For a long time Butler has been afflicted with jay drivers and {ay walkers and there have been many predictions that our streets would be the scene of a tragedy unless some- thing was done to make drivers and walkers observe the. rules of the road, The Commercial Club erected suit- able posts at each corner of .the square for the guidance” of drivers of vehicles, which answered the purpose for which they were intended, but they were of no value to the jay walker. The city council and the Commercial Club discussed the mat- ter in all its phases but could see no way out and finally gave it up. Then the boy scouts took the matter in. hand and soon reached a solution to the difficulty. On band concert nights, Saturdays and other days when the traffic was unusually heavy two boy scouts, in uniform, were sta- tioned at cach of the congested cor- ners and courteously instructed each one that they saw cutting across the corner how much safer it would be if they would walk clear to the cor- ner before attempting to cross the street. Most of the walkers took the suggestion in good part and it was not long until a very noticeable im- provement was noted and it is to be heped that in a short time jay walk- ers will be unknown in Butler.
