Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1967 Guard Veterans Elect Officers Nostalgic stories of heroism and tragedy in war flowed freely as members of the Utah National Guard Veterans of World War II and their wives attended an annual banquet to elect new offices at Jackling Hall Saturday night and renew old friendships. Col. Robert C. Pixton, 2948 St. Marys Drive, was elected new president of the organizaHe replaced William tion. Thompson, Maurice L. Watts, Improved standards in road edge striping and lane marking may one day save your life, even when youre driving in that big traffic snarl known as New York City. To give motorists an extra edge of safety, Americas first city is decorating 180 miles of limited access highways in their five boroughs. Edge lining and lane marking is expected to improve safety during the day and at night. Using special trucks and paint, traffic department crews are spraying a solid white line four inches wide on malls and curbs that divide the paved roadways and shoulders of the citys expressways. A double benefit is gained with the white lines, Henry A. Barnes, traffic commissioner, explained. Striping the malls and curbing establishes guide lines to help motorists determine width of the roadway. Secondly, the striping provides a sharp distinction between the ordinary road surface and the treated curbs on shoulders which, at night, glow in a cars headlights. Such edging and striping proves especially valuable as a safety feature at night or during bad Probate Notices weather. The painting program, Barnes stated, may well be a perpetual procedure in Manhattans effort to reduce accidents. When the present program is done in about a year, another will be started. Techniques of painting on canvas and on pavement can require a far different brushstroke as Barnes observed. Pavement painting, for example, is done in several ways. , Where there is a slanted curb, the curb itself is painted, but a straight curb requires a different technique, in which paint is laid six inches away from the curb. This is designed to prevent drivers from running into or jumping the curb. When there is no curb, painting is also done six inches in from the edge line to discourage drivers from wandering off the road. Will New York retain a No. One rating in such safety apBarnes believes it plications? wil, although edge striping and lane markings are becoming common features in many cities today.

(5-1- 6-- 9) Utah Town to Gain Training Center A coupled institutional and training (OJT) program has been approved by Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz for Brigham City, under the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA). Some 120 trainees will receive instruction and training in the occupations of short arc welder and gas brazier. The program has been divided into two sections. The first section began on April 24, with institutional training. After completion of the institutional training, the 80 trainees in this portion of the program will go into training. The second section, which overlaps the first, began on May 8, with 40 trainees. The institutional training is being conducted by the Vocational Education Department of Brigham City, and training is being conducted by the California Steel and Tube Company in Brigham City.

Pretty office secretaries easily adapted to the red jackets, although some complaints were registered about the hard hats which obliterated attractive hair styles. Maintenance and construction workers, accustomed to the routine, merely slipped into the hard hats and red jackets as a matter of course. The occasion was an effort by the Utah State Department of Highways to call public attention to the necessity for employees and the public to observe proper safety practices while driving or working around highway maintenance or construction areas. Governor Calvin L. Rampton issued a proclamation designating Friday as Hard Hat and Red Jacket Day, and called for public support of the effort. Our safety manuals for employees cover nearly every situation, stated Blaine J. Kay, State Highway Engineer. This may range from the safest way to climb a tree to what to do in case of a snake bite. Our flagmen are trained in the proper techniques of guiding motorists. What we find difficult to cope with is the apathy of the motoring public to safety devices established for their own safety. A typical state highway flagman is clothed in an orange or red jacket, with reflectorized belt and straps, and a hard hat. Among the tools that he will be h STOP using will be a and SLOW sign. At night the flagman will be using flashlights, lanterns and other lighted signals that will display a red light. He will be standing at least 100 feet away from a crew he is protecting and will be visible to traffic for at least 500 feet. In advance of maintenance and road construction, advance warning signs and flags will announce the flagman and prepare the traveling public road conditions existing Appointment of Joel E.

Mr. Kay stated that all proroll-ove- off-hour- ject engineers and shed foremen have been instructed to keep a daily record of violations and offenses concerning warning devices in the hope of coming up with a method that will eliminate this particular hazard. No road or vehicle can be safe at any time unless the driver knows how to and does handle both properly, he said.

Mr. Wehncke is a member of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers. xx':x-x- : 24-inc- on-comi- ng An enormous number of traffic violations and complete disregard for warning signs occur everyday during the heavy struction and maintenance consea- son, according to Mr. Kay. While the American public heartily supports highway safety generally, when specific facts are concerned, many of these same motorists are bored. When the automobile comes in, reason departs and an otherwise rational person succumbs to the automobile obsession. The public is impatient and their flagrant disregard of warning signs, the red jackets and hard hats and other caution signals,' have resulted in severe injuries and fatalities, not to mention the thousands of dollars damage to themselves, to public and property and construction equipment. One of the highway department districts reported that at least six violations of traffic safety of a serious nature occur every day. Among the most frequent violations are: cars re- - partments Bureau of Appren- ticeship and Training (BAT). Conrad B. Morgan is State Supervisor for BAT in Utah.
