Show Council Gives Grim Warning on Fall Traffic Safety "Don't 1ei school bells sound the death knell for YOUR child." This grim warning was issued today by Elizabeth Perry, spokesman spokes-man for the Cedar City Coordinating Coor-dinating and Safety Council's September program of traffic safety education, as millions of youngsters trooped to classrooms "throughout the country many for the first time. "For the beginner," Mrs. Perry said, "this may be his first tussle tus-sle with reality with the dangers dan-gers of the street, and the problems prob-lems that he must face for himself him-self without Mother's personal (Continued on Back Page) , TRAFFIC WARNING (Continued from Page One) guidance. For that reason, the danger to the very young is extreme ex-treme at this time of the year." This emphasis on child safe ty the necessity for thorough safety education by both educators educa-tors and parents and the driver's responsibility for child safety is part of the Coordinating and Safety Council's program for this month. "Traffic safety education is not a thing that we can arbitrarily arbi-trarily end with the student's fourth, eighth or twelfth year of foimal education. Adult so-called 'mature" drivers themselves have much to learn about traffic traf-fic safety, so the process is obviously ob-viously a never-ending one. Instruction In-struction early in a child's life, however, will do much to make things safer for him, and in 10 l or 20 ytars when he is of driving driv-ing age, for all of us." Using the slogan, "Set THEM A Good Example", the Cedar Coordinating Co-ordinating and Safety Council hopes to convince all adults that their teachings may mean the difference between life or death for some youngster.
