Lawrence Mosteller (L) and Robert Morris, along with Benny Redmond
(not pictured) have a fine harvest of peas, corn, and especially tomatoes. The
garden is located at the intersection of Duncan Avenue and Washington Street.
Lawrence and Benny have been farming the site for ten years, but Robert
grins and says "It wasn’t till I came along and Joined them that it started
really producing”. Here they are shown picking tomatoes.
Morris have plants over
five feet high that abun

luscious tomatoes.
They started reaping the
harvest of tomatoes about
four weeks ago. But the

John L. Girard,
executive vice president of
the Georgia Motor Club,
affiliated with A.A.A.,
said, "Recognition is given
to cities and states that
have shown superior
achievement in their
pedestrian death and in
jury records and have
conducted pedestrian
safety programs. A record
2,462 cities in 31 states
participated in the survey
of pedestrian safety for
1975."
Pedestrian safety often
is given limited attention
in many traffic safety
programs, AAA maintains.
Vet, Girard noted, nearly
20 percent of all traffic
fatalities are pedestrians.
Through the program,
AAA and its affiliated
clubs hope to increase
public awareness of the
need for strong pedestrian
safety projects.
Citations are presented
on the basis of low
pedestrian death and in
jury figures and on ac
cident prevention
programs which are
evaluated in seven key
areas: maintenance of
efficient accident records,
safety legislation, en
forcement, traffic
engineering, traffic safety
organization, quality of
school traffic safety
programs and active
public information and
education programs.
