“Always Give the Kids A Break”
Fond hopes of parents are wrapped up in their children as they go off to school day after day. Perhaps the town’s banker, a famous research scientist, a noted lawyer is in the making; or a future President of the United States. Who knows for sure?
Then, one day, tragic news shatters all such dreams. The child has been cut down by a speeding driver who couldn’t stop in time. Or the youngster was run over by a careless motorist who didn’t allow for the unexpected things a child might do while playing or riding a bicycle.
The extent of these street and highway tragedies snuffing out the lives of promising boys and girls of school age or younger, or inflicting injuries that may cripple them permanently, is something every driver should know and always keep in his heart. In a single year approximately 4,300 school children under 15 are killed and 215,000 are injured. Well over half of them die and an even greater proportion are "hurt when struck by drivers who should be fully prepared for sudden emergencies when children are in the streets.
