As a result of numerous com- plaints concerning careless use of fireworks over the holiday weekend Dallas Borough Coun- cil moved promptly on Wednes- day night to ban the sale and the shooting of fire works in the bor- ough in the future. Thoughtless celebrators were reported have set off their fireworks neai the home of several residents in town who are seriously ill, and to have ignored requests to move elsewhere. In one case firecrack- ers were said to have been thrown on the roof of a home where a woman was ill. Al- though there were no serious in- juries, several children suffered burns celebrating.
