KALKIGII - In an effort to com
bat a bicycle death rate averaging
three a month two of these being
under 20 jears of age ,the High-
va Safety Division of the North
Carolina Department of Motor Ve
hicles has launched a campaign to
organize bit-vcle safety clubs
throughout the State, the Depart
ment reported today.
During the first eight months of
this vear 2(i persons were killed in
bicycle accidents. Fifteen of these
were under 20. Oddly, all 15 were
boys. In the same period 156 per
sons were injured. 117 being under
20. an increase of 43 in injuries
among youngsters over last year. Of
the 117 youngsters who were hurl.
105 were hoys and 12 girls. Division
officials accounted for (he higher
incident of deaths and injuries
among boys by pointing out lhal
more boys than girls ride hikes
and that boys are inclined to be
more daring than girls.
I With Ihe opening of schools
j throughout the Stale. Ihe Highway
Safety Division saw increased haz
I ai'd in carelessly operated bicycles
j as youngsters pedal back and forth
to school and band together for all
J mil iiiBs.
j Working through ils field repre
sentatives, the division is assisting
interested communities, in laying
the groundwork for setting up bi
cycle safety clubs, with local or
ganizations sponsoring the groups
In communities where no interest
has been expressed, field represent-
atives are attempting to arouse in
terest by pointing out that bicycle
accidents rate high on the list of
highway mishaps that kill and in
jure the youth of the State each
year.
Under the supervision of Z. E
Helms, Raleigh, chief of the driver
improvement and educational sec
uon oi the Division, a number of
pamplets have been prepared out
lining methods of organizing bi
cycle safety clubs, conducting bi
cycle operation and maintenance
tests, and stimulating interest in
safe bicycling through contests and
games.
Safety experts have found that
bicycle safety clubs have had a
marked effect in cutting down on
accidentrln area-WneTeTner Have
been Organized, Helms said. .
