"With bicycle riding assuming
greater popularity than ever,
but bringing with it unnecessary
tolls of injury and death to BIZ
cycle riders, the AAA-OSAA
school safety poster emphasizes
the need for bicycle riders to
obey all motor traffic rules"
Robert Hamilton, secretary of
the Newark Automobile club an
nounced.
"Many bicycle drivers do not
realize that they are subject to
the same traffic rules as opera
tors of automobiles, and that
for their own safety and the
safety of pedestrians and motor
lists using the highway, they
must obey motor traffic rules,
including keeping to the right,
signaling turns, stopping for
stop signs and traffic lights,
and giving right-of-way to pc
destrians at intersections" Mr..
Hamilton said.
The posters have been COM
mended by educators as a fur
ther means of developing inter
national understanding and pro-
noting safety. The current pos
ter depicts a French boy on a
bicycle in the area near the Eifel
Tower in Paris.

THREE MARKS, 81

Like streaks of tightening ap-
peared the official chalk marks
on automobile tires last Satur-
day ayem following the sudden
demise of parking meter legis-
lation at the special council
meeting held Friday night. And
like leaflets from an aerial pro-
paganda raid likewise appeared
those little tickets that stood
for overtime parking and kick
ing in a buck to the city. Com
ments were numerous, but chief
among them was the assertion,
"Well, it's the law. Why not
enforce it?" SO the persons who
don't want the meters should
take their tickets gracefully,
and those who do want them can
do the same with or without
grace. It's a dollar either way!

Ruling Given on
Farm Trucking

Farmers owning trucks licens-
ed with farm truck license plates
may legally transport, for hire,
farm products for other farm
ers, provided such use does not
exceed 25 per cent of the farm
use of such truck, Attorney Cen
eral Thomas j. Herbert ruled
this week in an opinion to Cylon
w. Wallace, registrar, bureau of
motor vehicles.
In requesting an opinion, Mr..
Wallace said many questions
had arisen over whether a farm
er who owned truck bearing a
farm license could legally trans
port farm products for another
farmer for hire.
In determing whether the
farmer owner of the truck was
exceeding the 25 per cent use
for hire, Mr.. Herbert said, the
total amount of work done by
two or more joint owners of the
truck on their farms should be
added together to determine the
rs per cent of the owner use.
Farm use not only includes
hauling products of the farm to
market, but also the hauling to
the farm all feeds, machinery,
fence, tile, fertilizer and similar
products connected with opera
tion of a farm, including furni-
ture for the house.

Need Permanent
Social Program,
Mrs. Bing Says

"After ten years we are again
in the midst of prosperity" Mrs.
Lucia j. Bing, assistant chief of
child welfare service, bureau of
charity, asserted last Thursday
in an address heard by social
and civic leaders in the Warden
hotel.
The meeting was called by
Prof. F. G. Detweiler, of Denison
university, on behalf of the
county board of public assist.
ance to consider the welfare OF
dependent children and blind
work.
Factories and industries are
producing as much goods as they
did during peak prosperity pc
riods," Mrs. Bing stated to sus-
tain her contentious of prosperi-
ty. She observed, however, that
labor-saving devices have elm
mated worlmen to the extent
that 80 per cent are now perma-
nently unemployed; and urged a
general revision of production
and employment programs to
take up the slack.
Tracing the history of social
welfare work since the Civil
war, Mrs. Bing asserted that
great amount of welfare work
must take on a permanent or
ganization. Progress from the
building of children's homes
years ago to a fuller response
bility for entire families, and
the humanitarian acceptance of
the need for maintaining fami-
lies as integral units of society
were observed by Mrs. Bing.
"Fear, anger, and inferiority
are the three destructive emo
tions undermining children and
adults today" she said, pointing
out that failure to "take care of
children today will produce a
serious situation in America la
ter"
In response to Mrs. Bing's
urging for a cooperative pro-
gram by all agencies, DIR. Det-
weller will appoint committee
of local social and civic leaders
to study the needs of Newark.

COTTON BUNNIES .


Somewhere along the line last
week a certain Easter Bunny
went haywire. Now usually the
logical things for this holiday
rodent to lay and leave in re-
membrance are eggs. Colorful,
edible ovals that lend a bril-
liant aspect to the day and be-
sides do little towards cutting
down the grocery bills for the
week.
But not this bunny. Instead
of having been reared on an egg
producing diet, his trainer ap-
parently took to feeding him
swatches of silk and wool. Or
maybe somewhere down the line
of his ancestry, a grandmother,
grandfather or great-aunt got
off to bad start and the mis-
step became his inheritance.
This bunny, it appears, left an
apartment full of colorful sar-
torial elegance in the form of
mems ties. 1t happened in the
Dick Kale home on Mt. Vernon
road. Instead of finding a bas-
ket of eggs upon their return
from church, there were instead,
neckties galore. Silk ones, isle
ones, woolen ones, and many
through whose strands flowed a
variety of bloods.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kale found ties
draped over windows, furniture,
picture frames, doors, and even
tackled inside a picture frame.
They were in the kitchen, bath
room, bedroom, everywhere.
Not that they are allergic to
ties, but they still think Easter
eggs would have been nice. And
the benevolent bunny, they are
certain, works in one of New
ark's mems furnishing stores.
