Many Children Die i In Autumn Months First Months of School Most Dangerous Days of Whole Year- "Unless an added emphasis is plac ed on traffic safety education we have every right to -expect that at least 8,000 school-age youngsters will lose their lives due to traffic eccidents during the next year," declares Harold R. Danford, educational director of the National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention division of the Association of Casualty and Surey Executives. With schools throughout the coun try reopening at this season of the year. Mr. Danford warns that nearly one out- of three accidental deaths of school-age children result from, motor vehicle accidents.

Taking a study of accidents occurring to Madison, Wisconsin, school-children as exemplary for the nation, Mr. Danford says October is generally the worst month for motor vehicle accidents to youngsters. He say September is also bad, cannot be considered as a full month because many schools do not open until almost half the month is gone. "This coming year," Mr. Danford says, "will be a more hazardous one than any of the past four-or five, due to the return of many more vehicles to the streets and highways, resumption of higher speeds and the rundown condition of many of the vehicles." A 'large proportion of these child -auto deaths are directly traceable to faulty, insufficient, or even a total lack of child training in the art of recognizing and avoiding traffic hazards.

"During the past 12 months the National Conservation Bureau has given instruction to approximately 6,000 teachers and administrators In school safety education. This instruction has been carried on in teachers' training institutes 'which were conducted in states throughout the nation. Modern methods of teaching safety 'have been instructed on the best means of put- tinr across the safety lesson for the child." Rules For Child and Driver Here are some simple rules for saving the lives of our school children. For-the-child: 1. Always cross the street under the supervision of the officer or teacher if one is present; always observe the traffic lights; whether or not there is a signal, always look both ways before crossing the street.

Always across at 1 crosswalks or intersections. driver' may not be on-' his 'job; you should be on yours. 2. Do not run into the street 'in pursuit of a ball or playmate without first making sure you will be able to return-to the curb 3. Do not anno drivers by running alongside their cars or darting in and out of the street without warning.
