be on the alert for older
pedestrians,” according to

that longer hours of dark
ness, fog, snow, sleet and
rain make it harder for
drivers to see and stop in
time.
“For their part, older
persons should avoid jay
walking,” he said. “When
they walk, they should try
to avoid the hours between
4 P. M. and midnight, and
they should remember that
Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays are the worst ac

He has been dead for only 35(1 years, and what
they used to describe “lonely” before his time,
we don’t know.
We are sure people were “lonely" 40(1 years
ago—even though they didn't have a word for it.
You would be surprised how many !onel\
people there are in the world today. We know
a person who makes it a regular habit of call

The remarkable thing is that the phone calls
are a sure cure for her friend's loneliness as
well as her own.
It might be a good idea if more people make
a practice of this idea.
