A prolonged drought this summer has caused severe short ages of pasture grazing. With opening of school less than a month away, it is time for pa rents and students to be prepar ing for the various problems that school brings up for youngsters— not least of which is safety. Safety for the school child in cludes walking or riding bicycles to and from schools, as well as safe operation of school busses and proper behavior of students in or around busses, to avoid ac cidents of all kinds. O. D. Griffin of Southern Pines, field representative of the High way Safety Division of the State Motor Vehicles Department, has compiled a “Safe Transportation Guide” that is distributed to all school officials and bus drivers, as well as to other interested per sons. . i As a public service, The Pilot will publish, prior to opening of schools, portions of this guide having the most general interest. Today’s exerpt from the guide deals with safety for children who are walking to and from school, riding bicycles or who are brought to school in cars. The section from “Safe Tran- 111/.

RtHTMCM „ Students walking to or from school, where no sidewalks are available, should walk on the left side of'the street or highway, on the shoulders of the road-bed, in order to be alert for oncoming traffic. Pedestrians on streets and highways must yield to motor ve hicles except at cross-walks and intersections where traffic signals or police are present to assist in crossing the street. Patrols assist students to cross but are not traf fic policemen and should not act as such. While waiting for school bus Or other means of transportation, children should stay in a safe place off the road. Playing in the street or high way should not be permitted at any time, whether waiting for bus, no not. The safest route to and from school should be worked out with each child, and proper precau tions taken that this route is fol lowed at all times, unless express permission is granted for any de viation. Care shpuld be taken that any crossing of streets will be made at protected crossings, or that proper safe-guards are taken at any other crossings where traffic signals, police or patrol members are not used. Hitch-hiking by children, to or from school, should net be allow ed. Bicycle Safety Bicycle riders must observe the same rules when riding on the streets or highways as motor vehicles. Hand signals must be given when turning or stopping. All laws and rules of the road apply to bicycles when operating on streets or highways, except where they would not apply since it is not a motor vehicle. Bicy cles shall be ridden in single file on the right side of the road. Bicycles are made to carry one person. Carrying another person on your bicycle throws it out of balance and makes it either diffi cult to steer or see (depending on where the extra rid6r is car ried) and makes the operation of the bicycle unsafe. Hitching rides, by hanging on to other vehicles, is a dangerous practice and results in many acci dents. Showing off, weaving back and forth across the road, riding with out touching the handlebars are all bad practices and result in serious accidents. If you must demonstrate your skill, do so in a protected area, such as a park. empty school ground, play area, or your own yard. Keeping your bicycle in good working order-adds to your pleas ure and safety. When ridden at night, bicycles should be equipped with a light on front, and a reflector or light on the rear fender. Until such time as the bicycle rider knows and understands his or her responsibility in riding a bicycle on a public road, the rider should ride in a protected area, away from danger, until such re sponsibility and understanding is gained. Bicycles should be parked in racks on the school grounds, un less other arrangements for park ing them has been made by school authorities. Enrollment in the North Caro lina Highway Safety Division’s Bicycle Safety Club is urged for all bicycle riders. Parents, teachers, or patrons oi the school should show by ex ample the courtesy and aspects of good driving that will be ben eficial to students in the school. Children In Cars Cars bringing children to school should unload on side of road nearest school to preclude any accident to a child who- might have to cross the road or street otherwise. If a regular driveway is in use for patrons of the school for loading and unloading, it should be used in such a manner as to avoid confusion, congestion, or danger to the children attend ing the school. Where busses have to use the same driveway, it will be only the proper and courteous thing to allow the busses to load first and not hamper the move ment of the' busses in any man ner, since they carry many more children than you do. If you carry your child or chil dren or others to school each day, specific instructions as to meeting place or places, depending on weather, should be given them. Being on time is a desirable qual ity and avoids confusion and mis understanding by all. Work out any problems you may have with your principal or teacher of your child as regards his or her getting to and from school.
