Poisonous Xmas
Are
Danger To Tots

The State Board of Health and
the Delaware Safety Council has
called attention to the dangers
of poisoning from misuse of GER
tain Christmas decorations.
There is danger of poisoning
of children and pets who may
drink the contents of colored
bubbling Christmas tree decora-
tions. The colored fluid which
bubbles is methylene chloride.
Poison Information Centers
throughout the country have
been alerted to expect inquiries
from parents and physicians on
accidental ingestion of such col
ored fluids from Christmas tree
decorations. The fluid can be ex-
tremely toxic to young children,
it was pointed out by Dr.. Mark
Kenyon, director of the State
Board of Health's program for
prevention of crippling.
Another group of potentially
toxic substances used frequent
ly in the home at Christmas time
are fireplace colors. These SUBJ
stances are metallic salts which
when thrown into a fire bring
forth variously colored flames
resulting from the burning of diff
ferent metallic compounds.
Such powdered materials and
the colored fluids in tree decora-
tions are potential hazards when
they can be reached by small
children, DR.. Kenyon said, and
should be used only with ex-
treme care. He recommended that
they not be used in homes hav-
ing small children or pets, where
curiosity may expose them to a
danger which outweighs the ben
efits of the bubbling fluids or
colored flame.
The Delaware Safety Council
and the State Board of Health
also offered five other sugges-
tions for Christmas safety at
Smyrna times., 1958-12-18


On Christmas morning gift pack
ages will be torn open in haste
and the wrappings discarded
haphazardly. Provide a metal
container for their safe disposal.
4. All gifts aren't safe-unless
used properly. If you receive a
gun for a gift, learn the rules of
handling firearms safely. Look
for the UL) label on all electric
al gifts.
5. Eat wisely and get adequate
rest. A dull-witted, ill-feeling
person is ripe for accidents.

home. These are:
l. Keep your decorations in a
safe place out of the way until
you need them.
2. The tree is the last thing
you should bring into the house.
Dry Christmas trees are highly
flammable. Be sure yours is
freshly cut. Make sure you'll
have pan or container of water
in which to stand the tree. Learn
to hang the lights carefully and
secure the tree firmly.
3. Prepare for the safe dispos-
al of discarded gift wrappings.

l85 Tots To Get
Firenen Gifts

Santa Claus will have a real
assist on Christmas Eve when
more than twenty volunteers of
the Citizens Hose Company start
out about six o'clock to deliver
the hundreds of toys which have
been assembled at the fire house.
At the time this paper went to
press there were thirty-eight
families, including 1875 children
on the list to be visited. This
number was expected to rise.
The ratio was about fifty-fifty
white and Negro families. The
climax to the weeks of renovat-
ing and painting toys is reached
on Christmas Eve and the boxes
were packed on Tuesday night
ready for delivery. The children
who will receive the gifts live
throughout the wide area which
comes under the protection of
the local fire company. A more
detailed story on the enormous
project of good will conducted
each year by the firemen will
appear in next weeks issue of

Master Dislikes'
Lions Urged At
Annual Christmas
Celebration Here

The annual Christmas celebra-
ton of the Smyrna Lions Club
was held Monday night at The
Wayside Inn, with District Gov
ernor Edward Hall and Cabinet
Secretary Houston Warren, of
Dover, making an official visit.
In his message to the Lions, Mr..
Hall drew a parallel to the story
of Joseph and Mary and the lost
opportunity of the inn-keeper,
who failed to take advantage of
the history-making birth by not
having room at the inn. He warn
ed the Lions not to let the op-
portunity slip by for saying kind
words, giving cheer, consoling
the sorrowful, and giving hope
and assistance to those in need.
"The best time to start doing the
things that we have planned to
do, is now," he said, urging the
Lions to see that their actions
are humble and that they master
their dislikes. The response was
made by Robert Dunning, who
also paid tribute to MIR. Warren
for his service to Lionism. The
Lions exchanged gifts of toys,
accompanied by pertinent orig
inal verse, which was read aloud
by the recipient at the meeting.
The toys were then taken to the
fire house to be added to the col
lection which will be distributed
to needy families on Christmas
Eve. Richard Jones, chairman for
the Lions Christmas dance on
Dec. 27, said that table reserva-
tions are available. The dance
will be held at the Allan McLane
Armory. The Rev. F. Sydney
Bancroft, president of the club,
was host at an informal hour
before the meeting. William Min
ner outlined plans for the tour
by Santa Claus on Christmas
Eve. Harold Quillen was the
guest of Wells Campbell.
