ecutive Director o f Southwest Neigh
bors, Inc , says that residents are very
pleased with the results to date. “Cit
izens are very pleased with the in
crease in police visibility and the
decrease in accidents along the
Terwiliiger curves,” says Bogert,
“ People continually comment that
traffic has slowed down.”

dents and members o f the task force
that studied the Terwiliiger curves.
Betty Hedberg said that she has seen
an in c re a se in n eig h b o rh o o d
liveability since the project began.
“ We see fewer cars cutting through
our neighborhood due to traffic
jam s.” She also said that people in
her neighborhood think the offic
ers have done an excellent job.
“Traffic is moving better,” said
Hedberg, “and with fewer accidents
we hear fewer sirens. We think it’s
great.”
“The officers from the Traffic
Division and Central Precinct have
been doing outstanding work dur
ing the last two months,” said Chief |
Charles Moose, “ People are telling
us that they have seen improve
ment in the Terwiliiger curves and
in adjacent neighborhoods. Hope
fully, our continued efforts will re
sult in motorists recognizing the
need to drive carefully in the curves.
The goal is for drivers to be part
ners in solving the problem.”

State Police have also been involved
in the Terwillinger project.

with the suspect refusing to surren
der voluntarily.

ficers fired chemical gas into the
van. A short time later Leroy left
the vehicle and was taken into cus

me for this fight,” he added. “I
stood up to George Wallace and to

“I truly believe in freedom o f
speech,” Lewis said. “But 1 also
believe that we have an obligation
to condemn that speech if it is rac
ist, bigoted or anti-Semitic. Wheth

won’t be a party to it.”
Recalling that Dr. Martin Luther
King had a “cleansing’ effect on the
south, Lewis said, "W e are a better

we might have gone down the road
to chaos.”
“When we were singing, march
