SAFE TOYS ARE BEST LAFAYETTE - Make this Christmas merrier. Buy toys that will intrigue your child again and again, decrease his rough play, and be safe for him to use. • The Child Protection and Toy Safety Act became law soon after last Christmas, says Miss Jan Armstrong, extension consumer marketing specialist at Purdue university. This new law amended the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to cover toys with electrical, mechanical, and thermal hazards. The lawauthorized the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to ban unsafe toys from the market. Even with the new law. unsafe toys may still appear on the Christmas shelves this year because of lack of funds allotted to HEW for enforcement. Once toys are put on the shelf, no one removes them until some unsuspecting parent buys them for his child. Manufacturers or sellers seldom take them away first. So the tender, loving care needed to protect the safety of your children must come from you. What can you do? Try these precautions; Read the labels; your child may not be able to.

Watch for warnings and if you have doubts about .the toy’s safety, forget it. Check dolls, rattles, and other toys for sharp spikes used to hold them together. Buy battery-operated toys for youngsters under seven and UL approved electrical toys for older ones. Look for smooth and rolled edges on toys. Be sure gears and springs are enclosed. Avoid protruding parts. Test the toys before you wrap them. Christmas may be ruined if
