By I Frank L. Williams, Supt.
tMexia Public Schools
With ithe opening of the school
year, traffic becomes a major
problem.- School officials are call-
ing the Attention of the public to
thp fact that hundreds of school
children, iViony of them small, are
on the streets of the city four
times daily. Street intersections
are rather well marked and the
eity police department is efficient,
nevertheless there are occasions
when the cooperation on the part
of the public is the only thing that
will save lives,
• A strict observance of all traf
fic regualtions, especially speed,
giving proper signals for turns,
parking on the proper side of the
street, and respecting reserved
areas, Is requested. The school sys-
tem has set up a reserved parking
area at each school for loading
and unloading bus children. The
public has a tendency to complete-
ly disregard these areas and the
aid of the city police is being em-
ployed to demand respect for bus
areas. Those parked in these re-
serve dareas will have their license
numbers taken and a notice will be

piven by the city police force\ to
refi'ain from such repeated Ve-
tions. Since the police force han
authorized these loading zones, it
is entirely likely that tickets will
be issued by the city police for
repeated offenses. School officials
explain that, there is sufficient
space or individual cars to load
and unload a small group of chil-
dren, hut when buses approach for
loading and unloading, it is not at
all practical to force children to
walk through traffic in order to
get on the bus.
As a precautionary measure, all
cars going to W. M. White school
should approach the building on
the side street running West, or
on McKinney Street facing North.
This allows the children to enter or
leave the car with the car door
near the curb. In approaching any
school, the car driver should let
the children out against the curb
and not from the opposite side of
the street so that the children will
have to cross the street.
Our children are our dearest
possessions, and solely in the In-
terest of safety for these chillren,
the Mexia schools ask for coopera-
tion of all patrons.
