School Opening Increases Need For Traffic Caution
With both school enrollments and motor vehicle registrations Teaching new highs in Decatur, chief of police James Borders, W. Guy Brown, superintendent of the Decatur public schools, and Sister tM. Rosemary, C. S. A., principal of the Decatur Catholic school, have issued a Joint warning to motoriste, urging extreme driving care on Dedatur streets. The problem Is further complicated in Decatur because a shortage of classroom facilities, necessitates kindergarten children to go to and. from school and the library in shifts, the authorities stated. Also, they pointed out, many times classes go back and forth between the Lincoln school and the high school, and between the public and Catholic schools. This in turn, Chief Borders emphasised, requires each driver to be careful all the time, since the driver can never know just When school children will be on the streets. 'More children will be on the streets for a greater number of hours this school year than ever before, he predicted. — Constant attention to safeguarding children has paid'off in Decatur before. Borders points out, in our low fatality rate, but this is not time to let down on the Job, which is becoming more and more difficult. Children May Be Careless City police will again be stationed at grade school crossings to help the children, Borders said. In addition, safety patrols will operate from all schools to further caution the youngsters. Over the past few years there has been a 35 per cent reduction of school-age traffic fatalities, in the United States despite the doubling of enrollments and quad-i rupllng of car registrations.

| Polio Fund Dance Termed Big Success Tefal Profit Is Not Yet Tabulated The polio benefit dance at Subset Park last night was a big suecesk. with everyone enjoying the Jimmie Stier orchestra, Ben Webster. chairman of the dance committee, stated today. While total figures from the ticket sale, orchid donations, and auction of gifts from the Decatur merchants is not yet available, it is known that several hundred dollars was cleared on the dance. Lyle Mallonee and M. J. Pryor, co-chairmen of the emergency drive expressed their hearty thanks to the people of Decatur who spent so much of their time on preparations for the dance, and in making tt a success. Herman Krueckeberg, treasurer of the March of Dimes, repotted that 124.63 was received yesterday and today in polio envelopes, and that $395.74 had been turned in *o far-from the dance proceeds, making a grows total for the emergency drive so far $1,362.52. Krueckeberg emphasized that it is hoped that $1,900 will be raised throughout th* county by the drive, to help the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis raise funds to continue its two-point drive against the dreaded disease. Mallonee stated that the 50 cannteteis distributed throughout the county will be collected Tuesday, when th* drive will be completed.

Bentz Infant Dies; Services Held Today An infant baby, Glenda Marie Bentz, born August 24 at Adams county Memorial hospital, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. leo Bentz.

Funeral s*rvlc*s were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at St. Marys Catholic church and burial was in the St. Joseph cemetery.
In the schools, and the effective work of the übool safety patrols, the nature of the young ohlld doesn’t change. The yoyngster’s natural exuberance, and labk of experience place the responsibility for safety in the hands of the man or woman behind the wheel, school authorities said. The driver’s responsibility is obvious where kindergarten children are concerned, the chief of police said. It is of the same importance in relation to all grade school children, because years of training are necessary to properly train children to safe habits, Borders stressed. Children have a tendency to forget safety rules during their summer vacations. Both school and police authorities urged parents to prepare their children for school term traffic hazards. They advise the following: * 1). Cross on at corners. 2) Look both ways before crossing. 3) Play away from traffic. 4) Watching for turning curs. 5) Walk on the left facing traffic when there are no sidewalks. 6) Keep away from between parked ears. 7>. He extra alert on rainy days. Both Supt. Brown and Sister Rosemary suggested that parents urge their children to cooperate with their school patrol boys. Auto drivers, who have children of their own, will do so without urging. As a final caution to drivers. Chief Borders pointed out that the areas most dangerous to school children are those farthest from the schools. Here both children and drivers tend to be less cautious. lAU drivers are asked to be especially careful in all residential seci tions of town during the school ’ season. Borders stated.
