The girl is Elizabeth Saunders,

Her experiment is six-week sur

Miss Saunders persuaded civic
group, the Citizens Council for
Community Planning, to sponsor
the survey.
BY mail and by hand, the 1000
citizens last week received compre-
hensive questionnaires asking them
to state their views. Yesterday
some of the answers were already in,
indicating they were glad to have
the chance.

Miss Saunders hopes to learn not

valuable such a study can be in
dealing with the citys recreation

Child Injury Rate
In District Traffic
Still Nearly 4 a Day

Washington children. despite a
four month safety drive, still are
being injured in traffic accidents at
the rate of nearly four day. ac-
cording to the latest police depart
ment statistics.
In the last two months, however,
there has been some improvement.
Earlier the toll had been running
about 20 per cent ahead of last
year. Summertime child traffic in
juries have dropped to approx
mately the level of 1947, Capt. L. T.
Johnson of the Traffic Division
disclosed.
A total of 155 children have been
injured and one killed since schools
closed June %, he said. Last sum-
mer 276 were injured and one killed.
Years Peak Set in May.
Both June and July showed a
reduction from this years peak
month of May, when 13s children
were injured. Capt. johnson re-
marked. June had 1913 injuries
while July had 118, the lowest since
March.
But each month also had one
death, bringing the years total
to five, which is one ahead of the
first seven months of l947.
This years child injury toll te
date also remains far ahead of last
year, Capt. johnson said. So fal
in 1948 police have reported 781 in
iuries, as compared with 687 at the
same time last year.
One type of accident has shown

show. Injuries to bicyclists have
doubled since April. There wert

produce is greater than the infre-

He should ask the violator to

obtains the necessary informa-
ton. If this is impractical, and
it is necessary for the officer to
hold the billfold. then, in all
cases, the officer should keep the
billfold constantly in sight and
