Mrs. T* Your Co-Operation As your Council we feel great­ ly disappointed in the citizens of Exeter. The cry has been all fall “What is the Council doing to protect the school ing the highway school?”, On September had the co-operation of the pub­ lic school principal. He met the Council and outlined some safety measures, whereby greater pro­ tection could be offered to the children going to school. At that time signs for this purpose were ordered, also arrangements were made to have a safety program for parents and children spon­ sored by the Department at a cost of $12.00 to cover our part of the expense plus the rent of the Arena which was $8.00. This program was advertised in the local paper for several weeks. On Friday of last week there were three showings and talks on safety, and the response of our citizens of Eketer was the grand total of one parent! We had our school safety signs, which for one whole week were placed at their proper place on the side of the street , , . It made no difference to the speed of the traffic whatever. The fol­ lowing week the signs were placed in the centre of the road . , , Considerable difference could be noticed >but speeding was prevalent. The children had been structed to walk between white lines we had painted on the street and we have received the co-operation of the children. At ' ' signs toria signs signs take note. We- your Council ask operation of the citizens ter as we feel we have do our part.
