from bicycles in the paths of automobiles For two
injuries neggible-for the third death took its
toll Who's to blame? 1t doesn't matter But
the problem it entails does matter.
Enforcement officials, not only in this town but
in the nation itself, regard the bicycle endang
of human life But this premise is also true
it need not be- There Is this to consider too. That
the bicycle with it's youthful rider is no more a
hazard than the automobile with its adult pilot.
But the two together make the bicycle by its very
nature a more complex problem-one that because
of the youth of its riders makes a greater impress
in the minds of the citizenry.
AS society proceeds into it's complexities, things
alter. The coming of the auto made the bicycle
into idle luxury. AS more people come, and
society mounts, the individual surrenders some of
his own freedom to the good of the whole. All
laws are theoretically, designed on that basis.
So must the cyclist He cannot, in the old days,
wander idly about the Streets he must stay to the
right observe the traffic signals that motorists en-
ploy; stay within the law.
Parental disregard, officers and those interested
in the safety movement have observed, is the most
serious stumbling block in the way of better pro-
grams for bicycle safety. Their disinterest is a
scott at the new movements such the bicycle club
sponsored by the V.F.W, ordinances in the city,
safety movements throughout the nation. Par
entail disregard is factor until-something serious
happens and then the incensed voice of the multi
tude rises to high heaven Yet not all parents
it's not an easy refusal to make-to allow their chill
dren bicycles
The bicycle is not problem to be snuffed out
by eliminating the machine. It's something to
be met. Cooperation with safety movements will help
Remember this-the bicycle rider of today is
the driver of tomorrow-if he gets off the bicycle
in one piece
Our New Yawk Dept-You know, if the edito,
may drop comment, New Workers are being trained
much in the manner of the Californians. Ever hear
of a Californian correspondent who fails to mention
the beautiful weather? OF course, you don't; it's
a cardinal sin, ettiquettal breach (if may coin
a phrase) that just doesn't happen So with
New Yorker-he daren't miss mention of the Worlds
Fair. So Jack Costello, the Minnesota Menace
of Radio City writes thuswise " it really is Just
as stupendous and gigantic as the advertisements
say and words really can't do it justice. The sights
at night when the many beautiful buildings
flooded with lights breathtaking. AS you
perhaps know, the NBC conduct tours through the
RCA building here in Radio City showing the stu
dos, television broadcasts and 50 forth. One
elderly maiden lady after the tour over turned
to the guide and-tsk-tsked And they really
going to tear all this down after the Fair is over?
Il out to the Fair week ago and going
from the administration building to the General Elec-
trio Building where were going to broadcast
passed the famous Trylon and Perisphere. It's i'm
posing sight night with the fountains and such and
I stopped to watch. Standing in front of me
were two sailors quite intent viewing the sight
and oblivious to their surroundings suddenly one
this? Imagine poor COB on perhaps twenty
turned to the other and said, Who's paying for all
bucks month worrying over who was to pay for
the Fair. That's Mr. Whalen's exclusive worry
and with the high prices prevailing out there
don't think that he loses much sleep over it!'
Jack and his wife and their Dennis Sean will be in
Sank Centre early in June on his vacation.
Nipping social problem in the bud-The second
mite of the class play appeared the programs:
Ladies please remove hats" You can draw con-
illusions from the fact that the line did not accom-
pany the first nights programs. Which is some
thing of social problem should be requisite for
lady-ike conduct schooed from early youth.
Clicks-More the class play-Interested spec
ing the years at the school two of his daughters
Mrs. Jeppesen, of Park Rapids and Mrs. d. p
Newton, of Peoria, ILL.,, and son, George, acted In
class plays. Last Thursday and Friday two Of
his grandchildren in the double casts. One
night it Margaret Jeppesen and another grand
son, George Conkey. The red trim stone work
the new front the Miller building that houses
Jerrys bar is from what used to be Czechoslovaka-
The item is that Miller is of Bohemian ex-
traction, a Czech province. The thought has just
struck that tavern operators going to have
sweet time meeting the closing regulations when the
season gets in the full swing of summer And
why hasn't Sank Centre a residence building pro-
gram? According to exchanges nearly every
hamlet size has SUCH In Wadena in eight
months so homes built! A MontevdeO
is interested in buying the newly-opened Bel
mont.
