Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879. Bicyclists Urged to Observe Rules Within the past few days, we have witnessed two bi cycle mishaps on fairly busy streets. Both occurred when youngsters were taking corners too fast and the vehicles slid on loose gravel, upsetting both bicycles and riders. The accidents resulted in only scratches and bruises; however, we couldn’t help but think what might have happened if one of those small heads had hit a curb or an oncoming car couldn’t have stopped in time. A bicycle may be considered a toy to some children, to others it is a mode of transportation and to still other youngsters, it is a necessity for delivery work. But it can also be a dangerous machine if not handled properly, even though owning one is considered fun. When boarding those two-wheelers, it is always well to think! Keep in mind the bicycle safety rules taught each year by Mr. Ballou and the Nyssa Police depart ment. This program is sponsored just for that purpose by the Nyssa Lions club. There are many ways that bicycle accidents can hap pen and all should be kept in mind, but “remember, young cyclists, do slow down when rounding those cor ners. It’s always better to be a little late, than to be bad ly injured or maybe never reach your destination.”—A.B.
