Kids Skitching On Their Sleds in 1943
From the January 10, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"The alertness of an auto driver during the forenoon averted a serious accident when boys on sleds were coasting on Center Street in Sycamore. The driver of the machine was able to swerve his machine and thus narrowly missed the youngsters.
"The matter was reported to the police and Chief George Meier states that unless the coasters stay out of the street during this icy weather, it will be necessary to confiscate some sleds. The kids are again hitching their sleds to autos unbeknownst to the driver, and this also is a dangerous practice.
Those Crazy Kids. --RoadDog
