DRIVE FOR HIM, TOO—Only the constant wariness of you, the driver, can save little tykes like this from painful injury or death. Too young to be aware of the screaming death that hides in traffic, Drake K. Bailey, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Bailey, 6021 Bonna Ave., pays no attention to cars. He is more interested in play. You must be his eyes and ears; you must guard his life. Look out for him and the thousands like him.

DEAR SIR: A few minutes ago, my little boy narrowly missed being struck by a car. He is only 4, not old enough to understand how deadly are the cars he loves so much, not smart enough to yet know how to be careful. No matter how cautious the mother, or how thorough her training of the child, there are many, many times when only the driver's constant awareness can save the child.
