Children Should Avoid Sliding on Closed
 Streets" of Vile

The cOaStlng aCcIueuL WHICH OC- cured on Boyden street this week should call to the attention of Wa terville parents the urgent neces- sity of impressing upon children the dangers of coasting upon streets which have not been set aside for coasting by the Board of Aldermen. Doris Truelove of Shef- field street suffered painful face injuries which required medical attention as the result of her sled crashing into a parked car upon the street.
 The only Waterville street which is included in this years list of streets approved for coasting IS Yale street and there are many who question the wisdom of this choice because of the traffic haz- ards at the intersection with Boy den street. The police department, however, is required, insofar as fa- cilities will permit, to provide pro- lection for coasters on selected streets. There are other streets which are perhaps safer as well as equally acceptable and 1t is possi- ble that these should be brought to the attention of the proper authorities.
 The snowstorms of the current week have provided the best coast ing conditions in years and as a result streets like Boyden, Wheel CT, Dwight, Faber, Lone-Oak. Co. lonial and others are much in use by coasters in spite of the fact that dangerous conditions from au- tomobile traffic exist upon them. It is to be expected that the police department will soon eliminate the abuses on the most dangerous thorofares.
 The safest place to coast in Wa terville is the hillside near Boyden street on the Waterville Green. Here children of all ages congre- gate every day to enjoy the ideal sliding free from the possibility Of automobile hazards. The establish ment of the hill as Q coasting spot has been a boon to children and to their parents. Pastor May Be Senate Chaplain
