Details of the accident on Friday, June 15, when Clifford Olson was killed near Telocaset show the manner of his death. It was the general belief from first reports that he had run head-on into a freight train while on the speeder, but this was erroneous. It seems that according to the signals, Clif ford would have had sufficient time to get his speeder off the track but the train, a freight of empty re frigerator cars was coming down hill at great speed and Clifford had the speeder off the track except the small wheel which he was trying to release when he was struck and instantly killed. His death cast a shadow of sorrow over the entire community. At the last meeting of the county court it was decided to move W. A. Goodwin from the Morrow Gen eral hospital to the Heppner hos pital which is under the supervi sion of Dr. McMurdo.

"The parents of three small chil dren killed by fireworks last year recently appeared before the Roch ester, New York, Common Council and urged the adoption of an ordin ance to prohibit the sale and dis charge of fireworks within the city with the exception of the display of set pieces at community celebra tions." The ordinance requested by these bereaved parents was passed by the council too late so far as they were concerned but their ac tion may be the means of saving other children. "Since it is probable that the authorities of most communities in Oregon will still allow the sale and use of dangerous fireworks on Inde pendence Day in some cities have even allowed it for days in advance in defiance of present laws it be comes the duty of the State Depart ment of Health to point out to par ents some of the more important causes of Fourth of July accidents and means by which they can safe guard their youngsters. "The type of firework which is set off by grinding under the heel or by pounding and which is known by various fanciful names contains phosphorous, a deadly poison. It is not a rare thing for a young child, mistaking this material for candy, to put some of it in his mouth, usually with a fatal result. Or children may become poisoned by handling the material and subse quently putting their fingers in their mouths. If an accident of this kind happens, give the victim liquid pet rolatum or mineral oil and call a doctor immediately. "Severe burns are always danger ous. On the Fourth don't dress your children in fluffy material which will easily catch fire. Even sparklers, which ordinarily are harmless, have been reported as set- ling nre to light muslin dresses. "Tetanus or lockjaw is perhaps the danger most to be feared as a result of Fourth of July accidents. The lockjaw germ will only grow in the absence of oxygen. Its hab itat is the soil, particularly manured earth. Deep wounds in the soft flesh, such as are caused by blank cartridge wads, are particularly dangerous as the wad usually car ries surface dirt to the deeper tis sues which gives this germ the best possible condition for growth and the development of its poisons. In such cases call your doctor at once and let him give tetanus antitoxin. If given early enough this will pre vent lockjaw; if given after symp toms develop its action is far less positive. Lockjaw once fully devel oped is commonly fatal. "Have we overestimated Fourth of July dangers? Last year after the holiday, editorial comment was practically unanimous for regulated celebrations. But memories are short, a year is a long time, and it is again up to the parents to protect their own children. "And just a word to the adults. According to the State Traffic bu reau automobile fatalities are trip led on the Fourth of July. Play safe!" ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH. Rev. Thomas J. Brady, pastor.
