“ The a la rm in g p a rt o f the
whole p ictu re is that the accident
to ll is steadily increasing,” he
said. “ I t is appalling th a t 1,900
children under 15 years died of
burns d u rin g the past y e a r and
500 m ore died in falls-dow nstairs,
off porch ra ilin g s o r out o f w in

children died o f poison.”
The E aster Seal Society d ire c
to r offered parents these tips to
prevent accidents: (1) Keep p oi
sons and disinfectants in locked
cabinets; (2) Keep matches out
of reach; (3) T u rn handles o f
kitchen pots tow ard the back of
the stove and aw ay from reach;
<4» Keep guns unloaded and un
der lock and key; (5) Show ch il
dren how to c a rry scissors, kni\<s
and glass containers when w a lk
ing; (6) Fasten w indow screens
securely and be sure the screening
is nailed tig h tly to the fram e.
“ I f parents w ill fo llo w these
precautions, a great m any c rip
p ling accidents can be avoided. ’
