Davis, president of the Johnstown Motor Club, in a spe- cial plea to parents to be sure that Johnny or Mary—especially if they are in the 5-to-14-year age bracket — know, understand and follow them since this is the age group with the worst record of bicycle-traffic deaths. “Accidental deaths of children in the. 5-14-year group numbered over 6,000 last year, with some two-fifths, or 2,500, being the re- sult of auto accidents,” Davis said. “About half of these invol- ved children as pedestrians, but some 300 were deaths of bicycl- ists.
