Officer Warns
Against Blocking
Walks With Bikes
All Traffic Rules
Apply To Bicycles
He Points Out
Bicycle riders were reminded to-
day by Chief of Police Jack Big-
gerstaff that the same traffic rules
governing automobiles also govern
them.
“The state highway department
holds that bicycles should be rid-
den, parked and handled in the
same manner as automobiles,”
Chief Biggerstaff said.
He warned those who ride bi- --0-
cycles against parking them on ’ The flow of non-food civilian
sidewalks in such a way as to j goods to the domestic market of
block pedestrian traffic or on the j the United Kingdom had been re
streets in such a manner as to j duced to one-third of pre-war vol- old fashioned mutton suet,
block automobiles. ! ume by the middle of this year,1 Grandma'sfavoriteTDemand
“I have seen bicycles thrown1 the Department of Commerce says ^ar*L’oTdouble Supply6 35£?
around on the sidewalks in such t
a manner that it is impossible for
pedestrians to get by. They ei- •
ther had to get out in the street
or pick their way gingerly through ,
the field of bicycles,” he said. j
“The city doesn’t want to work
any hardship on boys and girls
who ride bicycles, but we do ex- j
pect them to obey the traffic rules
and not block sidewalks with their j
parked bicycles.” he added.
“Where the sidewalk is ^ide, the
cicycles can be parked along the I
edge, but not in the middle of the !
walk or against the windows of
the stores,” he pointed out.
The chief said that if bicycle
riders persisted in blocking side-
walks with their parked bicycles,
the city would find it necessary
to take more drastic measures.

Worth Of Bonds
W. E. Meredith of this city, says
he tried to get in the army—no
soap—wouldn’t take him. So what
to do? He was not long in find-
ing out what he would do—he
would buy bonds, and he has
bought them. He admits he has
$1225.00 invested in Uncle Sam’s
securities w.hich sounds patriotic
itself.
