SUPERINTENDENT SHlBLEY FEARS
FOR LIVES OF STUDENTS ASAUT0
TRAFFIC BY SCHOOL INCREASES

motor traffic in Imperial Valley
was not great.
Il would venture to say that
more automobiles pass Wilson
school in three hours now than we're
owned in the valley ten wears ago. -
Superintendent Slibyy remarked.
1.-The school is also on the main
entrance to the town for outside
motorists. The location is becoming
more and more dangerous. - he
continued.
Need of New Site
The erection of II school building
i'll another part of the city is com
sidercd by Superintendent Shiblcv
to be the eventual solution of the
problem.
TO eliminate the danger of BOYS
and girls running out into the
street IL pursuit of balls during the
course of their games, the school
is at present erecting lfoot wire
backstop across the girl s play
ground. y similar high fence
will be put up on the boys SIDE ut
once. Tie children are also re-
peatediv warned bv the school au-
thoritieS, but in view of the many
adult pedestrians who are careless,
Mr.. Shibley feels that they should
not be undulv criticized by their
elders if they are sometimes bit
needless.
Imperial Valley press., 1925-12-07

Sometime before long, child
will be killed in front of the vii
son school. don't know whose
child it VIII be-. This startling
prediction was made today to Il
Press representative by City Super
intendcnt A. 2. Shibley.
Traffic conditions about the
school are becoming alarming.
superintendent Shiblev continued.
1.-The school authorities will, DO
everything possible to avert acci-
dents. but they are almost newt
able.
\ check of passing automobiles
made OH Main street in front of
the school at 3 o'clock in the after
noon when traffic is ut a minimum,
showed an average of five ears pass,
ing per minute.
Superintendent Shiblev estimates
that about one third of the pupils
at Wilson come to school on bicy-
cles. The logical entrance to the
school for practically all of them is
the Main street entrance.
Traffic Is Doubled
Since the buildir of the court
house last year, the traffic has al
most doubled in the vicinity of the
school house. Built in 1915, the
Wilson school was in a locality
where traffic dangers were of minor
consideration. And ten years ago

be added to the already lengthy list,
are pretty Doris Hudson and Andrew
Royce. They stole away Sunday eve

they were quietly married, without
ever taking the brides mother into
their confidence. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Margetts of Laramie attend

lucrative appointment. This young
couple had just become nicely set
tied in their home, had put in a fine
lawn and garden, which they will
have to bequeath to some lucky sue
cessor. However as the Buffers are
not to be transferred no doubt the
Sholls will be frequent visitors to
the family hearth, so we will not
lose them entirely.

"Mirandy's Minstrels" at the opera
house, is busy rehearsing several
new musical numbers to add to the

the performance was, that the chorus
did not sing enough. Two very love
