ARCTIC VETERAN FLIES TO JUNEAU FROM BARROW
F Former Commissioner and Trader Going Below
 for Trip

Fifty-three years in the Arctic, square -shouldered Charles Brewer, veteran trader from Point Barrow and the Arctic shores, dropped into Juneau at three o'clock this after noon aboard the PAA Elctra, after flying from Barrow to Nome to Juneau.
 Where am I going?" Brewer smiled. Just outside for awhile first time in about three years, to get little rest and do little bus mess"
 Brower known for years as the King of the Arctic" worked his way into the Boring Sea country aboard an old steam whaler in 1874, and built for himself a chain of trading posts all along the Arctic coast. His son, David, operates them, now.
 He has been United States Com missioner in legal terms and he has been the guardian angel of Eskimos from Nome to Aklavik in his own right. He has taken part in almost countless rescues of lost and strand ed travellers caught in the tolls of an Arctic waste.
 He is quite the most colorful man above the Arctic Circle.

Separate Traffic Signals
 Keep Pedestrians in Line
FOURTH IN A SERIES By The AP Feature Service

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Traffic signals for pedestrians - that's system that has helped San Fran cisco to curb motor accidents.
 Market Street-commonly known as eThe brought pedestrian signals into being It's the city's widest busiest thoroughfare, has four lines of busy street car tracks down the center
 Every Which Way
 Side streets enter Marget at right angles and at acute angles, creating numerous five points, At many intersections a street car conductor must call not one street name but three. Certain dead ends force traffic into a left turn, further con- fusing the pedestrians. From Mob and Russian hills cable cars descend to the very edge of the Market street pedestrian lanes. There they run onto turntables in the middle of the street and this creates anoth- CT pedestrian hazard
 To overcome these difficulties, pe- pestrian signals were installed along Market street in 1926. The signals are separate standards bearing red and green lights and rising only to eye level. When the higher traffic signal reads "go' the pedestrian signal reads stop" and vica versa.
 Pedestrians Must Watch
 Observance of pedestrian signals is required by city ordinance.
 The Market Street pedestrian lane is sometimes 50 tc 100 feet from the auto traffic signal and it is in such cases that the pedes- trian signal is especially valuable. Next article is: Salt Lake City Uses
