Speeding In School Area
Speeding near the school has
been noted by several people, pre
senting a hazard to children going
and returning from school.
It doesn’t seem likely that it’s
a matter of life and death for a
driver of a speeding car to get
where he wants to go by a given
time, but it turns out to be a
matter of life and death when the
little tots walk the road he is
What makes it even more haz
traveling on.
ardous is that there are so many
of the little tots, some kindergar
ten and many first graders who are
walking the roads at all hours of
the day. The first graders get out
of school about 3 p.m. There is
only a lapse of a few hours when
these tots are not on the streets.
All we can say to these drivers
of speeing cars: “You had a chance
to grow up. Give these tots a
chance, too.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
The Charity Ball held in the
National Guard Armory Sunday,
Sept. 4 by the Ladies Auxiliary to
Veterans of Foreign Wars Katmai
Post 7056 was very successful. It
was wonderful to see so many
young people there for their
“regular” back-to-school dance. We
would like to thank all the towns
people for coming, also.
All help we received was deeply
appreciated, especially with the
ticket selling. The music by Larry
Adair and his TwLLights was en
joyed by an attendance of nearly
three hundred.
We would like to thank all the
ladies that helped on the commit
tees and at the dance. They were
Mrs. Kenneth Klockenbrink, Mrs.
Burl Clymer, Mrs. James Garou
ette and Mrs. Margaret Norem.

President,
