3D ost oan ~ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 BOYS PATROL _ PROVES WORTH Chicago Now Has 5,000 for i Traffic Duty The proudest "cop" in all Chicago is a 15-year-old boy. His name is Frank Brasseh. Frank is a captain in Chicago's Boy Safety Fatrol. The 'patrol was organized in 1920. It has 5000 members. Its duties are to regulate traffic near schonl buildings and keep children from being hurt. Since it was brought into being in 1920, the patrol has reduced such ac- cidents to school children from an average of 30 a week to less than five a week. Members of the patrol wear badges of bright-colored ribbons. Autoists must heed any man's command. Failure to do so means arrest and a heavy fine. Fach year some member of the patrol is signaled out for services deserving of special recognition. Frank is the lucky boy this year. The board of education has recom- mended that he be given a medal. The chief of police has thanked him and the principal of his school has con- gratulated him. Frank won these distinctions for ex- ceptionally brilliant work with the patrol during 1924 and 1925. The boy patrol idea has spread from Chicago to several other states and cities. In Chicago it has become a perman- ent institution performing an effective piece of co-operation. Regular police drill masters put the patrol through periodic drill and ex- amination. boy patrol- Only honor students high in their studies are eligible to place on the patrol. According to Frank, if autoists would stop, look and listen before stepping on the gas there wouldn't be any accid- ents. "Those fool guys who like to speed cause us all our trouble," he says. "And believe me, we report em and we're tickled to death when the chief soaks them heavy when they appear in court.'
