PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2». If78 Keepin' Healthy By Mary Richards Thanksgiving is behind us now, and the Christmas shopping season has begun in earnest. The giving of gifts is one way in which most of us express our love for others, and small children are often the primary recipients of our gifts. In fact, 80 percent of the toys sold in the United States during 1978 will be purchased between now and Christmas! . Shopping for toys can be a lot of fun for an adult. But, when you are selecting a toy, try to remember that some toys, no matter how cute or clever they may seem to you or me, may not be safe or appropriate for small children. Fortunately, safe toys are more plentiful then ever, but we who purchase them must still use some judgment regarding the possible hazard to a small child. What kinds of toys should you avoid? What kinds are safe? The Illinois Department of Public Health has a few guidelines that may help you select safe toys for the children in your life. When shopping for toys, look for those that have smooth, rounded edges. A child can easily be cut by the sharp edges on some toys. Purchase dolls or stuffed animals that have eyes sewn on instead of attached with sharp prongs Eyes attached with prongs are easy to remove and swallow Also avoid buying stuffed animals that have sharp wires in the ears or tails. These wires often poke through the material, and can injure a child. And do not give a child a doll with sharp, pointed pins in her hair. Another suggestion is to stay away from those toys that have small parts which are exposed or easy for a child to remove Children can easily swallow these small parts, or insert them into an ear or nostril. Other types of toys you should not give to small children include those which contain darts, arrows or other missiles that can be thrown or shot at someone. Electrical toys, especially those which heat up, and toys made of glass or brittle plastic are also hazardous in the hands of small children According to health officials, the ideal safe toy: (a) is too large to swallow; <b> has smooth, round edges; (c) has no exposed straight pins, sharp wires or nails; id) has no detachable parts that can lodge in a child's windpipe, ear or nostril; and (e) has no elec­ trical component, especially one that generates heat So, even though you have a million things to do during the holidays and your time is limited, remember that toys are expressions of love, and choose them with care' If you want more information about hazardous toys, contact your local health department, or write to Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health.

This is the recipe attached and it makes 2 pound coffee cans full I make it often during the year as well as holiday time. Pour 2 cup* boiling water over 2 cups Nabisco All Bran and 2'/» cups Kellog All Bran -- let stand while mixing the follow­ ing: 5 cups flour 2V» cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 4 eggs 1 quart buttermilk 6 level teaspoons soda 1 cup shortening Mix shortening and sugar, add beaten eggs, combine flour, salt and soda and add to first mixture alternately with buttermilk. Now mix in the All Bran and water -- it should have cooled some by now Very very good muffins. Political Overtones Two women were overheard talking in a cocktail lounge. "What I uonf," said the younger lady, is a man who will treat me as if I were a voter and he was a candidate. " Hot Debate At a recent political debate, one of the candidates claimed that his opponent was controlled by powerful interests The opponent calmly replied that his wife should be left out of the argument!
