Police Chief Warns Parents Of Child Accident Dangers Child accidents go up 60 per cent in June, July and August, Beaufort Police Chief M. E. Guy pointed out in a statement issued today urging motorists to use extra caution during the summer months. In North Carolina last year a to tal of 841 children, age 4 to 19 j years, were injured and 89, age 4 to j 19 years were killed in pedestrian j accidents. Parents have a vital need to assume more responsibility for their children, Chief Guy said. Last year one child was killed in Beaufort and four were struck by cars. The summer months with more hours for play and increased traf fic are . the most dangerous for child pedestrians. Child accidents go up 60 per cent or more ia Junaj' July and August. More startling too, is that the week day hours of from 5 to 9 are the most dangerous for child n VOTE FOR WILLIAM J.

Motorists too must reduce speed when they see children near the street. About one-third of the children killed or injured in traf fic accidents last year were play* ing in the street? to say nothing of those who died while crossing between intersections or who dart ed from behind a parked car sud denly into the path of an approach ing car. Parents certainly have their work cut out for them when school is out? in the evening the danger hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. and the vacation months of June, July, August trr the months when child pedestrian accidents normally reach their peak. Parents should realize that there arc no school patrols or crossing guards to protect their children during these periods. Thus the parents should make safe walking habits their habits: 1. No matter where or when they cross a street they should stop at the curb and look both ways keeping in mind while they walk the first 12 feet from the curb, a car at 30 m.p.h travels 132 feet to ward you. Help your child to rea lize just hoW suddenly a car can be upon him. Teach him to wait for the car to pass and for a break in traffic before he crosses a street. 2. Cross only at intersections, then watch for turning ears and keep watching at all times. 3. Instruct a child to never run into a street. 4. Never enter a street from be tween parked cars. 5. Parents, always keep in mind the loss of visibility caused by darkness and always be more care ful crossing a street at night than in daytime as the driver cannot see you. Wait until there is a break in traffic before crossing and once again ? don't send children on er rands at night. The final thought for parents might be, get out of your car on the curb side, as the temptation for a mid-block crossing la cut down and it is dangerous to lekve it on the roadway aide.
