YOU'LL be crazy about "MAN CRAZY" Comedy, "Live News" lQCAILL Prize Night Wednesday JACK ULHAU Admission 35c and 15c 'WALK OX THE LEFT" ADVICE IS ENDORSED The following communication appeared in a recent Issue of a coast paper and a Sardis reader endorses the Idea with the observation that "it everyone followed this advice there would be very few accidents." "WALK ON THE LEFT" IS ADVICE TO PEDESTRIANS Sir, I am prompted to write this letter owing to' the large number of accidents due to people walking at night on the right hand side of country roads, and even on city streets without sidewalks. They are walking, they eay, according to law, on the right side of the street. If this Is true, it is time the law was changed. Pedestrians should walk on the left side and meet the traffic. Motoring to Seattle this summer, I observed the majority of pedestrians across the line met the traffic, and I noted In your columns recently that Ontario Is warning the people to walk to meet the traffic.

Any motorist will agree with me that there are times at night when It Is impossible to see a person walking on the road, especially If their clothes blend with the color of the road. Let people walk to meet the traffic and they will see danger in time to step to the side. One man recently told me that he, would walk on the right side and if anyone hit him they would have to pay for it. I have failed to see a damage suit relieve suffering, or a dead man collect damages. E.
