CHILDREN LEAD IN SAFETY WORK, EXPERTS CLAIM

Education System for Adults Stressed by - Officials.

Times Special - DETROIT, June 13—The “fiveyear plan” of the National Safety Council, which seeks to save 38,000 lives by 1041, can be completed only if adults learn to practice safety as well | as” the nation’s children are

doing, experts agreed this week. Safety engineers. for insurafice companies, traffic officials and public safety directors are united in the belief that education is the nation’s strongest weapon in the fight against traffic accidents, and that children are responding more Teadily than adults. New evidence of the example being set by children for their eldders has been found by police officials here.” It appeared in the school term records of Detroit's Safety Patrol boys, who have been competing throughout the term for a five-day trip to Washington, offered by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corp.

Fatalities Reduced

Since 1922, when child safety education began on a national scale, traffic fatalities among children of grade school age have been reduced more than 6 per cent. Adult traffic deaths in the United States during the same period increased 198 per cent, National Safety Council records show. Major credit for this decrease in traffic fatalities among children must go to the nation's patrol boys, according to Lieutenant Wesley Brown, head of the .Public Safety Bureau of the Detroit police department, “This year there are 250,000 patrol boys protecting the lives of 7,500,000 school children four times a day, at street intersections near schools throughout the country,” Lieutenant Brown declared. “That these safety-conscious youngsters are actually saving lives and preventing accidents by their splendid work, appears again in their record for

1936. Children Lead

“In compiling records of the school term just closing, to determine which of Detroit's patrol boys are eligible for the 'Plymouthsponsored trip, we find the children again leading adults in accident reduction. Under the protection of 6200 patrol boys, Detroit school chil-

dren have reduced their fatal accidents more than 40 per cent during the first five months of '1936, as compared with the same period last year. Adults have effected a reduc tion of only 7.4. per cent.” Offered as an incentive and a reward for better safety patrol work, . the Washington trip is being given by Plymouth this year to the 66 boys selected by police and school authorities for outstanding service during the school year. The 66 winners -were chosen at a special assembly of 320 Honor Patroy Boys last week, and the prize-winning troop left Detroit Friday for a fiveday tour of the national capital, with side trips to Mt. Vernon and - the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
