The United States Post Office
Department and Bureau of Mines
today Joined forces in. the nation
wide safety campaign warning
boys and girls, "Don't Touch A
Blasting Cap."
. Posters picturing four common
types of blasting caps were dis
tributed for display in 41,000
United States post offices. The
posters warn "Don't Touch Blast
ing Caps," and tell boys and girls
"If you find a cap don't toUch it.
Tell a policeman about it."
Director John J. Forbes, of the
Bureau of Mines, Ormonde A.
Kieb, Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral ? Bureau of Facilities, Roy
M. North. Postmaster. Washing
ton, D. C.. and Richard F. Webs
ter, executive secretary of the
Institute of Makers of Explosives,
signalized the opening of the
campaign by taking part in the
official posting of the warning
displays in the Washington, D. C.
Post Office.
Stressing the importance of the
warning to children, Mr. Webster
pointed out such caps are neces
sary in the nation's Industry to
detonate blasts for mining coal,
quarrying stone, clearing farm
lands for tillage, and for digging
tunnels and foundations for build
ings and factories, Summer Is a
peak construction time. More
blasting caps are used. And chil
dren roam afield and are more
likely to come upon blasting cap$
that have been heedlessly dis
carded, lost or even stolen, then
thrown away.
"Scores of children are hurt
every year" he said. "And every
injury was needless. The pity of
it is that many of the children
were only bystanders when a
nother child foolishly picked up
a blasting cap."
"A blasting cap is a small metal
cylinder and when it explodes,
bits of metal fly in all directions.
They can tear off a finger, a hand
or a foot, blind a person for life,
or even kill outright. Everyone
who handles a blasting cap
should know that if he doesri t
carefully account for everyone, it
might be mislaid and maim a
child."
"Only the boy or girl can make
certain he or she keeps safe.".
Mr. Webster said. "The only way
they can do that is by knowing a
cap at sight; keeping ever In
mini! the damage It can do; and
by never touching a cap.
"These posters can show chil
dren what caps look like. They
are tubes of bright aluminum or
copper, a little thinner around
than an ordinary pencil and from
one to five and half Inches long.
Some are open at one end, others
have fuses inserted in that open
ing, and still others fired by elec
tric current have insulated wires
in one end. Find out what a blast
ing cap looks like and beware."
