IN-SINK-ERATOR
There have fo be good reasons
why more In-Sink-Erator dis-
posers are sold and installed
every year than any other
make.
Our grinding ring, for
example, is the strongest made.
Y's the core of our disposers
along with our own ISE-made
electric motors.
Then we add the extra things.
A tough polypropylene shield
protects against interior corro-
sion. Automatic reversing
action extends the life of the
grinding elements.
So ask for In-Sink-Erator next
time. To make your mess less...
we make our disposers do more.

ips on toy safety for Christmas buying
This holiday season, over
150,000 different types of
toys will fill the shelves of
over one million retail
outlets. Toys varying from
dolls to complicated space-
ships will be purchased to
enchant the lives of thou-
sands of children through-
out the world. Unfortunate-
ly, many of these toys are
unsafe and will bring seri-
ous injury to children. Last
year over 140,000 persons
were treated for injuries
resulting from toys.
The Lancaster Co. Assoc-
iation for the Blind urges °
you to make this holiday a
safe one by following the
suggestions of the United
States Consumer Product
Safety Commission when
purchasing new toys. Think
toy safety by knowing the
seven toy dangers:
1. Sharp Edges. Toys of
brittle plastic or glass can
easily be broken exposing
dangerous sharp cutting
edges. Wooden, metal and
plastic toys sometimes have
sharp edges due to poor
construction;

2. Small Parts. Tiny toys
and toys with small remov-
able parts can be swallowed
or become lodged in a
child’s windpipe, ears or
nose. The squeakers in
some squeeze toys can be
removed and possibly swal-
lowed. The seams of poorly
constructed stuffed dolls or
animals can break open and
release small pellets that
also can be swallowed or
inhaled;
3. Loud Noises. Toy caps
and some noise-making
guns and other toys can
produce sounds at levels
that can damage hearing.
The law requires the
following label on boxes of
caps producing noise above
a certain level: ‘‘“WARN-
ING—Do not fire closer than
one foot to the ear. Do not
use indoors.’’;
4. Sharp Points. Broken
toys can expose dangerous
prongs and knife-sharp
points. Pins and staples on
dolls’ clothes, . hair and
accessories can easily punc-
ture an unsuspecting child.
Even a teddy bear or stuffed

toy can have barbed eyes or
wired limbs which can cut or
stab;
5. Propelled Objects. Pro-
jectiles, guided missiles and
similar flying toys can be
turned into weapons and can
injure eyes in particular.
Children should never be
permitted to play with adult
lawn darts or other hobby or
sporting equipment that
have sharp points. Arrows
or darts used by children
should have soft cork tips,
rubber suction cups or other
protective tips intended to
prevent injury. Latest stud-
ies show that in one year
there were 1,700 projectile
toy-related eye injuries to
children under 15. In
addition, BB guns alone
accounted for approximately
12,500 injuries of which
1,350 were eye injuries;

Borough Council will
consider changing the rates
for refuse collection to cover
added costs of picking up
excess refuse at some
residences; some people
have put out as many as 53
bags of refuse for one
collection.
Non-uniformed employ-
ees of the borough will
qualify for a two-week
vacation after two years of
service. Previously they
were eligible for only one
week of vacation after two
years of service.
Council voted to accept a
proposal from PennDOT
that federal funds be used to
build curbs but not side-
walks along Marietta Ave-
nue, subject to two provis-
ions: that PennDOT restore
any sidewalks damaged in
repairing Marietta Avenue,
and that PennDOT officials
explain at a public hearing
for residents of Marietta
Avenue why the state is no
longer willing to repair
sidewalks, as originally
agreed.

6. Wrong Toy for Wrong
Age. Toys that may be safe
for older children can be
extremely dangerous in the
hands of little ones. Choose
toys with care and keep in
mind the child's age,
interest and skill level; and
7. Electric Toys. Electric
toys that are improperly
constructed, wired or mis-
used can shock or burn.
Electric toys must meet
mandatory requirements for
maximum surface temper-
atures, electrical construc-
tion and prominent warning
labels. Electric toys with
heating elements are recom-
mended only for children
over eight years old.
Children should be taught to
use electronic toys cautious-
ly and under adult super-
vision.
