Tense by putting several character
witnesses on the stand. This pro-

angle.

SCHOOL TIME IS
NEAR, MOTORISTS
MUST TAKE CARE

4 With the opening of school for
the fall term, tens Of thousands of
youngsters, many of them just
starting their school life, 4 will be
fiocking to the streets, and the dam
ger Of accident; automatically VIII
oe increased many fold over the
vacation period.
Motorists are cautioned to watch
carefully because Of this new in
flux Of child jay walkers. The pub
lie safety department of the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California
is reminding motorists of this fact
and urging that they recall safety
suggestions of the past, especially
not encouraging the youngsters to
frequent the streets by giving them
free rides.
Many of the children have been
playing in the open spaces during
the summer and are very apt to
forget to "Stop, Look and Listen y
before going into the street in pur-
suit of the elusive ball or in the
excitement of a game of tag. Eve
ry ice-wagon, sand pile or pile of
building material serves as mag
net to the children and they may be
expected to dart out in the most un-
expected manner in the neighbor-
hood of such locations.
The auto club says:
When approaching children do not
be afraid to use horn, but do not
depend upon it to blow the children
off the street and replace your
brake.
IF you see children trying to
cross Ahe street, give them a chance
and wait for them, as you would
like to have another motorist wait
for some one WHO is near and dear
to you.
With the observance of these sug-
gestions it is hoped to reduce the
unnecessary loss of life among chill
dren during the coming year.
