Harstine Island Bus Driver Starts 16th Year Without an Accident
l litchcock, our school bus driver,
is now martins his sixteenth year
on the bus route, all of it is on
Harstine. And all we parents are
very much comforted by the
thought that John has driven over
22,000 miles and never had an ac-
cident of any kind.
,/OLIN ItAS LIVED on the Is-
land for nearly 50 years, coming
here with his parents in 1910 from
Tacoma. He has spent most of the
years here except for brief pe-
riods, schooling in Portland, and
By l)onette (;laser to drive every day in the bus. In ing the future generations of par- land people who would
HARSTINE ISLAND -- John all these years he has been very ents, scholars, selwice men and
a short time as instructor of the
Skokomish Indian Reservation,
and he worked in the Tacoma ship
yards during the war. One of the
first persons on the Island to en-
ter into the chicken business,
which became quite an industry
for many.
John was married in 1924 to
Beulah Whaley of Agate. They
have two children, Mrs. Paulene
Carnes of Des Moines and Lyle of
Olympia and their home is graced
with five lovely grandchildren. He
has been a member of the Har-
stine Grange for over 35 years,
being a member of The Agate be-
fore Harstine was organized and
active all this time in various
Grange and Community affairs.
He began driving the school bus
in 1943 and is, as we said, enter-
ing his 16th year. The Island has
a new bus this year, and believe
me John is sure pleased with it.
The old discarded bus traveled
140,000 miles before it gave up
the ghost. Although the roads are:
in much better condition now than
ever before it is still a rough road

fortunate, or lucky or else is one
datm good bus driver because he
ever has had the slightest acci-
dent. During this time he has seen
a good many children enter and
leave the bus, faithfully working
their way through the grades of
our small school and on into the
Shelton system to graduate. He
has seen some go on to colleges,
some into the service, and return
and marry and have families of
their own, many of these second
generation are now on John's bus
women and what ever they may
choose to be. Yours is a very im-
portant part of any community
and we, as parents, are sure glad
that you and your wife live in ouz
community so we may send our
children safe and sound to school,
knowing they are in the best of
hands.
The Harstine Island Women's
Club will meet at the hall on
Thursday the 24 of September.
The ladies are asked to bring their
rummage for the sale, which will
and are his most faithful admir, be held at the P.U.D. building on

Police Chief
Asks Cooperation
Child safety in traffic is a
three-way proposition, Chief Paul
Htnton of the Shelton Police De-
partment said this week.
"THE SAFETY of children on
the streets and highways of am-
city and state is dependent on the
traffic attitudes and actions of
three groups .... parents, motor-
ists, and children themselves," he
said.
Schools are doing a fine job of
teaching safety in the classrooms
from kindergarten on up, tie
potnted out, and in many cases
also are conducting driver educa-
tion courses which give high
school students practical experi-
ence behind the wheel.
"But if the program to save our
children from injury and death in
motor vehicle accidents is to be
really effective," he said, "it must
be carried beyond the classroom."
Parents must set p. good exam-
pie to children in their traffic
habits, the Chief explained, and
must use the authority and disci-
pline of the home to instill in
children respect and obedience to
traffic safety les.
"CHILDREN lACK the mature
judgment of adults, however," he
said, "and even with the best
training, their actions sometimes
are unpredictable. So it is up to
the motorist to be especially alert
near schools and playgrounds, in
residential areas and any place
children may be expected to gath-
er."
And the children'themselves al-
so must do the best they can to
walk and play safely, obsezwing
the miles they have learned at
home and in school, he declared.
"Child safety can be a reality
only tf all three groups work to
bring it about," he asserted.

Coach George Hermes, back in Elma after a laps(; of 3

for a successful season.
The Shelton coach, Walt Hakola, is badly ill need of a
capable tackle to fill out his '39 gridiron squad. With Don
Satra to fill one post, Hakola is giving a thorough going over
to the rest of the husky team to find the man to do the job.

Police Chief
Asks Cooperation
Child safety in traffic is a
three-way proposition, Chief Paul
Htnton of the Shelton Police De-
partment said this week.
"THE SAFETY of children on
the streets and highways of am-
city and state is dependent on the
traffic attitudes and actions of
three groups .... parents, motor-
ists, and children themselves," he
said.
Schools are doing a fine job of
teaching safety in the classrooms
from kindergarten on up, tie
potnted out, and in many cases
also are conducting driver educa-
tion courses which give high
school students practical experi-
ence behind the wheel.
"But if the program to save our
children from injury and death in
motor vehicle accidents is to be
really effective," he said, "it must
be carried beyond the classroom."
Parents must set p. good exam-
pie to children in their traffic
habits, the Chief explained, and
must use the authority and disci-
pline of the home to instill in
children respect and obedience to
traffic safety les.
"CHILDREN lACK the mature
judgment of adults, however," he
said, "and even with the best
training, their actions sometimes
are unpredictable. So it is up to
the motorist to be especially alert
near schools and playgrounds, in
residential areas and any place
children may be expected to gath-
er."
And the children'themselves al-
so must do the best they can to
walk and play safely, obsezwing
the miles they have learned at
home and in school, he declared.
"Child safety can be a reality
only tf all three groups work to
bring it about," he asserted.
