tioned last week in a letter from
School Superintendent William f
Zahradnicek to the City Council.
Zahradnicek complained that
15 to 18 dogs arrive at the school
playground every morning be
tween 8:30 and 9:00 and most of
them stay all day. Several chil
dren have been bitten—by the
dogs—and the school superin
tendent asked the Council to look
into the matter and institute ap
propriate measures commensura'e
with the children’s safey.
certain vehicles are exempt from
registering. These exceptions cov
er any vehicles which are driven
or moved upon a highway only
for the purpose of crossing such
highway from one property to
another, and any implement of
husbandry which is only inci
dentally operated or moved upon
a highway.

the PTA skating rink so that it

heavy fall of snow the following
day had hidden their handiwork i
and blocked skating activities j

SCHOOL BUS GOES OFF
TRACK ON NARROW ROAD
Children on the tail end of the
Bus 1 route had a bit of excite
ment last week Tuesday when
their bus slipped off the narrow
road just beyond the Matanuska
turn-off as Rev. Geiwitz got over
a little too far to let an approach
ing motorist pass.
The new fallen snow had ob
literated demarkations of the
road’s right hand limits, and the
two right wheels slipped about
eight or ten inches off the road.
The steep bank there prevented
Rev. Geiwitz from putting his
chains on. so he had to phone Ed
Christensen to send another bus
to pull him out.
No one was hurt, but the chil
dren from the Experiment Sta
tion and the Curtis home didn't
get home until near dinner time.
