PLEASE BE WISE
DON'T BE A SURPRISE
DON'T DRIVE WILD —
HELP PROTECT A CHILD.
WITH SO MANY CHILDREN CROSSING THE
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS the motorist must
be extra careful and alert in observing school
zones and sate driving practices.
1. Be prepared for the unexpected. A child may
suddenly dash into the street from a play
area.
2. Be sure to familiarize yourself with and oh-
-serve school zone times and reduced speed
limits in effect.
3. Give yourself an even greater margin for
safety in rainy weather when strc'ots arc
slick.
4. Be especially carelul for children hurrying
to board or depart from a school bus.
5. Watch out for the increasing number of cycl
ists who will be traveling to and from school.
LITTER CO.STS YOUR t AMII.Y ABOUT TWENTY
DOLLARS A YEAR, according to a recent study. TTie
cost of picking up litter from parks, highways, and streets
comes to about 32 cents per item — or an annual total
of nearly one billion dollars. And every taxpayer shares
in the expense.
Who is responsible? Travelers, picknickers, passers-by
— people who don't think before they throw. Who pays?
Everybody. What can you do? Keep a litter bag in your
car. Put trash in garbage cans, where it belongs. And teach
your children to do the same.
Just think of all the more important things that twenty
dollars could do.
THE CASE OF THE MISS-
SING PHONE NU.MBER . ..
One child who wanted to re
member a phone number pain
ted it on the shell of his pet
turtle. An ingenious idea. Un
fortunately, though, it didn’t
work. The turtle escaped, tak
ing the phone number wiiii it.
There arc lots of v cry crea
tive ways to keep phone num
bers handy. But the best way
we know is to keep a list near
the phone. ^
