Wingham OvancesTimea•
,Dear Sir: •
This afternoon when I was doing
My shopping in Wingham, I was
alarmed. by a series of detonations
on the main street, I then saw five
Or six children (ages roughly seven
to ton yeara) crowding in the
doorway of .Weiwood'a stere, light,
Mg firecrackers and throwing them
onto the Sidewalk, Other children
ran about lighfing craelsers, which
Wore also exploding intermit-
tently on.the ground under the blue
spruce trees outside the town hall.
I was much surprised at children
being able tp get hold of such dan-
gerous things and using them with
no supervision.
I can, of course, understand the
custom of setting them off at a
celebration, like May 24th, but as-
sume that responsible people would
also be, present on such occasions.
An explosive is still an explosive,
whether handled by a child, or an
adult, and is always dangerous and
proper care should he taken to pro-
tect the .tier and the public. Play-
ing with firecrackers also involves
the use of matches, which are ob-
vious fire hazards, in the hands of
children. Are there not enough
fires in this country already?
It seems odd to me,` that parents
give their children money to buy
such dangerous "toys." What wo ila
their feelings be if their child was
blinded or lost a couple of fingers
after an - afternoon's amusement,
and would they be pleased at hav-
ing to compensate a passer-by hurt
by anqxplosive cracker?
Sure& there should be *police
regulations prohibiting the sale of
explosives to minors.
Yours faithfully,
Ursula Moszkowska
