School Patrols
Prove Worth
State Highway Department Urges
Increased Use of School Student
Patrol Plan

All schools of Minnesota, both
town and country, which are at
tended by young children are to be
urged to adopt and use the school
student patrol plan to help reduce
accidents, state highway bulletin
announces.
The one bright spot in the traffic
accident situation, the bulletin
states, is the reductions that are
being made in the number of chill
dren killed and injured, and a sur
vey by the National Safety Council
indicates that these reductions have
been the more pronounced where
school student patrols are regular
ly in operation.
Not only do the patrols afford ac-
tual protection to the children while
on their way to and from school
but it is being clearly demonstrated
the bulletin points out, that the for
nation and operation of the patrols
effectively impresses children with
the need for care when away from
the schools as well as when near
them.
The State Highway department,
after conferences with representa-
tives of several cities where school
patrols have been in operation for
some time, and with other inter
ested organizations, has undertake
en- the compilation of a plan for the
uniform operation of patrols so
that motorists will not be confused
by variations in different commune
ties, and for the purpose Of simpli-
flying the formation of patrols
where they have not before been US
ed.
In a letter to school police officers
throughout the state, Earle Brown,
chief highway patrol officers, urges
support of the school student patrol
plan to "help make Minnesota's
showing Of school children accident
reduction compare favorably with,
or surpass, any other state" and Of
fers fullest possible cooperation of
the state highway patrol.
Officials of the state department
Of the American Legion have Of
fered the services Of that organiza-
ton toward providing adult super
vision for school patrols where the
services Of regular police officers
are not available, the bulletin
states.

Patrol Activities
Greatly Increased
Arrests, Tags, Warnings Run Into
Big Figures-Should Be Fewer,
| Chief Says

Progress in wedding out drunken
and reckless drivers, correcting
faulty equipment, and educating
drivers in the traffic laws, is shown
by the report on the work Of the
State Highway Patrol for June,
made by Chief Earle Brown to G.
M. Babcock, commissioner OF high
ways.
June was the first month the en-
larged patrol of seventy men was
on duty. The increased force, COM
bined with the increased summer
traffic, resulted in large increase
in activities. Arrests for drunken
driving increased from SO in May
to 137 in June, while arrests for all
causes increased from 284 to 439
Fines imposed increased from S.
491 to $S,661. Receipts from motor
vehicle license corrections incras-
ed from $1,3O2 to $7781. The num-
Der of cars taken in custody In
creased from 127 to 180. Tags call
ing for auto license corrections in
creased from 455 in May to 1850 in
June. Tags for ;llegal equipment
increased from 2,S47 in May to 7,5O6
in June. Warnings for violations
of the traffic act, not serious enough
to warrant arrest, increased from
1,O92 to 4,478. Directions and aid
given motorists increased from ST.
to 13,343.
The most frequent class of illeg-
al equipment was no rear light,
which brought 3,O40 tags. Next came
one head light, 1.759; glazing or IL
legal lights or lights out of ad-
iustment 1,071; license obscured
64S; no clearance lights, 313.
The most common errors which
brought warnings included improp-
er parking, 1888; driving in wrong
lane, $40, going through stop sign,
679: speed in congested area, 1858.
although the report for the
month shows a greatly increased
number of arrests, tags and warn
ings, we are not boasting about
these figures" Earle Brown, chief
parol officer, said. "The aim of the
patrol is to keep traffic moving
safely. and arrests are made. and
tags and warnings issued. only as
a means of stopping or reducing
the driving errors which lead to ac-
cidents. If motorists will cooper
ate by studying the traffic act and
observing it's provisions, 1t VIII
make the figures in our monthly
reports smaller, and what is more
important, it will prevent accidents
Copies of the traffic act, with the
1881 amendments, may be obtained
from this office or from any patrol
man."

Melrose Here Next Sunday

Next Sunday the fast Melrose
club will cross bats with the Sank
Centre team at the fair grounds in
this city. Games between these two
teams have always been very good
ones and this next one should prove
to be a thriller. Melrose wants to get
out of the zero class and the play
ers of that city believe they can do
it when they come to Sank Centre.
The game will be called at 2:30
This is the last regular home game
of the league season.
Sank Centre 4; Browerville 0
Last Sunday Sank Centre journ-
eyed to Browerville and BANKED
that team by the score of 4 to o
Sank Centre players played some
great baseball and had Browerville
at their mercy during all stages Of
the game.
Soltau pitched a high class brand
Of ball, probably the best game he
has thrown this year. The Brow
erville lads could get nowhere with
the slants he fed to them. Brow
erville has a hard fighting ball
team, among their recent victories
being a game with Long Prairie,
which they won Is to 1.
Every Sank Centre man played
alright ball, only one error being
made during the game. Charlie
Klar, one of the veterans of the
local team, was the hitting ace Of
the day, getting three safe hits out
of four trips to the plate. Dahlem
handled 16 chances at first base
without an error and Olsen at
short had only one error out OF
eight chances.
Browerville threatened to score
few times during the game, espec-
tally during the first and fourth in
nings when they received two sue
cessive hits. However, theyy could
get no further than third base.
Sank Centre started right off the
hat with a run in the first inning,
when Courtney hit nice two bag
ger. Olsen was out second to first,
Iwinski famed, and Otto Paul
came through with a hit scoring
Courtney, Hopkins struck out to
end the inning.
Sank Centre could not score again
until the seventh inning when Klar
led off with a two Dagger, Soltau
was out pitcher to first, Courtney
was out second to first, Olsen hit
scoring Klar. h,
The eighth was a blank for the
locals, but in the ninth two more
runs were added. Klar. first up,
hit safe; Soltau received free
transportation to first; Courtney
was out pitcher to first; Olsen was
safe on an error at second: both
Klar and Soltau scored on a wild
pitch; Iwinski was out TO f,rst
base and Otto Paul was out short
to first, ending one Of the fastest
games played by the locals this
season.
Not one ball was hit to the Sank
Centre outfield during the entire
nine stanzas. Hopkins caught a
very heady game and the entire in
field worked like clock. The boys
are going good, there are only a
very few games to be played the
balance of the season and fans
should attend these to lend encour-
