TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, September 5. 1957 Director Urges Teaching Of Bicycle Safety Rules By GAY PAULEY TJniled Presi Women's Editor New ork W ' Bicycles and back-to-school go together like ABCs. But unfortunately, they also combine to increase the number of accidents to children. Last year, 480 youngsters were killed and 35,000 injured in bicycle accidents, most of them in collisions with cars. The toll is on the increase for two reasons more young people and more bikes. It is estimated there are 21 million children using the two-wheelers. "Most of these accidents could be prevented, had we taught our children the basic rules of safe bicycling," said Monroe D. Schackner. director of safety education for Johnson and John son. Schackner Is founder and di rector of a bicycle safety pro gram, which since Its start last spring has been used in some 2,400 communities. It has the blessing of the National Safety council and the Bicycle Institute of America. Has Safety Kit Safety should be taught at home and school," said Schack ner, a bicycling enthusiast. He's put together a safety kit for schools it s available for the Couple Observes 40th Anniversary Cave Junction Mr. and Mrs Jay Haines of Cave Junction celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary Wednesday, Septem ber 4. Here for the occasion were their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James William Haines, Who drove down from British Columbia. Their daugh ter. Myrtle June Kipling, also of British Columbia, was unable to come. Mr. and Mrs., Haines were married in Ashland in 1917, and in April, 1918, Mr. Haines en tered the army and saw service in World War I. After being discharged a year later, the couple went to British Colum bia where they lived 27 years. They purchased a Cave Junc tion motel in 1947. ' asking, which includes a manual for teachers, student literature, written and riding tests, and a prize-winning color sound film called "Play It Safe." Schackner said the kit grew out of his work with city lead ers in White Plains, N. - They started a continuing safety cam paign after 14 bike accidents in two weeks. The town now hap pily boasts that in two years it ha3 had only one bike accident. "When children return to school, the accident rate goes up," said Schackner. 'The grade school kids are the most frequent victims. They are the least skilled riders . . . don't have the common sense of older children and will take unnecessary chances." He compiled this list of 10 rules by which parents can help their children to safety. Make sure the bicycle is the right size for the child." Need Good Brakes Give the bicycle a mechani cal check, with special attention to brakes. If the youngster rides at night, provide him with a head light bright enough to be seen at a distance of 500 feet, and with a red light or reflector at the rear, bright enough to be seen 300 feet. Teach the child to ride with both hands on the handlebars. Make sure he knows not to make a left turn in traffic. A child should never ride with another person on the bi cycle. This weakens his control of the bike. He should use hand signals to indicate his intention to turn or stop. No stunt riding on the street. Teach him to look care fully for approaching vehicles when he rides into a street from driveway or alley. And equip the child s bike with a basket or carrier, so he won't be tempted to carry pack ages in his hands. Wicker furniture can be kept from turning yellow by scrubbing it with a stiff brush moistened with warm salt water.
