suggestion was made to the Auto

OF the conditions and make recon-

The survey states that, Up to

Der of these injuries have been
serious. During the month of No.
yember there were nine pedes.
trians injured and with the in
crease in pedestrian traffic the
problem will become more acute in
the future, with December already
adding to the total.
The pedestrians accidents have
had a decided effect upon the war
effort. in that the majority of the
pedestrians hurt were war work
ers. Also, the majority of the
drivers involved in accidents were
war workers. Those injured were
unable to continue their work for
indefinite periods and the drivers
involved were also kept away from
the plants to make reports on the
accidents and other matters PEE

and in some instances the few OF
traffic has jumped way out of pro-
portion to what il was a year ago.

five bicyclists hurt. This was so

and a survey of the situation shows
that many motorists do not respect
rights OF pedestrians. II is the
duty OF a motorist to give the pc
destrian the right Of way before
turning for the light is as much
for their protection as it is to ex-
pedite the vehicular level. .
None OF the drivers involved
in this type of accident were found
to be under the influence Of liquor.
and only two of the pedestrians had
been drinking.
Fifty per cent Of the drivers in

26.6 per cent were 25 to As years
of age and 2S.9 per cent over the
age OF As. In comparison with other
cities, the pedestrians were not in
the "old age" group.
Chief Of Police Dan E. L. Patch
and the entire Ypsilanti Police De-
partment IS working diligently to
cut down these accidents but they
need the help OF every citizen.
1t is impossible for the police to
escort each pedestrian across the
street nor can they have a patrol
car behind every car to see that
drivers obey safe driving practices.
They must have the cooperation OF
all civic organizations, church
groups and schools from an edu-
cational standpoint to bring about
