School l.s over and the* streets
are full of children. In their en
thusiasm over their liberty they
arc playing hall and riding hikes
and wagons on the streets for lack
of a bettor place to play.
It Is our misfortune not to have a
central location for a playground,
hut as the weather warms up more
of' the children will gather at the
swimming hole through the day.
There is plenty of open space there
to play any kind and number of
games. If we only had some kind
of volunteer organization to keep
them busy and safe, how wonder
ful it. would be.
With the rapid increase of the
school population it is plain to see
that we must he thinking ahead |
and prepare before many years for <
decent playgrounds.
In the meantime, our children
are on the streets and aR motor
ists have the great responsibility
of ever watchful driving in town.
Mr. Puckett and the City police
are watchful, but they cannot be
everywhere at once, so it becomes
the duty of every pedestrian, par
ent and careful driver to report the
few reckless and speeding drivers
who may be on the streets.
Lets all he diligent to prevent
accidents this summer.
