schools open on the 7th-of September, you ,wiH »
ffwn see the School Patrol, policeing' the. intersections-of
streets with their white Sam Brown belts and their traffic ba
tons. Possibly many of the people in Kodiak have poidea
what these cayefuliy-selected lads are doing,-what their por
po8e is in directing traffc and pedestrians across busy streets,
fhe primary purpose of the School Patrol is to promote safety
for school children. They have been selected from all the boys
in school and are definitely part of the local Police Force. In.
structions are given them and aS voy (frelul eye is kept on
them to see that they know what they are doing.
If you are a motorist and a Patrol Boy holds up his hand for
you to slop, it’s best you stop. After you have stopped and
parked your car, then you can argue the point with him or one
of the City Police who won’t be far away. The main thing to
do however, is to stop because he had some specific reason to
stop your car.
Certainly some of the boys will make mistakes, but in case
you think you are in the right and he is wrong, take your
complaint to the Chief of Police because the intersection the
Patrol Boy is directing school kids across is not the proper
place to bring up an argument.
There is one more very noticeable infraction that Kodiak
motorists seem to be violating which would be a most danger
cus practice, and that is passing school buses loaded with
school kids when they have stopped to discharge passengers.
To date we have not one single blot on our pedestrian death
list. Lets keep Kodiak that way and continue to promote
Safety for ouy children, and Thiak Safety, Teach Safjty and
PracticeSafety, every day.

a threat, it is our solemn obli
gation to the American people
to help them avoid the disease
or if they do contact it-to do
everything in our power to
help them back to healthy, use
ful lives. For both these aims
our chances are grood."

phasized the laws and organi-1

pottents of safety such as san
itation of water and food, ways
and means to protect life, and
care and removal of the sick
and injured. *:

clude both types, air and by
