Several resolutions were adopted directing nurses to become more involved in health services presently being delivered in their communities. Establish machinery for evaluation of competence and discuss other vital issues and challenges now facing the profesA Since the Eisenhower years, bicycling in this country has been enjoying a gradual renaissance. President Eisenhowers personal physician, the noted heart specialist, Dr. Paul Dudley White, was pictured in the news media aboard a bicycle which he touted as an ideal means of locomotion and exercise. Then came the physically vigorous Kennedy years when all Americans were encouraged to adopt a healthier, more active life style. Finally, of course, we came to the late sixties and early seventies and discovered how the internal combustion engine contributes to the smog problem. And the traffic, even in medium sized cities like ours, is so heavy at times as to make a simple trip to the grocery store seem like Mission Impossible. Bicycling has a lot going for it. Its cheap, clean, healthy, friendly, noiseless. It takes you places a car cant. Its a great family sport, and we salute those families weve seen out pedaling together. Unfortunately, almost everything thats fun can be dangerous as well. Bicycling is no exception. Hundreds of children in Salt Lake County are riding bicycles that are not equipped with any safety devices whatsoever. This is extremely dangerous, especially during the evening hours. Bicycles without reflectors and head lamps are very difficult for the motorist to see until he is abreast of them Many bicycles have no bell or other warning device. The County ought to set up minimum standards for bicycle safety including both the actual design of the bicycle and the safety equipment it should carry. And secondly, the County, in cooperation with other county governments and with the state government should plan bicycle trails in scenic areas. Certain streets and roads in the County should be designed as bicycle thoroughfares with special lanes off to the side where they would not interfere with automobile traffic. Such a program would not cost a lot of money. The main things needed are imagination and planning on the part of our County leaders. LetR make bicycling safer and more fun for everyone. three-da- y sion of nursing. elected Newly follows officers as : Sister M.
