"SCHOOL-DRIVE SLOWLY

Attention of automobile drivers is called to the
fact that schools will reopen in Ell Centre Mon
Gay, and IN line with the recent suggestion OF Frank
O. Shook chief of the motor vehicle division, they
urged to be careful in driving past schools
During the summer with schools closed, the
ing signs as approach schools, dsregardcd,
as they not needed. This is likely 10 form habit
which the motorist will find it rather difficult to
break unless he gives it little premature thought
No matter how carefully one drives in the vicIn-
lty of school, there is always danger of serious
accident Children children and it is natural for
them to run before they look The burden of protect
ing them rests with the driver and with the
children the school authorities.
The latter do all in their power to prevent the
youngsters from taking needless risks and nstil in
them the necessity for being careful when going to and
from school.
Every person who drives has horror of hit
ting youngster. Those who have been unfortunate
enough to do so, even though they themselves
bameless, cannot help but reproach themselves. 1t
is much better to slowly and carefully past schools
than to carry for years, possibly the thought that
some youngster has been permanently injured killed
through neglect to be careful.
This city has been fortunate in having minimum
number of such tragedies 1t is not too early to start
recalling the warning sign chool-Drive Slowly.

1t helps considerably merely to substitute pontoons

Crooks rolls along its way to Baltimore this month
coal will be the fuel This venerable train will travel

railroad, William can do that easily
Well, the passage of such a vehicle ought to be

reasons. Then it wonder because it the first
