LUMINOUS CENTERLINES
FOR MONTANA HIGHWAYS

Plans for painting luminous cen
terline strips on Montana HIGHWAYS
and for placing standard highway
signs, as approved by the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway
Officials, on the states highways
during the summer have been dis
closed by state maintenance en-
gineer Ray Percy
Percy said that the state has pur-
chased $4,000 gallons of the see-it-
at-night paint for the centerIine
job, and that highway crews will
begin the job about June /.
Percy said, "it is hoped soon to
have all signs reflectorized for
highest visibility by night drivers. .
He also said, unnecessary and
obsolete signs lessen the authority
of all signs and it is desired that
each district undertake sign sur
vey with the object of marking for
early removal all such signs.
Identical road conditions shall
always have the same application
of signs regardless of where they
OCCUR"

THE HUMAN RACE

Trifles, it has been said, make
up the sum of human things.
Americas miserable traffic ac-
cident record is, in a sense, the
sum of all our trifling human frail-
ties. Most of us know how to drive
and walk with safety, but it is Sc
human to let our absurd little per-
sonal foibles botch our better judg-
ment.
In their 1949 book of street and
highway accident data The Trav-
elers Insurance Companies have
recognized this fact. The grim re-
cord of traffic deaths and injuries
is all there, in tabular form, but
the booklet is lightened by a pic
torial presentation of the probable
cause of many of the accidents.
There is the fellow who breaks
every ordinance in the book to get
home in 284S minutes flat, only to
read a comic book during the min
ute and a half he saves. There is
the teen-ager who knows every rule
in the baseball book but none of
the laws on the traffic books. And
the woman who can spot a nylon
stocking sale from four aisleS away
but can't see red traffic light
right in front of her nose.
We're all there, mirrored in at
least one of the cartoons!
Let us hope this SLY satire will
succeed in personalizing the les
sons of safety where Sterner warn
ingS have failed.
