Fisher, of Stratford, draws attention Co the necessity for sortie. sort of a path along the highways where pedestrians can walk in safety. One suggestion is that such paths should be made of cement, but Dr. Fisher believes that gravel or cin- ders would serve the purpose, be less expensive and provide as well a place for those who use bicycles. There is need for such paths right away, particularly in the more thick- ly populated : sections where pedes- trians have now to use the roads Children going to rural schools could also do so with a•, far greater meas- ure of safety. A pedestrian venturing on a high way at night is taking a risk now,., and this risk• will increase as .atito traffic 'grows. This is a timely suggestion,n, for which one more reason may be giv- en. Modern motor traffic moves along at a ra ! pace, with little from ns if not exceeding the legal limit, and raisies . almost blinding clouds of dust. A couple of high-powered cars corn ing in opposite 'directions makea dust cloud almost equal to a desert sand- storm, and to the pedestrian this is the greatest menace, particularly if a ear is closely following one of thein, The air is too thick to see any lis. tanee, As a matter of economy, let alone . the added safety affotdled t tri. l andpedestrians alike all motorists 1 , leading ;roads, not paved., should be given a coat of oil yearly: The initial cost might appear a bit big, but it will pay big dividends.
