The street signs will be erected in connection with the regulatory signs wherever possible said Commissioner Roberts, however, it may be that we can get the help of the unincorporated communities in placing of the street signs. One significant change that motorists will note Is the absence of so many stop signs in the new program. These are being replaced by Yield signs, primarily because they have been found to be more acceptable to the public. Everyone resents coming to a complete stop on some of our roads wherever visibility is good and Yield signs place the responsibility as well as do stop signs on the motorist, according to the Commissioner.

We need to deny this thought of age and not let it have any power over us. Some persons think in terms of age. They are always thinking of how old they are. or of how old someone else is. Sometimes they preface almost every remark with the phrase at my age.
