Now ach child has an additional 6 ours a day to expose himself o traffic hazards - playing, iding bicycles, exploring, iking and going to and from arks, beaches, swimming pools nd shopping centres. In 1972, according to the On- ario Safety League, 77 destrians and 37 cyclists bet- een the ages of 5 and 14 were Freddy was a friendly flame. He came from a family of good flames. His mother worked in a bakery, and his father helped to run a jet plane. Even his big brother and sister had jobs helping people. But Freddy was still too little to have a job. "Just eat plenty of logs and don't worry," his mother said. But Freddy wanted to do something to help people. One day he saw a car stopped by the side of the road. He leaped into the spark plugs to help. But he was too little to get the car going. Then Freddy tried to help some. people start a barbecue. But the big flames jumped in and pushed him out. Freddy stumbled onto a dead leaf, and the wind picked him up and carried him into the forest. He flut- tered down next to a boy and girl who were lost. They were cold, so Freddy tried to help them start a fire to warm them. But he was still too fatally injured in traffic ac- cidents in Ontario. A further 3,017 pedestrians and 1,656 cyclists were injured. This a tragic record of death and suf- fering. mon during the school years thanks to conscientious teachers and police safety of- ficers. Elmer, the ever popular Safety Elephant, says, "We can't disrupt the safety thought train for the summer months and we won't. The potential of reaching thousands upon thousands of children with a review of my basic traffic safety rules is tremendous and paramount." True to his word, Elmer is working hard this summer, planning and operating his 1,973 Summer Safety Contest, a four-part series combining fun and possible prizes for par- ticipants with a subtle lesson in traffic safety for all along the way. All Ontario newspapers ingEnglish have been asked totlinnate space 4or%one contest =every week for four weeks, beginning the week of July 23. So far, response from editors indicates that this, the 13th operative year of Elmer's Summer Safety Contest, will be the most popular ever. little. Then he remembered something he had seen when he was flying in the air. He burned a tiny path down a pile of dead leaves and on through the forest. The children followed him. Soon they heard their parents calling. Now they were safe, and Freddy danced home proudly to tell his family about his first job. Copyright AVS Technical Services, 1972 Elementary school students must colour the contest entry and indicate the Elmer rule being broken. In Ontario, Elmer is giving away four CCM bicycles each contest and 50 second prizes containing com- bination lock, bell and rear view mirror. The News-Record urges you to get all the kids on the block to study up on Elmer's 6 rules, read them, think about them, remember them, but most of all, use them every day . . . 1. Look all ways before you cross the street. 2. Keep from between parked cars 3. Ride your bike safely and obey all signs and signals. 4. Play your games in a safe place away from the street. 5. Walk when you leave the curb. 6. Where there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. Then watch for Elmer's Con- test. in this newspaper.
