Many Children
Will Face
Campaign Of Safety Can Save |
Lives By Reducing
Accidents
Does it mean anything at all to
us here to learn that during last
year 4,100 children were killed by
motor vehicles? With an increase
of six per cent in traffic deaths re
corded for the first four months of
this year, surely something should
be done to curb this terrific toll.
In a few weeks, children will be
starting back to school. This means
that at certain times during the
day, crowds of children will be on
the sidewalks, the streets and the
country roads, going to and from
school. This increases the hazard
and, therefore, it is timely that this
matter be discussed and any plans
made that have to do with making
these children safer.
We realize that drivers of motor
vehicles are not always at fault in
these fatal accidents. The children
themselves, lacking in judgment,
often dart out from behind parked
automobiles into the paths of on
coming vehicles. They do other just
as foolish things which often result
fatally.
We believe that a campaign
should be conducted in every school
elementary scnoW^^l^^" ■M*-*.

yfe would suggest to those in
charge of or especially interested
in schools of the State, that
they secure information about
these posters from The National
Safety Council, Civic Opera Build
ing, 20 North Wacker Drive, Chi
cago. 111. The sooner action is tak
en the better. One child saved from
injury or death would make
trouble more than worthwhile.
