Woods, Jr., president of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, warned that dangerous and illegal fireworks have already resulted in ten accidents in Illinois with eight of these causing serious damage to the eyes of children. Supervised public displays are possible in every community and are entirely within the letter of the law. Thfe law provides that permits may be issued at least fifteen days in advance and that the supervised display shall be handled by competent persons designated by local authorities. Woods stressed that the "sale, use or explosion" of fireworks except under supervised display is absolutely prohibited by Illinois law. The law defines fireworks as any items which produce an audible effect by explosion, deflagration or detonation. These include blank cartridges^ toy cannons in which explosives are used, balloons which require fire underneath to propel them, firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles, bombs, etc. The only items which the law permits are sparklers and devices in which paper caps are used which contain twenty-five hundreths grains or less of explosive compound. Penalties are fines of $100 and/or ninety days in Jail. Unfortunately, some children are ordering dangerous and illegal fireworks by mail. These are sent to them by express. Woods urged parents to keep their children from breaking the law and to keep them safe from Injuries which might even cost their lives. Last year illegal fireworks accounted for 245 accidents throughout the state. Two children died and forty had serious eye injuries with six of them resulting in loss of vision in one eye.

Wabash ave., Chicago, has been a leader in the sponor ship of legislation and education al campaigns to combat use of dangerous fireworks in this state.
