IN AN INFORMATION sheet sent out to police, Snedeker points out that nearly 800 child passengers under 5 die each year in automobile accidents and 50-70,000 are injured nationally. Researchers estimate that about 90 percent of the fatalities and 70 percent of all injuries could be prevented with proper use of a safe child restratint, he

More children die in motor vehicle accidents than from all the so-called "childhood diseases” combined, the fact sheet says. Snedeker appeals to parents to obtain ' child restraints and to use them properly, according to the

of Avalon.

The Star of Cape May is protected by copyright registered in 1982. Being copyrighted also are printed instructions and an elaborate system of visual aids developed by Mrs. Heyneker for a basic quilting course taught by her at the Crazy Quilt
