Helvetia School pupils protected themselves and also made me smile

From Penny Kent.
WAITING for the traffic lights to turn green the other day, I happened to notice something which gave me a real lift.
Children at Helvetia School were playing happily in the garden in the heat of the very hot day, and they were all wearing uniform blue legionnaire-style hats to protect themselves from sunburn.
I, like so many others, am consumed with frustration with many local current affairs, but this sight hit me as being one of the most common sense and responsible acts I have seen for a very long time, and for the rest of the day I felt less angry.
Full marks to Helvetia School, and to any other schools and organisations who do the same.
Also during that afternoon I remembered something else that never fails to lighten my mood, and that is the electronic device which appears on the roadside from time to time to indicate to motorists their speed at that point, followed by a smiley face if your speed is within the relevant limit, and a sad face if you are breaking the law.
How wonderfully simple and, in my view, effective. It seems to me that there is only one, and it is moved from place to place. Why do we not have more of these devices?
