Over recent years the average eye injuries from fireworks have been 50 "This report is very disappointing in view of our efforts to stress eye safety over the Fourth of July," said Mrs. Dorie Sternberg, president of the Illinois for the Prevention of Blindness. Persons injured range in agfe from four to fifty-eight, with the great majority being males, with 60 eye injuries, as compared to 17 eye injuries for females. " F o r t u n a t e l y , t h e majority of the eye injuries were abrasions and minor burns without loss of vision One seventeen year old will require a corneal transplant at a later date due to damage to his cornea, said Mrs Sternberg The injuries were caused by rockets, roman candles and even sparklers ac cording to the information supplied to the Illinois Society by the ophthal m o l o g i s t s t h r o u g h o u t Illinois "It is depressing that every year we can expecV over fifty eye injuries. despite the illegality of fireworks in Illinois. The Illinois society will have to increase its public education program on fireworks dangers in 1981 if we are going to reduce this startling increase in eye injuries," Mrs Sternberg said. • • • • Can you remember the good old days when a man's word was his bond? v/ * V WANTTED THE VAN DELINDER- SWENSON GROUP •A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRY, A LITTLE BIT OF JAZZ AND MELLOW ROCK...
