Petitions supporting Child Safety Seat
“to immunize children against the con-
sequences of automobile
crashes...which kill and cripple more
children than any major disease.”
Joann Sarley of Dallas, whose son
Scott is the Easter Seal Child this year,
is an avid supporter of the new legisla-
ture being ‘coordinated locally by the
Wyoming Valley Crippled Childrens
Asociation.
Over 240 signatures have been
obtained to date and will be forwarded
to the Pennsylvania Chapter of the
American Academy of Pediatrics to
support Senate Bill 21. The bill, which
the Senate has passed and is now about
to go before the House, would make the
use of federally approved car safety
seats for children mandatory under
penalty of a $50 fine.
Thirty-nine other states already have
similiar laws in effect according to
Bonnie Marge, Social Service Worker

SUPERVISORS OF NORTHMORE-

evening at 7 at the home of the
iy
tics that last year in Pennsylvania 9,000
children under age five were involved
in crashes, 2,700 were injured, 400
incapacitated and 36 died.
“Children are least safe if you are
holding them in your lap,” she stated.
“You can crush them or create very
severe injuries.”
Community-sponsored programs are
being planned to alert new mothers of
the dangers facing their children when
they are traveling in cars and bro-
chures are being distributed as part of
a National Safety Council Campaign.
Presently bumper stickers with mes-
Alive, Buckle Him Up” are available
for anyone who may want them at the
W.V.C.C.A. office in the Kirby Health
Center. The local Triple A Club has
child safety seats available to lend to
people for a nominal deposit.
Community involvement has also
helped. In addition to signing petitions,
people or organizations will hold fund
raisers to purchase more safety seats
which would be available to low income
families. On the personal level, anyone
having a car seat that is no longer in
use is urged to pass it on to be used by
a young child and to set a good
example for all children by wearing
automobile safety devices themselves.
