Riding on the float were, from left, Betty Rothrock, Employment Office; Wanda Kennon, Karastan; Sylvia Westmoreland, Data Processing; Glenda Mills, Draper Cost; and Nancy Page, Sheet Finishing. Have A Happy, Safe Christmas Everyone looks forward to Yuletide family happiness, but the National So ciety for the Prevention of Blindness warns that needless eye accidents will spoil the fun for 12,000 American chil dren filling hundreds of homes with tragedy, anxiety and sorrow. More than 50 Americans, mostiy chil dren, are destined to lose forever their precious gift of sight through holiday mishaps. For them Christmas will bring oniy pain and anguish. “Don’t encourage accidents when helping Santa pack his bag this year, ’ says J. W. Ferree, M.D., executive di rector of the National Society, urging parents to use common sense as they begin their gift-purchasing campaigns. NSPB research indicates that 17% of all children’s eye injuries are caused by potentially dangerous toys of the missile type. Used in an irresponsible way by uninstructed children these can be a menace to the entire family. Dr. Ferree cities the case of the little girl who required eye surgery alter be ing hit in the eye by a sharp pencil shot from her brother’s dart gun. Purchasing a potentially hazardous toy is foolish spending. However, impulse buying by enthusiastic parents and relatives sel dom takes into account whether or not the child is mature enough to safely handle the toy. “Don’t risk your child’s eyesight”, ad vises Dr. Ferree. “See that the young eyes that sparkle on Christmas morn ing are not harmed by a tragic accident. Be observant when you select your toys and never forget that there is danger in protruding points, detachable parts, sharp edges, flammable materials and plastics that shatter. Above all make certain the toys you purchase are ap propriate for the age of the child who will be receiving them.” In addition to safe toy buying, Dr. Ferree pointed out there were other hazards associated with the holiday sea son. The greatest danger of them all being the traditional Christmas tree. A dry tree can ignite explosively turning the home into a blazing inferno with tragic loss to life and property. To insure a safe and happy holiday the National Society recommends these safety tips to be followed; 1. The Christmas tree should be kept in water to prevent it drying out, re ducing the fire hazard. 2. Situate the tree away from heated raditors and fireplaces. 3. Fire-proof the tree with one of the approved commercial sprays. 4. Double check all electrical wiring. Sparks from faulty connections and wir ing are the major causes of fire dur ing the Christmas season. 5. Never use candles for tree lighting and be sure that all decorations are un breakable and non-flammable. Make this Christmas a safe and joyous one. Buy . . . Sell . . .
