usclfe ploy is no accident There is also always the need to instill safety and vital health principles at all levels. A great degree of emphasis is placed upon safety conciousness in sports, in the home and car, and as a pedestrian-for avoiding bodily injury is one of the keys to good health. Audio-visual aids in the form of motion pic- tues, slides, and tapes which accent safety are a regular part of the continuous day-in, day-out training in health and safety. Occa- sional field trips to local police and fire de- partments serves to further accentuate the need for safety conciousness. Safe play is no accident! Children have to be trained to be safe. Abiding by the rules of any game or sport not only assures enjoyable play but also a more safe game. Accidents are the result of improper knowledge or use of equipment and rules, or by careless and thoughtless action. Being aware of the rules, alert to the action, and thinking ahead of the game are good accident preventatives. Stud- ents are taught rules and skills by example and by doing. They come to understand the right use of equipment whether a ball, bat, base, rope, etc., and the possible conse- quences of improper use of these things. They are disciplined to be alert. With dili- gence, consistent training and careful super- vision, accidents are avoided.

K K i I ndu gr swEi?ierg'CdMl iq Wendi, Deqnn '4Safety was the theme presented to the elementary school by Officer Mon- toya, a member of the Pasadena Police Department for five years. Officer Montoya stressed several important points which the students should follow at all times: 1. Always walk on the sidewalk and keep off private property. 2. Cross at crosswalks and at corners but never in the middle of a busy street. 3. NEVER talk to strangers! Don't accept anything from strangers, whether it be candy or money. Never accept rides or get into a car to give directions. 4. Bicycles should always be kept in proper working order and should not be ridden with faulty equip- ment. Front lights and a rear re- flector are necessary for night riding. Always remember the traf- fic laws concerning a bicycle are the same as the laws concerning a car. 5. Every bicycle should have a license to help identify your bike in case of loss or theft. If you have a serious accident while riding your bike, the license will enable the police to locate your parents. 6. Remember that sidewalks are for pedestrians. Although roller skat- ing and skateboarding are legal you must always yield to pedes- trians.

2 T W ' -:-.Mes-I' .. ' lit ss fsggm LQ T i ing Knowledge Hatching Peeps The second grade class, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Colby, studies the process of life development. Fertile eggs of duck, pheasant, or chick- en are obtained and placed in an incu- bator that will hold 12 eggs. Incubation requires a warm moist atmosphere of lO3O F. which their thermostatically con- trolled incubator provides. After 36 hours of incubation an egg is opened to allow the students to see the tiny question-mark shaped embryo using its newly developed circulatory system. Furtherembryonic development is observed by the class by opening eggs on other days. They are able to see the formation of the eyes, leg and wing buds and finally the chick itself. After full incubation the remaining chicks hatch, The students make a small running pen in which the chicks can be observed by all. Then they write reports of what they have learned in the hatching of an egg. After two weeks of observation a student takes the chicks home to care for and raise.
