ACL To Use Color Plan
Forfeiture Shop Painting

What may turn into a "colorful
array of new shop equipment in
Atlanti. Coast Line shops all
along the line, was announced
yesterday by company officials.
Color dynamics, relatively
new science, is being incorporated
into the construction plans TO, the
new equipment and building now
being erected at the Montgomery,
Ala, plant, and if successful, will
be considered in other facilities
along the line.
Safety Builder
The experiment, first of its kind
on the entire railroad system, is
designed to improve safety con-
ditions, raise employe morale, and
reduce tension and fatigue of
workers, experts say.
Based on the accepted fact that
color has great influence on
human behavior, the new science
is employed to secure results,

the company.
Eye Strain
In practice, several restful co1ors
are used in surroundings to relieve
eye strain, monotony, and result
ing laxity which provokes acct
dents.
The bright colors are applied at
vital points, such as switches,
moving parts of machines, fire
fighting equipment, in order that
these spots will always be striking
ly visible to workers. The scheme
in general is blended to provide
cheerful working atmosphere.
Shops Rebuilt
The Montgomery shops, Destroy
ed by the tornado of 1914, are be-
ing rebuilt from the ground up.
Color dynamics will be the guiding
factor in the mill room, tool room,

toilet facilities, and on machinery
installed.
Colors of paints to be applied
are: vista green, locals ivory,
orange, yellow, red and black.
Focal Ivory
Vista green is used for non
critical areas of machines, since
it is a receding, everest color
that does not attract the eyes
away from the machines operating
parts. Focal ivory covers operat-
ing parts.
Red is used for switches because
of its high visibility and conse-
quent ease of location in case of
emergency. Orange marks manual
controls of machines, for the same
treason and also for added effici-
ency of operation.
For Body Parts
In new Montgomery shops, focal
green will be the color of all body
sections of machines, work
benches, tool bins, lockers, waste
cans. Focal orange Will be used
on hand wheels, levers grill guards
around machines, switches on
walls and columns, truck bodies
and other mobile equipment.
Focal yellow will be used on
machine numbers, safety signs,
waste can stripping, bodies of
cranes and booms; and focal ivory
on all moving parts Of machines.
Focal black is used for all other
parts of machines.
Blue Walls
A new era in wall colors are in
store for the once rather "drab"
shop walls. They will be painted
soft blue and ivory, with border
lines on lower sections, painted
gray.
Completion date for the shops
has not been announced, due to a
large degree on availability of ma
terials.

to learn to pilot plane.
While the mere desire to learn
to fly is a long way from private
pilots certificate, there is in to-
days poll at least some indication
of a bright future for the private
flying schools and private plane
manufa cturers.
On the average, people said they
would be willing to spend $100 for
learning.
Young people offer the best mar
ket. Fully half of those from 81 to
% years of age indicate they want
to become pilots, as contrasted to
people over so years of age, SO per
cent of whom say they have no in
terest whatever in learning to fly.
Men are somewhat better pros
poets for flying school statesmen
than women the poll finds. Civil
ian Aeronautic Administration fig
ures on the number of women hold
ing private flying certificates also
bears this out. Of the more than
100, 900 persons holding certificates
for private flying on January l,

Cotton is a leading source of vege

"For most Cotton Belt farms, cot

farms can make their greatest con-
