SAFETY CLUB
he “Just Kids” Safety Club idea was originated by Ad Carter, the Evening Journal’s famous cartoonist and creator of the daily comic strip entitled “Just Kids.”
Each boy and girl cut the application blank from the Evening Journal, filled it in, giving name, address, age, proposed by parent or adult and endorsed by boy or girl friend.
The sole purpose of this constructive work was to prevent accidents, save lives, make “Kids” more careful.
Every club member was cautioned to: “Remember to look up and down before crossing the street.”
A total of 413,743 applications to the “Just Kids” Safety Club were received and every member obtained a “Just Kids” Safety Club button.
