Almost half of ali pedestrians
injured are between the ages of
4 and 14 years old, In’ -other
words, of the 20,000 people on
fool who are injured every year,
every second person tragically
struck by a car, truck or bus is 4
child. That's 27 children injured
every day.’ ;

Fortunately, because of their
tremendous resiliency, young
children can. more readily
survive the effects of a. motor
vehicle accident, Nevertheless,
between 25-30 percent of all
pedestrian fatalities (ap-
proximately 1,200 per year) are
in the 4-14. age ‘group, which
averages oul to one child a day
killed.

Obviously, ‘the number at
children injured and killed is -
way out of proportion to their
respective population. In (his -
safely area, we are all badly
failing, parents, people driving
cars and olher motor vehicles,
safely officals and educators,
and, of course, the child. The
child is falling, but he is suf- .
fering for it too.

itis noted that one of every five
children killed and one out of.
every three children injured is
en route to or from school, the -
value of such patrols can not be
taken lightly. : Unfortunately,
however, children must crass at
many more street corners than
there are patrols, Children,
therefore, need to be taught and
continually reminded how to
