WATCH THE YELLOW STRIPE
ON HIGHWAYS

There naugurated this year in Ohio a
plan of marking danger spots on the 5000 miles
OF highways outside municipalities to help the
drivers OF automobiles protect themselves against
accidents and death. The highway patrol OBJ
serves that thoughtful careful motorists are
obeylng the silent command of the yellow no
passing stripe painted the highways wher-
ever danger lurks-wherever slight distances are
restricted, such as the crests of hills, or at curves
or where it is necessary to drop from three
lane back into two-ane roadway
wise motorist will not cross that yellow line
when 1t is on his side of the white or black CEN
ter line on the pavement, because the wise mo-
torlst appreciates that the yellow stripe was put
down at that spot for his protection However.
where the yellow stripe the side of the white
or olack center line opposite to the traffic lane in
which the wise motorist is driving, that motorist
knows he may cross that yellow line in safety.
There are still too many automobile drivers in
Onlo observers say, who thoughtless heed
less without regard for the rights of others and
unwilling to help in any program which NAV be
eVolved TOR the benefit of all, such as a traffic
safety program. Those motorists are not ohev
ing the yellow "no-passing" paint stripe warn
lngs. They are crossing those lines at points
wnere there is danger, and they are proving to be
real menace IN traffic where the majority of
urlVers want to obey the law Perhaps those
eenougntless, headstrong drivers haven't been suf
hclently educated in highway safety If +h,+ :;
ASo0
ing courteous on the open road. and obev;no 49,
laws before it is too late. ''i~
ihe brutal truth is that the commodity known
as highway safety will be found purchasable at
cost tar below the total economic loss occasioned
oy calamtous and wasteful highway casualties
whenever the reckless and the needless drivers
are deprived of the right to use the public roads
II IS noteworthy that the highway patrol is bear
ing down on the driver who goes at excessive
ana dangerous rates of speed
The Ohio department of highways introduced
the yellow "no-passing" stripes on the pavements
OF the state roads, and the campaign against drv-
ing at dangerous rates of speed in an effort to
make the highways safer for the 100000 car
owners who use them.
The practical, workable solution of the high
way accident problem will not forever remain a,
plaything of theorists and whipping boy for de-
plorers if everyone using the roads will obey the
reasonable injunctions of the authorities whose
JOB 1T is to protect the public from traffic dangers
and the reckless drivers who increase traffic
hazards.

Within an easy hour. and half
drive of half of Ohio's population
is one of the States finest recrea-
ton areas.
This is the 28-square-n,iie Ply
natuning Reservoir on the border
between Ohio and Pennsylvania.
This entire area has been ia
nous for its wealth and variety
of animal and bird life. The BIZ
ologist, the nature photographer,
the botanist, and other students,
find material for study, not avail
able elsewhere.
On both the Ohio and the Penn
sylvania sides are great bird sane
tuaries. In addition, much of the
land around the lake is being
planted to forest, which will in
clude many plant species adapted
for wildlife food and cover.
In the Fall and Spring vast
hocks of ducks and geese visit
this great lake on their migratory
flights, with many of the ducks,
especially, n testing 6 lon 6 the
shores.
But Pymatuning Lake is not OF
interest to the naturalist alone. Al
