wears a road safety glow­ worm medallion presented to ; them on Tuesday by P e t e r , and D o ro th y Whiteside, • who run : the newsagent’s shop in, Well- gate. - Mr and Mrs Whiteside


decided to., buy a batch of medallions to sell in the


shop after reading about them- in a Sunday news­ paper, which was running a road safety campaign sponsored by Jimmy Savile.


. . . . cWhen their daughter


Joanne (9), - a member of ttie Brownie pack set the trend by wearing her-


glow-worm reflector, her parents decided the 24 other members should also benefit. J o a n n e ’s b ro th e r s ,


Michael (16) and David (12), also find.the reflec­ tors useful when they are out delivering newspap­ ers. The reflectors are


visible to motorists from a quarter-of-a-mile away. Mrs Whiteside is full of


praise for the medallions, which are two-and-a-half inches, in diameter and . slim enough to slip into a pocket in'the daytime. They! are adhesive- backed , to -.stick on '• clo­


thing or can , be hung


round the neck. Akela Mrs Frances


Nelson said the Brownies were pleased to . accept the glow-worms. The area in Lowergate where they meet, is particularly dark and the road is dangerous, to cross at night.:' .
