ago by Choo Choo Roberts, OF
the New York Giants.
The game was already well

Quarterback Norm Van Brock

every running play. Other team
mates cooperated by pulling and
rushing at Wilson SO that he
got every inch that was com

Ironically, the Rams almost
cut Wilson in 1856 and Philade-

Up to this time, the option
Of taking six months active

Such youths who perform their
National Guard service in a
satisfactorily manner were de-

Safety Rules
For All Tots

NEW YORK Although
toys are made to bring happi-
ness and enjoyment into
American homes. they can
also become dangerous if pee
pie ar negligent about their
selection and care, according
to the Toy Manufacturers Of
the US.A., Inc. Carelessness in
the handling and storage Of
toys, coupled with improper
selection Is the cause of many
home accidents.
Though less than 4 per cent
of all home accidents are
caused by toys, nSshaps could
be eliminated if people exer-
ciSed the normal precautions,
the Toy Association stated.
Irrespective of quality and
durability, constant rough play
is bound to effect any toy, the
Association said. But parents
can make playtime a happy
time by adopting these five
basic rules of safety:
/. Store toys when not in use,
don't leave them lying on
stairways, in driveways or
on the floor.
2. Select toys in the proper
age group for each young
ster, don't give infants toys
designed for teen-agers. A
little time and thought in
toy selection now, pays diu-
dendS later.
8. Inspect toys from time to
time so that Splinters or
breaks resulting from rough
play can be mended.
4. Check electrically or chem
ically operated toys pc
riodically to see if they need
repairs. Check electrical toys
for the Underwriters seal
of approval.
5. Buy Anerican-made toys
which are built with round
ed edges, colored with non
toxic paints and generally
meet safely standards.
