JAMES J. CURTIN
Park Superintendent

Any aid that the park depart ment can offer to make the bicycle safety league campaign of the Wa terbury Democrat a success Is available. I feel 1t Is high time that we recognized the danger than accompanies operation of bi- cycles today, particularly on our busy streets and highways.
 ''While the parks are always open to the public and to cyclists, we do feel that too many boys have a tendency to overlook the fact that others besides them- selves enjoy the various features of Waterbury's park system, We have elderly people who like to stroll along the paths and who don't enjoy jumping out of the way of careening bicycles.
 Therefore I urge that cyclists use the roads or paths marked out for such traffic in the parks and keep away from places where they are bound to be In the way and to cause vexation to others.
 "T know that this safety cam palgn is going to bring home a lot of valuable lessons to the young sters of Waterbury and l want to express my approval of the idea. After all the bicycle riders of to- day are the automobile drivers of tomorrow and If they don't learn the lesson of safe driving and con- sideratlon for the other fellow now, they'll overlook 1t later on In life"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-03

Let me say that am heartily In favor oi The Waterbury Demo. crat's Bicycle Safety league cam- paign. Any movement that Is dee signed to promote safety on our city streets Is going to have the fullest cooperation of my depart ment.
 "WhiIe most of our work In the past and that planned for the fu- ture deals principally with the motorist and m0tor.car, must say that the increasing number of bicycles being operated around city streets is becoming more of Q problem al of the time. I feel that thls safety campaign to be con- ducted here during the week of September 13 will be an answer Co the problem. I also urge ell youngsters and their fathers and mothers to cooperate In making lt Slccessful campaign.
 "The cyclist Is . hazard on our streets today unless he or she Is observing all the trafiic laws. Too many boys ignore the red lights or 90 through stop signs this put ting all the responsibility for serty on the approaching motOrist. We've got to show boys and girls how dangerous this is. We've also got to show them that bicycles improperly equipped are . menace Co safe operation"

EDDIE BYRNES STAR OF CAMP
South Elm Street Lad Ex. cells on Track at Palmer
 Boys Site

Camp Palmer on the Housatonic river in Oxford closed last week after one of its most successful sea- sons in history. The final track meet brought ou the merits of Eddie Byrnes of South Elm street, sorrell- topped harrier, who took four first places against keen competition.
 Eddie also proved himself quite a softball player of no mean ability, snatching all kinds of throws at first base for Director Braslins Cyclones against Tent Leaders Turbert's Whirlwinds. In other words, the Cyclones blew harder than the Whirlwinds, in fact they blew up completely, losing IS to 4.
 Jimmy Fitzgerald was declared camp checker champion while hon. ors in horse shoe pitching were won by Edward Ryan and Frank zim- merman.

PAINTERS STAY
 OUT ON STRIKE
No Developments in Re- gard to Settlement In-
 dicated Today

The local painters and decorators strike moved into its second day to- day without any developments In regard to 6 settlement.
 At the present time painters at the A. F. Taylor Go. and at the Johnson Paint shop, members of lo- cal 40l of the A. F. of L. union, are out on strike becouse the employers, according to the union claims, failed to live up to a wage agreement.
 Patrick O'Brien, president of the A. F. Taylor Co.,, could not be lo- cated today, but a representative of the company said no conferences had been scheduled up until one o'clock.
 Claude Watts, union delegate, could not be located this morning by the Democrat and subsequently, there has been no statement from the union side of the situation.
 In view of the fact that no state- ments were forthcoming in regard to the strike, 1t is believed both sides intend to wait 1t out at least for the day.
 At the present time 1t is under stood the agreement between the union and the contractors in April called for $9 for an eight-hour day. There are about 90 members in the local union and about 36 of this number, 1t is estimated, are out on strike at the present time.

Mayor

"The amazingly increasing popularity and general use of the bicycle, which in the past few years have jumped its sales by millions annually throughout the United States, have made the velOcipede one of the cOuntry's big traffic prob lems. It Is a well known fact today that every traffic expert and enforcement officer In the land rates the bicycle a pOten- tial menace to safety on streets and highways and the Democrat Is to be congratulated on its plan, in the interest of public safety, to hold bicycle tests for local OSIers of these vehicles, starting September 18th, for one week.
 "The plan, which, as I un- derStand 1t, calls for the inSpec- ton of brake, tires, lights, rear reflectors and bell, much In the manner In which motor vehicles are now inspected In Connecti- cut, Is especially we'll timed In view of several recent local ac- cidents in which bicycles have been involved.
 II urge Waterbury parents to encourage their youngsters, who own bicycles-automoblle driv- CTS of the future-to cooperate with the Democrats bicycle safety campaign. It Is a lesson In safety, which the drive has In store for them.
 "The opportunity to learn a lesson in the principles of safe driving of mechanically sound bicycle and of having their bi- cycles tested should also not be passed up by grOwn-up bicycle enthusiasts"

Continued from Page D that bicycle operators, whether old or young, should join In and aid in making highways and streets safe for those using them.
 Motor Vehicles Tested
 Motor vehicle authorities have instituted tests to keep automobiles being operated on our roads in good working condition so that mechan- ical defects cannot be responsible for accidents, or at least be blamed for a minimum. While the bicycle contains fewer working parts, 1t still must conform to certain standards.
 Every bicycle owner should have sufficient pride to see that these standards are met. And the Water bury Democrat during the week of September l3 Is going to provide the measuring sticks whereby all bicy- cles can be proved acceptable to official standards for safe opera ton. Those that aren't will have their defects or omissions pointed out.
 The cooperation Of every bicycle owner in Waterbury IS necessary to make this safety campaign & suc- cess. The Democrat is confident that most boys and girls will wel- come the chance to get official rec ognition as a safe operator, one who some day will be a good automobile driver.
 Fathers and mothers, too, should welcome this opportunity to have their sons and daughters join in a drive whose aim Is their own safety on our city streets.
 September 13 is the opening date for the Safety Campaign. Watch the Democrat daily for full details.
