electrijal, mechanical, and ther-j
mal hazards. The law is aimed!
at reducing the estimated 700,000 j
injuries frem toys that G';.cur in
and around the home "..nually.
Bicycles were involved in the
majority of the toy-associated in-■
j.:y cases. Other vehicular-type
toys, such as roller skates, sleds ■
and tricycles were linked with
most of the rest of these injur
ies. Dolls, homemaker items such
as toy stoves and irons, stuffed
animals, chemistry sets, and
moldin,» equipment accounted for
less than 1 per c*ent of the re-!
forted cases.
iT^'o law can protect a child
completely from all dangers.
With approximately 12,000 toy
I firms in the country resulting in
j estimated sales of $3 billion in
I toys each year and approximate-
ly 83,000 entries ot imported toys
each year, complete surveillance
of the toy market is impossible.
(With limited money- and man
power resources diverted from
other product safety programs
to toy safety activities, FDA has
obtained voluntary -modificallons
: of approximately 74 types of
toys identified as having poten
tial mechanical hazards. Since . »

Bill's main job is to make certain that
fish in Duke Power's lakes are not harm
ed by the luke-warm water discharge
from our steam electric generating sta
tions.
The stations are designed so that the
maximum temperature of discharged
water is about the temperature of the
human body. And this heat radiates
rapidly to the atmosphere.
Tocheck on the design and operations
of the stations, we continually monitor
temperatures and moke biological stud
ies of the water in our lakes.
So you’ll find good fishing on Duke
Power s lakes. Some of the best, in fact,
is near our stations. And our scientists
— like Bill Adair—ore working closely
with governmental and independent
scientists to keep it that way.
It's just one of the many things weVe
doing to rr<ake this a better place to live.
