THEIR PROTECTION IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY
Back to school days are with us again, and
this means that our public streets and highways
will be lined with such valuable assets as the
little boy shown at the left.
Sure, they’re going to be careful in crossing
streets and highways on the route to and from
school, but they are going to need the advice and
help of every parent and motor vehicle operator
if they are to remain 'accident free’ during the
next nine inonths.
Children should be continually cautioned about
their personal safety, and the part it will play in
their chance to live and have fun their
chance to grow up and become men and women.
Operators of motor vehicles can play an all-
important part in protecting these youngsters, and
seting that they do grow up to be men and
women .... that their chances to live and have
fun are not marred by some thoughtless speed
merchant that they receive the same con
sideration that each driver would wish his own
child to receive.
During 1947 there were 2,350 children between
the ages of 5 and 14, whose lives were snuffed
out by traffic accidents. In addition to this alarm
ing number of fatalities, there were 125,000 in
this age group who were injured.
It behooves each of us to accept our respon
sibility in protecting these youngsters, and to
drive with care, caution, and common sense.
