lAttention parents: It is
surprising how many parents
! assume that other people are
'going to- be responsible for
safe guarding their children.
Policemen, Firemen,
Teachers, etc. are willing to
help, but they have to
operate on the basis that the
children coming within their
purview have been given
training and guidance by their
legal guardian or parents.
Now that School has opened
again parental care is doubly
essential. You cannot assume
"that some one else Is going to
do your job for you. Please
be willing to help save our
