Canadian -made toys are
'particularly safe.. because Our
manufacturers \ are most
conscious of toy safety," says
Jack Dyson. execyti,ve assistant
to the president of',Irwin Toy
Limited. Mr. Dyson, with other
members of the Canadian Toy

worked closely with the

the official HazardousProducts
(Toys) Regulations..
During the intcrview with Mr.
Dyson, he referred to a repoxt to
consumers by Mrs. A. R. B.
Lawrence, president, Canadian
Toy -Testing Council, who wrote,
"The last year produced several
excited , flurries about toys on
'the Canadian market which were
deemed by some members of. the
publlt and the'news media to be
unsafe. The whole subject of
unsafe toys is, of course, highly
charged with emotion and leads
to the kind of hysteria that
prompted. one mother to write
us: "I've heard so much about
some of' the products th,at,' are
being put out not being safe for
children, that one has tostie
afraid of everything."
