The April meeting of the Gardiner
Teachers association was
held Thursday evening in the audi
forum of the High school. DIR. Car
roll l.. Church at the opening of the
meeting told of the opening of the
Dental Clinic for school children. A
room has been fitted up in the old
High school building for this purpose
and the necessary appliances in
stalled. This school dental clinic is
one of the first, il not the first in the
State. The various dentists of the
city will be in attendance, and SER
vices given school children under IA
years of age. The attendant expense
Will be but slight. DR.. Hutchings Of
the State department of health
opened his address by congratulate
ing Gardiner on the progress being
made along health lines. The doc
tor emphasized the Importance of
the prevention of disease made by
Industrial concerns and the same
prevention should be exercised in
matters of health as well as from
accident. The matter of tonsis is
another thing that needs attention.
He referred to the spread of con-
tagious diseases and remarked that
Gardiner had been quite free from
them thus far. Vaccination properly
done, he commended. also protection
against diphtheria, Group. measles,
scarlet fever and all childish diseases
are preventable and some cities not
ably Detroit. Mich. send school chill
dren home at the first sign of cold,
and as a result this city has not had
an epidemic for five years.
One prolific source Of disease is
the milk supply and this should be
carefully guarded. Another source
Of trouble is the laXity Of physicians
in reporting suspicious cases. The
speaker wentainto some detail re-
garding the milk supply and the
danger in a supply that is below
standard or unclean. After the adj
dress opportunity for questions was
given and a social hour enjoyed,
during which light refreshments
were served.

Maria Clark School
Forms Unique Club
for Bicycle Safety

/ The young people of Maria Clark
! Clark Grammar school. under the
/ leadership of Principal Bigelow, have
! inaugurated movement that other
towns might well copy.
] For the last week pedestrians and
/ the drivers of motor vehicles have
been annoyed and perplexed by a
swarm of bicycle riders. This con-
iition eliminated Saturday in two
accidents, fortunately not serious.
Realizing that something must be
done about the matter. and realizing
also that any movement to check or
regulate this bicycle riding must, if
it were to prove successful, come
from the youngsters themselves,
Principal Oscar Bigelow called q
! meeting of the young people of his
school who were directly Interested
in riding to discuss the matter.
The result of this discussion was
,lle formation of a club, THE Safety
First Bicycle Club" This club has
20 members and will probably reach
at least 50.
The president is Milton Ballard !;
vice president, John Lister: secre-
| tary, Margaret Graves. There are
! five traffic officers to enforce the
! rules of the club: Hector Lerete,
| Frances Wingate. John Arata, Ar
mold Dufrensne, and Robert Dawes.
/ The members of the club drew up
a set of rules for their guidance that
deserve wide publicity for they are
the work of the boys and girls them
xi,z,, l.
and are practical and commonsense
in the extreme. They are:
Don't ride bicycle on sidewalks.
Don't coast bicycles down cross
streets without coaster brake and
using caution.
3-Don't ride bicycles with hands
off the handle bars.
don't ride bicycles down hill
with feet off the pedals.
5-Don't ride bicycles abreast any
moving vehicle With hands on the
same.
6-Don't ride or carry anybody on
the handle bars of a bicycle.
Don't ride without horn, bell, or
lights
! S-Don't fail to observe all traffic
laws about stopping on streets or
turning into side streets.
Don't speed up and down the
main thoroughfare on Water street.
10-Don't fail TO get on one side
and keep there on country roads, so
Tat the drivers Of approaching autos
may know where to find YOU when
they pass.
These sensible and practical rules
arc not simply to adorn the secre-
tary's new book. They are to be
strictly enforced by the traffic OFF,
GERS and will be further dealt with, if
1t should prove necessary.
\ Beside the practical value of safety
they will be a boon to the poor pc
/ destrian and the bewildcred automo-
| bilist. This experiment is an excel
lent lesson in citizenship. Mr.. Bige-
low is to be congratulated upon the
| spirit of his school.
