Dangerous Walking

Some of the members of our board of alderman, certainly hove the sympathy of residents of The Hill In their argument for little bet ter lighting of some of the streets of the Hill. It seems as though some of the streets were more or less dependent on the lights Of the homes of people living on these streets and now that the dim-out prohibits liohts of residents to show where there are no street liqhts to help, 1t makes walking very dancer ous indeed. A resident of South street met with a very painful ac- cident Saturday night, rioht on his own dor-step. The weather made it hazardous anyway and with no street lights to show up the ire on the walks, it WIS q wonder he didn't have more dangerous injuries than he did receive.

The younger mothers and fathers don't seem to think of that, and 1t Is no. ticeable that little tots who ever don't pay Q fare, occupy a seat very comfortably, when older men who probably have to stand up all day at work, and because they weren't lucky enough to get the bus before the crowd are just out of luck. Is 1t any wonder people resent the gas rationing which forces them to use busses, when they might be riding 10 work with some comfort, or com ing home after hard day of stand ing! It isn't because they are un- patriotic either that they notice these things, some people just have to have club used on them before they think of the "other fellow.
