Trout season sure is in full
swing at the lake. I can see
them ‘coming as soon as day
breaks. Rain, snow, sleet or hail
doesn’t seem to even faze them.
Last Sunday the traffic was
almost impassable! Seems
funny to be having such unsea-
sonable weather at this time of
the year. I just can’t seem to get
into the Christmas spirit
without snow on the ground. But
I sure didn’t expect the white
Thanksgiving we had!

Safety of Toys before Christmas
With Christmas so near, now
would be a good time for
parents of young children to be
thinking about the safety of toys
they are going to buy. Gifts of
toys are tokens of love, and it is
important that they be chosen
with care. It is tragic when a
toy, meant to bring happiness,
seriously injures a child.
Protecting children from un-
safe toys is one of the responsi-
bilities of the Food and Drug
Administration’s Bureau of
Product Safety. The Child
Protection and Toy Safety Act
of 1969—which became effective
in January 1970—empowers the
Food and Drug Administration
to remove and keep from the
market toys and other
children’s products with
electrical, mechanical, and
thermal hazards. The law is
aimed at reducing the es-
timated 700,000 injuries from
toys that occur in and around
the home annually.
Bicycles were involved in the
majority of the toy-associated
injury cases. Other vehicle-type
toys, such as roller skates,
sleds, and tricycles were linked
with most of the rest of these in-
juries. Dolls, homemaker items
such as toy stoves and irons,
stuffed aminals, chemistry sets,
and molding equipment ac-
counted for less than one per-
cent of the reported cases.
No law can protect a child
from all dangers. With approxi-
+ mately 12,000 toy firms in the
country resulting in estimated
sales of $3 billion tin toys each
year and approximately 83,000
entries of imported toys each .
year, complete surveillance of
the toy market is impossible.
Protecting children from
unsafe toys is a parental as well
as a governmental respon-
sibility. Consideration should be
given to the age and size of the
child, his ability, and the area in
which he plays with his toys. A
toy that is safe for one child
may be dangerous in the hands
of an unsupervised and less
skillful younger brother or
sister.
Toy buyers in the family
should reject those with obvious
hazards—sharp points; rough
or unfinished surfaces; small,
detachable parts that may be
swallowed; brittle plastic or
glass that breaks easily and
Beth Burke Participates
In Lycoming Program
A resident of Dallas is one of
75 students at Lycoming
College, Williamsport, con-
tributing valuable time and
talent that others might learn.
Beth Burke, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Burke, 59
Gordon Ave., is participating in
the Lycoming College tutoring
program, through which
students on a completely
voluntary basis give individual
teaching assistance to pupils
from Williamsport junior high
schools. No compensation’ is
received by the Lycoming
volunteers except the
satisfaction of helping others to
learn.
Junior high school students
having difficulty in a particular
subject or subjects in his
regular classroom are par-
ticipating in the program. In
addition, the youngsters are
primarily from families whose
income would preclude the
expense of a private tutor.
Most of the sessions are in an
extremely informal setting
designed to provide an at-
mosphere most conducive to the
learning process. Both
classrooms and lounges of the
school’s huge new Academic
Center are pressed into service
during the hours established for
the tutoring.
And during those hours, the
area is filled with youngsters
who would otherwise not have
the opportunity to receive the
extra help they need if they are
to keep pace with their class-
mates. And it’s all made
possible because Miss Burke
gives of her time that others
might learn.

leaves sharp edges that may
cut; poorly constructed toys
with sharp spikes or pins that
are exposed when the toy.is
pulled apart by a curious child;
toys with triggers, gears, or
other parts activated by a
spring or motor that may pinch
fingers or catch hair.
Chemistry sets. rocket Kits,
and similar toys should be
bought only for children, old
enough to handle them wisely.
Any minimum age recom-
mended by the manufacturers
of such toys should be heeded.
Since wires can wear through,
electric toys such as trains and
“home appliances’ for little
girls should be checked
periodically. Such toys should
not be purchased for the very
young. If an electrical toy must
be bought, the child should be
shown how to insert a plug
safely into an electrical outlet
and how to remove the plug.
Special care must be taken
with toys that have trailing
loops and cords. A child i
be taught never to put these
loops or cords around him in
such a way that they may trip or
choke him. Toy arrows should
be tipped with some soft sub-
stance that cannot be removed.
Care must be taken with suction
tips. They can come off and
expose dangerously sharp ends.
Care also must be taken with
balloons—they can choke a
child if accidentally taken into
the mouth and block the wind-
pipe. Whistles and toy insfgu-
ments should not have os
(mouthpieces, for example)
that can be easily detached.
Children should be taught {egy sit
or stand still when playin toy
musical wind instruments. A
push or fall can cause serious
mouth or throat injury.
In a study of bicycle injuries,
“horseplay’’ and colliding with
obstructions were the two
leading factors conirimiing to
accidental injuries.
FDA currently is Teng
safty standards for toys and
working with toy “manufactur- =.
ers to correct hazards.
With these activities, and with
consumers exercising sound
buying judgement and giving
proper instruction to children,
toys will be a source of ¢#oy-
ment, without tears.. ;
