DREN LEAD IN SAFETY WORK, EXPERTS CLAIM

Education System System for Adults Stressed by Officials. Times Special

"Council, which seeks to save 38,000 |

lives by 1041, can be completed only : it adults learn to practice safety as well as the nation’s children are

doing, experts agreed this week. ~ Bafety engineers for insurance 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 readily than adults. New evidence of the example being set by children for their eld- _ ders has been found by police offi- * cials 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.

g 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.” Lieuten- |

ant Brown declared. “That these safety-conscious youngsters are factually saving lives and preventing accidents by their splendid work, appears again in their record for 1936. ee Children Lead

“In compiling records of the school term just closing, to deter- ' mine 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 reduction of only. 7.4.per. cent.” Offered as an incenfive and a reward for better safety patrol work, the Washington trip is being given by Plymouth this’year to the 66 ‘Woys 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 Jast week, and the prize-winning troop left Detroit Friday for a fiveday tour of the national capital, ‘with side trips to Mt. Vérnon and - the United States Naval Academy at

~ Annapolis.
