denly looms up from nowhere,
there is a screech of brakes, and
another casualty is added to the
growing figures"
Mr.. Purnen said that while par
ents, schools, and the police de-
partment are working constantly
for greater child safety on streets
and highways, there are many
problems yet unsolved. One of the
major problems, he said, is coping
with the impulses of children and
training them in safety precau-
tions from pre-school age through
adolescence.
The only way to tackle this
problem of unpredictable behavior
in children, especially in crossing
streets, is to urge that motorists
keep a sharp lookout and drive
slowly through school and play
ground areas, especially during
the peak hours of school traffic in
the morning and afternoon" he
said. Schools and parents are
doing their best to train small fry
to be more safety-wise and are
doing remarkable job"
There were 4,100 children kill
ed in traffic accidents last year."
Mr.. Purnell concluded. We must
stop this needless slaughter of
our children. And it is up to us
to protect children by needing the
oft-repeated warning: Drive slow
Protect our Children!"

On Saturday, September 10th, a
large number of ministers and
laymen of the Peninsula Confer
ence gathered at Camp PeCoMeth,
near Centerville, Maryland to ded-
icate this fine new Auditorium and
Chapel. Everyone was pleased
with its looks. 1t seems to be-
long right where it is because of
the way it fits into the surround
ings of the Camp. All were de-
lighted with the interior. The nice
hall and workshop center fill a long
felt need. One feature that each
liked was the three large doors

raised up so that the whole side

H. w. T. Purnell, Vice Presi-

children being sponsored locally

This year we had 1929 young peo-
