Description
"How may I celebrate the Fourth of July—and still avoid the possibility of being numbered among scores who will probably be killed, or among the several thousands who will probably be seriously injured?
This is a practical question which the National Safety council is trying to help [ill.] and their parents to answer.
Toward this end they have complied a list of Fourth of July suggestions, as follows:
Don’t take chances. Don’t hold firecrackers. Don’t fool with firearms. Don’t throw firecrackers. Don’t play pranks with fire. Don’t permit flames to spread. Don’t carry fireworks in pockets. Don’t fool with dynamite caps. Don’t take any chances in swimming. Don’t drive fast if you are an autoist. Don’t fail to be doubly careful if you are a pedestrian. Don’t fail to caution your children if you are a parent. Don’t let the youngsters play with pinwheels, torpedoes, roman candles, rockets, toy pistols or any fireworks. Don’t feel that you have to celebrate with fireworks. It is much better to join in your community’s safe and sane celebration. Don’t let down on caution just because it’s the Fourth. There were 239 Fourth of July fatal accidents last year and more than 50 additional deaths later from lockjaw. 3,000 serious injuries, and tens of thousands of minor accidents Fire-works played a big part in these tragedies.
To lesson Fourth of July accidents be sure to heed the following advice:
Have first aid equipment. Know how to use. Use precautions in water. Learn how to resusicate. Treat all minor injuries. Smother clothing fires. Use lockjaw antitoxin, Plan your celebration. Join in community fireworks. Stamp out little fires. Avoid poisoning from fireworks."
