Don't pedestrians everywhere have the right of way as they do in California? Gloria S. Dear Gloria: Regulations vary from place to place. Thats the problem. There are cities where the pedestrian has the right of way the instant he sets foot on a marked pedestrian crossing. In others, unfortunately, the rule of the quick and the dead still seems to prevail. But strangers cant be expected to know local rules, so the best policy is "be careful and courteous. Usually downtown streets are clearly marked with crosswalks and Walk or Dont Walk lights. These safety routes were put there for the safety of both the walker and the driver, and should be obeyed. Most drivers are to pedestrians courteous caught in the middle of the street with a changing light, but it is annoying when pedestrians walk like they have a special permit. Cooperation and courtesy applies to both drivers and walkers. Elizabeth Have a car safety question f Write to Elizabeth Stimley, P.O.

For instance, a quarter of beef weighing 125 pounds could trim out to about 87 pounds, so figure cost per pound on the trimmed meat. Next, be sure to wrap meat properly for freezing. Wrappings should be sealed carefully to keep natural moisture in and air out. By Elizabeth Stimley Plymouth Safety Writer S0CCER1 FOOTBALL li months or longer depending on type and cut.
