Reynolds emerged from the fight without injury. HIT ON HEAD DURING FIGHT * I believe that one would have lit-- tle trouble crossing the avenue on week days; thus, it is only on week-- ends that regulators are necessary. Why cannot village policeman be posted at these three corners on busy days? The "cops" could stop the heavy traffic only when the east and west traffic warranted it; too, they could facilitate left turns at Mil-- waukee avenue and luundelein road. William L. Lanferman. President Corlett of Libertyville made a good defense of the stop lights in his village in his recent letter. Some means of controlling traffic is certainly a necessity at these corners, especially at the cor-- ner of Milwaukee avenue and Mun-- delein road. We must grant the ci-- tizens of Libertyville the right to eross the road with safety on Sat-- urdays and Sundays. s Most motorists who have driven through Libertyville, however, will agree with Mr. Cermak that the stop lights are a great pest. There are times when nothing is going east or west, and the stop lights, being senseless, cannot regulate the traf-- fic well. Sheriff Doolittle And Super-- visors' Committee To Discuss Problem. s Because the present absence of authorized county motorcycle po-- licemen is felt to be a serious draw-- back by Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle, the sheriff was to meet members of the finance committee of the board of supervisors and the chairman of the board, Bert C. Thompson, Mon-- day in an endeavor to promote measures for the appointing of a motorcycle patrol. Foor some rea-- Sheriff Doolittle points out that over July 4 alone, 35 arrests were made for speeding and other traf-- fie violations and that there is a necessity for the reinstatement of a regular patrol of motorcycle po-- lice. With the opening of Green Bay road, traffic has become heavier than ever and the sheriff declares that his deputies are kept busy with regular duties at his office, to say nothing of detailing them as traffic controllers, It is felt that by the appointment of such corps, many of the accidents now occurring can be eliminated and that reckless drivers and traffic violators can be assess-- ed heavy fines. STRESSES NEED OF MOTOR COPS At the meeting of the > county supervisors last year the county traffic patrol was discontinued as a result of the budget revision which was concentrated on the decreasing of expenses. For the past year as a result, there have been no county motor cops, until July 4 of this year when Sheriff Doolittle ap-- pointed four motorcycle patrolmen for the three--day holiday. Since that time, two motor policemen have been temporarily retained. Libertyville traffic lights and their condemnation by Tony Cermak seem to have attracted no little attention in other sections of the country than our own judging by a letter which appeared in the Chicago Tri-- bune on Thursday morning sié'ned by William L. Lanferman of Glen-- eoe. Mr. Lenferman comends the stand taken by president Corlett but seems to feel that the week end traffic could be bétter handled by officers. The letter follows: ;hfitvfii'sfixvne;tihg was unable to be held but another is to be stheduled.

He sustained a fracture at the base of the skull, another mear the temple, an opening in the head caused by some metal projection op the truck, and severe injuries to his back. _ Authorities at the Yictory Memorial hospital stated Thursday morning that McCall's condition was still critical. fol that the accident will prove fatal. Bernard McCall, North Chicago motorcycle policeman, was serious-- ly injured Wednesday night at 6:45 u'clock when the motorcycle which he was riding, crashed into a truck driven by, Joe Rizzo, 141 Market street, Waukegan, which was tra-- veling west on Sixteenth street. McCall, who was riding north on Lincoln street, struck the truck broadside and machine and rider were thrown under the truck. McCall, who is only 25 years of age, has a wife and a 2 year old child. He took up his duties on the North Chicago police depart-- ment two months ago but did not start riding a motorcycle in North Chicago until about a month age. He had, however, had previous rid-- ing experience while in the United States navy. * McCall had just left the home of his mother, Mrs, William M. Coker, 2214 Kristan avenue, where he had had supper, and was on his way to his house at 1125 Lincoln street, to change his clothes before report-- ing at the police station for duty at Foss Park in the evening. He was in a hurry and according to the witnesses, was going at a fair rate of speed when hbe saw the truck and could not avoid hitting it, despite the fact that he made a quick turn. Although not conscious of what he was doing, McCall raised him-- self to a sitting posture, despite the gashes in his head and the flow of blood, and took the handkerchief from his back pocket to wipe off his face. His eyes were wide open and he was moaning, but he did not recognize Chief Tiffany, who at-- tempted to talk to him. The crash was witnessed by Rev. A. H. Textor, City Treasurer Henry Wasniewski, and a Mr. Novak, all of whom stated that the truck driver was not at fault, as he was driving at about 10 miles an hour when struck and stopped his ma-- chine in time to avoid running ov-- er McCall as he lay under the truck.
