the. motorcycle safety record
per mile, per vehicle was 80
per cent better than auto
mobile drivers.
Last year there were 90. 800
people killed in automobile
wrecks-six died in motor
cycle accidents.
Any way you look at it.
the bike riders have the
margin in safety.
For instance, in the worst
year of automobile driving
history, Bill Stern points out,
there were l out of 10 driv-
ers In an accident; in the
worst year of motorcycling,
only l out Of ESQ were in an
accident.
Why is this? How did mo-
torcycles get their bad rep
II this is true?
In answer to the safety
angle, Storms says that there
are probably many reasons.
He names such things as in
creased visibility, mental
alertness brought about by
constantly flowing fresh air,
easier accessibility to con-
trolls, and the younger age
group with their faster re-
action time who usually ride
bikes
AS for the bad reputation
Of motorcycles, Stern says
that 1t Is similar to air
planes. In this respect, it
does seem to be true that
the very infrequency Of q
motorcycle accident causes
1t to attract larger news
headlines than q much worse

Mrs. R. N. Ardrey Leads
County Work And
Tells Of Korean Aid

The Junior Red Cross, directed
by Mrs. r. N. Ardrey, are inter-
ested in a project this year that is
giving the children a great thrill,
according to Mrs. Ardrey.
The majority of the schools i'm
the county are enrolled 100 percent
and the contributions of the child
rem amounting to approximately
$500 has made it possible for them
to contribute S35 to the overseas
milk fund.
On the home front" the Juniors
are busy at special holiday times
doing things that will make these
special occasions happier for hos
pitalized veterans.
The Madison County Juniors
concentrate on favors for the men
at Chillicothe. Their present pro-
ject is the making of 500 Easter
baskets that will be filled with cam
dies and taken to the hospital in
time to adorn the trays of the pat
tents for their Easter dinner.
For Valentines day, the children
had made appropriate favors as
they had on previous special occas-
ions.
Mrs. Ardery spends hours times,
thinking up ideas for each special
day as it falls due, presents them
to the teachers, who aid her in
carrying out the plans and when
the time comes, through co-opera-
ton of Mrs. Ardrey, the teachers
and the children, lovely things are
turned out that give a big lift TO
those for whom the gifts are inten-
ded.
Also Junior Red Cross members
from over the country are having
a great part in making happier the
lot of Korean children as shown by
the following release from Nation
al Red Cross, to Mrs. Ardrey about
aid for Korean children.
"The American Junior Red Cross
today announced a gift Of 100000
in school reconstruction and relief
supplies for Korean children.
'"The program was made public

Council members at a luncheon
