Every child in town feels
that it is his personal right and
privelege to .try out his sled
on any likely looking slope. The
j streets this month make every
I slope or even level spots con
ducive to sliding, whether on
sleds or walking, as many of us
know to our sorrow. But the
children pay no heed to traffic
hazards. All they can see is
the good spot to slide. Cross
streets, alleys, blind curves
mean nothing to the child on a
sled.
Therefore it is up to the driv
ers of cars to be on the contin
ual look out for the children.
Three streets have been set
aside for their use. Second Ave
nue from Adams down to the
bay, Second Avenue from Mad
ison toward the lagoon, and
Madison Avenue from Fifth to
the railroad. Many children are
gathering on these streets, but
others are also using the slopes

and streets closer to home. Al
though the Police Department
has set red lanterns at the be
ginning and end of the restrict-'
ed streets, motorists must be
very careful at the crossings.
The street may appear perfectly
clear, but when half way over,
a sled comes streaking out of
the dark right under a car. I
nearly had heart failure one
night this week when that hap
pened, and I've heard others
speak of the same kind of inci-:
dent. j|
With the increase in the num
ber of cars on the streets, the
business of sleigh riding in town
is becoming a real problem.
Chief Clark suggests that
Hagen’s hill, back of the swim
ming hole, would make an ideal
toboggan run, and a safe place
for children to sled. If such a
place were provided, then the
streets could be prohibited and.
there would be less to worryJ
all round.
Parents of children no doubt
warn them about watching for
cars, but even the most watch
ful occasionally grow careless,
or heedless in the excitement of
good sledding. It seems a good
idea to me, that parents get to
gether on the proposition of
Hagen’s hill road or some other
one, before we have a serious
accident or one of the children
is killed. It can be done, and
should be done before it is too
late.
A1 and Georgia Shetterly, op
erators of the Homer Cafe and
Club, and Art Pedersen, also of
Homer, drove in from that Cook
Inlet town Thursday. They re
port the road is in good condi
tion, having made the trip in
five and a half hours.
•Sid Urie received a letter this
week from a 12-year-old reporter
for a Stateside high school news
paper. The youthful news gath

the world Sid ever had Christ
mas trees shipped to Alaska!
Jones' legal expense had been
running high, so when he met
his lawyer on the street, he said.
“Nice day, isn’t it? Remember,
I’m not asking you, I'm telling
you.”
