Stanley Clague of Evanston, has been keeping house for Mr. McCoy during May 20, 1929 her daughter's absence. · Editor, WILM~'l'T~ LIFE: 'I Goucher college, Baltimore, Md., and Public Forum LAWNS a .GARDENS Ult I read with a great deal of interest your editorial "Cyclists on Sidewalks," in WILMETTE LIFE of May 17. I have seen similar articles in other papers at other times, but none of them seem to solve the question as to what is the poor child to do or where is he .to ride. I agree with you that one often dashes down on you blowing his horn; you nearly jump out of your shoes, and the cyclist probably chuckles to himself and is gone. One must infer from your article .that the bicyclist should ride on the streets, but have you considered in these days of many and fast automobiles the great danger you are plac. ing on the ride,.r? Very few accidents happen from people being struck by bicycles, and fatal accidents are practically unheard of. On the other hand,. the number of accidents by automobiles hitting people on bicycles is large and many of them fatal. Let's not criticize our officers for exercising good judgment, but rather educate our children to use better judgment when passing people on the sidewalk. Of the two evils, if you may call cycling on the sidewalk an evil, let's take the one of the lesser danger and let our good children of Wilmette ride on the sidewalks. If it is a violation of the law, let's change the law. Yours very truly, J. C. Gapen. Wilmette, May 18, 1929 Editor, WILM~TT£ Ln'E: I have just noticed the. editorial "Cyclists on Sidewalks" in your WIL· Ml':'l"l'e LIFE. Why do they not get busy and go after the real big issue, instead of nibbling at small bait? Get after the young terrorists who race through our streets in automobiles; go after those under-aged know-it-alls who recognize neither rule nor reason, who endanger life and limb in dashing about with their machines. Can you blame us for telling our children where they can ride without the danger of losing a leg or their life? It seems the police do not exert th~m selves to curb the young speed mamacs who do not care what happens, just so that their own selfishness is satisfied. I am sure that many a worried and anxious mother would feel grateful indeed if THIS evil were rectified. Truly yours, Mrs. E. Fred Lechler. New Children;· Radio Program Tune in on WMAQ at 5 :45 P.
