Accidental hazards are being oreated
by cars driven across the sehool play
grounds during the times that children
are using this cramped* inadequate play
area.* They bhould not be driven helter

Neitnar should citizens us© the play
ground fcr a parking loti Certain people
make this an habitual practice# parking
th85r cars between the Tally ball stakes
thereby crowding the bu3 right-of-way#

mis sort baseball* free football# or the
bus as it crowds around thorn# the cry of

from the guilty and cause trouble and

really be? We think it becomes the de
finite fault of the trespassing oar owner

Using the playground as a truck short
cut is inviting sorrow* Sooner or later

the way of some such vehicle# Sorrow will
be justified but that*s NOT ENOUGH, Keep
