KEEP THIN PLASTIC AWAY FROM CHILDREN
A Conti, i To Parents
Those polyethylene bags which preserve you r food, keep dry cleaning and laundry
near
and serve many useful purposes in the home, sho uld never be left a children.
As with so many products of re-
cent scientific progress, thin plastic
should be heated with wisdom and
caution. Just as electrical fix-
tures, refrigerators, patent medi-
cines and cleaning fluids, which
have been such a boon to comfort
and health in recent years, have
become a normal, useful part of
every household, so will plastic—
if the same reasonable precautions
are taken to ensure the safety of
children.
Remember, none- of these scien-
tific discoveries are menaces in
themselves. It is only through
carelessness or lack of information
on the part of parents that they
become dangerous.
No plastic material ever attack-
ed a child. Instances of suffoca-
tion by plastic in every case have
been due to misuse by an adult.
In some instances, mothers have
re -used plastic material originally
intended to protect dry-cleaned
clothing, as crib -mattress or pillow
coverings. In others, plastic bags
were actually given to children as
playthings, or left around the home
where they could obtain them.
Here Are The Facts
Danger to children lies in the
fact that this material is complet-
ely air -tight. If placed in an in-
fant's crib, the thin fabric may be
attracted to the baby's • face by
static electricity, and cling here,
cutting off air intake and causing
suffocation.
So far in Canada ten deaths due
to suffocation attributed to plastic
have occurred in 1959 — a small
figure, true, especially when com-
pared with the countless thousands
of child deaths due to auto acci-
dents, drowning, electrical mis-
haps and poisonings, and even
smothering by soft bedding partic-
ularly pillows. However, it does
indicate that an additional hazard
has joined the ranks—one which
will bear watching in equal meas-
ure.

Simple Solution—Common Sense
Here are some basic, common-
sense rules for safe use of plastic
in your home:
"' Thin limp plastic film such as
that used by dry cleaners to pro-
tect garments and blankets
should never be used as a make-
shift cover for crib mattresses
or pillows. Special covers of
heavy gauge plastic are designed
for this purpose and available al.
most stores.
'' Keep thin plastic bags away
from children, the same as you
would poisons, matches or kniv-
es. IT IS NOT A TOY.
* Train older children never to
place plastic bags over the head
or leave near smaller children.

has served its original purpose
discard it safely. Either burn
it, use it as a garbage wrap or
tie a knot in it before throwing
into garbage container.
Thin plastic is a great advance
in home convenience and sanita-
tion—use it wisely and safely.
Heavy rainfall during July and
hot humid weather of August, ac-
companied by morning fogs, have
been ideal for the spread of blight
in Huron County white bean
fields.
During the past few days num-
erous bean fields have been turn-
ing yellow rapidly and upon closer
examination the pods were notic-
ed to be pitted with brown marks,
accompanied by water marked
areas on the pods.
Professor Kelly, of the Botany
Department, Ontario Agricultural
College, has indicated that this
is a Bacterial Blight of Beans and
has been spread by the hot, humid
weather. He further indicated
that all bean growers should be
wishing for hot, dry weather to
hasten the ripening process. The
blight as yet doesn't appear to
have penetrated the heavy thick
lining of the Sanilac variety to
the actual bean itself. If dry wea-
ther comes and prevents the sp-
read, very little -damage can be
expected, but if the reverse wea-
ther comes, damage to the beans
can be expected.
The professor states that little
oan be done at the moment to
stop the spread as sprays for
blight are costly and not too ef-
fective. Further tests are .being
made to isolate the organism and
see what can be done.
He suggests that bean growers
should avoid cultivation of beans
during wet weather and that
roguing for weeds should not take
place while dew is on the ground,
and that straw from infected
fields should not find its way
through manure back to next
year's bean field.
Some work is being planned to
seoure seed from areas not hav-
ing high humidity, thus relatively
blight free seed. Farmers and
seed dealers should be checking
for next year's seed supply from
disease free fields.
Anthracnose, a disease of beans,
is not yet apparent in the Sanilac
variety, which is highly resistant
to this disease.
