Most bike riders in accidents
with motor vehicles are vo-
lating traffic laws. the Delaware
Safety Council declared yester
day.
The Council appealed to par
ents to teach their children the
traffic laws, to help them to
use bicycles more safely.
In four out offive accidents,
the bicycle rider is violating
a law" Francis Jamison, as
sistant manager of the Council.
declared yesterday at a staff
conference on bicycle safety.
A recent study by the National
Safety Council showed:
l. Between 400 and 500 bike
riders are killed each year in
accidents with motor vehicles.
More than $4,000 bike riders
suffer disabling injuries.
2. More than eight out of
ten victims are under l6 years
of age.
8. Nearly nine out of ten
victims are males.
A. Seven out of ten occur
during April-September, and
during daylight hours.
S. They occur most often on
Saturday, least often on Sunday.

Fillies, Mares
Richest Whirl

Those dstaff darlings of the
thoroughbred racehorse fam :
ily- FLIES and mares--will
again have their richest whirl
of the year at the Delaware
Park meeting which gets under
way May % for 54-day stand.
A cool quarter million dol
lars comes up for grabs in the
celebrated Distaff Big Three
series consisting of the $4,000
Oaks, $4,000 New Castle
Stakes. and $l5o.ooO Delaware
Handicap--the last-named the
worlds richest race for lady
horses 8 3years old and upward.
These three stakes always are
run on the final three Saturdays
of the meeting. their respective
dates this year being July IA.
q and closing day, July %.
The Oaks is restricted to
3-year-old fillies and is a test
of a mile and an eighth. The
New Castle. at mile and a
sixteenth. and the climatic Del :
aware Handicap, decided at the
classic distance of a mile and
a quarter, are open to flies
and mares 8 and up.
It is rare, indeed, when the
Delaware fails to attract every
outstanding candidate for cham :
pionship honors of theyear. One
need only go back to the 1861
renewal for a case in point.
Hugh A. Grants Airmans Guide

Most Bike Accidents Caused By
Riders Violating Traffic Laws

In Delaware as in most other
states, the laws require bicy-
clists to ride on the right side.
and to follow all rules and regu-
lations pertaining to other We
hic1es.
Riding on the left side of the
street is more hazardous than
riding on the right side, Jami :
son said.
Summing up, these sugges
tion were offered to keep bike
riders safe:
l. Obey traffic laws, traffic
lights and signs, know the traf.
fic rules.
2. Stay on the right side
ride with traffic.
8. Ride single file. Never
zigzag.
A. Make sure your bikes in
good condition.
S. When traffic is heavy al
a corner. get off and push your
bike ACROSS the street. Stay
within the crosswalks.
6. Don't ride your bike al
night unless you have to. Anc
then. make sure your bike has
a front Light and rear reflector,
Wear clothing that is light col
ored or that shines in the darl
so you can be seen easily by
motorists.
