And he has received an award of merit from the National Federation of Music Clubs. In addition,'. Dr. Robertson was appointed first distinguished research professor at the University of Utah. Scattergunners will have about the same season for 1968 as they did last year in which to pursue the ringneck, as the Fish and Game Board in their meeting last week established this years season length of from days. Utah and Salt Lake Counties will have the shortest hunts running from November 26, with slightly longer hunt set for November 8 in Beaver, Carbon, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Piute, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Tooele, Wasatch, and Wayne Counties. Sixteen day hunts from November will be held in Box Elder, Cache, Daggett, Davis, Duchesne, Morgan, Rich, Summit, Uintah, Washington, and Weber Counties. A season of November has been set for state and federal lands which will provide even more opportunity for the dedicated pheasant hunter. Shooting will start at 8:00 a.m. opening day with the balance of the seasons shooting time set at daylight hours. Bag and possession limit this year is three and six respectively, with roosters only being legal targets. Several persons appeared before the Fish and Game Board when the season was set and the hunt as established was a compromise of the recommendations received by the Board this year. The biological data submitted from Division of Fish and Game field personnel indicated populations are at a good level and biologically pheasants can sustain a much longer season. In fact, a number of persons, including landowners, have indicated desire for a longer season than is established. Hunters, primarily during the pheasant season, must plan their hunting to insure that the relationship between sportsmen and landowners remain favorable and endeavor to improve these relationships whenever possible both during the season and at other times of the year. 5-2- 3 2-- When you drive the highways have you ever wondered why so many of the large signs that give distances and directions are green? Because they show up best, because they are the most easily recognized, against most types of environmental backgrounds encountered by the day time driver. This is one of a number of significant conclusions of a new four year study on highway signs done by Dr. Theodore W. Forbes, department of psychology and division of engineering Research, Michigan State University. The study is designed to aid traffic engineers and sign designers in creating maximum effect signs, those most readily seen and recognized by drivers. The Forbes study is particularly valuable because it is the first of its type to examine the recognition values of various sign background colors as they relate to natural background colors in a given area. Briefly, the report says that a sign' with poor contrast against its natural background has to be twice as big as a sign with good color to natural background contrast, in order to provide the same attention value and understanding at the same distance. Highway Officials Caution on Political Posters Enthusiastic political parties and candidates were cautioned about the placement of outdoor advertising signs on state highway right of way. "There is in effect a definite outdoor advertising law which regulates advertising in certain areas along out state highways, said J. Clark Elmer, public relations director, Utah State Department of Highwaysi . "Also, most cities and counties have Of all colors and color shades tested, brilliant green was the best in the most situations, especially against grass, dark hills, dark trees, buildings and highway bridge backgrounds, which, according to a related study, account for more than half of all daytime summer background situations encountered by the average driver. Dark green had hated high in tests involving the bright backgrounds such as sky and snow. The report says that since the brilliant green did rate as the best sign background color on most natural backgrounds, its use in highway standards is justified. This contrast relationship is equally important at night, according to the study report, indicating that sign backgrounds, as well as legends, should be of reflective material for easy visibility in headlights at night. Here again, lack of good contrast with the surroundings can reduce sign effectiveness by as much as 50 per cent. The information contained on a traffic sign is of course, the whole purpose of the existence of the sign. But in order to give you its information, the sign must first attract your attention. strict zoning laws and ordinances which regulate outdoor advertising and the placement of signs and posters. Unauthorized signs on highway right of way will be removed and the owner will have to pay for this expense if he desires to have his sign back. In case of doubt, it would be well to check with the Highway District Engineer to be certain that an outdoor sign is not infringing on the right of way. Mr. Elmer urged all political candidates and parties to be careful during coming months on the placeement of outdoor signs so that enforcement can be kept to a minimum. 2-- 17 2-2- (DESERET NEWS PHOTO) 4 Science Warns of Harmful Harmony A person who allows himself to be lulled to sleep by music from a quietly playing radio may be harming himself without knowing if. This preliminary finding of the National Research Council of Canada is the result of a new method of analyzing the effects of noise on sleeping subjects. Levels of noise as low as 50 decibels (the rating of a quiet radio) can disturb a sleeper without actually awakening him. The disturbance causes the subjects to go from a deep sleep, which is known to be necessary to a for a persons shallow sleep. While sleeping, the subjects brain wave patterns are recorded on magnetic tape rather than on the standard electroencephalograph (EEG) chart. During playback the tape is run through at 50 to 100 times the original speed and the EEG signals can be analyzed by a sound level recorder that indicates the depth of sleep. Since the procedure permits an investigator to take an eight-hou- r recording and scan it for meaningful data in less than 10 minutes, it is expected to gain wide acceptance as an analytical instrument in other areas of sleep research. high-spee- d well-being- ,, "Do you love America?
