 Tn an announcement stressing public safety importance of the current pedestrian safety campaign which the Highway Safety Com. mission Is sponsoring from today to Nov. 30 there is cited the high casualties which pedestrians suffer during normal traffic years.
 During the calendar year of l04l, according to Motor Vehicle Depart ment records, 2i3 pedestrians were killed and 2,62e injured, some so seriously they will never recover former health. This, according to the Highway safety Commission director, will be the lo46 experience of Connecticut, with normal traffic volume but subnormal equipment and driving practices, unless pedes- trians observe safety laws.
 State statutes forbid foot traffic to cross streets against 6 red or stop signal where lights control the area, and further provide that pe- destrians ''shall not cross at any place not a marked or unmarked crosswalk." This latter prohibits midblock crossing, too common Q practice states MT. Greene, in Con- fiecticut communities.
