TO SAVE YOUR LIFE,
HEED "SIGNS OF LIFEw

This is the theme of the Montana
Highway Patrols June traffic cam
paign.
Our goal is to bring home to
both motorists and drivers the fact
that traffic signs, signals, and pave
ment markings are installed for
their protection and guidance only
after study by traffic engineers has
established the advisability Of
Them" E. H.. England, Supervisor
said.
This June project is a part of the
year-round Operation Safety pro-
gram sponsored nationwide by the
National Safety Council.
"In spite of the fact that our
traffic signs, signals and pavement
markings cover almost every situa-
ton that the motorist or pedestrian
is likely to encounter, the regular
ity with which they are ignored
is appalling. A conscientious obser-
vance of these signs would be a big
step in reducing our traffic accident
Mr.. England said.
He pointed out that the June
campaign reminds motorists and
pedestrians that "Signs of Life" are
easily recognized by their distinct
i've shapes, even at a distance that
makes their lettering illegible
Ignoring these signs" Mr.. Eng
land said, "is like driving with your
head tucked under the dashboard,
and it makes just about as much
sense. Our hope is to convince
drivers and pedestrians that they
should have more than a nodding
with these markings"

Negro Player;
Second Sought
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The New
York Yankees yesterday signed their
first Negro baseball player-Out-
fielder Luis Marquee of the Balti-
more Elite Giants-and became the
sixth major league club to hire a
Negro athlete.
Marquee, 23-year-old centerfelder.
Is hitting about $3.50" with the
Aouadilla Club OF the Puerto Rican
Winter League. He will report to
the Newark Bears, q Yankee farm,
next month at their Haines City,
Fla, Spring training base.
Negotiations almost are completed
by the Yanks for another Negro
star, Artie Wilson, 28-year -old short
stop-manager of the leading Maya
guez team of the Puerto Rican
League. The Birmingham Black
Barons own his contract.
When signed, Wilson also will join
Newark. He is hitting 372 in Puerto
Rico and led the Negro American
League in 1s47 and 1948 with .377
and .404.
Since Branch Hickey Of the Brook
lyn Dodgers broke baseball's un-
written law by signing Jackie Robin
son for Montreal in 1916, the other
club owners have followed his lead.
The New York Giants, Boston
Braves, Cleveland. Brooklyn and
Yankees now employ colored players
either In the majors or their farm
systems. The st. Louis Browns tried
out two in 1947 but released both.

Washington and Lees athletic

q final decision on q successor to

ball coach.
A university athletic ofiicial who
would not permit use of his name
said the council would consider the
names Of three candidates cleared
for the post at a meeting Of the
five-member screening" commit
tee Tuesday.
The three are Crowell Little
freshman coach at the University
of North Carolina: George Barclay
line coach at Maryland, and En-
sign Benjamin Martin, plebe coach
at the Naval Academy.
Martin is believed to stand only
an outside chance of landing the
coaching Job. Council sentiment
for Little and Barclay was said to
be "about evenly divided"
Both Little and Barclay are
North Carolina graduates and
starred in football there. Barclay
was an all-America guard for the
Tar Heels in 1894. Little was tall
back and signal-caller for the 1887
Carolina team which won the
Southern Conference title.
All three OF the remaining candi-
dates have been here within the last
two weeks to be interviewed by
members of the athletic council.
There was no indication tonight
when the councils decision would
be made public. Presumably 1t
would not be until the board Of

formality.
