Show Do Hot Park On School Grounds For Safety Sake ; There are signs at the Delta school grounds, saying "Cars Keep Out, 8 a. m. to 4 p. m." But up to date they are not being heeded , and they should be. The s!,ins were placed there as a safety measure, to prevent accidents. ac-cidents. They are approved by State Highway Patrolman Sher -wood, Merritt Floyd, in charge of school buses, and the schools. Every school day there are 900 children circulating on the school grounds when school opens in the mornings and is out in the afternoon, after-noon, 500 in the high school and 400 in the elementary school. Six school buses roll in to unload child reri before school and again in the afternoon to pick them up. At the same time cars pull onto the grounds, south of the high school sch-ool and west of the grade school, bring children. The drivers, mostly mothers it is reported, disregard the signs. It is solely to avoid accidents that the signs were put up, and the school earnestly asks the public pub-lic to cooperate. Cars may be parked par-ked at the sidewalks, but not on the school grounds between 8 a.m. and 4 p. m. |
