SHERIFF CITES TRAFFIC HAZARDS AS SCHOOLS OPEN "Children returning for a new school year pose an additional traffic hazard," Sheriff Edward Dowd, said today. "As drivers and as parents we are doubly obligated to be on the look-out for youngsters." Last year, traffic accidents were on the rise. Unless something is done now, the toll this year will be even higher. One out of every six traffic deaths in 1962 was a pedestrian, with senior citizens and children under 14 being the most vulnerable. "Few people realize that traffic accidents kill more children than any single disease," said the sheriff. "We are determined to make this year a safer one than last. So far this year the pedestrian death rate is exceeding the tragic score of the past." Normally, fall sees a rising traffic accident toll. A reversal of this trend requires the cooperation of all drivers. The opening of the new school year not only puts more children on the streets as pedestrians, but the traffic flow increases considerably. Many young people drive to school and many more pjyents transport their children to and from school. Drivers are, therefore, required to be doubly alert. They have more pedestrians to watch out for, and the traffic is heavier. POST OFFICE TAKES ACTION IN EVENT OF STRIKE Postmaster LeRoy M. Smith announced Wednesday that planes, trucks and buses will be pressed into service to move air and first class mail to its destination and to move other classes of mail within roughly a l ">0-mile radius of McHenry in i lie event of a nationwide rail si rike. However, Postmaster Smith noted that he has received instructions not to accept mailings other than first class, air mail and air parcel post which are destined for points beyond the second parcel post delivery zone, which extends generally about 150 miles from McHenry for the duration of the rail j strike, if it occurs at 11:01 p.m. | Wednesday, Aug. 28. "We are prepared to handle any letter or parcel addressed to any point provided first class or air mail postage is paid on the item," the Postmaster said. But he cautioned that service "'ill be temporarily suspended i second class magazines and f^wspapers, third class matter and fourth class parcel post packages addressed to points Itoyond the second parcel post one - extending 150 miles from he point of mailing - as part •f the national post office contingency plan for operating under a rail strike emergency. TRAFFIC DEATHS Traffic fatalities in Illinois during July totaled 162, an in- <Tease of seven deaths, or 5 per cent, over1 the same month a year ago, Francis S. Lorenz, director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, has announced.
