Patrolman Wilder Is Chief Speaker At PTA Council M. J. Wilder, Jr., Florida High- way Patrol Officer, was the main speaker Wednesday at the Monroe Council of P. T. A. which met at the First Presbyterian Church. In his talk, Wilder pointed out that PTA workers can do a great deal to help in safety. It is up to parents and teachers to teach chil- dren safety rules, he said. Acci- dents among young children are opiead he. reported and for is reason he advocated that teachers take part of the day to teach pupils safety. Wisely, he emphasized that the teacher has the child for a great part of the day and that children take home what they are taught, talking it over with *parents. The entire family therefore benefits from safety instruction, he added. Wilder said that policemen should make friends with the chil- dren and that in turn they won't put an officer on the spot. He said, “Teach children. when they are young to do things the right way; when they become. older, they automatically do things cor- rectly.” Fifth graders of the Poinciana School put on a play, “Famous veople Of The Month Of Febru- ary.” It was well done and well received.
