Safety Council Notes

playing peek-a-boo with mo-
tosists is deadly camel"
In these words, H. W. T. Pur-
nell, Vice President for Sussex
County of the Delaware Safety
Council urged walkers not to OBJ
scure their vision with parcels or
umbrellas as they cross streets.
"These and other careless walk
ing habits have cost many pedes-
trians their lives" he said.
He pointed cut that walking be-
comes especially dangerous at this
time of the year when rain and
snow make visibility poor and
footing precarious. These weather
conditions, he said, also make it
difficult for motorists to see Pc
destrians and to control their We
hicles.
Another factor that increases
the pedestrians danger is the
greater number of hours of dark
ness" Mr.. Purnell said. "Pedes-
trian deaths increase sharply dur
ing the fall and winter months,
anu LAAC AAACA CltHE usually LgAAEG III
fatal accidents which occur after
sunset"
Mr.. Purnell reminded walkers
to do everything they can to make
themselves visible to motorists
when walking at night. He advis-
ed them to wear light colored cloth
ing when possible and to carry a
flashIight. He also recommended
the wearing. Of the new reflector
lied garments which make a pc
destrian visible in the path of a

several hundred feet.
"But, above all, be alert!" he
urged walkers. sYou risk your

had been bounced upon last week

signed or they would force the
landowner out.
This statement was attacked yes

tons we're without foundation of
fact This brought a heated re-
ioindcr from Senator Friend, but
before it got beyond control he
was halted by the chairman of the
meeting, who asked that no person
alitics be brought into the discus
sion
Friend, however, said he would
continue to struggle for law that
would be acceptable and fair to
both landowners and drillers. He
declared his group was not OPP
posed 10 pooling or spacing but re-
itcrated his determination that the
pooling ought to be voluntary.
