It is estimated that 700,000 children are injured by unsafe toys every year in this country. Another 500,000 children are hurt while using swings and 200,000 from slides. WHILE MOST INJURIES are not fatal and many not serious, this is no consolation to the parents of children who are killed or seriously injured by defective or misused toys. Extreme care should be used in choosing toys for Christmas. Although most toys are considered safe, there are many with features below minimum safety standards which make them potentially dangerous. One of the most important considerations in choosing a toy is to carefully inspect its construction. The toys you choose for your children should be durable enough to stand rough treatment. TOYS SHOULD be examined for wood that can splinter, metal with sharp edges, or plastic that can shatter. A toy should be made so that a child can't pull off a wheel or break it open to leave exposed sharp edges or small parts that can be swallow- is minus 16 degrees. ed. t THE GIFT BOX an exquisite gift package filled ... of chocolates and with a h Dugway underwent another record temperature this week, and unlike the record set August 11, this one was for a record low temperature.

They should be used under supervision and always carry the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) test label. An electric train or race set should have a circuit breaker on the transformer, and a child should be taught the correct way to plug and unplug an electric toy. Play stoves, irons, and metal moulding and wood burning devices get hot and should be handled with care. EVEN SOFT STUFFED animals and dolls may have button eyes that can be pulled off and swallowed. Wire used to form an ear on an animal can poke through the fabric and inflict scratches, and a poorly made doll can come apart at the seams and expose the stuffing, which youngsters might put their mouths. Parents are urged to take the time when they shop to examine the toys they plan to buy. Try to match the toy to the interests and abilities of the child. Keep in mind how your child will use the toy. Is it durable enough to stand up under rough play, and what are the possibilities of misuse? Although consumer groups have brought dangerous toys to public attention, the primary responsibility to insure that a toy is safe is still that of the parents.
