FIREWORKS
Anyone who has read about the dozen'
or so children who°"lost their eyesight last,
year, the .scores .of fires caused by prank-
eters throwing firecrackers into doorways
and windows, or the • 4 -year old- . lad who.
died of
burns when firecracker powder,
saturated his clothing,: cannot, but be con
cerned ° with, the practice of igniting ex-
plosives in .commemoration, of Queen.- Vic
toria's .. birthday:. '
Aside , from the'annual sacrificeof hu-
man flesh caused by' •_allowing ,/these ;so-
called toys' to be sold to children, .the
Ontario Safety League says •property dam-
age each year over the May: 24th week-
end runs into many thousands of dollars.
One such fire in. London last; year resulted
when children stuffed firecrackers around
a railing -shed door.. and lighted them. ,Al-
though damage was estimated at $250;000,
it could . have . been far Worse, for flames,
Fame within inches ofsetting- off a box
car loaded with dynamite., �.
lea time... we faced the fact, • that by any
other ,name, fireworks are still explosives,
and weare allowing children to play with
FUN OR FELONY?
these: , as though:' they were toys. Many •
Ontario communities. have already passed
municipal legislation . restricting: their sale ,
to varying degrees,
Some community Fire Departments. and
Safety Councils, deserve highestcredit for
taking the initiative and arranging public
firewdrksdisplays, with firefighting eqip-
ment ' at, hand. Not only are such displays
' ;safer than the "do-it-yourself" kind, they
also provide more dazzling types of fire-
works than the . average child .could • buy,.
and therefore a more spectacular enter-
taini n.ent,
Let's not be so blinded to danger -by
sentimental, memories of .our chlidhood
freedom !with fireworks, ; thatwe, permit
widespread injury and death in the name
of`' fun. The potential . destructive power
of these "toys" has "-been proved .,many
times over. Children are simply not cap-
able of handling fireworks safely: If eyes,•
limbs,, lifeand property are the price of a..,
few .thrills on the holiday weekend, : we
commit a felony in continuing to pay that
price, •;
