Bicycle Safety Week Designated Starting April 18 The Lincoln School ParentTeacher association has designated the week of April 18 as bicycle ' safety week. During the next two I weeks, under the supervision of I Miss Kathryn Kauffman, a poster contest will be held at the Lincoln school in grades four, five and six to acquaint the children with the bicycle safety rules. Miss Kauffman will have the list of safety rules, from which the I pupil may select one for his illusj tration. There will be a prize for the best poster in each grade. Climaxing the week's safety I activities will be a Scotch-lite-a-bike campaign which the P. T. A. is sponsoring, to prevent nightI time accidents involving bicycles. I and to make bike-riding youngsters visible at night. National statistics show that more than half of the deaths and injuries of bicycle riders occur in the age group from five to 14 years. By applying a strip of silver Scotch lite tape to each handle-bar and front fork, and three horizontal strips of red tape on the rear fender, cyclists can be seen by motorists from any angle of approach. A check of the six grades at the Lincoln school shows approximately 300 bikes are owned by the pupils. Mrs. Louis Jacobs and Malcom Locke are co-chairmen of the campaign, and will arrange to have the bikes Scotchlited by volunteer workers on the afternoon of Thursday. April 21. — The Amer.can Automobile Association says headlight glare is the No. 1 enemy of night driving.
