Watch Adult Guards for School Crossings

Mrs. Roberts is training to be a crossing guard, freeing up local police to perform other needed services. She's instructed by a program supervisor, then by a policeman on site at her assigned intersection. There is a lot she'll have to learn. This educational short does leave one burning question unanswered: will all civilian guards be required to wear pearls, white gloves and a pillbox hat on the job, as Mrs. Roberts does? One certainly hopes so. - Dennis Harvey
