Gilman on the orchard near Anaheim, but for some months a resident of Allegheny, Pa., had a bad accident befall him a few days ago.

DO YOUNG TO DIE! DO YOUNG TO DIE! When epidemic strikes and takes its sudden and deadly count of the young, it tears at our heartstrings for there is so little we can do about it. Much tragedies may occur once in a year or two. But the highway toll of young innocents produces a casualty list every day, year after year. There is much we can do about it, for we are responsible. In one year 4,300 young lives are snuffed out, over 200,000 injured and claimed for life. Three out of every four of these lives sacrificed to carelessness are from 5 to 14 years of age. Too young to die! School safety patrols are holding down the casualties of children going to or coming from school. Two out of three are killed while outside of school supervision. That's the big reason why it's up to you, Mr. and Mrs. Driver, to protect little children. Be alert for the unpredictable actions of youngsters at play, crossing streets, chasing balls and riding bikes. Little ones are thoughtless of danger; perhaps, too, they trust grown folks to guard them. Don't be the one to carry on your conscience the life of a child. Slow down, be alert where children may be at your mercy. SLOW DOWN—LIVES ARE IN YOUR HANDS! INTEREST OF SAFER DRIVING BY THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE
