Ilowever, if parents and children chil-dren do not wish to avail themselves them-selves ot this safety precaution, precau-tion, the service will be . immediately im-mediately discontinued. While Police Chief J. J. Mercer was advising your correspondent cor-respondent of the police escort es-cort for safe passage for children, chil-dren, three small children attempted. at-tempted. to cross the Main-Center Main-Center intersection going from north to south against the green light. The three and four-year. olds, made It by dodging only one car, but Mr. Mercer ran a block to rescue the two-year old who started across, then retreated as oncoming on-coming traffic went on either side of him. Precautions will save a life and the city will spare no expense ex-pense to provide adequate protection pro-tection for the youngsters, but safety is a matter of edduca-tion edduca-tion and demonstration which is the burden of the parents. Those three small unadvised urchins may have been yours and at the next crossing they may be as unlucky as they were lucky Wednesday afternoon after-noon when the incident was witnessed.
