A Timely Message To Parents
CLINTON AREA, and the GmelPh-
l3reslau area had tragic accidents this
Past Weekend. 13oth were similar i that
they happened at railway bridges.
We reprint below a release from the
Public relations department of the Nat-
ional Safety League of Canada. The
release, requesting that May 3 be ob-
served as "Child Safety pay" possibly
could not have prevented the two child-
ren's death, but we hope parents take
some heed of the warning,
"Can heartbreak be any greater
than when we watch the needless suffer-
ing or death of an innocent child?" ask-
ed P. G. McLaren, general manager of
the National Safety League of Canada.
Mr. McLaren called attention to the
nation's one-day campaign to alert ev-
eryone to the need for protecting and
guiding children through the menaces of
modern-day existence,
"Child Safety Day," he said, "will
be observed from coaSt to coast on Sun-
day, May 3, We hope it will bring to
all parents a full realization of their
deep responsibility to eliminate needless
agony and death among Canada's young"
seers, not only for a single day, but ev-
ery day, every minute of every year,"
In the one-to-14-year age group, he
pointed out, accidents clairned more lives
than the four leading diseases combined.
"Most of this need not be," he said. "If
we take the simple precautions of teach-
ing children safety when they are young,
and learning, ourselves, to be wary of
children as they play their carefree way
through the early years, the record can
improve.' He called on all Canadians to
make May 3 the day to begin training
themselves and their children to 'live
longer and to enjoy the added years
that training can bring.
Another Warning To Our Children
HERE ARE three words that could
save a child's life: "WALK, DON'T
RUN!" Accident statistics show an ap-
palling number of tragedies caused by
children running into the path of a
car (usually from between parked ve-
hides). The Ontario Safety League ap-
peals to parents to teach their child-
ren, by constant repetition, that they
must never run onto a roadway. Walk,
don't run! Walk, don't run! Walk, don't
run!
