The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-10-04
|DON'TS FOR
CARNIVAL WEEK
Avoid Accidents at the
Blackfoot Round Up,
and Festival.



Don't park your car on the east
side of the block in front of the City
Hall. The firemen need that space
for the rush when the fire bell rings.
Don't drive about in the crowded
parts of town unless it is necessary.
Go afoot.
II you drive thru the crowded
streets, keep your machine on low
gear or intermediate, so you will
have perfect control. Drive quietly,
and have an eye for the car behind
as well as the one ahead and the one
that may back out of the parking in
front of you. Also for the person
who may step out of the parking in
front of your moving car. Play safe
for all.
If you can't lock your car, carry a
chain and paddock to chain wheel
or wheels. 1t is easy Avoid leaving
goods and wraps in the car unless
locked in so they cannot be picked
up.
If your car disappears, don't as
sumo that somebody has taken it for
a josh. Report to the City Hall
phone 146, or the sheriff's office
phone sos and be quick about it.
While you are fooling around, your
car may be driven past the sentry
up or down the line before he can
be notified by wire. Have your
license number and engine number
in your pocket SO you can reach 1t
in a minute. 1t is easy to recover
stolen car when people act quickly.
If your extra tire is exposed, see
If you can chain and lock it, and
don't forget that light locks can be
cut with nippers.
1t will not be possible to get all
cars into garages. There will be
acres of cars that will have to stand
outside, but the officers do not in
tend that any of them shall be lost.
For Team Owners
If you leave your team tied to the
vehicle. remember there are chances
for horse to get tangled in the
brake, the seat, the standards, the
end-gate rod and many other places.
If tied to wheel the wheel may
roll and tie the horse down so he
gets in trouble. Take every precau

comfortable. If the youngsters go
to town advise them about all these
matters, for they are apt to hitch the
team in hurry and rush off without
taking ordinary precautions. In
struct them that if they need an Of
ficer they should apply to the City
Hall or the sheriff's office or to an
officer on the street wearing a star
on the breast.
For FOotmen
Don't stand in the street to talk.
Get out of danger.
Don't walk three or four abreast
and crowd everybody else off of the
walk.
Don't stand in groups on the walk
SO others cannot get by. When you
stop to chat with friends, step to the
curb, the edge of the walk or to the
wall and line up so you will leave
as much of the walk clear as you can.
Try all the time to keep lane open
along the walk, and observe the rule
about keeping to the right. If all
do that, it is easy to get thru any
kind of jam.
Make room for the woman with
children. Make room for the baby
carriage. Don't rubber" over your
shoulder and fall over a baby car
riage. Look where you are going.
Have good time, but don hurt any
one.
Don't worry about somebody pick
ing your pocket. Just keep your
money in two or three reasonably
safe pockets and forget about it. If
you. are afraid of somebody stealing
your watch, leave it at home. You
will not need it much anyhow. If
you are afraid Of somebody picking
off your jewelry, leave the jewelry
at home. You are out for fun, not
risks.
If you have to go about the trains,
be careful all the time and watch
for two trains, where there seems
to be only one. If you have to walk
along the railroad tracks, keep out
side not between the rails.
II anyone gets hurt, go to the City
Hall for first aid. Materials will be
| ready there for ordinary treatment
of injuries.
II anyone gets lost, 60 to the City
Hall and wait. 1t is the grey brick
building near the carnival shows
with tower. II you are hunting
somebody that's lost, look at the
City Hall, and leave message on
the table. There will be writing ma
terials there.
If you miss your engagement with
somebody and want to get together
again, or tell where you are going,
go to the City Hall and leave a mess
age on the table. Somebody will be
on duty there acting as "informa-
tion."
II you find anything, take it to the
City hall. If you lose anything, look
for it at the City, Hall and leave a
message claiming 1t If it comes in.
II you want to get bed and the
hotels are full, ask them to send you
to some private house. They will
