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. Mo
ther says we must be good children
to stay on tho membership roll; so1
we are trying to be the very best
wo can. We both can say this little
uursery rhyme, and we think may
be you would like to hear it.
Mary! Mary! my pretty Mary,
What makes our red check*
glow?
With rest each day, and outdoor
pday,
And early to bed I go.

Dear Uncle Gil:
Misses Dorothy Graves, Vera
Booth and Hortense Pitts are plan
ning to give a theatrical party. It
promises to be very interesting.
There are eight boys and eight
girls invited. The boys are
to choose their girls as fol
lows: The girls will get behind
p. screen and change shoes. Then
the boys will pick a partner by her
shoes. On leaving the theater the
party will go to Miss Pitts’ house
for food and games. All of these
girls are Guidites and when a
Guidite does a thing it is always
well done

Accident Facts and
. Safety Teaching .
By I)r. 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.
IT PAYS TO OBSERVE!!!

We arc* waiting for you love—
As the sweet May breezes blow—
Watching shadows of the river—
As they flit both to and fro.
Wo have come see the lovelight—
Dancing in your eyes anew,
And to hoar you sweetly saying,
That you will ever be true.
