Not so for the cruise control, which is a gas saver on the open road because it keeps the car at a steady pace. The many manual adjustments you make with the gas pedal to keep your speed at 55 mph use up fuel. Today's toys not only come in a multitude of shapes, sizes and colors, they pose a variety of dangers. The sharp edges of toys can cut, small parts can lodge in children's mouths, loud noises can harm ears, sharp points can stab, propelled objects can hurt eyes and electric toys can burn or electrocute. • Vr Every year, toys injure 175,000 children. So as Christmas season nears, be sure you buy safe toys for your children, says Kathi Heberer, McHenry county Extension advisor. One of the most common toy-related injuries is when a child swallows a small plaything and suffocates. For example, squeakers in squeeze toys sometimes can be removed and swallowed. To prevent such tragedy, don't provide small children with toys that have small, removable parts. One of the most important rules, Ms. Heberer says, is to keep in mind your child's age and skill level when shopping for a toy. A toy in the hands of an 8-year-old heating elements can become a weapon in the recommended only hands of a 2-year-old. "flame resistant" label and if it is a stuffed toy or doll, look for the "washable- hygenic materials'* label. Electric toys should carry the Underwr i t e r ' s laboratory label, Ms. Hebere r con t inues . Supervise children when they use electric toys and remember that toys with are for children over 8-years-old. Check toy labels for such warnings as "Not recom­ mended for children under 3." But remember, even if your child fits the approved age, he still might not be capable of handling the toy. If the toy is painted, look for a "non-toxic" label. If the toy is fabric look for the Periodically check toys for damage, Heberer says. What appeared to be a safe toy on Christmas day may be broken and dangerous by spring. A broken teddy bear with a wire sticking from out of its limbs would not make a safe companion. Also, plastic and glass toys can easily break and cut your child. Propelled toys-such as arrows-are protected with rubber suction or cork tips; otherwise they can become real weapons, not just toy ones. Ms. Heberer says another consideration in toy shop­ ping is where you live. If you live in an area without paved sidewalks, a pair of roller skates or a skateboard may not be a wise gift. The child might test his new wheels down the middle of the street. •„ Even toy storage has its hazards. Be sure the toy chest has a lightweight lid that opens easily from within and doesn't have a sharp edge. For extra safety, make sure it has ventilation holes. Marijuana-A Losing Bet? "Marijuana smoke con­ tains 50 percent more cancer-causing materials than tobacco smoke," says Donald P. Tashkin, M.D., in the November issue of the Bulletin of the American Lung association. "So the potential for causing lung cancer is real."- Dr. Tashkin's research on healthy young adults in­ dicated ' that chronic marijuana smoking may impair the large airways to an extent not observed in habitual tobacco smokers. "The smoke also has toxic effects on cells which have an important role in protecting the lungs against infection and other noxious insults J' he says in the Christmas Seal publication. Because tome reports indicated that"'smoking marijuana may be beneficial to people who suffer from ., asthma since it dilates the airways of the lungs-in contrast to tobacco smoke, which constricts the air- ways--Dr. Tashkin at­ tempted to involve asth­ matics in a study. However, he had to stop the study because of immediate ad­ verse reactions in the asth­ matics. One of the few researchers to focus on the effects of marijuana on the lungs, Dr. Tashkin is associate professor of medicine in the Pulmonary division at the School ; of ' Medicine, \ University of California alt- Los Angeles. He is a member of the American Thoracic society, the medical section of the American Lung association. - The lung association ar­ ticle maintains that more research is necessary to determine the precise ef­ fects on the lungs-and the rest of the body -of the hundreds of chemicals in marijuana smoke. Promoting the popularity of marijuana, says the lung association article, is a paraphernalia industry that publishes magazines which glamorize the illegal product and produces devices to increase the amount that can be inhaled. Sold legally, except in one state, to both adults and children, plastic bottles can deliver blasts of marijuana smoke into the lungs. Gas masks can trap Pregnant, NEED HELP?

"Practice" alfalfa is sold to children to teach them how to smoke m a r i j u a n a . T h e paraphernalia industry, according to some reports, may now be a billion dollar one. Of special concern is the increasing number of teenagers and young adults who smoke marijuana regularly and may continue for years ahead. Estimates are that four million teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17 are current users, and the figure is on the rise. "Young people are making themselves guinea pigs, no doubt about it," says Robert L. DuPont, M.D., formerly director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "They are skating on the thinnest of thin ice, and they hope they are not running a very severe health risk. I think they are going to lose their bets." The article recommends more definitive research and encourages pa ren t s , educators, physicians, and policy makers to consider the current evidence that "warrants attention, even alarm." THOUGHT FOR FOOD By GOULD CROOK Homemade Candies v. Soon we'll be into holiday sweets to>eat and to give. Keep some tips in mind when you're making these goodies. "*• Rub butter around the top of the pan when making fudge, it will not boil over. For smoother and creamier fudge, odd 1 Tea­ spoon of corn-starch to each cup of sugar. Keep candy smooth by avoiding the sugar crystals, so be sure to dissolve sugar thoroughly before a boiling point is reached. When you check candy by the cold water test, drop about Vt teaspoon of the boiling hot syrup into the water and test the firm­ ness with your fingers. Separate moist and creamy candies from brittle types before storing in containers. The laboring man is often the healthiest, and happiest, man in his neighborhood.. Food Is Money Don't let the usual high cost of food items lure you into buying more of a particular item that is on sale than you can properly store or use with­ in a reasonable amount of time. Regardless of price, food allowed to spoil before use re­ presents money lost. Some food experts estimate that Ameri­ cans waste at least one-third of the food they take into their homes --through spoilage, im­ proper storage or leftovers. Dr. Nadine Tope, food and nutrition specialist with the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, says this re­ presents $17 billion in food costs. \ PUPPET PRESENTATION The public is invited to enjoy a special puppet presentation of Tolstoy's "The Shoemaker's Dream" starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18, at the Unity church of Crystal Lake located at the intersection of Rt. 31 and U.S. 14.
