Kinley and Secretary of War Alger
extended public congratulations to
the daring Army lieutenant who
had braved death countless times
in carrying out his orders.
Shortly after his return, Rowan
was promoted to captaincy.
The citation from Congress states
that the secret information Rowan

is then that we need parental as- Sistance."
 Parental Aid
 Now, when state parental as- sistance I mean simply this-Re- peat your warnings about street and highway safety more frequently. Check up on where your children are playing. De- termine which r,,Ite they are using in going to the park or play ground and make certain it is the safest one. Instill upon their minds the need for crossing only at crosswalks or at points where there are traffic lights or traffic officers"
 T realize, of course, that dur ing the school term all of this is handled by the teachers-it is part of the safety training they receive. But, children, particu- larly small children, forget and when children forget you must think for them"
 Warn them frequently and bear in mind always, if you will, policemen cannot be everywhere. I assure you, parents of Water bury, however that your police department will do everything within its powers to make this a safe vacation for your children"
 we will be on the watch for them. We will do our best to make them safe bicycle riders and safe pedestrians, but we do need your help"
 Incidentally, along that line. one of the best things a parent can do is to set good example. You can hardly expect your youngsters to be safe pedestrians if you do not observe the traffic regulations which have been es- tablished for pedestrian safety. Nor, can you expect a child to regard traffic laws seriously if you fail to obey them. If you do not stop for stop sign, how can you expect that your youngsters will when they are riding their bicycles.">
 T repeat, therefore, the police department will do all in its power to make this summer Q safe one for your children. Assist us by giving them the necessary parental advice and warnings from time to time. check up on where they are playing and with whom they are associating and set them a good example,"
