TERRACE HERALD,

Drivers in Terrace, onthe whole, are careful and courteous
They have to be or several of the town’s children would have
been killed during the past month,

From all appearances, our children. are not safety. consc-
jous and. they are certainly pushing the care and attention of
motorists to the full exter,

Twas out fora walk last week to enjoy that good weather ,

we had at last, At the corner of T.gkelae and Xalum streets [
came up against a red light and automatically stopped to wait
for the light to change green in my direction.

Two. little tykes, aged about 10 and 8, came rushing past
me and right out into the middle of the road. I jumped about
10 feet stralght up in the air and hollered. Some one up above
must have had a kindly eye on those two children because they

narrowly missed being hit full onbytwotons of steel and metal -

moving at 20 miles an hour,

The same afternoon, I was driving past ‘one of our local
schools at dismissal time. Right in front ofthat building sever-
al children, who were old enough to know better, were in the
middie of the road jumping in pot holes, The rest of the road
was occupied by other gaffers strolling alongwith never an eye’
to the moving- cars weaving in their midst,

I presume those children got home with nothing worse than
wet feet.

; One of these days, some childis goingto be killed If a child
is out fooling in the middle of the road and a car comes around
a curve going no more than 25 miles an hour that child is going
to get it. Héwon*tlivetotell his friends not to play in the mid-
dle of the road,

If our children do, not know enough to stay out of the road
they are hardly. golngto appreciate the finer points af road safe-
ty. Motorists cannot assume all the responsibility, It is up to
parents and teachers to see that children are taught to mind
themselves on the road,

* *

In Terrace we have particular problems, There are no
traffic lights at {ntersections where most children willbe pass=
ing to and from school. Wedonct have well marked pedestrian
erossings inschool areas, Wedonot have many sidewalks where
children can walk well away from traffic,

Atl these problems make ‘for very dangerous situations
and our children must understand just howhazardous the roads
are,

Perhaps school training could be stepped up, In larger
communities a school patrol has been found to be a big help,
Perhaps this idea could be useful in Terrace,

Older children could take turns guiding their classmates
across intersections near the school, The intersections are
busy enough when school is getting out,

**ee

_In this ease, the children assume responsibility for their _

own safety, They take part in the program themselves, It
means more to them than lectures from teachers and scold-
ings from parents,

There is one point that can hardly be emphasized enough
in Terrace. With a lack of sidewalks and poor street lighting
in most areas, it is important that every child out after dark
-be dressed in light clothing that can easily be seen by a mots
orist,.

‘It gets dark here early at night. All children going to bas-
ketball practices, cubs, scouts or brownies or whatever, will
probably be out after dark,

Mothers will tell you children’s winter jackets areusually .

a dark color, .s0 they don’t show the Hitt» That's, a fags 59
t heres a suggestion, -

Perhaps, recreation authorities and other groupe ube
’ yising after-dark activities for children could get together with
mothérs to organize a sewing bee, It would take only a few
minutes to sew up two squares. (front and back) of white or
irridescent material with ties that could be wornover a winter
jacket.
