 The work of the accident squad has brought about @ great improve. ment In traffic safety in East Main street, one of the city's most travelled thoroughfares. Thus far in June there have been but five accidents on East Main street. During the same period in May there were l6 accidents in that street, while in the first part of April there were no less than 18 automobile mishaps on East Main street.
 The police department will carry on a safety campaign in the city's playground during the summer months. Trained safety workers will explain the need for extreme care in crossing streets and the danger of playing in the streets. The program will begin as soon as the playgrounds are opened.

lose their reality in human con-
