In many towns and cities, the Santa Claus parade has ushered Santa to his throne in local depart- ment stores and malls. At home, the festive hustle and bustle has begun, and children are excited as 'the yearly ceremony of "put- ting up the tree' is drawing near. "It is a wonderful time for both children and adults alike," says Marybelle Ford, Program Co-ordinator of the Lung Associa- tion in Huron -Perth. "But in the midst of happiness, we would like to warn parents that possible tragedy lurks in the form of the brightly coloured plastic ornaments dangl- ing from the tree." The dangling ornament often entices the toddler to grab it, put it in his month, only to realize that it isn't candy. Surprised, the youngster tries to spit it out. But it cracks, and a portion of the plastic lodges in his windpipe or as aspirated (inhaled) into his lungs. This is a possible tragedy in the midst of fun. Aspiration of foreign objects is a leading cause of death and injury among children under six years of age. How can you help to keep preschoolers safe? The Lung Association suggests: ` do not place tiny ornaments on low tree boughs where a youngster can.grab them; "tell San- ta Claus to bring presents that do nb.ve button eyes or tiny car wheels that c co loose; * keep small "finger food" ac peanuts and popcorn off low coffee tables when you entertain. Food also can b aspirated. c
