Toy Safety Year 'Round Special Alert On Toys Though thousands of toys have been removed from the market since 1970, parents and friends of children need to be alert to choose toys carefully and to watch children as they play with their gifts, said Mrs. Rosemary Bartman, Marengo housewife and mother of three who is chairman of the McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee. "Check the toys your children receive from others as gifts, and apply some common- sense rules we hope people used in selecting the toys they give," sheoadded Since the Child Protection and Toy Safety act of 1970, success in removing thousands of potentially dangerous toys from the market has been achieved. In looking for toys. Mrs. Bartman advises shoppers to consider the size and age of the child, his dexterity, strength and his maturity Many toys have suggested age usage on their labels. "Toys can be dangerous if misused, and parental supervision is necessary. Also, keep in mind the area in which •he child has to play when choosing a gift." she observed. Children should be advised about the hazards and rules of electrical toys and should not be left alone with a toy of this type if the youngster is not old enough to play safely with it without immediate parental supervision. Smaller children have a special need in toys. Make certain the toy or detachable parts aren't small enough to be swallowed, warned Mrs. Bartman. "Small parts could be pushed into ears or nostrils or could lodge in the windpipe. Make sure the toy is sturdy and has no sharp edges. Check the ears and tails of all stuffed animals. They should not have sharp wires." She noted painted toys should not be giv^n a youngster young enough to put objects in the mouth Toys made of glass or brittle plastic don't make practical gifts, either. "The toy parts should not be able to pinch fingers or toes or pull hair Also cords and strings over 12 inches in length should be avoided Toys that make excessive noise aren't good for children, and they don't ease the ears of parents, either." she continued. Parental supervision con­ cerning toys should not end as the Christmas season wanes, she advised. "Throughout the year keep a check on toys for such dangers as sharp points, cracks, loose pieces or rust spots that could weaken the toy or cause an injury. "Toy safety is in season all year." she concluded.

An unanimous white ballot was immediately cast for the slate as presented: President Morris Crouch; vice-president, Harold Wildhagen; and secretary- treasurer, Lyda Radisch were all re-elected. Evelyn Smith was unanimously appointed and elected to serve as meditation chairperson. The dining room of the First United Methodist church was very festively decorated with holiday tablecloths, place mats and holiday candle arrangements for the dinner. Fifty-two members were in attendance when Pastor Smith said Grace, after which everyone enjoyed the holiday turkey dinner with all the fixings. Esther Sims chose "My Christmas Miracle", a story from Guideposts magazine, for her meditations. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary were sung to all celebrating these events during December. The "birthday gifts" for Valley-Hi were all beautifully wrapped and Bill Jordan again graciously volunteered to deliver them to Hartland. It was gratifying to see the great number of gifts the members brought to the meeting. Surely no resident of Valley-Hi will go without a birthday gift in 1977. The minutes of the November meeting, and the financial report were read, both of which were approved and accepted as read. A special collection was taken toward a fund for pur­ chasing new choir robes, and such a collection will be taken at each meeting until a large enough amount is collected to be presented to the fund raising chairman This collection is strictly voluntary. The program for the evening was given by Bertha and Elmer Stange and included films on "Alaska". She made it most interesting relating their ex­ perience when visiting Alaska recently.

The punch bowl can double as the centerpiece if you ring it round with sprigs of holly or other greens. The punch gets its color from rose wine and a package of strawberry gelatin. It's made with a strong tea base which happily gives the punch body without masking the other flavors and also "stretches" the punch, helping to keep the cost moderate.
