Show New sign for Utah highway The L9ht Touch !9' "A new sign appearing now on Utah highways may save your life or the life of someone else, said Mr. Henry C. Helland, Director of Highways. "A large brilliant red triangle now appears on Highway Department equipment which moves on roads at speeds under twenty-fiv- e miles per hour. This includes sweepers, mowers, and certain snow removal equipment", he said. "The red triangle emblem was developed by safety engineers for use on slow moving vehicles such as farm tractors, " said Mr. Helland. "Its unique design renders it applicable on all slow moving vehicles. Many of the states are adopting this standard, " He said. "It will likely become a standard nationwide, " added Mr. Helland. Utah will also use special signing indicating areas on Utah highways where a motorist will encounter a slow moving vehicles. The advance signing will also carry the red triangle but in a smaller size, " he said. "This new emblem is being used in an effort to make our highways safer for you and for Highway Department workers. Please recognize it for your safety, " he said. ..1.

Mfw- The big trees form a fitting background, then the house, then the shrubs in front of the house, then the lawns to front the street. The effect is one of beauty and good planning. But this isn't the first thing one noticed about the house. There are many ornamental shrubs and evergreen trees of some type placed strategically to enhance the comer situation. Hyrum has used local cedars and has trimmed them in shapes to draw attention to them. Those at the front of the house have been perfectly trimmed in cone like shapes. These 5 native junipers are sophisticate members of our local species, and are really attention -- getters. The huge fir is trimmed and coddled until it is also perfectly symmetrical with no unsightly branches out of place in its blue beauty. At Christmas, people come from all over to see it blazing from top to bottom with multicolored lights. Hyrum has to use the big town ladder to get the lights placed and to do his final trimming, but the effect is worth the effort. Hyrum trims his shrubs about 4 times each season. He taught himself the art of trimming trees and shrubs. The beautiful bridal wreath bushes are trimmed in ovals, and at this fall writing are gorgeous balls or oragey -- red color, glow ing in the sunlight. These balls are in various sizes, depending on their placement in relation to the house. The pyacantha with its profusion of red berries is something else again. In the back of the house, the bush runs rampant with its thorny limbs covered with red berries, for the birds to chatter over. The bush at the front of the house and at the left of the door has grosn to an immense height and width, but ingenious Hyrum, with his sense of proportion and artistry, has trimmed this bush into a huge throne under the east window. He has trained the fronds over o o the top of the w indow w ith its red berries for garnish, and under the w indow, for depth. The throne is fit for a king in his hunting robes, to thwart the thorns of the magnificent bush. Aroiuid the corner another lavish bush is almost espal-ie- d against the house, Hyrum does ajl the trimm- ing of the shrubs and trees, but Hester does the weeding and mowing. There is never a blade of grass out of place, nor a fallen leaf on the grass. The leaves are kept raked up and put into a compost pit in the back of the garden. This is the reason for such prolific growth of the roses and perennials that Hester grows with her green thumb. The lawns are fertilized with nitrate often, and are carpets of green all year long. The roses are magnificent in foliage and in huge blooms. A rare crepe myrtle graces the side yard. In the spring and summer, the place blazes with colon yswcm catcihi ative. Read pink petunias, orange marigolds, red fire bushes, buthe delicate purple fronds of the butterly bush and the pink mist of the beauty bush. In the fall, the leaves are all in their glory. . . muted reds and golds, bright yellow and scarlet, timid laven-d- ar and faded rose. Each season in this garden is one of beauty. An archway beckons one into the yard. This gate is covered with climbing roses artfully trained to cover up ill the wooden arch. Hanging in the center is a redwood sign "The Hyrum Blacks, " carved in the redwood. Don Ripley, in charge of the Hovenweep area, was a visitor one day and was so impressed with the beauty, symmetry, and landscaping ideas, that he made the plaque for the couple and presented it to them. It adds a personal note to the garden and lot. To make the street frontage more attractive, Hyrum planted iris and snap dragons around the telephone poles and around the new trees he has set out for future shade. It certainly livens the street up when the flowers are in bloom. There aren't many rocks for borders, and only a few short paths, but every inch of ground is utilized either for plants of some type, or the ground is bare. There are no weeds on the place. It is worth a trip to the Black corner to see the trees in their old world characters and to revel in the perfect grace and symmetry of the landscaping. Both Hyrum and Hester spend a great deal of time beautifying their home, inside and out, and they like to have people come and talk to them about it.
