ycur-old male traveling com
panion Friday began 20-day

Miss Edna Mao Miller, 19,

lewd and lascivious conduct
and an additional 60 days for
theft of a dress from a Mil
waukee department store.
Her companion, Albert Van
Landlngham, also of Los An
geles, was sentenced to 60
days for defrauding a motel
keeper and another 60 days
for lewd and lascivious be
haviour. Driving without a li
cense cost him a $100 fine.
Authorities sent their 3-week-old
baby to a local home
for dependent children.
A third member of the
group, Miss Sharon Sweek, 23,
of Tlgard, Ore., drew 60 days
in Jail on a concealed weapons
charge resulting from discov
ery of a knife in her purse.
Van Landingham'a brother,

'Robin Hood'
Marries Heiress
Dublin, Ireland (UPO - Film
star Richard Green, known to
television fans for his Robin
Hood aeries, was married to
South American heiress Bca-
triz Roblcdo Summers In a
quiet registry office wedding
here.
The bride is a native of
Colombia and sister of a for
mer Colombian diplomat. She
has two children by a former
marriage.
safety cducullon Whipple
noted tho; 14,877 children
under the age of 13 were
killed In all kinds of accidents
last year, This compares to
the 8,031 children In the same
age group killed by all com
municable diseases in the
same year.
The Child Safety Council
hopes to do the same thing
for accidents that other
groups have done In minimiz
ing the deaths caused by can
cer, tuberculosis, polio and
other discuses, he mild.
Lists 10 Accidents .
Whipple listed the 10 ac
cidents which caused the most
child deaths last year. They
are traffic accidents, 2,324;
drownings in unsupervised
waters, 2,244; fires, 2,074;
pedestrian accidents, 1,780;
poisons, 1,500; falls, 640;
guns, 340; bicycle accidents,
300; railroad accidents, 104;
and miscellaneous accidents,
3,241.
Among miscellaneous acci
dents, according to Whipple,
arc plastic bag accidents, re
frigerator accidents and
deaths from child molesters.
The safety education pro
gram is directed only to chil-1
drcn from the sixth grade
down, he explained, because ,
it is easier to teach young j
children than try and change I
those that have already dc- -vcloped
definite safety hab-,
its, good or bad. Children
above the sixth grade have '
usually inherited adult traits
and characteristics toward ;
safety, he said, and for that
reason are much more diffi
cult to train. I
Started In 1949
Whipple told the group
that the program was started :
in 1049 in Jackson, Mich., by ,
the chief of police of that j
town. It was started as a po-j
lice safety program and has :
since grown so national in
scope that in 1052 it was
made a federal non-profit j
safety organization.
Under the program safety!
manuals are distributed to
each school child. These man
uals, which are changed each
year, can be colored by thej
students and arc designed so'
that they will be of interest
to them. i
There is one manual for
children In grades one
through three and another for
children In grades (pur
through six. Each student will
also get a folder on the prob
lem of child molesters. This
folder is designed, he said, so
that the child will take it
home to his parents and it will
become the basis for family
discussion on the problem of
child molesters.
Safety Pollers
Each month there will be a
different safety poster posted
in each school. In addition
the council will make avail
able a number of safety films,
including five by Walt Disney,
to nearly all interested orga
nizations, such as Boy Scouts,
churches and so on. There is
no charge for these films,
Whipple noted. .
The manuals will be distrib
uted and explained by police
officers, rather than school
personnel, Whipple said, be
cause children will often lis
ten better to the officer. If
the manuals were to be hand
ed out by the teacher, the stu
dent might possibly feci that,
"It is just another assign
ment," he said.
One of the purposes of the
council, aside from safety, is
to promote and encourage co
operation between children
and law enforcement agen
cies he pointed out.
Not Replace Others
Whipple cautioned that this
safety program would not
serve to replace others that
are : already being used in
schools, but It would serve as
a valuable supplement to
them.
Both Mekvold and May
field indicated that their re
spective school districts would
lend support to the program
for the llrst year. i i
' During this year its worth
and effectiveness would be
analyzed and whether or not
it would be continued would
depend on this analysis, they
said..
! Dr. Mayfleld also pointed
out that Assistant Superin
tendent of Schools Elliott
Bccken had studied the ma
terials to be used In the pro
gram and commented that It Is
some of the best and best or
ganized safety material that
he has seen.
First Donation
- The first donation to the
program was $200 received
from Timber Products. Sev
eral verbal commitments for
donations were also obtained
by Whipple at the meeting.
These were from Lausman,
who said Kogap would give
something, and from Jennings
who said the Security Insur
ance and Real Estate company
would also give sometlhng.
Restaurant-owner North
said he would contribute one-"
tenth of the cost.
Whipple said ho has always
felt that "prevention Is bet
ter than apprehension" and -that
the 14,877 children killed
each year because of acci
dents, "is an awful price to -pay
for carelessness and
ignorance." . ; . -,:
