SCHOOL OPENS—If You Don't Do Anything Else Today, Please Read This Dear Driver: A few weeks ago, I saw a little girl struck by a car as she tried to cross the street. I saw a father race toward her and hold her to him as she struggled in the agony of death. I saw all the plans that had been made for her dashed and I saw the look of despair that came over his face. I could only offer a prayer that such a thing might never happen again. Today my daughter, who is six years old, started off to school. Her Cocker Spaniel, whose name is Scoot, watched her leave and whined his belief in the folly of education. Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her, a girl with yellow curls, and about the boy across the aisle who makes faces; about the teacher who has eyes in the back of her head; about the trees in the school yard and the big girl who does not believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things tremendously vital and unimportant things. Now, as this is written, she is sound asleep with her doll “Paddy” in her arms. When her doll gets broken or her finger gets cut or her head gets bumped. I can fix them. But when she starts across the street—then, Mr. Driver, she is in your hands. Much as I wish I could, it is not possible for me to be with her all of the time. I have to work to pay for her home, her clothes, her education. So Mr. Driver, please help me to look out for her. Please drive carefully. Please drive slowly past schools and at intersections. And please remember that sometimes children run from behind parked cars. Please don’t run over my little girl. With deepest thanks for whatever you can do for all little girls and boys. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Father This letter was written to the Elmira (N.Y.) Advertiser, which observes: “If any driver can resist its appeal, he has no business with a driver’s license.” This is being passed on to the citizens of Speedway for the interest of safety for our children when they start back to school September 8, 1959. Please Mr. Motorist, when you are criticizing other drivers—take inventory of your own driving. Give our children a break and lets make this another safe year for our children. Speedway Police Department O.E.S. Pitch-In The Speedway Chapter No. 561, O.E.S. will meet Tuesday, Sept. 8 at the Masonic Temple, 1620 N. Lyndhurst.
