First Fireworks Injury Of Year Reported In June The first fireworks injury of the year was sustained June 10 by Richard Hetzel, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hetzel, 1091 Mullikin, Carlyle, 111. Richard was lighting a bottle rocket, preparatory to drop­ ping it into a bottle when it exploded, backfiring into his eye. This caused a hemorrhage and a sever contusion which left the pupil enlarged. The eye physician who treated the boy reports that he will recover his sight but that he is lucky in escaping serious complications which could have developed. Bottle rockets appear to be new this year. They sell for three cents each, have great appeal for children and are readily available. The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness warns parents to make sure that their children do not purchase these dangerous fireworks toys. Although fireworks of any kind are specifically banned by law in Illinois, children are injured every year by fireworks which are sold illicitly, despite police vigilance.
