We Invite our readers to make use of this column. Knowing of the "Safety Cam­ paign” waged so successfully by your newspaper last year, I am wondering if this spring, you could wage a short campaign for the prevention of the complete annihilation of the poor .pedes­ trian. At any time of year it is peril­ ous to cross our Main street with cars seemingly disregarding all limits on speed. But it’s in . the spring when the bicycles come out of storage that I’m concerned about now, Twice this week I’ve nearly been run down by a bicycle. Where, do you ask? Right on the sidewalk which- I mistakenly (I guess) thought was for the use of pedestrians. When I asked the first of­ fender if he shouldn’t be riding on the road, he scornfully re­ plied “So what?” Today two schoolboys riding side by side, came up behind me so silently I didn’t hear them, but a chill up my spine warned me danger was approaching from the rear. I stepped over and they rode by me. Up to now, I’ve been fortunate enough to step in the right direction but had I zigged when I should have been zag­ ging, I’d not likely be able to write this request to you. I know bicyclists in the cities pay a license to ride their two wheelers. I’d gladly pay a small fee to be equipped with some sort of marker that would at least give me the right to use the sidewalks of our lovely town, unmolested by bicycles which I’m quite sure have no right there. Will for the tion of Young People Conduct Service The evening service was charge of the Young People’s societies of Main St. and James St. churches with a combined choir of young people leading in the singing. Marie Wildfong and Marilyn Skinner sang a duet and later in the service were joined by Bob RusselJ and Sterling Ince in a quartette number. Mary McKnight was in charge of the worship service assisted by Lorna Taylor who read the scripture lesson and Leo Witmer who led in prayer. Rev. John Stinson introduced an impressive Easter Shouted Crucify,” in drama, “I by Isobel Squires, which was presented by the young people of his congrega­ tion at North Side United Church, Seaforth.
