The four cars, for instance, were all found apparently abandoned on Medford streets. Chief Champlin said that every effort has been made to contact owners of the prop erty. One advantage in per sons coming to the building to look at the items Dec. 8, he said, will be to see if some of the property might possibly belong to them. Identify Property If anyone can adequately Identify any of the property as being theirs prior to the auction, he said, it will be turned over to them without cost. One of the items that should have been claimed long ago, Champlin said, is a power mower which "is prac tically as good as new." The mower was found on a Med ford resident's lawn several months ago, he pointed out, but no one has ever come to claim It. Champlin said police offi cers themselves will serve as the auctioneers.

In addition, 104 pedestrians were injured during the same month. Chief Champlin reminded pedestrians to do everything they can to make themselves visible to motorists when walking at night.

He also recommended the wearing of the new reflectorized gar ments which make a pedestri an visible in the path of a car's headlights from a dis tance of several hundred feet. "Above all, be alert," he urged walkers. "You risk your life every time you take a chance in traffic."
