Page Two Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, June 15, 1939 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.
