"Last year 3,535 bicyclists were injured and 11 killed in traffic accidents on California streets and highways," declared Capt. H. W. Null, commander of the Anaheim area office of the Patrol. "As the weather becomes warmer more children will be riding bicycles, many of them unaware of the hazards of today's traffic." "The increase in traffic each year calls for continued alertness to the bicycle problem by every driver and parent," Capt. Null stated. "Parents are urged to teach their children by word and example the rules of the road. They should assure themselves that their sons and daughters know and will obey all the applicable traffic laws." "Drivers must also remember that children are apt to do the unexpected, whether walking or riding a bicycle," he concluded. "Only full cooperation by every adult will help us control the traffic accident problem involving children on bicycles."

Gold Rush School Being Restored as Historic Landmark Gold Rush School begins to come alive as workmen reconstruct the nearly 100-year old Columbia School located in the heart of the Mother Lode country near Sonora. The sum of $36,500, comprised of pennies, nickels and dimes proudly contributed by the school children of California, was transferred by the California Teachers Association to the State of California Division of Beaches and Parks to start restoration of this historic pioneer school. Reconstruction was started in the late fall to prevent further crumbling of the foundation and walls of the building. Work is now well under way, with new foundations in place. The goal is $100,000, the total amount needed for this project, which is sponsored by the CTA. Many artifacts were uncovered under the building and under the large, worn original floor boards. The workmen found such things as handmade ink bottles, lunch boxes, parts of old schoolbooks and other items of historical interest. A small model of the red brick schoolhouse, built to scale by a curator of the Historic Columbia State Park, Jack Bhend, is being carefully studied by Orvel Johnson of the State Division of Architecture, supervisor of the project. Every detail of the two-story building will be restored exactly as it was in the days of the '49ers' when the voices and laughter of pupils echoed throughout the schoolhouse. Anson Boyd, State Architect, visited Columbia last week to view the progress of the school restoration. He is personally interested in this project and in the entire Columbia restoration program. The Native Sons of the Golden West, endorsing the project to restore the Mother Lode landmark, are now helping the children in their proud endeavor to create a memorial to pioneer education in Columbia, California's fabu- Warned of Speed Limits Violations of speed regula- by drivers of passenger cars ling trailers or other ve- and light trucks towing tare increasing, according to formation released today by California Highway Patrol.

Boy Graduates May Enlist in Marine Corps A new "reservation" system for deferred active duty with the Marines, open to male high school students, has just been announced by the Marine Corps Recruiting office in Santa Ana. Under this "reservation" system, a high school student who will be graduated in June may enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve during the months of April, May or June. He will remain in the inactive reserve until graduation, and will then be assigned to active duty for two or three years on any date he specifies between graduation and a date not later than 120 days after his enlistment. For example: a student who enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve on April 10, and was graduated on June 14, could select any date for commencing active duty during the period between June 14 and August 10. According to MSgt. John C.
