tinued uninterruptedly for at least

pectation of reconciliation; that the

ent resident of the City of Will

SCHOOL REOPENING INCREASES
HAZARDS

With public schools throughout
the State reopening their doors to
approximately 100000 children,
ranging in age from six to seventeen
years, with parochial and private
schools adding thousands more and
due to continued rise in School child
fatalities, Governor Herbert r..
O'Conor's Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission appeals to all motorists
to travel with care and thus avoid
killing or manning these young
people.
1.-THE Nations record for 194O", a
Traffic Safety Commission, state
ment said, 'shows that last year
1850 children, between the ages
of and IA years lost their lives in
traffic accidents, while 100000
children were injured i'm the same
age group. The death rate for this
age rose 10 per cent, the largest in
crease in child traffic death ever re-
corded for amy age group.
This was a startling reversal of
the favorable long time record of
school children, and lost the school
children the title of lowest death
rate group"
With the opening of schools many
youngsters will be riding bicycles to
school, and the fact that the bicy-
Gle death list is constantly on the
increase, the Traffic Safety Commits
sion warns that special care must be
exercised, and all traffic laws obey
ed to avoid calamity. A bicycle, in
many cases is the boy or girls most
highly priced possession, but 1t can
also bring disaster and grief, If not
operated with caution. Statistics
show that two out of every three
bicyclists injured or killed in traf-
fic accidents were violating a traffic
law at the time of the accident"

SCHOOL SIGNS

School signs on streets and
highways once more assume definite
safety significance with children
fiocking back to the classrooms, the
Keystone Automobile Club declares
in a bulletin asking motorists coop
Grafton in accident prevention.
Motorists responsibilities are in
creased by the return of children to
school because more caution will be
required in guarding against child
accidents, Edward P. Curran, Safety
Director of the Club said.
School beginners, it is pointed
out, do not have the benefit of safe
ty instruction. Their safety depends
largely upon the way in which We
hicles are operated, not only in the
vicinity of schools, but on all streets
where children are walking ON their
way to and from the classrooms.
Free for several months from the
restraints imposed by safety educa-
ton in the classrooms, many child
rem are likely to be less safety con-
scious than they are during the rest
of the school term, is it asserted.
The Club also wishes to impress
upon motor vehicle operators the
Importance of cooperating with the
School Safety Patrols. The boys and
girls who constitute these patrols
are doing a splendid work in acct
dent prevention. They are always
on the alert to safeguard fellow pup
lis, but their efforts will be hamper
ed without complete cooperation of
motorists.
Sam Browne belts, arm bands,
safety literature. and safety posters
have been distributed by the Club
in its continuous Safety Campaign
to reduce child accidents.
