TOY PISTOLS A MENACE ?
The nation-wide campaign to keep children from
playing with toy pistols, launched recently by the Am
erican Congress of Parent-Teacher Associations, has
failed to strike a responsive chord in the breast of
Judge Joseph B. Lindsley of Spokane, Wash., who has
handled hundreds of juvenile delinquency cases.
The judge fails to see that letting a youngster play
with toy guns is in the slightest degree likely to turn
him into a bandit wrhen he grows up. '
“The spirit of adventure is born into boys,” says
the judge. “They want to read ‘Daniel Boone’ and
other stories of adventure. Then they want toy guns
—and, as they grow older, they should have firearms
and be taught to use them.
“A man who is following criminal tendencies does
n’t need a gun, if he is determined to commit a crime.
Nowadays bandits use a sandbay or a piece of gas pipe
as effectively as they do guns.”
There is a good deal of sense in the judge’s remarks.
The youngster who is going to turn out to be a bad egg
needs something more than a 10-cent store pistol to set
his feet in the path of crime.
CARELESSNESS CAUSES FIRE
Muncie, Ind., Press.
The fire loss for the first seven months of 1936 is
over $20,000,000 in excess of the same period in 1935
in the United States.
It is possible that higher values are, to an extent,
responsible for the increase. But human carelessness,
human indifference and human ignorance are an infin
itely more important factor. The American people
show a criminal disregard of the hazards responsible
for the fires that destroy hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth of property each year—and many lives.
No other country in the world suffers a fire loss
as great as this country. In many European countries
the person responsible for fire must pay for any dam
age the blaze does to his neighbor’s property.
It would send our fire loss into a tailspin if our
citizens adopted the attitude of mind that the European
law represents. Every citizen should realize that it
is a crime against society—even if it is not listed in the
law books—to permit fire hazards to go uncorrected
and to take the chances that lead to fire. And every
citizen should likewise understand that practical fire
prevention requires little effort and little money.
Don’t be an “unconscious arsonist”—a term that
can be justly applied to anyone who neglects fire haz
ards on his property or doesn’t trouble to unearth them.
Fire prevention is up to ‘every one of us—and if we all
accept the responsibility 80 percent of fires can be elim
inated.
