MANY DETROITERS TO attend MEET OF american LEGION
Drivers Warned
To Watch School
Crossings Closely

We are fast approaching the
opening of the school year. This
fact may present various problems.
To the parents 1t may seem an ex-
ira effort to obtain money required
to secure books, tuition and proper
clothing. To the teacher, 1t means
the end of a pleasant vacation plus
the Responsibility of guiding
group of children through a long
period of study. To the older chill
dren, their Is always the question
of who will the new teacher be
this year, and to the little tots.
just starting it means the begin
ming of a new life. For the first
time in the lives of many, they
will spend considerable time away
from home, away from Mother,
away from everybody to whom they
were accustomed to go to with
their little troubles.
At every turn they will enceun-
ter new pleasures, new problems,
new dangers, on their way to and
from school they are practically at
the mercy of the motoring public.
These little children are fairly
bubbing with anxiety to please, to
do right, but due to the lack of
mature miYd, they may uninten-
tionally disobey a signal or do the
unsafe thing.
We request motorists to be par
ticularly alert when approaching
school crossings, wait until the
Officer or Safety Patrol boy gives
you clear and precise signal to
proceed, then do so with extreme
care. 1t is not as If you were cross
ing an ordinary intersection with
the green signal, you must remem-
Der there is a possibility OF these
youngsters misunderstanding the
signal and dashing into the street.
When driving through residen-
tial districts, always be particul-
arly careful in the morning and
afternoon, when children are on
their way to and from school Chill
dren are noticeably thought free,
and it is up to you to be careful.
These suggestions to motorists
are issued by the First Precinct
Safety Officers, of the Detroit oP-
lice Department.
