Choking Accidents Bring Death
To 1200 Persons During 1968
WASHINGTON—TweIve hun
dred persons choked to death
last year on foreign objects
lodging in their throats, the
American Red Cross said this
week, warning that small chil
dren and wearers of dentures
are especially prone to this
kind of fatal accident.
Some 700 of the victims were
under 5 years of age and 300
were over 45, Robert M. Os
wald. national director of Red
Cross Safety Programs said,
adding that many of the latter
were men and women who
wore dentures.
The Red Cross cooperates
closely with the Council of the
American Broncho-Esophagolo
gical Association in an educa
tional program to make the
public conscious of the dan
gers of choking accidents. Also
supporting this program are
the American Dental Associa
tion, the Committee on Bron
cho-Esophagology of the Ameri
can College of Chest Physici
ans, and the Committee for the |
Prevention of Accidents of the
American Academy of Pedi
atrics.
In its first aid courses tne
Red Cross gives special em
phasis to the prevention of
choking accidents.
Mr. Oswald explained that
the danger with young chil
dren arises to a great extent
from the fact that infants do
not get all their baby teeth
until they are two years old
and the chewing habit Is not
firmly established until they
; are four.
"Small children will put
practically anything in their
mouths, as every mothfer
knows.. They have a tendency
to swallow automatically;
Completely New Estimated Tax

ruary 1 to approximately'. 10
million taxpayers,'J-: & Wall;
District Director of Internal
Revenue Service for North Oar
olina, announced today.
A taxpayer should not is -
sume that he is required to file
or pay estimated tax simply
because he receives the new
package, Wall said. Anyone
receiving the new forms pack
age should read the instructions
very carefully to determine
whether he is required to file
an estimate.
No declaration is required,
in any event, if the estimated
tax not subject to withholding
can reasonably be expected to
be less than $40,000.
Many taxpayers, Wall said,
choose to avoid filing declara
tions and making quarterly
payments by increasing the
amount withheld from their
wages.
He said that the distribution
of estimated tax forms is being
made somewhat latar than ■
because of the introduction of
Reform Jewish Group Raises
$40,000 for Relief in Biafra
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Jan.3o
-A recent appeal Issued to
members of Reform Jewish
congregations for relief of
starring Biafran children has
raised more than $40,000, it
was announced today by Earl
Morse, chairman of the Board
of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations(UAHC)
central body of Reform Juda
ism in the United States and
Canada.
The call for help came
through the Social Action De
partment of the UAHC and,
Morse said,"The response had
been deeply heartwarming. We
have received contributions rang
ing from sixty centq - which
Included one Canadian nickel
from two youngsters in Massa
chusetts, to SI,OOO from a mem
ber of our Board."
Another contribution came
therefore, they will try to swal
low an inedible object Ihstead
of expectorating It, as an adull
would.
"Since a baby cannot talk, a
foreign object may go unrec
ognized until serious compli
cations or death results.
"Also children often inhale
foreign objects into the air pas
sages. These must be promptly
removed before they cause res
piratory problems or even
death."
Since the shewing habit is
not firmly established until the
age of four, cmldren under this
age should not be given nuts,
raw fruits, or raw vegetables.
Foreign objects that an in
fant could put in its mouth
should be kept out of reach.
When choking accidents oc
cur, consult a physician imme
diately, even if the symptoms,
such as coughing, subside. If
natural breathing stops, start
artificial respiration by the
mouth-to-mouth method at
once.
Bones are the foreign bodie?
which most commonly affect
denture wearers. Extra pre
cautions should be taken to re
move these from such prepared
dishes as chicken sandwiches,
salads, or soup. Careful chew
ing habits should be cultivat
ed.
When dentures arc needed,
they should be used and prop
er fitting maintained. Painful
I chewing can cause mastication
: to be incomplete.
Denture wearers should chew
their food approximately twice
as long as they did when they
had their natural teeth, to aid
' digestion and prevent swallow
' ing of incompletely chewed
; food.

Wall said the form and pay

address and social security
number exactly as they appear
on the internal revenue master
file. The imprinted forms will

from three children of a family
in Staten Island who went
from door to door to raise the
money. In their accompanying
letter signed by all three, they
said that many people they
called on "shot out suspicious
questions to us, one after ano
ther, 'What's your name?'
'Where do you live?' 'Are you
going to keep this money for
yourselves?' One man actually
told us that he didn't care
whether the children of Biafran
died or not."
But the youngsters, two aged
thirteen and one twelve, per
sisted despite such discouraging
words and, the letter continues,
" we didn't think we would
get any money at all! But we
were wrong..." They enclosed
a check written by their
mother for $82.27.
