Phoenix Health Department
Spearheods Local Campaign

Designed to warn parents OF haZ-
ards in the home area which
threaten the lives and limbs of
their children, Child Safety Week
is being observed this week in
Phoenix by proclamation Of Mayor
Frank Murphy.
The Phoenix Public Health De-
partment is Spearheading Child
Safety Week activities as part of
its year-round crusade to reduce
the tragic toll Of child accidents in
the home.
The Mayor called upon all citi-
Zens to cooperate with the health
department and other. interested
organizations under whose sponsor
ship the public education program
will be conducted. Deploring the
fact that accidents far outnumber
all other causes of childhood
deaths, the mayor urged parents to
observe Child Safety Week by
checking their homes to eradicate
dangers and teaching safe behavior
to children.
Kitchen Danger Area
The average modern kitchen con-
tains $50 square feet of potential
death.
DR.. James A. Dolce, local public
health director, used this graphic
description today to illustrate acci-
dent statistics which Indicate that
the kitchen is the most dangerous
room in the house for children.
He said that among the killing
and crippling accidents to children
which occur frequently in the fam
lily kitchen are poisoning from COM
mon household items. These include
bleaches, lye, ammonia, and furni-
ture polish; scalding from hot Ii
quids; manning from sharp instru-
ments, such as knives and ice picks;
and burning and manning from un-
guarded appliances.
= According to DR.. Dolce, more
than 600 children die annually
from home poisoning accidents,
and 36 per cent Of these deaths are
attributable to common household
items. Most fatal childhood acci-
dents from poisoning are to chill
dren less, than five years Of age,
he added.
There is only one sure way to
prevent these tragedies" the pub
lie health director said. Cleaning

fluid, cooking extracts, paint thin
nerS, kerosene, VarniSheS, bleacheS,
insecticides, and other toxic sub
stances which ordinarily are left in
unguarded cabinets, closets and
drawers, should be kept in a special
utilitry cabinet under lock and
key"
He pointed to scalding from hot
| liquids as another common kitchen
catastrophe, noting that many seri-
Gus or fatal accidents occur when
curious tot reaches for pot han
die protruding from the kitchen
stove or electric cord dangling from
a coffee pot.
Turn pot handles parallel to the
front of the stove and place coffee
pots and other hot food containers
| in the center Of the table to pre-
vent children from pulling them
over on themselves" he said.
DR.. Dolce said that knives, ice
picks and scissors should be kept
out of reach of children until they
are old enough to be taught their
safe use. AS a precaution against
burning and manning by electrical
appliances, he suggested that they
be kept unplugged and out Of
sight when not in use, and that
youngsters in high chairs be placed
safe distance away from them.
For prevention of kitchen acci-
dents, the important thing to re-
member is that what is out Of
reach for a child today may not be
tomorrow" he concluded. Chill
dren grow rapidly and acquire
great agility. A high shelf is not
enough. To be sure, keep danger
Gus items under lock and key"
He urged that mothers make a
thorough check of their kitchens
to see that all child hazards are
removed. To assist in this, he said
that the Phoenix Public Health
Department has a free home safey
checklist which is available to par
ents for their use in checking their
entire homes room by room.

Notes From

BY GERALD A. BRANGNfAN

HA MIL T ON, BERMUDA,
(GlobaD The spring atmosphere
in this fair Isle, is all that could be
desired, and believe it or not, the
Longtails are back, which means
that summer is fast approaching.
Bermudians in America will re-
member these warm weather birds
from the South. They have been
regular visitors here for many
years. Ourweather reports may
not always be pleasant, but the
presence Of our snow whites gives
us hope that we can settle down
to seeing some real Bermuda soon.
College Week is here, and there
are thousands of students enjoying
their holidays here 80. Visiting

muda's beautiful sunshine. Wesley

got along well together. This, of
course, was a delaying technique
of the sort every child uses who
doesn't want to go to bed Just yet.
He's been terribly busy, he claims.
and is getting ready for bed just
tas fast as he can. Both he and his
mother see through that one just
as clearly as we all can see through
this present stall on the part of
some Southern "spokeSmen."
The plea to '1et us work things
out" is actually a plea for the
maintenance Of the status quo.
Left alone, they would never work
it out, and statement that reveals
this most clearly is one made by
one S. E. Rogers, lawyer for Clar-
endon County School District %,
in South Carolina. He said, II don't
think the white people will send
their children to a Negro school,"
This certainly doesn't sound as if
anybody had been busy trying to
work anything out, but way to-
keep things just as they are.
These boys have been getting
away with this kind of thing for
years and it's nice finally to hear
them challenged. When Rogers said
he didn't believe the attitude
of his community is ready for inte-
grated schools now, Chief Justice
Warren reminded him: Its not a.
question of conforming to an atti-
tude, but of conforming to a de-
cree" This was a very simple, di-
rect, and effective way of saying
that it is no longer possible for
any of us tonurse our own peculiar
little whims; that all of us have
rights that are to be respected,
The enemies of any kind of civil
rights legislation have always
claimed that you can't legislate
love. 1t is important now, that
everybody realize that equal oppor-
tunity has nothing whatever to do
with love or sentiment. 1t is pure.
Iva matter of rights, and the hard
boiled business Of being prepared
to make living. Nothing could be
more fundamental, and it's nice to
hear this fact reiterated with the
force of the Supreme Court behind
it.
