JOHNNIE’S
South Side of Tracks
The Texas Safety Associa-
tion has predicted that in
Texas alone there are 189
school children marked for
death during' the current
school year due to traffic acci-
dents, and 700 school children
will be injured due to traffic
accidents. The majority of
these will be first graders. -
The greatest single contrib-
uting factor to this staggering
total of 889 killed and injured
will be a boy or girl doing the
unexpected. The following in-
structions were issued to driv-
ers of the Continental Trail-
ways Bus Lines and a copy for-
warded to Mayor L. A-
Wheeler.
"As professional operators
on the road every day. driving
through large cities and small
towns, you are well aware of
the fact that a grown .man or
woman doing the unexpected
—stepping from behind a park-
ed car, walking across the
street in the middle of the block
or starting across the street be-
fore the signal light changes—
is the cause of many of the ac-
cidents to pedestrians that re-
sult in death or injury. Many
boys and girls going and re-
turning from school give no
thought to the danger of a
moving vehicle.
"You should expect any
child to do the unexpected. It
is your responsibility to think,
and think in terms of your own
children or close relations. It
is your duty to drive defensive-
ly, obey all traffic regulations
and be constantly on the alert
to avoid the unexpected.
“Disregard precautions and
law of averages will quickly
overtake you.”
(Loretta Pavlica, Cor.)
