but they can be dangerous, Eu
gene Fire Marshal Lester Barker
warned Wednesday.
Barker said he had received
several calls from frightened
parents who had lit candles near
the contraption and the whole
thing went up In smoke.
For sale at several bakeries,
the rariri-t is celluloid structure
which Is mounted on top the i
birthday cake. When wound, it
whirls and simulates a merry-go-round.
Perfectly safe, says the fire
marshal, except when near heat
or fire. Then the whole thing Is
highly dangerous.
Barker warned parents to
keep fire and heat away from
the gadgets. He pointed out that
a birthday cake Is nearly always
mounted on a table with paper
table clothes or napkins and
surrounded by children.
"No one wants a tragedy in
stead of a birthday party," was
his comment.
