i WHEN CARS WOULD GO BY AT PART I CULARL '1'- HIGH RATES OF' SPEED, I WOULD SHOUT AT THE \1
I DRIVERS TOSDOW DOWN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS JOJNED ME AND ~
I., RELATED THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT. HE TOLD ME THAT ON SUNDAY, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I:'j'
i~ HE AND HIS NEIGHBOR, A MAN WHO I WOULD JUDGE TO BE IN HIS 70'S, WERE WALKING ,..
Ii ON WEST 29TH AVENUE HEADED FOR THE STORE AT 29TH AVENUE AND WI LLAMETTE STREET.' il

1;....:.. PASSENGER. S I N:i1 T CAME SPEED I NG DOWN THE STREET, AND, AS MY NE I GHBOR' RELATES IT, iI'

I.i THEREUp6N, HE REPORTS, THE CAR WENT DOWN THt STREET ABOUT A BLOCK, TURNED AROUND, [I
~ AND RETURNED TO WHERE THE MEN WERE. THEREUPON THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR ASKED !
