Left Turn Ban
On Grand River

Judging from early returns. De

The ban applies only to turns of

1--WE won't be able to tell ac-
curately, however, just how
much improvement the change
has made until we compile traf-
fic counts within q few weeks.

tons giving detailed instruction
for completing detoured left
turns. We are trying TO dis

cism because buses are allowed
to make left turns. We had to
grant the privilege to the street
cars because Of the tracks and
figured buses should come un-
der the same category"
Various police officers added
their approval TO the plan;
Lieut.. Edward Gering of the
Fourteenth Precinct:

had an officer stationed there

Sgt. Ralph Bonifield of the mo-

unusual athletic proves and an

If some of the old timers who
used to move so sedatelY- over the
ice could return to earth and
drop in at New York City's Mad
ison Square Garden any night be-
tween December / and December
10 they would be almost as
amazed as a citizen Of the one
horse shay era getting his first
look at a stratoliner-for mod
ern skating is really dancing on
ice. The sport is no longer a
simple matter of locomotion by
pushing out first with one leg
and then the other.
The show which comes to Mad

called the ice Follies." Three

spectacle in action and prove be-
You'd all doubt that the profess

what used to be a sedate winter
sport into a spirited and skill

is TO do plenty of skating on one
foot, using the right foot and the
left foot alternately, relying on
the off-the-ice leg for balance.
Then tackle the figure eight and
learn to do it right. because al
most every spectacular move
made by the skating stars is
nothing but that familiar pat
tern, or some variation of it.
A few hours with a good in
structor usually is enough to
start people who know little or
nothing about skating off on the
right foot, SO to speak.
Grownups who haven't fol-
lowed the evolution of the popu-
lar Winter sport are frequently
amazed at the number Of young
