Don't Make Your Own Traffic Rules!
m
Be Careful?
PROTECT BOTH YOURSELF
AND THE OTHER FELLOW
pHERE is a great need on the part of many motorists and
pedestrians for a fuller understanding of each other's rights.
Traffic regulations are intended to operate for the safety of all.
A little use of plain "horse sense" and a little more respect for
the other fellow's rights would eliminate a great many acci
dents that result in death, injury, property damage and no end
of mental anguish and physical suffering. "Jay -walking" de
velops into sudden death or a prolonged stay at the hospital
just as often as do wild, reckless driving by speed maniacs.
The purpose of this announcement is to point out the means of eliminating the bulk of the accidents
Read, remember and observe

SAFETY For Children
Each child should be taught to remember that:
I must not cross a street with
out first stopping and looking
both ways.
I must not attempt to cross a
street except at a crossing, for
there is less danger there than at
any other point.
I must not play in the street,
especially in one frequently used
by automobiles and other vehi
cles. I must not attempt to run if I
am caught in the middle of the
street with vehicles coming from
both directions, for if I stand
still they will be likely to go
around me without harm.
I must not steal rides by hang
ing' on- the back of wagons,
trucks, automobiles or street
cars.
I must not throw a stone or
other missile at any vehicle.
I must not use roller skates or
coasters on the streets.
I must stay on the right side
of the street and near the curb
while riding a bicycle.
I must not start or take part in
a panic when a fire starts in
school. I should remain in my
seat until I can walk out without
danger of being crushed in the
aisles.
I must not run my bicycle too
close to street car or automobile
or catch n on either of them, or
use an air rifle, slingshot or pea
shooter within the city limits.
