WARNING LIGHT
ASKED FOR ROAD

The board of county commits
sioners yesterday determined that
erection OF a flashing light would
be most effective" in preventing
automobile accidents on the high.
way curve at Greenfield Park.
where four men lost their lives in
wrecks within 40 days.
This opinion in the form of
recommendation yesterday was
forwarded to T. T. Belts, of Fay
etteville. division engineer of the
State Highway and ublic Works
Commission, under the signature
of Board Chairman Addison Hew.
lett. A copy was directed to R. v.
Biberstein Of Burgaw, district engi-
neaf.
The boards action was the out
come Of a resolution adopted Mon
day when complaints were heard
by commissioners relating to the
hazard caused by lights from auto
mobiles travelling on the section Of
Front street that passes near the
Greenfield curve.
City Manager A. c. Nichols has
made two requests to the Highway
Commission for safety measures
to be established at the curve, the
first following the death of three
Marines in collision November
IL. The fourth victim. Sanford
Randell, was killed Saturday night.
the highway official follows:
"A number OF fatal accidents
have occurred recently on the curve
on the Carolina Beach Highway inn
mediately south OF the Greenfield
Bridge. The lights from automo-
biles travelling on the shipyard road
leading into Front street ar con-
fusing ana contribute largely to
this danger and we believe prop
err caution signal at this intersec-
ton would greatly lessen this
hazard.
fThis was discussed at our meet
ing held Monday, December ID,
and a resolution was adopted to
request your Commission to make
an investigation of this dangerous
curve and install the most prac-
teal signal TO make it as safe for
vehicular travel as possible.
After visiting this point it is
our opinion that flashing light
placed at this intersection would be
most effective.
Eve urge that you please give
this matter your attention at the
earliest moment possible.

swung into brisk rally today
although many market leaders
failed to join the sprint.
Belief that the German drive
in Europe would prolong the war
and accentuate demand on car
riers and munitions makers re-
vived bids in these departments
after a slow and mixed opening.
The darker. outlook for civilian

restrain numerous pivotals. Com
|mitnents also were reinstated on
the idea the recent decline had
served as a fairly good technical
correction of the lengthy advance
to 7-year peaks.
The fact that all markets will
recess Monday for the holiday
kept some customers in neutral
territory while others held aloof
to await outcome of the Nazi
thrust. Dealings were lively when
the push got under way in the

were reduced in most cases at
