Like many another 5-year-old, Tod X. is at the stage between wanting to be a cowboy—but also “seriously”, thinking about going to Mars in his own .space ship.
Tod has never seen a real cowboy, or a horse, or even pictures of a space ship. In fact, Tod has never seen anything. He has been totally blind since birth and doctors say he will never see as long as he lives.
Despite this handicap he lives an almost “normal” life with his mother, father and two older brothers. “Every week my big brothers take me to the stables and I touch the horses.”
Tod goes to the 32nd Street School— lust off Jefferson and Hoover—and is cne of the 120 students at this school who are totally or partially blii^d.
But in some ways he is mor# “fortunate” than the other 550 “normal” children who go to tihis school. A special bus takes him from his home to school and back everyday. Thus, he doesn’t have to take his chances traffic-wise with some Trojan speeding by the school—late for his 9 o’clock.
The 32nd Street School is located in an especially dangerous spot. It touches Jefferson, University, and Hoover, diagonally in different places. And with six
traffic signals within this small area, a grammar school child can easily get confused.
But the 670 students who go to this school are just a part of the picture. The Board of Education estimates that more than 155,000 elementary school children attend schools within a 10 mile radius of SC. Many of these schools are in industrial areas and the students have to cross busy intersections—bucking the early morning traffic.
The police traffic safety department simply does not ha*. J enough guards available to help these children cross the intersections to the more than 270 elementary schools in the SC district. This puts an extra burden on the motorist.
Then, in addition, there are approximately 100,000 junior and senior high school students within this 10 mile area, and many of them walk to school.
Sometimes these students may be even less observant of traffic regulations than the grammar school students. Again this puts an extra burden on the motorist.
Tomorrow morning Tod X will safely get to school and home. But whether thio will be the case for the other 255,000 students in this area depends on YOU. Their lives are in your hands. Tod can’t cee— but you, the motorist, must! PW.

APhiOs are selling the mis-packages of mistletoe for 25 cents a bag th'-s week, according to Warren Williams, ways and means chairman.
Vice president Pete Bramwell thought of the idea to sell mistletoe, and he and Mike brought a carload of it down from the mountains yesterday.
APhiO’s are selling the mistletoe to raise funds for the Walls of Troy, song sheets, the Christmas car pool, and operation Christmas tree to put decorated trees in offices on campus this week.
“The sale of Fortnight magazine subscriptions didn't raise as much money as we hoped,” Williams said, “That’s why we’re sellinjr the nvstletoe.”

Drivers Challenged
The President has challenged American motor ists to get through tomorrow without a fatal traffic accident.
The high traffic toll is the cause of the get-tough policy with traffic violators used by Washington, driver training in high schools, and safe driving campaigns by chambers of commerce and safety councils all over the nation.
Perhaps the role that business is taking in this fight to save lives is a better indication of the seriousness of the problem.
Representatives from General Motors, Chrysler, Packard, and other automotive industries formed the Traffic Safety Association of Detroit. No one paid any attention. Most thought it was just a means of satisfying politicians who were openly talking of limiting the number of cars on the road.
Accidents Lessened
But TSA did more than issue press releases about the “studies” they were making. Statistics reveal how much more they did.

Deadline Set for May by Committee
The Greater University Committee has extended the period for paying pledges to the Walls of Troy fund drive to May 1, Bill Ruch. cochairman of the Walls committee, announced yesterday.
The action followed a recommendation by the Interfraternity Council which complained that former 60-day limit w’as insufficient time for most fraternities to raise 5300.
More Privileges
“Special arrangements for further pledge periods up., to one year may be made by contacting me.” Fred Fagg III, Greater U chairman, added.
The University has agreed to finance the Walls, advancing the money pledged, and will build them within two months.
Any organization wishing to contribute to the Walls must sign a pledge by Friday. Ruch said. Two organizations, not including fraternities and sororities, may jointly donate a section of the Wall.
Plans Contacts
Arrangements for signing a pledge can be made by calling Fred Fagg III, Bill Ruch, or Connie Kirman at RI 2311, extension 367.
The Greater U wrill contact as many fraternities, sororities, and other organizations as possible this week in an effort to solicit pledges.
“We would appreciate it if the organizations would have their replies as to whether or not they will contribute, ready at that time,” Ruch said.
Independents may contribute to the Walls of Troy fund drive through the Independent Men’s and Women's Councils.
