This year as the past there will be burned ingers from exploding powder and jerhaps even more serious injuries rom higher powered fireworks. The police department urges par- nts to be especially watchful of hildren setting off fireworks in he city limits, as it is against the rdinances of the city.

Extreme caution should be exercised in setting off fireworks, and young persons should be under the supervision of adults when celebrating the fourth. A moment of carelessness on the part of a parent or child could result in permanent injury.

"We hope that everyone will cele- irate the fourth of July, but let us lo so in a safe manner. Observe he city ordinances, be extremely careful when setting off fire works, and lets all make this fourth of uly, the safest yet," said Dusen- erry.
