fcl c=o Industrial Hygiene Digest July, 1965 of both civilian accidental exposures and military casualties. The treatment includes atroDir.e oximes, and various types of artificial respiration. Symptoms in both mild and severe cases are illustrated, and the mechanism of action of cholinesterase inhibition is animated. The role of clinical studies in arriving at therapeutic regimens is also explained. This film is wei: done and accurate. The research that goes into the treatment of organic poisoning is stressed considerably more than the diagnosis and actual treatment. J. Am. Med. Assn. 192. 265 (April 19, 1965) 621 Dangerous Fireworks. George P. Larrick, Commissioner of Food and Drugs, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, recently warned parents and retail dealers across the country to be on the lookout for a new kind of fireworks which can be dangerous to children in an unusual way. Several injuries to children have been reported. The fireworks, having the appearance of small colored candy balls, sometimes marketed under the name "Cracker Balls", may easily be mistaken for candy and some children in Ohio and the District of Columbia were re cently injured when they bit into them. Commissioner Larrick said FDA inspectors are on the lookout for these novelty items with a view toward legal action unless they are labeled to meet all requirements of the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act. He questions, however, whether any labeling can be devised which would make these products free from the danger of being mistaken for candy. Commissioner Larrick added that any stocks which can be shown to be in violation of the Federal labeling law will be removed from the market under the seizure provisions of that statute. Samples obtained thus far are imports from Japan. -- U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare News Release (May 28, 1965) COMING EVENTS 622 Aug.1-8 Aug. 2-13 Aug. 4-7 Aug. 6-8 Aug.9-12 Aug.11-13 Aug.15-20 Aug.16-20 Aug. 22 Aug.22-27 Aug.22-27 Aug.22-27 Aug.23-25 Aug.23-26 Aug. 29-Sept. 2 Aug. 30-Sept. 1 Aug. 30.Sept. 2 Aug. 30-Sept. 2 Aug. 30-Sept. 3 9th Latin American Chemical Congress, San Juan, P.R.
