Mcycle Safety Club Starts
■or Children of Area
Formation of the Bicycle Safety
Club for juvenile cyclists of the
District and nearby Maryland and
Virginia was announced today by
'he American Automobile Associa
tion.
The club hopes to reduce bicycle
accidents and to improve cycling
tabits of children, the association
stated.
In order to join, each boy and
girl must sign a pledge agreeing to
abide by certain safety rules. Mem
bership, which is free, includes a
small red reflector to be attached
to the bicycle, a record of serial
number to provide against theft
and & booklet on bicycle regulations
and safety suggestions.
The local A. A. A. offices pointed
out similar clubs have been started
recently in St. Louis, Detroit and
Cleveland and have proved highly
successful.
Citizens Weigh Cycle Ban
After Police Fatality
Georgetown citizens today were
'-onsidering an appeal to Police
3upt. E. W Brown that motor cycles
be abandoned in favor of scout cars
as a safety measure.
Such a move was discussed fol
lowing the accident in which Ray
mond E. Grant, seventh precinct
motor cycle officer, was killed yes
terday.
At a meeting of the Georgetown
Lions Club yesterday John Paul
Jones, past president of the or
ganization, offered a resolution sug
gesting that wherever possible scout
cars be used by police instead of
motor cycles.
Mr. Jones pointed out that acci
dents in which motor cycle police
men figure are numerous, and that
this mode of transportation is haz
ardous, particularly on rainy days.
The resolution, which would be
forwarded to Maj. Brown, was re
ferred to the club’s Safety Com
mittee for study and report.
New Junior High
Bids to Be Opened
Bids will be opened this after
noon on the $775,000 Jefferson Jun
ior High School, it was announed at
the District Building.
The new school will be located
between H and I and Seventh and
Ninth streets S.W. One wing will
be a branch of the Public Library.
Don't gamble with traffic safety.
The odds are one minute to four
score years and ten.
