POLICE PLEDGE AID TO PROTECT SCHOOL PUPILS Strict Enforcement of All Traffic Laws Ordered by Chief Morrissey. Asa step in the campaign to protect the lives of school children, Police Chief Mike Morrissey today ordered thorough enforcement of all traffic laws by police officers and patrolmen. Morrissey said he would lend every possible co-operation in The Times’ two-week campaign to LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A LIFE. At busy corners near schools where the traffic hazards have been increased by hundreds of school children going to buildings and crossing streets, police officers will stand guard during morning, noon and after-scnool periods, Morrissey announced. Education Is Goal In addition, policemen have been instructed to aid children in crossing streets and to educate them in safety measures. Morrissey said the children will be given instructions in safety rather than reprimanded for their errors. “It is the purpose of the police department to co-operate to the fullest extent in The Times campaign,’’ he said. "Police officers throughout the city will be on the lookout for reckless and speeding drivers. School Heads Co-operate “Children are inclined to run and play on their way to and from school. The only way to keep them from becoming involved in accidents that may result in their injury or death, is to educate them.’’ School officials already are cooperating in the campaign. Neighbors in the vincinity of School 69 today asked the school board and city to provide sidewalks or cinder paths so the children would not be forced into the streets n route to school.

Their Thumbs Held Out

•***-'” V --w** ' *

Complaints of highway wanderers to the contrary, one need only chance a sprained thumb to go places in America, two Indianapolis youths reported today when they returned from a two-day jaunt to Niagara Falls, N. Y., and return. They were Theodore Bluemel, 18, of 630 Weghorst street, and Robert Ludgin, 17, of 353 Parkway avenue, left and right in the picture above. At 8:50 a. m. their log shows,

they thumbed a ride eastward from Indianapolis to Richmond. From Richmond the next hop was too Ashtabula, 0., and Tuesday noon they were at Niagara. One ride brought them from Buffalo, N. Y., to Indianapolis between 6 Tuesday night and 8:30 this morning. Theodore spent $1 on the outing. Robert limited his expenditures to 95 cents. Rural electric-power lines can be run underground cheaper than they can on poles.
