He discussed several safety precautions. Students should not jay walk anywhere on the streets; they should cross the streets at the right places and cross only on green lights. When ridiig bicycles, students should ride in single file, and ride close to the curb so that other traffic can pass easily. The Constable talked to us for half an hour and it was very interesting. All students, and especially Hugh John Macdonald students, should try to obey the safety rules about which he talked. By Mervin A ' .W.
