Each year approxi- mately 700 children under the age of 5 are killed while riding in passenger vehicles. Forty thousand more are seriously injured. The tragedy is that most of those deaths and iiyuries could be avoided if parents would take the time to buckle their children into a proper child safety seat. Sonriie parents think they can protect infants and young children from being injured by holding them in their laps. They cannot. In a 30 mph crash, for example, a child may be thrown for- ward with a force equal to 30 times its own weight.

HOLDING YOUR CHILD IN YOUR LAP IS NOT SAFE. Whether adults do or do not use safety belts available in cars is a conscious choice. Small children cannot decide for themselves to buckle up. They depend on their parents to protect them from harm, and make that decision for them. Residents seeking addi- tional information on child safety seats can pick up. a copy of the Nassau County booklet \Child Safety Seats For Your Automobile,\ at Lynbrook Village Hall. In addition, residents are reminded that effective December 1, 1984 drivers and passengers must wear safety belts while traveling. notified by mail of the final nominee as soon as he is chosen.

Cocktail Party Date Changed The East Rockaway Action Party's Annual Cocktail Party will be held on Sunday, January 13, 1985 rather than on Sunday, January 20, as had been reported in an E.R.A.
