. and the dissemination of information calling attention to the dangers of everyday household items, as well as the need for the respect of medicine, was where the emphasis should be. A benefit concert was held in the auditorium of the University of Houston at which $954 was raised and set aside for this program. So far, expenses have been nominal. The main expense has been the paying for the billboard paper which was ordered through the state pharmacy association at a cost of $12 each plus the identifying strips at $2 each. The billboard space was donated for this purpose by a local outdoor advertising company. This auxiliary has two types of programs which they present"Poison Perils" slides and "The Careless Family" film . The film is especially good for groups of children. Handout

material can be obtained free from most state health departments. The puppet show "Remember Little Jill" has been used quite successfully by many auxiliaries. The script was written by the San Joaquin (California) Pharmacy Auxiliary to the tune of "Jack and Jill." A copy of the script is available, with other material, in the Women's Auxiliary NPPW kit. As you can see there are many types of programs that can be used-puppet shows, slides, films, posters, speakers bureau, etc. The important thing is to become involved in some way.
