Ly Carol Hart Teaching Safety to Children Did you know that, based on past experience, nearly one of every three children in the nation will suffer an accident this year resulting in an injury serious enough to require medical attention? season fast approaching, this is a good With the consider to that safety researchers now believe that many of time these accidents can be prevented if parents remember that children learn and perceive danger quite differently from the way we back-to-scho- ol ourselves do. The Council on Family Health, sponsored by the manufacturers of medicines as a public service, says this difference helps to explain why a three- - or four-year-o- ld may sample the entire contents of a medicine botle left on the kitchen table while his mother goes to answer the telephone. Even if the child has been warned never to touch medicines kept out of his reach in the cabinet (and this warning should be given), once the bottle becomes accessible, the child may no longer consider its contents a danger. The point, says the Council, is that a small child does not possess what we call common sense. Another example is the child who is taught the role of traffic signals but not the meaning of the red light, which may represent his red rubber ball or fire engine instead of stop. The Council suggests that parents consider the hazards a child may not yet see, never overestimate his capacity to understand al-wa- danger, reinforce safety con- repeated instruction, never tell a child that medicine tastes just The spirit of Jonathan Chap- man, better known as Johnny Appleseed, lives in central Pennsylvania. Working from an old farm near Phillipsburg, W. G. Turk Jones has planted more than 35 million trees in the past 20 years most of them on blighted land that had been stripped for coal. More than 5,000 square miles of the United States have been ripped apart by men and machines seeking coal,, gold, clay, stone, sand gravel, phosphate rock and other resources, says the National Geographic. To meet increasing demands, another 150,000 acres are now gouged out and blasted open by strip miners each year. The jagged, surrealistic landscape left in the wake of these mining operations long was regarded as worthless and ruined ground. Nothing, it appeared, could grow on the tumbled earth mounds aptly called spoilbanks. But spurred by public outcry and state legislation, mining companies in recent years have been reclaiming spoilbanks and turning them into productive land. Today, some of the juciest apples in the supermarket may have come from a coal mine. Everything from schools and Bottles Bring Higher Prices Empty Than When Filled Shovels again are making the dirt fly in western mining towns that had lain deserted for nearly a century. The new crop of prospectors is not driven by gold fever. The men and women are spurred by hopes of unearthing old bottles. To growing ranks of bottle collectors, a tall fat sided flask bearing the name Wormsers, which held early western redeye, makes a hard days digging worth while. David F. Robinson of the National Geographic staff, hunted bottles with friends at Hamilton, a ghost town in Nevada. He tells of finding an opium vial used by a miner in the 1870s to sooth his aches. of a cabin is worth more than $150 today; reproductions from the 1870s brings $50. Also prized are the first pop bottles, with attached stoppers, made in the late 1880s. Bottles need not be antique to catch the eye of collectors. An early Coke bottle, from 1916 or 1917, can command a price of $80 or more. Another first the original no deposit, no return bottle made for Schlitz in the mid 1950s is becoming a collectors item. The ruby red bottles now sell for $5.
