Modern Traffic Too Fast for Eyes That old, Says Orie Who a Vales Lives Over Convenience.

JOE COLLIER ~*~ ; A mild little man, 69 years old, slipped into the office 1 say that’ he believed all persons his age should be prohibited from driving autos. : “One’s eyes aren't so good,” he explained, “when one reaches this age. And one’s reflexes aren’t so fast. Three years ago, we coilld keep up. But traffic is thicker now, and faster, and we just can’t make it.”

This man was Grant Zimmerman, 107. N. Drexel-av. He was wearing |

a cap, a heayy overcoat and he just happened to be passing by, he said. But he has been worried over traffic, and he thought he’d just say what he thought about it. “My wife and 1,” he said, “run a candy store at 4019 E. New York-st, and it’s full of children several times a day. Cars go pretty fast out there and we hold our breath when the children leave, for fear they'll be hurt. “There isn’t anything you can do about warning kids that age about traffic. It helps sometimes, I suppose, but when their enthusiasm is roused, impulsively, they forget all about warnings.”

First Public Utterance

The man paused. He said this was the first time he had, so to speak, taken a public matter in his own hands. He insisted he is now and always has been one of the most humble persons in the city. He has lived here more than 60 years.

“I know what I'm talking about on that old-age driving ban, too.

Last July I took my car out of stor-

age, where it had been for three years, and had it reconditioned. “I had driven pretty steadily for 10 years before I put the car away, and I got it out: again because I

had taken a wholesale agency for |

model airplanes. : “I have 30 drug and hardwate stores in pretty nearly every part of the city on my calling list, and I figured that with the car I could take the stock right along with me and make sales and deliveries in one stop. Drove Only Three Times

“I drove only three times. Last time I was out I nearly got. hit three times pulling out.from a curb. Just wasn’t - fast enough for the traffic. Well, sir, I drove:-home and told my wife: ‘Mamma,’ I ‘said, ‘I'm through driving.’ ” N «Cold feet?’ she asked. » - ‘Yes, I said.

“And the car. has been disposed of. I think a lot of others my age would be better off without driving. Also boys under 19, I believe, should stay out of drivers’ seats.” He put on his cap, and stood up. “If some one with influence would get after the Legislature,” he said, “maybe we would get some good laws.” And he walked out to make the rounds of his 30 drug and hardware stores afoot, taking the longer trips by street car.
