Green "Pick tip & Delivery Phone 20 CARELESS CHOCE OF CHLDREN'S TOYS RESULT in injury If "Santa Claus could give advice, he'd suggest you worry about more than Whether Junior's eyes are bigger than his parents' pocketbook. Also, you should ask whether Christmas joy may turn sorrow because those eyes---or someone else's -- are injured due to careless choice, or use, of toys for children. It can happen all too easily, warns the accident prevention department of a leading insurance company. Tragically, says the firm, eye injuries among children always increase during the Christmas season. Not only does the number shoot upward, but also severity of the eye damage increases, most of the time due to toys from under the Christmas tree and chidren's unfamiliarity with eye safety rules. How can you make your child's Christmas a safe one? First, fit the toy or game you buy to the age group. Children under 5 aren't capable of understanding safety rules. They're at the "let's see if it can be broken" stage. Thus, soft, plastic toys are safest for this group. Play- Those in the play are Susan Watkins, Jackie Ann Cannon, Richard Mann and Roger and Roy Swanson. All are welcome to attend this program and to see this play re-enacting the first Christmas. All are invited to the church worship services during this advent season of preparation for the coming of Christ. The sermon topic for Sunday, Dec. 16, will be "What Are We Waiting For?" XM AS T R E E • LIGHT STRINGS • BULBS • TINSEL At iOLGER'S things that dome apdit or have sharp points are definitely taboo. For children over 5, buy toys specified for* the • various tge groups. Most playthings nowadays are so marked. A dressmaking set for 6-year-old Susie is dangerous due to needles and pins. For 12-yer-old Mary, the set probably is suitable. Second, choose most carefully what you give to boys. Eye accidents among boys outnumber those among girls, three to one. Girls, by nature, are mosWcontent with a new doll, miniature dishes or appliances, or model houses or furniture. But Junior, whose boundless energy is legendary, is more inclined toward games of cops and robbers. Cowboys and Indians, or Space adventurers. Bow and arrows, air pistols or rifles, and sling shots account for more than 17 per cent of eye accidents among children. Thus, bestow these with care, and always teach the importance of caution in active, hectic games. If Junior is disappointed at not receiving a dangerous gift, carefully explain the importance of his eyes and their vulnerability to injury. Third, supervise children's play as much as possible. Don't let older children put toys where younger ones, who shouldn't play with them, can reach' them. Send children outdoors for active games. Indoors, be especially careful of games near the Christmas tree. Hideand- seek or other such activities may lead to breaking of ornaments, lights or tree needles, or even toppling of the tree, causing serious eye injuries. Finally, insist on quality in toys, as well as smooth edges and non-poisonous paint. Electrical toys should bear the Underwriter's Laboratories label.
