GIFT IDEA—A simple apron
of cotton huck toweling
gains interest with a hand-
some border of Swedish em-
broidery. Colored thread is
run under the raised threads
in the weave of the toweling
to create an intricate-looking
design. By Startex, the tow-
eling is available in 16 col-
ors as well as white.

responsible does not automatically
shift responsibility to the motorist.
Our impulsive, humanitarian sym-
pathy for the youthful victim does
not justify placing the blame on
someone who is truly blameless.
I hits, a motorist is ordinarily not
liable for running down the child
who darts out suddenly from be-
hind a parked car. For there is
nothing to give the motorist fair
warning of what is to come.
Hut there are many circum-
stances which should put the motor-
ist on a special alert. An obvious
example is the presence of a child
in the street. The motorist should
not assume, even if he blows his
horn, that the child will promptly
and prudently retreat to the side-
walk.
Even if there is no child in sight,
other telltale signs may cry caution.
For example:
In one case, the fact that a ball
bounced into the street was held
good reason for an oncoming mo-
torist to expect that a child might
follow.
In another case, a posted notice
of “CHILDREN AT PLAY" was
held sufficient to call for extra
careful driving.
It is true that this special rcspon
sihility on the motorist, when chil-
dren arc in sight or in prospect,
has a tendency Io slow the move-
ment of traffic.
But it is also true that cars arc
killing thousands of our youngsters
every year. The law is willing to
slow the traffic, to slow the slaugh-
ter.

Rare is the parent, and rare is
the motorist, who has not been
haunted by the vision of a child
darting out in front of an oncom-
ing automobile. Yet, tragically,
such accidents are anything but
rare.
If a child is injured or killed in
this manner, who bears the legal
responsibility?
In a sense the child himself is at
fault, since he “took the initiative"
in causing the accident. But the law
adjusts its standard of care to fit
the age of the individual. In most
of these darting-out cases, the child
is too young to be tagged with the
label of negligence.
Yet, the fact that the child is not
