YELLOW AND BLACK COLORS
BEST FOR TRAFFIC. SIGNS

Black letters on Federal yel-
low" background arrest the atten-
tiOn Of the average observer to a
greater degree than any other COM
binatiOn of cOlors. according to tests
OF highway signs by engineers OF the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads and the United States Bureau
of Standards. The yellow back
ground was found also TO be more
conspicuous by contrast with the
average natural or artificial back
ground.
Ingenious apparatus was devised
for these tests so that observers, Sc
lected to represent actual and poten-
tial motor vehicle drivers, viewed
the signs at various distances for
different intervals of time. .r-
A distance of $50 feet was found
to be the point at which there was an
abrupt falling of in the readibility
of the signs used in the tests. SLOW"
Stop, Curve" Zone" and Turn"
were among the words used i'm the
tests. The signs tested by daylight
were of the 24-inch square and Oc-
tagonal shapes conforming to the
standards by the American AssOcia-
tiOn Of State Highway Officials. The
Shortest time in which the sign word
ing could be read distinctly ap-
parently was from 10 to 0.6 seconds.
Rejecting buttons improved the
reliability of signs at night so that
80 per cent of the observers read the
wording correctly at 200 feet when
lighted by standard motor headlights
as compared with 20 per cent for
nonrehecting signs.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
BY J. Thomas Price

BY J. Thomas Price
If the Spirit of Christmas
Could last all the year,
What wonderful world II would
be;
With the spirit of peace
And goodwill among men,
What wonderful world it would be.
If the song of the angels
OF peace and goodwill,
Could be heard by us all thru each
day;
And each tried to carry
II in our lives.
What a wonderful world it would be.
Milford chronicle., 1934-01-12

As you journey. my brother,
Through life's little day,
If only this truth you could see;
Could we live with each other
In peace and good will,
What a wonderful world it would be.
May we then catch the spirit
OF Christmas good cheer,
That makes the world happy and
free;
And scatter the sunshine
Throughout the whole year,
What a wonderful world 1t would be.
An ideal happy married state is
one where the wife goes her way
and the husband goes hers.

Municipal Committee suggested 10 this
Council to take this money from the

The Chairman: Hney figured on get

for Chrstiansted Town has brought

right to Nv m icy? hold nat this
municipality cannot borrow one cent, to
do that we would have TO get permission
from the United States.
Lieutenant Governor Laurence w.
CrGn1eY: Mr. Chairman. May answer
that? If this Council passes an ordinance
to set up loan from the Immigra-
ton fund that would have to go through
the regular channel, the bill would be
presented to the Governor and he would
act favoEably on it and he would ask
special consideration Application would
have to made asking thu President not
to exercise his right and you would
know whether or not 1t is acceptable to
the President. | can state that the
Comptroller Generals regulations OF
1892 very distinctly says that the Fede-

Virgin Islands. but an exception is made
in those regulations. and TO this effect
that the Federal practice shall be follow

The question is Whether the Council

The point is. can erritory which is not

it is whether territory is organized or
not, it is Dec 4use of the fact that such
territory or territories do not balance
their budget. Samoa may borrow money

not give it an app opriation. How can

The Chairman: The honorable member
knows that this body has power to do as
it likes in things of this sort We really
have more power than we think we have;
we have more power in some instances
than legislative bodies in the United
States. The money will be used to buy
two fire engines.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Chabert): Mr.. Chairman. Are there no
laws governing the expenditure of the
Immigration Fund?
Lieutenant Governor Laurence w.
Cranaeq' Mr.. Oh .rman. The Council,
according to my understanding, has COM
plete power TO decide by law what it shall
do with the immigration Fund. AS a
matter fact expenditures out of the I'm.
migration Fund need hot go to Washing
