Utah Salt take City 1, Mechanical sign washer used by road department 1 The Utah State Department of Highways has inaugurated a mechanical device which will greatly speed the washing and cleaning of its signs and guard rails around the state. According to Jim West, Chief Maintenance Engineer, the washer utilizes a truck and a spray mechanism which combines a detergent and water in the desired ratios. Two men, utilizing a pickup truck and the washer are able to wash in one day approximately five or six miles of road signs on the highways much more effectively than the old method of a brush and bucket. The operator utilizes controls which can mix the water and detergent to the desired strength so that signs and guard rails that are especially dirty can be cleaned quickly, and effectively. Mr. West indicated that the Department intends to purchase six of the machines so that one machine may be placed in each of the states maintenance dis- Vol. 62 The Eureka (Utah) Reporter, Friday, July 3, 1964 New pastor at Fourth of July plans under direction of the City Firemen, are complete and point to a big time for the children par- -' events will begin at 10 a.m., Rev.

Is it some distant and unfamiliar place? Or is it close to home? Statistics compiled by the Research Section of the Utah State Department of Highways indicates that 61.6 of vehicle accidents occur within a radius of five miles from place of residency. According to J. Edward Johnston, Deputy Director of Highways for Planning and Traffic, sixty-thrpercent of fatal traffic accidents accur in the vehicle operator's home county. Another 17 percent occur in a county adjacent to the vehicle operator's home county, and 8 per cent within other counties of the state. This bears out the paradox that often the locations about which the public complains frequently have the fewest traffic accidents. T7ie reason seems to be that a dangerous looking spot is ee ments and Mrs. Ray Colbert both of Salt Lake; 23 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Rosella Phipps, a former Eurekan, now living in South San Gabriel, California. were con.

DONT Overload your craft or allow your passengers to move about in a way that may change its balance. Leave shore in a leaky or badly constructed boat Venture into dangerous or restricted watess. Operate near swimmers. Forget your wake can endanger others. Use gasoline stoves. Lie at anchor with a short scope of line. Mix liquor and boating. DO Observe the rules of the road. Carry approved life preservers for each person on board. Instruct at least one of your passengers in thP rudiments of handling your craft in case you are injured. See that all hands know what to do in an emergency and where to find the safety equipment. Check weather and tides before going out. Check gasoline system, make sure all tanks are vented, see that bilges are free of vapors, oil, waste and grease. . Be sure you have an adequate oil filter. Check your battery and maintain electrical equipment in accordance with good marine practices. Reduce speed through all anchorage areas. Reduce speed at night, and maintain a proper lookout at all times. Take your time in buying a boat or equipment for it; a bad bargain could cost you ' your life. Investors in the U. S.
