Chief OF Police Ike Wilson Is trying
to bear out his edict OF no moro Jay
walking" He Instituted school OF
learning right out on the oitys streets
Friday and started his work OF teach
ing the public how 10 properly cross
streets 1t isn't because the people
do not know how In many instances.
the chief says. but because they simply
don: feel that they ought TO do II. and
they therefore never try 10 walk from
one stree, to another as they should.
The streets OF Moundsville are today
dotted with long white lines which In
dictate 70 tho pedestrian just how ne
should cross the streets. AutomooiiiS's
in this city have a hard time on rush
days to keep from injurinS persons who
take up az much OF the street In cross
ing Z as the motor cars. 1t Is the IN
teniion OF Police Chiet Wilson 10 put
4 stop 10 this and seemingly he has the
right cord already pulled. II II doesn't
break before Il gets taut. More power
to the chief Is the version OF the aver
Age citizen.
