g phelan legal ntetlvthcntmojtor4swnaytov league stated in a recent inter view there can be no real curtail ment of accidents involving motor- ists and pedestrians unless the ped estrian is taught that he has duties as well ns rights he declnred pointing out that our traffic laws today favor the pedestrian he said our tmfflc act provides that where a pedestrian is hit by a ear the burden of satisfying the court that he is not nt fault rests on tho driver this is so even when the pedestrian walks into the side- or back of a car explaining court procedure in such cases mr phelan cited whin the jury is asked has the driver satisfied you he was not nt fault or neghgcntvlfhejuryaay no as it does 90 per cent of the time the jury is not then asked to speci fy in what the negligence consists the jurys finding may bo based on a eomplewy erroneous idea of what the driver did wrong for in stance perhaps his lights were not working properly although the ac cident look place in the dnytlmo not knowing this the unsuccessful driver is unable to appeal to the coutntof appeal although he would be able to do so successfuly if the jury had to specify the negligence and make a definite finding ry such practices as this nnd in mnny other ways we have lulled the ped estrian into a feeling of security we must educate the pedestr ian mr phelan continued to date all our effort has been devo- d to educating the driver nnd lit tle has been done to educate the pedestrian he should hnve ponnlt- los imposed on him for such had habits ns rroiilnc between inter sections ngnlnst traffic signals

indulges in it is to be hoped that this mon ths program of the provincial traf fic safety drive devoted to pedes trian safety will do much to make the pedestrian realize that the ercuw of cane in the
