Over 100 deaths per month oc cur in the United States because parents leave their children un attended or in the care of an in competent baby-sitter, Matthews said. One-third of child deaths by fire are caused by parental ne glect, he added. "A baby-sitter training program is the most important weapon you have in your hands to combat this dangerous situation," the North Carolina insurance agents were told. Several community groups can assist insurance men in a campaign to train baby-sitters, particularly in' fire prevention. Matthews cited a pamphlet which is available, "Fire Safety Sugges tions for Parents and Baby-Sit-ters," sponsored by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Matthews mentioned active pro grams with the cooperation of fire chiefs in training baby-sitters, in cluding special lectures and class es for older children and adults who are baby-sitters, with exam inations and certificates showing that one has passed the course. Matthews stressed the impor tance of good organization and cooperation of local authorities in all such safety campaigns. TRAFFIC Albert M. Thomasson of the At lanta Insurance Information In stitute reported the success of a state-wide program of "citizen support groups for stronger traf fic legislation" recently held in Florida.
