Urges. Motorists to Be
Particularly Careful of
Youngsters' Safety
"School in out and several mil
lions of children nro on tlie mreet
several moro Iiouih each day,"
said lank ltouHswlfr, director of
the public safety department of
the motor association, in discussing
the safety problems ' nonfrontinfi
tho tourist during tho summer
months.
"i-ast year practically one-fourth
of tho 20,000 persons killed by
motor vehicles were under tho rro
of 15 years and statistics show that
Juno, tho month that school lets
out, is tho month during which tho
highest number of deaths occur,
May ranking second, July third,
and August fourth.
"These aro tho vacation months,"
continued Mr. It cuss wig, "and tho
mouths during which , America
takes to tho road to enjoy tho Run
shine and relaxation of tho recrea
tion period.
"Motorists Hhould keep in mind
that moro children are found on
the streets during tho summer
months than at any othcr tlmo
during the year, and they should
keep in mind at all times that the
children are more or less Irrespon
sible, and while the law may not
convict thc motorist for tho acci
dent, the motorist himself cannot
cvado tho personal responsibility
placed upon him by the youth of
liis victim.
"U is impossible to develop a
law enforcement policy concerning
public, safety so as to apply to
everyone of tho hundreds of thou
sands of miles of heavy traveled
from tho motorists themselves.'
No trouble is experienced by tho
tourist going into Canada and re
turning to the United States, ac
cording to A. K. Shearer, head of
Ilia Touring Department of tho
association.
Tho only thing ono has to do In
entering Canada Is to be sure and
not carry firo arms,' said Mr.
Shearer, "und no delay will bo ex
perienced, cither entering Canada
or returning to the United Stales
on the part of tho tourist as every
thing has been done to cause the
least' Inconvenience and delay.'
