Traffic just for drivers, they’reforpedestriansr
are’your signals of safety. Drivers and traffic officers expect you to obey
them. Yet in 1946, over 2,800 persons were killed at intersections. In
more than 4,000 jaywalked into the Hereafter between intersections. Fromj
all causes, 12,200 pedestrians—men, women and children—were given a.ride
to^the morgue! They.died at the rate of.33.every, day..
,Fantastic?rSurer but deadlyJrue.>
Of pedestrians killed who were old enough to drive, "only 10% ever drove*
a car. That may be one reason why pedestrians have to be told, again and
again, thaff traffic lights and all safety .regulations.are for them .too. They
have never experienced Jhe. responsibility of driving.j
If you are a pedestrian,'learn to cross with:the lights’never run’out
from behind parked cars, or .cross between intersections. Don’t stand in.thcs
street or. highway. Always.be alert.’
HAM AND EGGS
Ham and eggs are an efficient and
satisfying food combination. The
proteins in these two foods, according
to the Bureau of Animal Industry,
supplement each other so well that
when eaten together, ham and eggs
supply more nourishment than when
eaten separately.
