TJncle Gil's Fan Mail Dear Uncle Gil: It was through one of your re presentatives, in the person of Mrs. Mitchell, that I first learned of your little Guidit© club. In a very interesting manner she related its value and urged mo to permit my little one to become a member. To this I agreed as well as promised my full support to the Omaha Guide, so that my little one might be able to keep up with the very interesting page edjited by you. I was very much impressed with the first meeting held last iSaturday, for the interesting talk made on the object of this club which assur ed, that with the cooperation of the parents, it will prove to be very beneficial and enlightening to our youth, and an asset to the com munity in which we live. LET’S GIVE THE LITTLE GUIDITES A HELPING HAND. Yours truly, O. Billingsley Dear Uncle Gil: My little sister and I were glad to see our names in the paper as members of the Guidite club.

G. B. Lennox The passing of winter means that our highways are again crowd pc! with automobile traffic. The teaching of refety offers many practical suggestions. The approach of spring again focuses our atten tion on outdoor accidents and also •brings to our minds, to review the study of street and highway safety, and the emphasis unplaced on the seriousness of the automobile acci dent problem. Motor vehicles, ac cidents in 1935 amounted to 36, 400 fatalities. 10,500 were perman ently* injured and there were 118, 00 temporary disabilities. To help avoid thlese calamities and these conditions simple rules for safety and street highway's must be fol lowed : 1. Watch and obey the traffic signals. 2. Obey the traffic officer—he is your friend. 3. Play on the ground or on the sidewalk—never in the streets. 4. Avoid doing the three things whidh cause mlost accidents to children; darting out into the (streets; .running from behind parked cam; failure to wait until the road is clear. 5. Face front when getting off a street car. 6. Obey traffic regulations when riding a bicycle 7. Choose safe hiils for coasting —never slide where there is traf fic. 8. Never walk or play on rail road tracks or trestles. 9. Hold your umbrella high on rainy days. This safeguards child .ren to and from school.
