HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
1-1 WHEREAS, On May 20, 1997, health care professionals and
1-2 concerned Texans from around the state will be in Austin to
1-3 celebrate Think Child Safety Day at the State Capitol; part of
1-4 Emergency Medical Services Week, this occasion furnishes an ideal
1-5 opportunity to inform a wider public about the Think Child Safety
1-6 program; and
1-7 WHEREAS, Created by Paris/Lamar County paramedics, this
1-8 worthwhile program is designed to increase public awareness of
1-9 injury prevention safeguards through a number of innovative means;
1-10 and
1-11 WHEREAS, One of the program's most effective techniques is
1-12 that of training high school students as safety educators; after
1-13 receiving instruction in injury prevention from health care
1-14 professionals, the students themselves team up with paramedics,
1-15 firefighters, and law enforcement officers to make presentations in
1-16 elementary schools; and
1-17 WHEREAS, By involving students more directly in the
1-18 educational process, this ingenious approach instills the
1-19 principles of injury prevention in children at a young age even as
1-20 their older counterparts gain valuable experience in community
1-21 interaction; and
1-22 WHEREAS, Children are the Lone Star State's most precious
1-23 natural resource, and the dedicated volunteers and sponsors who
1-24 have given freely of their time, talent, and resources to the Think
2-1 Child Safety program are indeed deserving of every Texan's deepest
2-2 respect and gratitude; now, therefore, be it
2-3 RESOLVED, That the 75th Legislature of the State of Texas
2-4 hereby designate May 20, 1997, as Think Child Safety Day at the
2-5 State Capitol and extend sincere best wishes to all those
2-6 associated with this program for continued success in the future.
