As children have more time
for recreation, summer work
and just “messing around,” the
chances of an accident in-
crease.
But parents can do several
simple things to reduce the
summertime dangers to their
children.
If young people are told
how to spot and avoid situa-
tions in which accidents are
likely to occur, and are re-
stricted from dangerous activi-
ties, the have a better chance
of avoiding a tragic accident.

hicles.

serious accidents is riding in
the back of pickups, on trail-
ers or tractors. There will be
