Knowles also praised area law enforcement agencies and the General Motors Corp.

in Janesville for "your imaginative and extremely successful public education efforts in the vital area of traffic safety." Citing the fact that 11 of the 16 fatalities on Wisconsin highways last weekend were under 19 years old, the governor said, "This tragic loss is dramatic evidence of the need to instill traffic safety consciousness in our elementary school children." The Green Pennant program was started in Detroit 22 years ago by a retired policeman and a newsman. In 1963 General Motors extended its sponsorship and the program went national. Throughout the state, there are 220 participating schools with enrollments of 103,000. In the United States there are more than three million children participating. The Janesville area takes in Rock, Green and Jefferson counties 83 schools as participants with enrollments of more than 45,000 students.

Discussing his comprehensive highway safety bill, Gov. Knowles said two factors are still necessary to lower the fatalities on Wisconsin highways. Based on coroners' reports, Knowles said, it has been estimated that 60 per cent of all fatalities showed they had suffered an impediment in driving efficiency and judgment. "Our courts- and law enforcement officers need some kind of scientific means of identifying the drinking driver." Knowles said. The breathalyzer equipment Knowles advocates would not be a means of harassment to drivers, but would rather pinpoint the extent of alcohol in the bloodstream.

Another element in his driver safety program would be a uniform beer drinking age such as those being practiced in Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa. Knowles also described a seven-point safety education plan that will be implemented by the Department of Public Instruction. It would make the state the first in the nation to establish a formal safety education program, employing safety education experts. In addition to Johnson, other General Motors personnel active on the plant-city committee are E. B.

Adams, Chevrolet plant manager; C. W. Coffey. Chevrolet production superintendent; J. J.

McCarthy, Fisher Body plant superintendent: R. C. Stonecliffe and S. H. Erwin, Chevrolet and Fisher Body comptrollers; D.

Traynor and T. B. Jeffery, personnel directors for Chevrolet and Fisher Body. $25,000 Suit Filed in Farm Accident for approximately $25,000 compensation for injury from a farm tractor has been filed in Walworth County Circuit Court against Ormal Nelson, Rt. Elkhorn.

Psychologist 'Appalled' at Janesville Method of School Transfers See Our Very Fine Selection of Famous 'IMS LIN6E, Gowns Panties Shorty Pajamas all Colors Size 32-42 WE NOW HAVE A TEMPORARY ROAD FROM RANDALL AVENUE, DIRECT TO OUR STORE. GIFT SHOP iM4 INE vrmiT By LYNN FORBISH A child psychologist at Johns Hopkins University says he would be "appalled" to have his child moved from school to school every year or two, as is the situation for many Janesville A group of 16 parents met last night in the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Byron Welsh, 58 S. Harmony Drive, to discuss means of solving the problem created by annual shifting of boundary lines. A letter was read to tha group from the psychologist, a professor of psychology and education, in which he said "As a psychologist, I believe that such a practice is probably upsetting to the emotional, social and academic development of many of the children. It seems to be an unnecessarily cruel way to balance enrollments." "It's a game we play at our house," said Mrs. Robert Kies, "the game of where are we going to school next year." The Kies said this is the fourth year in a row they have had their children at three different schools.

The Welsh's son, a 6th grader, also has attended four different schools. Mrs. Welsh said he hasn't been in the same school two years in a row. Many of the parents had contacted Clarence Fox, special services officer for the Janesville Board of Education, who is in charge of establishing boundary lines. New lines are set up each year to create a balanced class load of students in each class of each elementary school in the public school system.

'Pin on Map' "My child is just a pin on a map to be moved," one parent commented. Several parents had had children enrolled in a school for two weeks and then shifted to another school because of a class overload. Mrs. Welsh explained that many parents had talked to Fox and he had been "most willing to explain the system he uses to establish boundary lines, but he said there was no way to change the system. He told one parent to send her child on the city bus.

but can you see a kindergartener on the bus? He also said he was not concerned with the convenience of parents. Well, neither are we. We are concerned with our children. "Last year schools sent out communiques saying it was important that children come home for lunch and that parents should not forget children's emotional and social needs," she said. "I walked the distance to my son's school and I walk at a pretty brisk pace, and it took me 20 minutes.

My son just doesn't have time to come home for lunch." "My daughter's teacher started complaining that she was always late for kindergarten," Mrs. Kies said. "I asked her what could I do when I have two others to take to school. What am I going to do? Speed 35 to 40 miles an hour so I can get her to school on time when it's so far away from the others? And they tell you they don't want the children to come early for class. Then they expect us to bake, be room mothers, join the PTA.

I can't be running around all the time." PTA Dropouts Mrs. Welsh said she knew of two cases where mothers had been elected presidents of PTA groups in schools their children were attending, only to have their children transferred after a couple of weeks. Many parents present said they refused to join PTA's because of this reason and because it would mean they would have to join at two or sometimes three different schools because their children were enrolled at that many schools. "I can't see splitting up the family." "I feel they're just too lazy to balance a class without splitting up my children." "The family should stay is the basis of our social structure." "We have to keep the familv together," were comments made by some. "Well, we told our daughter that at least she'd know everybody when she got to junior high," Mrs.

Kies said. "Yes, hut will she have any friends?" asked Mrs. Marvin Barnes. "My son was so enthusiastic about his school he joined practicallv pverv athletic team he could." Mrs. Welsh said.

"Two weeks later he was switched to another school and he was so hurt he didn't want to join one sports event. It's hard to break out of a groun once it's formed. He couldn't understand why he couldn't go to school at one place and still be on the other school's team." Situation Reversed Scott Porter wondered why his children, one in the first grade at Adams and one in the third grade at Jefferson, had been separated, when his neighbor across the street had the exact situation in reverse, one in first grade at Jefferson and the other in third grade at Adams. Mrs. Jack Biddick said she had discussed the problem with Supt.

of Schools Fred Holt, who was "very cooperative in trying to explain the situation. What we got was (we would have to spend) more tax dollars or schools to alleviate the situation." "If he's (Fox) a professional administrator, he should be trying to find a way to change i (situation)," Marvin Barnes said. Mrs. Barnee added that she was told the "curriculum is the same In all schools" and that "if the child is normal, he'll adjust." The parents agreed they had not once heard anyone complain about nny one school, just complaints on the shifting boundaries. "We really don't care if our children go to Roosevelt or Monroe or Adams or so they stay there." Mrs.

Barnes said. Wrote to Psychologists Mrs. Welsh said she had written to other child psychologists around the nation, asking them what effect this shifting had on a child, psychologically and emotionally, but, most letters had not been answered as yet. She did read two letters received from friends in Moline and Rockford, 111., who wrote "people here would not stand for that" (shifting boundary lines and having their children at various schools). "We also found that although many other communities do shift boundary lines, this is not done every year," Mrs.

Welsh said. "And the only place we found where lines are shifted as routinely as in Janesville was in Long Island, N. The parents discussed the possibilities of circulating a petition to determine the number of Janesville residents concerned with the problem of boundary lines; decided to check into a study made by four elementary school principals appointed by the school board's special problems committee to investigate the problem; and to approach the board of education in December when information they requested has been answered.
