_ Region‘s Block Parents plan agenda ~â€" The back to school paradeé Parades can cause a lot of headaches for the motorâ€" ing public ... particularly if you‘ve forgotten the event and get caught in the accomâ€" panying traffic jam. It‘s frustrating waitingâ€" for all pass by, even more so if you have no interest in the event being herailded. There is one parade held each year, states the Onâ€" tario Safety League, in which we all have an interâ€" est. It‘s the "Annual Backâ€" toâ€"School Parade"". Thouâ€" sands of children across the province participate. They are excited and eager, rowdy and rambunctious, and some, facing the experâ€" ience for the first time, tearful and apprehensive: Is it any wonder that the safety rules many of them have learned are forgotten in the excitement of the moâ€" ment? For the driver, this sudden youthful pedestrian activity means extra care. The backâ€"toâ€"school parade began early Tuesday mornâ€" The Waterloo Regional Block â€" Parent Program Committee would be apâ€" preciative of any considerâ€" ation you may give to events of a newsworthy nature of the following agenda. Your kind support in the past is gratefully acknowledged and we thank you in advance for bringing these matters to the attention of the pubâ€" lic.

A couple of years ago a Swedish group made an interesting study of young pedestrians. While most children, for example, stopâ€" ped at a crossâ€"walk before entering it, the study showâ€" ed that many of them would then run across the road. The study suggested that while they tried to act corâ€" rectly (stopping first), they were unable to take the entire situation in.

Many of the school buses in Ontario will carry an addiâ€" tional warning this year: a red stop sign with two flashâ€" ing lights that swings out from the side when the bus driver stops to load or unâ€" load children. The signs, now used in 42 states in the U.S., will. be used here on a trial basis for a year. According to one bus company spokesman, not only have motorists igâ€" nored flashing lights on the rear of school buses and failed to stop, but some have even passed on the road shoulder.
