Some will criticize the attitude

critics will be that the all power

to regularly have a complete

The Christmas season is all
around us now and most people
?re busy purchasing gifts for
their children and friends. It Is
this matter of gifts for children
that I want to bring to your at
tention.
Much fun and enjoyment can be
had by all If intelligent care Is
taken Into consideration. From a
medical standpoint, I have a cer
tain dread for this and all special
holiday periods of the year, for
during each one thousands of phy
sidans across the country are call
ed upon to treat holiday accidents.
Children are particularly prone
to accidents, particularly at Christ
mastime, and many of the acci
dents are due to purchases made
unwisely by their parents. This
Christmas thousands upon thous
ands of children will receive air
rifles ? and only a few, if any, of
these happy children, will receive
any Instruction in the necessary
safety measures that must be ob
served if tragie accidents are to
be prevented. The one organ of
the body that is most often injured
by the pellets from these small ri
fles is the eye ? and as so often
happens, results in partial, if not
complete, loss of vision in the af
fected eye.
The point to be stressed here Is
that parents mutt seriously con
sider the dangers involved and
take It upon themselves to see that
their child is properly instructed
in the use of his rifle and stressing
the great dangers to all if improp
erly used.
Roller-skates and bicycles will
probably out-number all other gifts
given this year, but parents should
give one or both of these gifts to
their children only if the necessary
area is nearby for their enjoyment.
Pleaae do not let a tragic acci
dent ruin your holiday season.
One last reminder is to be very

No answer.
