Edward Johnston, engineer of planning, traffic and transportation of the Utah State department of highways. As of January 7, contract had not been signed subject to the approval by the Attorney Generals office. When it is signed, the contract specifies completion within sixty working days. The new signal will be a part of the electronically controlled System which extends from South Temple to 4500 South.

Farnsworth, 3751 South 4225 West; Carl Sandberg, 3900 South 5325 West, and Twin Peaks, 5325 South 1045 East. Asked if those who live north of 33 rd South could be bussed to Roosevelt School, Dr. Call said, If the district tried to bus all the children where there are hazards, something else would have to suffer as a result of this added expend- ; , Regarding the pending installation of the left turnlndi-cato- rs at 33rd South, Mr. Johnston said, It is fortunate that there have not been more pedestrian accidents at this intersection, but the motor vehicle accidents have been extremely high. This installation will require some duplication of cost, but if Injuries can be prevented, or lives the additional cost saved, would be trivial, Mr. Johnston stated. He added that at a recent meeting of safety officials in which I attended, Denver school flashers where traffic signals are present were not recommended. I cannot see, however, that they hurt anything and might be helpful, he said. Mr. Johnston statedthatno would be specified. speed They are intended as warning signs to warn motorists of the school crossing ahead, he said. Dr. Call made these comments at a public meeting held December 11 by Mrs. 3406 Neeley, Raymond P. South 620 East. Atthg same meeting Fay H, Johnson, Principal of Roosevelt Elementary School, ' 875 East 33 rd South, reported that approximately 190 children live welst of 7th East that attend Roosevelt School; about 55 live south of 33rd South and 135 live north. This number does not include the sixth graders being bussed to the East Millcreek School, he said. Mrs. Neeley held the meeting following injury to Michael Earl, 9, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmo J. Earl, 3138 South 6th East, who was struck by a car while crossing 7th East at 33rd South on December 6 (in the fog) while enroute to school. At the beginning of the school year Mrs. Neeley had made inquiry as to what could be done to protect the school children who cross 7th East at each school crossing; she had inquired of various county and state officials, with no results. Its a real pity that the officials involved had to wait for a serious injury accident before they would actually do anything about this particular crossing, Mrs. Neeley said ruefully. According to his parents, Michael Earl is making satisfactory progress. He had suffered a fractured left tibia, and the cast will be on Dr. John Reed Call, in that for tot weeks in all, charge of pupil personnel of according to their doctor. He the Granite School District, also suffered a fractured pelsaid that probably all elemen vis, which did not require a cast. He sustained brain hemorrhage, bram concussion, also numerous bruises and abrasions. So far he has had three spinal taps. He was hospitalized for 12 days. Mrs. Neeley expressed appreciation to those who'at-tendher meeting, especially those who answered the questions as submitted on the agenda. ed The school officials involved were most cooperative," she said, in sending notices to the students, as well as answering questions at the meeting and helping in subsequent work. The news media have been especially helpful, and Im sure that the publicity they gave our cause has helped the most of anything," she concluded. Drivers aged from the upper 50s through the 80s and 90s are expected to participate in a course of instruction and medical examinations, the first of which wiltbegin February 14 at 4:30 p.m. at tfiff Senior Citizens RecreaUoft Center, 237 10th East.

Length of the course will be determined later this week Soon after her appointment as PTA Review editor, Mrs. Raymond P. (Bemeice) Neeley, 3406 South 620 East, called the Review to ask if she could do a story on the hazards to school children crossing 7th East. .Subsequently two articles were printed in the October 21 and 28 "Wasatch editions of the Review with the front page headline "Two Streets Not So Safe and a 7th East busiest of all. Subsequent pages of thq papers had headlines blaring "Seventh East: High speed, heavy ' traffic, and danger.. In these articles she told of the five schools having a total of 780 elementary school children crossing 7th East, the number of accidents, school safety programs, etc. New requests for flashing signals at 7th East and 33 rd South were sent to appropriate county and state officials; no action was taken until after Mrs. Neeley advertised sub-headl- and held a "pubUc meeting December U. The meeting was caHed after a child was struck in the crosswalk at 7th East and 33rd South while enroute to Roosevelt School, 875 East 33rd South. Prior to the meeting, copies of the agenda were distributed to the newspapers and radio and television stations, and Mrs. Neeley enjoyed being interviewed regarding the meeting. It was fun. too, to hear myself on KSL radio, as well as to hear Wes Vernons Background program on the subject. reIt was a little scary to be interviewed by the KSL.-T- V porter, but it was satisfying to see thp report they made of the meeting, Mrs. Neeley reported.

I just hope all the promises materialize this time, Mrs. Neeley concluded. t 8550 Prior to being hired by. the Review as PTA editor, Mrs. Neeleys reporting to newspapers was when I was a high school correspondent for the Salt Lake Telegram during my sailor year (class of 1944)." Mr. and Mrs. Neeley have six children, four of whom attend Roosevelt School, and must cross 7th East and 33rd South daily to get to and from school. 'Tve really tajoyed doing the PTA news, Mrs. Neeley said, "and 1 wily regret the Review doesnt print everything I send.
