During the year various pamph¬ lets and articles are sent to the P.T.A.'s over the nation. It is our desire to bring these articles to the parents of tho Huntley Consoh¬ dated Schools District.
To The Parents and The Teach¬ ers: We know that the safety of children is of the utmost impor¬ tance to you. The parents and the teachers are the ones who are with the children the greatest part of the day, therefore are in a posi¬ tion to do the most to teach safety to the children.
Be sure that the children are made aware that Police Officers, Sheriffs. School Bus Drivers, School Patrols and others who have charge of children are al- vvays ready to help. They have the safety of children constantly in their thoughts.
In the use of a bike, proper hand signals should be used, obey all traffic signals and signs, slow down or walk across busy streets, NEV¬ ER carry anyone on your handle¬ bars, ride in a straight line with¬ out weaving, ride single file, DON'T rido out from between parked cars, ride a safe distance from cars, trucks and busses, keep both hands on the handlebars, and never hitch rides.

Commissioners Lawrence and Albrecht were present. Mr. Silas Kelly was present and pre¬ sented the following petition for discussion. The petition was dis- . cussed throughout the meeting and it was decided to not take action on it at this time unfil after its publication so that all people con cerned in the township have a chance to read it and express their opinions as to its content.
Fully understanding that Graf¬ ton Park is a registered and set up as a public park, we neverthe- les,s feel that since it is a town¬ ship park, completely supported by local taxation, and since it is quite small and there is a real possibility of unsanitary conditions developing in the lake water from overuse, we feel that Grafton Park should be developed as a public park mainly for that part of the public that is tho township tesi- dent and local taxpayer.
