AS traffic congestion and pollution worsen daily, many proposals are being put forward as a solution. However, there is one solution - for short journeys - both practical and economical which seems to have been completely overlooked.
It consists of standing erect, putting one foot in front of the other and repeating the process. It is a simple practice known as walking.
Such a practice is recommended by no less an authority than the Holy Bible. See Psalm 114 : 7.
T HOWARTH (Mr), Fowler Height Close, Blackburn.
