mer," by Albert E. Idell? 1t is IA

crate preparations Philadelphia

to celebrate the hundredth ami

happened to the Rogers family is
the story told in this entertaining
novel Centennial Summer" and
it is grand reading as well as an
amusing picture of a more than
interesting American family. Mr..
Rogers makes his presence felt
among the we'll drawn character
of this novel as definitely the lord
and master of the household. He
was a railroad man and his voice
was trained to be heard over the
roar of locomotives and lines of
freight cars-and he roared even
when he was home.
His lovely wife, the daughter of
an Irish nobleman. their lively
children, the arrival of Partisan
Aunt Zenc and her nephew Phil
ippe, rich and handsome. to attend
the fair. are the characters in this
merry, exciting. gay, fast moving
novel. Full of high humor out of
the heart of an earlier America,
1876, in the staid old city of Phila-
delphia you will enjoy one excit-
ing summer-against the backdrop
of the Centennial celebration. by
one of our most entertaining and
capable novelists. Albert E. Idell.

15.4S3 Young Children In School
Last years statistics show 15,4S3
children were enrolled in kinder
garten and the first grades of the
public schools. corresponding to
the to age group where the most
traffic accidents to pedestrian chill
dren occurred.
Parents Responsibility
DR.. Marion Hotopp, acting di-
rector of the Division of Maternal
and Child Health for the State
Board of Health. suggests that par
ents take their primary grade chill
dren to the busy streets or high
ways that they must cross on their
way to school and let the children
say when it is safe TO proceed.
Only then, she says. can parents
folks realize how important it is
to look both ways before crossing
and to stay on the. side when cars
are near.
See that children understand how
traffic lights work and what the
colors mean. Have them under
stand that traffic policemen and
school boy safety patrols are on
duty to help them cross streets or
highways safely-and that their
orders must be obeyed.
Plan Children's Routes
Based on last years attendance
reports of the public schools. it is
expected that about 4.195 children
will enter the first grade of Della
ware schools this fall, and DR..
Hotopp points out that if parents
would plan the safest route for
these children to take when they
walk between home and school,
and see that the children follow it,
instead of going hit or miss as the
children wish, many accidents
could be avoided. Often it is poss-

Children Must Cooperate
Motorists. it is true, are often to
blame in traffic accidents. but chill
dren, too, break the rules and it
will take the cooperation of chill
dren. parents. teachers. as well as
car drivers. to prevent future traf-
fic accidents and deaths to Della
ware youngsters. The Delaware
Safety Council and the State Po-
lice join the State Board of Health
in asking parents to teach their
children how to cross streets and
roadways safely. and not to dart
out from behind parked cars. chase
balls across streets without look
ing for traffic or to run after dogs
or play tag on busy streets and
highways.
