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.
Dancers To Learn

Waltz," will be taught during a

Love Main Reason
Girls Marry Young
Knoxville, Tenn. (W Love,
it seems, is the main reason girls
get married before finishing high
school. And impatience.
Zona H. Kelly makes this re
port after conducting a four-year
study of in-school marriages in
a Tennessee city of 20,000 popu
lation. Most girls, she says, were wed
because they were "so much in
love they couldn't wait."
Others had a less romantic rea
son: They wanted to get out of
school.
Some just wanted to get away
from home, where conditions
were "unpleasant."
