There is a great need on the part of a certain percentage of the motorists and pedestrians for a fuller understanding of each other’s rights. Traffic regulations are intended to operate for the safety of all. A little use of plain “horse sense” and a little more respect for the other fellow’s rights SAFETY for Children —Each child should be taught to remember that: DONTS (Se<5s5 For Drivers DON’T approach street intersections at high age a DON’T forget that the traffic officer regulates traf DON'T — the traffic officer's directions—he is She his best to prevent accidents.

DON’T drive on the left side of street or cut corners. DON’T permit your chauffeur to speed. You are just as guilty as he, and also may be prosecuted. DON’T allow inexperienced people to drive your car. DON’T use glaring headlights—they blind other drivers and pedestrians. DON’T take blind curves at high speed. Better Be Safe Than Sorry DON'TS For Pedestrians DON’T cross streets before loo! diate danger is from the le! DON’T read or let your mind wander when standing where vehicles pass. You invite accident by so doing. DON’T — in traffic route when waiting for street on sidewalk or in safety zone until acl car approaches, DON'T run across the street directly behind or in front of a car, auto or wagon. Wait and see what is on wo other side, then move at fast walk. DON’T — ways, your imme- DON’T cross street whenever the mood strikes you. DON’T unnecessarily impede traffic; do your part in avoid- ing accidents. DON’T overlook the other fellow’s viewpoint—co-operation means safety. DON'T cross street intersections diagonally. I must not cross a street with- out first stopping and looking both ways, I must not attempt to cross a street except at a crossing, for there is less danger there than at any other point. 1 must not play in the Street, especially in one fre- quently used by automobiles and other vehicles. IT must not attempt to flee if | am caught in the middle of the street with vehicles coming from both directions, for if 1 stand still they will be likely to go around me without harm. I must not steal rides by hanging on the back of wagons, trucks, automobites or street cars. T must not throw a stone or other missile at any vehicle, | 1 must not use rolfer skates or coasters on the streets, I must stay on the right side of the street and near the curb while riding a bicycle. I must not start or take part in a panic when a fire starts at school. I must remember and follow out fire drill instructions. I must not run my bicycle too close to street car or automo- bile or catch on either of them, or use a shotgun, slingshot or pea sfeoter within the city limits, THINK! TALK!
