This city has taken every pre
caution for the protection of its
school children. School grounds
arc surrounded by traffic lights,
a school patrol is on duty, trucks
have been re-routed to by-pass
the school block, every known
fire detection device has been
installed. What more can we do?
IT HAS BEEN REPORTED
that motorists are disobeying the
law which forbids the passing of
a stopped school bus. This may
be in ignorance of the law or in
sheer carelessness. Residents will
recall the tragic accident on the
Palmer road last year which
took the life of a school child
that had just left a school bus.
We have had more than enough
motor accidents in this area in
the past few months. Let's not
have another which could be
prevented by the exercise of a

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard
All of Jesse Lee Home, and es
pecially the boys’ building, were
sorry to see Mrs. Mona Adam
son leave last Friday. Her son,
Major Norman Adamson of El
mendorf AFB, flew down from
Anchorage and took her back
witli him. After a visit with her
grandchildren there, Mrs. Adam
son plans to return to her home
in Washington. The staff and
children arc in hopes that she
will miss us so much that she
will have to come back, but since
we can't contradict doctor’s or
ders, we do not build anticipa
tion tco high.
Mrs. Adamson, who was not a
newcfjmer to Alaska when she
came to Jesse Lee, took over the
boys’ nursery last June and in
September transferred to relief
housemother in the boys’ build
ing, where she “mothered” all
the boys from the oldest to the
youngest.
This has been a busy week for
the girls and boys, for in be
tween school activities they have
been choosing and wrapping
