CAUTION URGED
 UPON MOTORISTS
Watch Out for School Cflil. dren- Sullivan-De Degle-
 man Nuptials Given
WATERvILLE

With the re-opening of Sprague , Grammar school for the school year attention is focused more strongly than ever uron the in- creased hazards resulting for the completion of the new concrete state highway on Thomaston ave- nue. Motorists responding to a perfectly natural impulse to accel- crate their speed on fine high way and lacking familiarity with the location of the school proper ty may easily cause tragedy unless exrteme caution is used in driving through that area during. the hours when the children are on their way to and from school. The rotary traffic at the Homer street inter section just south of the school aids materially in slowing up traf- fic and there is always a traffic off, cer on duty at the cross walk lead ing to the school Immediately be- fore and after school is in session. Possibly the posting of signs urg- ing motorists to use extreme care while ddriving through the Water vile area might help the situation and avoid the possibility of serious accidents
 The teachers at the school are doing their part in urging pupils to remain on the sidewalks and to cross only at regular cross-walks and parents should also urge the importance of these practices. These are not sufficient for the mo- torist however, who should so keep his car under control while driving through the school area that he can quickly cope with any situa- ton which may arise.
