PORT CLINTON Gets AAA AWARD
FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY RECORD

In recognition of its record of no
pedestrian deathS for a 10-year
period, the city of Port Clinton mas
received the American Automobile
Associations award for Excellence
of Pedestrian Protection Program"
The citation was presented May
or George Tewers and Police Chief
William Robel at Saturday cere-
monies in city hall by d ID. Hatch
er, manager of the Toledo AutomO-
bile Club.
"The residents of the city -
both pedestrians and drivers = de-
serve considerable credit for max
ing this award possible" Mr..
Hatcher told the Mayor during the
presentation. This record was
achieved in the face of rising traf-
fic exposure for pedestrians as a
result of both an increase in ve-
hicle use and the number of motor
vehicles"
Mr.. Hatcher said the National
Board of Judges selected this city
for citation from 1911 competing
communities of all sizes. The real
reward to the city, however, he
stressed, was in pedestrian lives
saved. almost every pedestrian
accident, Mr.. Hatcher pointed out,
results in serious injury or death.
This makes it essential to place
greater emphasis each year on
pedestrian protection activities
There is serious need during the
summer months for mothers to in
Struct children to stay away from
the streets in their play. Drivers
should also be more alert for care
