Thut Puid Vocation

Union members have always taken special satisfac-
ton out of paid vacations 1t only few that
nobody thought of giving the in the shop vacation
with pay That something special for the folks in the
front office The man in the shop could take his vacation on
a layof.
Collective bargaining through trade unions changed all
that Today paid vacation clauses written into almost all
union contracts Except for two big industries the
in the shop gets his vacation just like anybody
else.
This year those union-made vacations going to be
especially easy take For thousands of working and
women this years vacation going to pay doubleonce
when they take and the second time because paid vacations
going to fewer ayos during the slack weeks this
summer.
Figure it this way. If 100 men in shop schedul
ed to take their vacations this month under the union
tract they will be absent from work for weeks apiece
average That's weeks of work Two hundred weeks
of paid vacations ulltime employment for so
this month in that shop.

BY her enviable record Of terseness, the

Freewuy Signs Needed

The new Whitehurst Freeway is living
up to the expectations of its sponsors as
an expediter of traffic through the con-
gested Georgetown area. But traffic would
move even more smoothly over it If it were
marked more adequately with signs to
guide motorists unfamiliar with its Key
Bridge exit system.
At present the unwary motorist sud-
denly is confronted with three choices
after dipping beneath the bridge on his
trip westward. He may turn sharply to
the right on the loop which carries traffic,
onto Key Bridge and thence to Virginia,
or he may take a central lane leading
eastward on M street, or, he may take
far left roadway which will enable him
to continue along Canal road to points
west or north. The trouble is that motor
lists using the freeway for the first time
are not informed sufficiently in advance
as to these diverse routes Consequently,
traffic jams and near collisions have been
occurring, especially during rush hours,
as drivers discover themselves headed for
Virginia when they want to enter M street

tried to back up and some have even tried
to turn around in the one-way outlets
with serious repercussions on the traffic
stream.
It is obvious to daily users of the free
way that large signs should be posted some
distance back from the Key Bridge loop
to guide motorists into the proper lanes
for Virginia, M street and Canal road
New York and New Jersey expressways
are marked in this manner, with the result
that traffic flows into exits and entrances
with a minimum of confusion and slow
downs without such directional sys-
tenn the Whitehurst Freeway will not
function as eficiently as its designers
intended when they planned the exits in
the Key Bridge area
