Bicycle Safety
Campaign Started
By Lions Club
Too Many Close
Calls'' Say Members;
Alfred Reports Trip
Boys and girls who ride bicycles:
Do you know your privileges, and
what you are not supposed to do
when riding on city streets? It is
for your safety that Heppner Lions
Monday, adopted as a project your
edification on rules of street cycling.
Ray Kinne, program chairman for
the day, brought the matter up and
called attention to campaigns that
have been staged successfully in
other towns and cities to avert
catastrophe. Other Lions commented
on the- number of close calls they
have witnessed, due at times to fail
ure of night cyclists to have proper
red reflecting mirror on the rear
of bikes, or to too many passengers.
The city law was cited which re
quires the safety signal, and limits
riders to one per bike. Appoint
ment of a committee to conduct the
educational campaign was left un
til the return of President Frank
Turner.
Frank Alfred reported a trip he
made to graduation at Willamette
university, Salem, last week end,
and commented more especially
upon the new Willamette law school
building. He believed it of general
interest since the building so con
verted was previously the old Sa
lem postoffice. Modernization has
effected a very serviceable building
for his alma mater, the tenth reun
ion of whose graduating class he
attended last week end.
Patriotic songs were sung in hon
or of Flag day, celebrated yester
day. Guests included Henry Peter
son, Garland Swanson and J. O.
Turner, the latter being introduced
as a reaffiliated member.
