Right Turns Restricted
For School Safety
With the opening of school, right
turns will be prohibited at three
heavily travelled intersections
within the City limits. Signs pro
hibitng such turns will be posted
at 16th Street and McDowell Road,
15th Avenue and Osborn and 17th
Avenue and Van Buren. These re
strictions are for the protection of
children from Whittier, Encanto
and Capitol elementary schools.
These intersections were the first
in the City to have the right turn
restriction imposed since the State
Legislature enacted a law in 1953
permitting right turns on red
lights. Local authorities may su
spend the privileges where circum
stances warrant such action.
READ THE SUN
was organized almost 25 years ago.
Since that time Its members have
given over 625,000 hours of volun
teer service and in addition, have
contributed to our community ap
proximately SBO,OOO through pro
jects of various kinds. Os this
amount over $49,000 has been rais
ed by annual rummage sales.
This money has meant the first
free dental clinic in our city; the
first cerebral palsy nursery school
in this area; and the first Sym
phony c:ncerts for youth. It has
paid the salary of a home teacher
for the blind; it finances the re
cording of books for the »blind;
and provides one-fourth of the
budget of the new Child Guidance
Clinic. These and many other
beneficial projects have been made
possible by the generosity of thcfse
who have supported the League’s
money-raising activities.
All money taken in at the Rum
mage Sale is returned to the com
munity in some way. Most of the
receipts of this year’s sale will go
to the Mental Health Association
(for Child Guidance Clinic). Money
will also be spent on the current
League projects, ie., Recording for
the Blind, sponsoring of Girl Scout
troop at Indian School, “Know
Your Community Tours”, Volunteer
Placement Bureau, and trooping
“Children’s Theater” to Valley
schools.
