had been satisfactory received a GER
tificate of service. The work of the
schoolboy safety patrols. to which any

ercises with a short talk on the mean
Ing Of the patrols and the opportunity
offered them for civic service. Robert L:
Haycock, assistant superintendent OF

members for the fulfillment OF their
duty and declared that while 1t is an
honor to render service it is still
greater one to be specially signaled out

the American Automobile Association,
delivered a short talk on the important
nature Of the work performed and

that on one occasion its members had
halted the cars of Maj. Pratt, super
