More Children, More Bicycles, More Cars
Means Need For More Driving Care

Greater driving care than ever
before will be needed this fall
when children start back to school,
says Carol Lane, noted travel
authority and women's travel di-
rector of Shell Oil Company.
With an enrolment increase of
one and a half million over last
year, 80 million children will be
going to grammar and high schools
in the 1855 school year in the
United States. A great many of
them will be riding bicycles to and
from school-the Bicycle Institute
of America estimates "a million
children ride bicycles.
These children will be sharing
the road with SO million motor
enthusiastically two million more
than last year.
'It is shocking to realize" says
Miss Lane, "that the biggest single
killer of children aged 1 to IA in
the country is motor vehicle acci-
dents" With more children going
back to school this fall than ever
before, and more bicycles and cars
on the road, the greatest safety
precautions must be taken while
driving. This is especially true in
school zones, near Fairgrounds and
in residential areas.
Bicycle riders are supposed to
observe the same rules as those
that prevail for motorists. But"
says Miss Lane, remember that
children are children. It is up to
the adult driver to assume the re-
sponsibility. Regard every child on
a bicycle as danger signal to
slow down, drive with even more
care"
Parents must do their part, too,
by teaching children the elements
of safe bicycle riding, and making
sure that the bicycles are kept in
perfect working condition.
