umbrella he was followed by jeering crowds these failed to shake him from his purpose which was to keep dry and in time his scoffers followed his sensible example today the briton who does not own an

government might come out for free movies if things keep going as they are some government will but the movies which cost money would have to be paid for by tax payers just as taxpayers pay for free

norfolk eng land a widow was awarded 10000 damages her husband was killed when riding on the pillion motor cycle she sued both the driver and the pedestrian who caused the accident by stepping oil the side walk without looking causing the cyclist to swerve suddenly so as to avoid hitting him very frequently the person really responsible for an accident is not the driver at all in some cases pedestrians are responsible in other cases we suggest the guilty parties are parents who permit young children to wander at large pedestrians and cyclists are how ever probably the major offenders we should like to see some action taken to impress upon them their responsibility perhaps the norfolk case will serve as a warning even more effective would be a case nearer home not necesstiily a civil
