Was disappointed in the
number that turned out for
the blood drive Saturday.
For those of you who plain
forgot about it, you can still
go to the Wadley Center in
Denton and give blood in the
name of the Sanger
Community Blood Drive.

Just a gentle reminder to
those folks who have moved
z lately or who are planning to
move. Please remember to
give us your change of
address. It cost us 25 cents
everytime we have to “buy"
your address from the Post
Office. This does not apply
I to those people in Sanger
I who are having their
addresses changed by the
Post Office. We will be
supplied with those address
changes free of charge.
It will NOT be necessary
for subscribers who have
their address changed by
the Post Office to notify us.
• . • * ♦
We have made cracks in
our column about the post
office being slow but always
in fun. We have another one.
Even the postmaster is slow.
He showed up to give blood
just as the blood mobile was
pulling away from the
elementary school Saturday.

“POLLY AND CHARLIE”-The Friendship

last Friday at the First Baptist Church. Polly
Plummer and Charlie Pabst performed for
the group. They also performed at the

Denton last week. The pari frequently
provide entertainment for area nursing

Start of Area Schools
Increase Threat of Accidents
As nearly three million
Texas students return to
public, private, and paro
chial schools, the threat of
traffic accidents has in-
creased.
Ken Nevil, administrator of
the Office of Traffic Safety,
said, "During 1975, 562
persons under the age of 18
were killed in traffic
accidents. This represents
an increase of nearly five
percent over the previous
year."
Nevil said many motorists
are acutely aware of the
dangers during the first few
days of school but many then
forget the hazards as time
passes.
Calling attention to the im-
passive attitudes by some
drivers, Nevil said, “These
school aged youngsters are
in their prime and nearing
the threshold of adulthood.
But, the pathetic killing of
these students removes
their chances to be pro-
ductive citizens.”
“We are continuing
Ranger Kit Program, which t
allows students to partici-
pate in about ten hours of
instruction on traffic safety.
Additionally, we are deve-
loping other classroom
packages relating to bicycle,
pedestrian, and passenger
safety.
By working with elemen-
tary level students, we think
we can develop attitudes
that will remain ..positive
during their formative
years. We trust many of
these behaviors will be
