Accidental burns, loss of sight or an 4rm or a leg will be the result for nme children because of the inm fringement of the law, the educa- |P tional committee of the Illinois State Medical Society cautions in * Health Talk. .. Designed as a protective meaitfSre, the law .seeks to prevent private use of explosives, whether . they be rockets, firecrackers or sparklers. The tragedies associated with indiscriminate use of these forms of fireworks are permanent reminders of carelessness during ^ a few minutes of play. ^ How much better to take the child to one of the numerous public displays, where every precaution is taken to safeguard spectators? Let the child enjoy the beauty of the colorful shown, but teach him to understand the need for safety. Parents should also caution youngsters in other rules for playing safely. A bicycle, for example, ^ should not be given to a child until he understands that he is being given a trust. Carelessness on the streets with bicycles has resulted in permanent injuries, even death, as well as weeks of illness through broken and crushed bones.

The automobile is a convenient vehicle to take the family on a jaunt to £ the country, away from cltv beat. How many will arrive at their destination safely,' because they attempted to get there too soon? Caution should be used on the road. Speeding should be avoided and certainly anyone driving a flir should not drink. Mental and physical alertness Ik necessary to avoid accident. Remember it may not be you, but the other fellow who has taken the W chanre. Be ready, so that you can avoid the accident. Holidays are intended for fun ind Recreation. Keep them so. Whatever your plans, include a little common sense so that you and your family will be intact to enjoy the next one!. f TKACHK SHtaVME A shortage of 1,104 qualified teachers exists in the elementary field , in Illinois, according to Noble J.
