Harmon, Superintendent Motorists Urged To Use Caution In School Areas Need for increased driving caution to avoid accidents in volving children who will be starting to school thic week was brought to the attention of motor ists today by Chief C. L. Dowd of the Newberry Police Depart ment. The Police Department is co operating with the Carolina Motor Club in- i|s annual “School’s Open—Drive Carefully” safety program. Special two-color AAA “School’s Open” posters are being displayed at street locations to remind motorists. “Hundreds of children will be walking the streets to and from schools, many for the first time,” Chief Dowd explained. “While police and School Safety Patrols help to protect children from traffic at many crossings, some children will be crossing at un protected corners,” he continued. “In addition, enthusiastic youngsters are apt to dart out into the street at any point, per haps in front of an approaching automobile. The best rule for motorists to follow, particularly when driving in school areas, is to travel at a speed which will allow for stopping suddenly to avoid hitting a child who runs in front of the car,” Chief Dowd suggested. He urged parents to help their children determine a “safest route to school” by talking to the teachers who locate School Patrol boys and girls at dangerous traf fic corners, and then walking with their child along the sug gested route to be sure it is/the best and safest way to and from school. “The selected route should have the most traffic control de vices, such as signals, stop signs, etc., and corners watched over by Safety Patrol members,” he added.
