they have made the children OF Wa
terbury safety-consciou and alert
In their use OF the streets and high
ways. The child fatality record
speaks for itself, there hasn't been q
school-child fatality In Waterbury
since December, 1887. The teachers
have been doing fine Job and they
are TO be congratulated.
However, our problem lies in the
fact that occasionally the children
forget their safety lessons. After
school hours the discipline instilled
by the supervision Of the teachers
Is missing and they lose TO O GER
tain degree the safety consciousness
developed In the classroom and
during school hours. Then, our
problem develops-it Is then that
that we need parental assistance. Al
the start OF the summer vacation we
made O similar plea to the parents
and for the cooperation they gave
US we are very grateful. Child acci-
dents during the summer months
were at O minimum and this can
be attributed TO the parental adj
wise and the use OF the Fairgrounds
by the children.
Parental Assistance
Now, when I state parental assist
ance, mean simply this-Repeat
your warnings about street and
highway safety more frequently
Check up on where your children
are playing after school-hours. De-
termine which route they are using
In going to and from school and
make certain 1t Is the safest one. In
still upon their minds the need for
crossing only at crosswalks or at the
points where there are traffic lights
or traffic officers. When sending
them on errands send them to the
most convenient store so that their
crossing Of streets and highways will
be minimized and repeat your warn
ings Of caution TO them.
know and realize, OF course, thai
during school hours this Is handled
by the teachers-it Is part OF the
safety training the children receive
But, children, particularly small
children, forget and when children
forget you must think for them.
Warn them frequently and beal
In mind always, II you will, police
men cannot be everywhere. I assur,
you, parents Of Waterbury, tina
your police department will d,
everything within its power to max,
this a safer school-term for YOU
children.
Reduce Speed
To the motorists - reduce you
speed when approaching schoo
zones. Be on the alert at all time
for children who might suddenl.
dart into the path Of your vehicles
BY doing so, you, the motorist, vii
be giving the police the needed CO
operation to protest our future citi
zens.
To the driving and walking pub
lie Of Waterbury, I wish to exten
my gratefulness for the splendid al
you have given the police depart
ment In its attack against tran
accidents. Accidents in Waterbul
are on a steady decline. Fataliti'
have been kept at minimum. "

very much interested in our cele-
bration. We took the Indian pad

to Governor Moses, and IT created
so much interest that il spent some
time making the rounds of the
tables. Ii was pleasure to an
swer the many questions asked.
Several of the men assured US they
were planning trips to the coast
in July and promised not to miss
Washington's Golden Jubilee.
At the luncheon we were most
fortunate to sit beside Mr.. George
VIII. vice president of North Da-
kots Historical society. and a
recognized authority and author on
history of northwestern United
States. Particularly interested in
our trip because of voyage he
had made himself some years ago.
Mr.. viii took immediate charge
of us. with the result that our stay
in Bismarck was pleasant. informa-
tive, and long to be remembered.
