Bill Backs Split District

TRENTON — A measure sponsored by Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani that would allow Middle Township to make a change in its alignment of fire districts recently won assembly approval by a vote of 72-0. The bill, A-1919, would allow the township to divide Fire District No. 1, the township's largest fire district, into two separate districts. "This area has grown in population to a point which makes it difficult for the

fire department to adequately respond to the number of emergency calls it receives." said Muziani, R-Cape May, Cumberland. "The easiest and best solution to this problem is to divide the district in two." Current law does not provide for the division of a fire district, Muziani said. Special elections would be held to elect commissioners of the new fire district. Fire District No. 4. The measure now heads to the senate for consideration.

Use Care Choosing Child Safety Seat

CAPE MAY - Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for children, but child safety seats are estimated to be up to 90 percent effective in preventing fatalities and injuries if used correctly. The Cape May Police Department, active in the National Safety Council's "Make It Click - Buckle Up" campaign in New Jersey, says parents should be careful in their selection of safety seats. The New Jersey State Safety Council suggests to consider the following when choosing a child safety seat: LOOK FOR a seat that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, which indicates that the seat has been crash tested. Seats manufactured after Jan. 1. 1986, must meet this standard. The best car seat is one in which your child will be most comfortable. Children travel better behaved in safety seats because they can see out the windows and feel more secure. Make sure the safety seat you choose is appropriate for your car. The safest place for all safety seats is the back of the car. If you can't install the seat according to the manufacturer's instructions, return it and get a different model. CHILD SAFETY seats are available at a wide range of prices. Shop around to get the best buy. If you can't afford a seat, there may be ? rental program in your community. After you have obtained a safety seat, make sure to use it according to the manufacturer's instructions. The seat should be properly anchored so it will remain in place in an accident or sudden stop. The state Safety Council reminds parents that different child safety seats are appropriate for children at different ages. Be aware for the following recommendations if your child is in one of the following age categories: BIRTH TO 9 months: Starting with the first ride home from the hospital, infants, need protection that an adult s arms cannot give. Infant carriers are available which allow the baby to ride backwards in a semiI reclined position. This position allows the baby's strong back to absorb the forces of a crash or a sudden stop. A harness built into the carrier holds the child while the car's safety belt secures the carrier. Nine- 12 months to 4 years old (or 40 pounds): When your child is able to sit up without support, it is ready for a toddler seat. The seat faces forward and is anchored by the vehicle's lap belt. It will have a safety harness with two shoulder straps, a lap belt, and a crotch strap. THIS FIVE-POINT harness system will spread crash forces over the child's shoulders and hip6. Some models have partical shields as well.

Booster seats are also available, preferably for children ages 3 to 6 who outgrow other restraint systems. The purpose of a booster seat is to raise the child high enough so that the hap belt fits snugly across the hips and not across the stomatch. If you use a booster seat, it's very important that you use both a harness system (if provided with seat) and your car's lap belt.
