- you like, where all the boy
and girls who read the Junior Page
can get together with the editor fol-
. weekly chat on anything that seems
to be Of interest at the moment.
Elsewhere on this page you'll find an
announcement OF important changes
to be made in what has been known
In the past as the Junior Page Letter
Box. These changes were prompted b,
desire to give our readers a broader
and more interesting field Of SELF
expression. Read this announcement
then let us know-preferably by let
ter. though, OF course, a telephone
call, or even postcard will do-what
you think of the changes.
Remember, however, that the JUNO,
Page can be only as interesting as its
readers make it. We want to know
what you like best in the way OF
stories, article, pictures-in fact, we
want your views on everything con-
corning the Junior Page and its con-
tents.
So don't hesitate to write to us.
We're anxious to hear from you-anx-
ious to hear all about all your activi-
ties, your hobbies. adventures, ambi-
tions, even your problems. We want
you to regard the Junior Page in gen.
eral. and this column in particular, as
your own private meeting place, where

MOST Of our readers are back in
school now-and those who
aren't will be by tomorrow. During
the vacation months far too many
children have been killed and injured
in trafac accidents, and it is to be
hoped that the return to school will
tend to simplify the safety problem
Here are a few simple rules which, II
followed, will keep you out of harms S
way:
l. Don't play in the streets.
2. On your way to and from school
cross streets only at intersections, and
then only when told to do so by either
policeman or q member of the
Schoolboy Patrol.
g. During out-of-school hours, take
a good look in all directions before
crossing intersections; then move
quickly, but don't run.
4. II your ball, or something else
with which you are playing, should &C
into the street, don't run after it. Firs,
make sure the way is clear, then &c
about retrieving the lost article quickly
and carefully.
