4. Walking and playing (children) on the road with little con­cern for approaching traffic.

5. Wearing the proper coloured clothing at night. White is a good colour to wear as it can be easily seen at night.Strict adherence to the above

suggestions will ensure safe travel for both drivers and ped­estrians .

SAFETY 2. Dashing in front of approach-ing c a r s .As this issue is being pro-

duced by the pupils of the senior room of Cassiar Elementary School, it is fitting that this column discuss traffic precautions near the school. At the outset may we remind everyone that both drivers and pedestrians have equal re- sponsibilities in preventing ac- cidents

The drivers of motor vehicles can prevent accidents by paying careful attention to the following hazards:

1. Obscured vision due to snow and snow banks.

2. Icy road conditions.3. Speed limits - 15 mph in

school zones.4. Small children playing along

the roadside.5. Bicycle traffic.6. Obscured vision due to the

failure of cleaning windshield and all other car windows.Pedestrians can fulfill their

responsibilities by consideringthe following hazards.

1 . Failing to walk on the correct side of the road which is the left hand side.
