Time for Caution Schools opened Yesterday.

That means thousands of little and big feet will be scampering along village streets, suburban roads and highways either to or from school or from bus stop to home. It's a time for extreme caution by both young people and motorists, especially, in those first few days while everyone is getting used to new situations. Smaller youngsters Should look all ways before crossing an intersection and never cross in mid-block. Motorists must be certain they are a little sharper in watching out for a dashing child or an erratic bike rider. And those using bicyles should obey all traffic" regulations, ride in the direction of traffic flow and above all not two and three abreast on any public highway.

Deadline for both display and classified advertising is Monday at 5 p.m. prior to. publication day; School Bus With the start of the new school year, motorists should be extra alert to children walking to and from school and exercise extreme caution when 1 approaching stopped school buses. Studies by the National Safety Council, National Highway traffic administration and state highway patrols nationwide all confirm that school buses are the safest mode of transportation.

However, motorists as well as the children, must do their -share to assure the positive statistics will continue. ARA Transportation Group, an Encino, California! based division, of ARA Services, last school year transported, more than 650,000 students daily for school districts throughout the county. ARA offers these school bus safety 'tips for motorists, children and their parents alike: always stop when the red lights are flashing on a school bus. Also be alert when approaching any stopped school bus, lights flashing or not. Always.

watch for children who might be standing too close to the curb while waiting for their bus to arrive. Children, sit down right away and stay seated. Be careful and watch for cars when, you get off the bus. Listen to what your bus driver tells you and go straight home, after, leaving the" bus t0 your par- Wl F.KLY NI WSPAP1R Of THI.

Deadlines Safety Tips ents won't worry. Parents of school bus riders, see that your child is at the bus stop a few minutes early. Try to avoid conversation with the driver so the schedule can be maintained. Encourage good housekeeping aboard the bus, and tell your child always to obey school bus safety rules. Particularly after the carefree summer months, an extra measure of safety consciousness will go far as the new school year gets under way.

Dam Removal Held NO FlOOd Solution- Editor: Hamburg Sun I am writing this letter to in- -form the readers of the Hamburg Sun' that the conflict over the expansion of the golf is still going on. However, the subject has been sidelined by the town in order to provide for a "cooling off" period.

I urge you to take an interest in this controversy, as it involves important natural resources unique to Hamburg. I also urge; the to take interest in the fight against removal of the dam, located off Taylor Road. Due to an inaccurate statement in the Army Corps of Engineers' Report, the removal of the dam has been delayed. This: delay will allow you to realize that the removal of the dam will hot solve the problem of yearly flooding at the golf The Army Corps of Report States this fact. In fact, problems will arise due to the removal of the dam.

Erosioti, due to the increased water 'velocity will affect the banks of the creek, even at the golf Course. Damage to property down stream will also occur because of the additional debris being swept, down the creek due. to the loss of this water control: device. In closing, all I ask is that the people take a closer look at what is being done to this area, why it is being done, what the end result will be and maybe" most. 'importantly, since we are nearing election time, look to see who is ad- vocating what and why.

In the first place, Judge waiter Kootn has.

never released any accused killer on a "$500 bond," as suggested il In the second place, the "question" in the ad which reads "wouki you allow hundreds of accused drunk drivers to walk out of the Court after rial untrbmif. a miflftomMniw conviction?" implies that the present Town Justices are allowing such drivers to "walk" free. The fact )f the matter is that over 90 percent of them are convicted, of driv ing while impaired which is a serious violation calling a suostantiai mandatory line and suspension of the driver's license. in addition, Mr. Michalek Is representing that will find drunk drivers" guilty of misdemeanors.

I believe that Mr. Michalek knows full well that this statement is outrageous, false and totally unproper sinpe it imnlipQ t.hnf. hf hna lilftlnHv determined that defendants accused of dnink driving will be convicted of misdemeanors without the benefit of a fan-trial and regardless of the facts. How can any person who has prejudged any defendant possibly claim to hold the. right to sit in judgment of him? Leo J.

Fallon Container Return May Hurt Village Program tt i n. The State bottle-return' law just recently went into effect. Under its terms, 1 all under its terms, all recyclable beverage bottles and. cans must be returned to the stores tor return oi aeposic. The recycling scheme put into effect in the Village of Hamburg a year or so ago has, by Village Board reports, been profitable to date, perhaps largely because of the sale of glass and aluminum scrap.

In the light, however, of the fact that the Village will in all probability not have such scrap to sell in the future in any signuicant amount, can the Village recycling program still be demonstrated to be cost-effective with the remain-. ing material it collects, namely, old newspapers and soup cans? Perhaps it is time for the Village Board to re-evaluate its recycling program. Little Blasdell Police Actions Praised Editor: Hamburg Sun Having been born and raised in the Village of Hamburg and now a resident of the town's Lakeshore area, I wish to commend the Blasdell police for their actions in their recent problem with a murder. Crime is so prevelent today and rampant, especially ln'pur area of the town. We are almost afraid to live there any more We do pay our state police to be trained differently than the locals hence better methods of investigation and interrogation.

In other words the criminal 13 luauo njr wid price for his crime against society. We make the laws, hire the police, assist the District At: torney, etc. Vote carefully. A Lakeshore Resident.
