I • ; ; __ j A reader at Wonder Lake [would like clarification of an j article which appeared in a recent issue of the Plaindealer concerning the problem presented this time of year by bicycle riding. A quotation was taken directly fioin information received from the National Safety Council. It seems that the Council recently conducted a study in forty-two states, where there ] was almost unanimous agreei ment on a proi>osal that bieyjclists ride on the left of the street facing traffic. However, the Council favors riding on the right side and following all rules and regulations pertaining to other vehicles. Since the study was merely informative, the desire of the Council, backed up by Illinois statutes, should be carried out. Many times in the past, the Plaindealer has carried the rules for bicyclists, and on a tew occasions the city police I have conducted classes of ini struction. j We are still convinced--af- I ter dodging bicyclists on both | sides and riding down the cen- I ter of the street --that know- | ing the lules won't prevent accidents. Any driver who sees a young bicyclist ahead should heed an unwritten sign "Beware- drive with care". During the jvarm, dry days of summer and early fall, fires annually Cause millions of dollars worth of darnage in our country, not to mention the lives they take and the forests which cannot be replaced. Rubbish burners set 73 per cent of the forest fires in Illinois last year.'While the woods ! were wet most of the year, 215 ! forest fires scorched 6,201 acres during the relatively few hot, dry, windy days. Interesting figures recently released show that debris burners started 146 fires; incendiarists, 25; smokers. 20; railroads, 10; lumbering, 2; and campers 1. Eleven others were recorded as miscellaneous. These forest fires which resulted from just carelessness caused intital losses of $25,850 to land owners. ATTEND ENCAMPMENT Major- Raymond E.
