It needn't happen

Australia, 1959

Film
It needn't happen thumbnail image.

Warns against accidents to small children in the home through the example of a little girl, the accidents that might have happened and how they could be prevented. Boiling water, medicine and sharp objects left within reach of the child, and over-boisterous games are all potentially dangerous.
