MANY PUBLIC BUILDINGS HAVE
been dedicated more deliberately but few
more pleasantly, simply or appropriately
than Gllwood Haven.
Of prime Importance, the size of the
crowd was gratifying. Neighboring COM

There were no booming speeches. In
fact the talks might best be described as re-

IT IS DOUBTFUL IF ANYTHING
can upset the daily Life of a small city like
the installation of a bowling alley.
Since the Community Alleys opened
here last June it's been necessary to take
into consideration league affiliations in man,
ing a committee of more than three men,
bers if one bowled Monday evening, anoth-
er Tuesday, another Wednesday and a
fourth Thursday night, a perfect attendance
would be impossible at an evening meeting.
No banquet speaker is introduced until
that evenings bowlers have tip-toed out and
hustled off to the alleys. 1t was necessary
to figure out which league contained the
fewest business men before picking night
for the annual C and C dinner.
Even the women of the community find
it inconvenient. The non-boWlers can't find

THE ,TRANsPoRT1NG OF so,ooe
children to and from school IN Minnesota
during 1889 without one fatality shows
what can be done when proper safety regu-
lations are intelligently enforced. The record
is more welcome when it is considered that
this was the HIST time In a decaQe Jhat no
students were killed either in a school bus
or in crossing highway to enter or leave
a bus.
The motorist, as we'll as the safety edu-
cation workers and the bus drivers, is en-
titled to much credit. 1t is apparent that
the new state law which compels motor
list to stop when approaching school bus
which is not in motion has been generally
observed. This law, which applies to motor
lists going in either direction, is rather dras-
tic and It's continued close observance can
be expected only with cooperation of the
bus drivers. 1919.
This record is only one of the many
benefits of safety education work in the
schools. The boys and girls who now are
cooperating to reduce traffic accidents of
which they might be victims will be safer
drivers when they take the wheel of a car
within the next few years.-St Paul Dis
