For all public, parochial, and private school students, the first day after the Labor Day holiday is the first day of the mne-months 1962-63 school year.

According to County School Superintendent Dr. Myron Ash-more, there is still a large number of youngsters whose names don't appear on school registration lists. The late comers, the superin tendent prophesied, will jam the county's 95 public-school offices tomorrow morning a last minute bid to enroll. "You'd better come early," Dr. Ashmore advised parents with children to enroll.

"There may be a long wait." In the case of elementary chil dren, the superintendent noted, parents should accompany their offspring tomorrow for registration. DON'T FORGET "They will need to bring their children's birth certificates and proof of Florida residence," Ash-more said of parents registering their children.

School buses will run approximately the same schedule this fall as last year. "If any parent is not sure of the schedule of his child's bus. he should call the principal of the nearest school," Ashmore ad vised. And if there still is some doubt, or more transportation problems, parents can call me all day tomorrow at the office of the Board of Public Instruction." Whip Injury.

Investigated Ethel Mae Wilks. 37-year-old Negro, 821 NW Ninth told police early today that her hus band, Wallace, 47, put an end to a long argument with a much too snappy comeback.

If the child is going to ride a bicycle to his classes he should know the proper safe riding habits. But most of all, drivers should be aware of the presence of children, Signs are posted near school crossings warning drivers that children are in the area, but a few blocks from schools there are no signs. The driver must depend on his own reflexes to prevent him hitting a child who darts out from between two parked cars or chases a ball into the street.

Drivers shoald be sure their brakes and other mechanisms in their cars are in perfect workin? That extra five feet of skidding often means a life. POSTED -Most school areas are posted for 20 miles an hour, but with young, unknowing children crossing the roads, 15 is not slow enough. The largest number of traffic accidents are in the five to 14 age group. Many of these are the little ones who don't think before they cross, or who blindly dart out into the street For the first seven months of this year -133 children under 16 years of age were killed in Flor ida by motor vehicles. Many more were injured.

Many of these deaths could have been prevented by more alert drivers. Use caution when you drive near a school, and be especially careful when school opens in the morning and closes in the after noon. Don't have a child's life on your conscience.

Safety instruction to these new scholars begins at home. Parents should teach the children proper road crossing and safety habits before' youngsters are let out on their own.
