Fifty Mine Area
Persons Have Found
Summer Employment

Men and women of Shallmar and
Kitzmiller, at least so of them will
have work this summer, as the result
of activity of J. Paul Andrick, school
teacher there, a committee of citi-
zens, and the U. S. Employment SER
vice.
Thirty of them are already at work
in Hampstead, Carroll county, en-
ployes of the Melrose Canning COM
pany, and they may continue working
until sometime in October.
1t is different work from what the
men and women have been accus-
toned in that mining area, but it may
tide them over what could have been
an unproductive period.
A letter from P. D. Gradman, COM
pany representative to Mr.. Andrick
started the project several weeks ago.
The company paid the expenses Of Il
committee to make the trip to Hamp-
stead and look over the prospects.
That committee included Mr.. and
Mrs. George E. Brady and Sam Task
er, Jr. The committee found that the
Canning company would furnish
shelter to those who came to work,
that entire families could come, and
that jobs would hold out until De-
tobcr for those interested.
Andrick said yesterday that so had
already agreed to go, that 80 were al
ready there, and that few more
could be used.

REASON FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNS
Every Traffic Sign and Signal
Has Definite Reason
For Being There
NECESSARY CONTROLS

"You can't shrug off traffic
signs!" Mr.. F. ]. Ashton, Assistant
Manager of the Delaware Safety
Council told Delaware's drivers to-
day as the Delaware Safety Coun-
ellis August program of traffic
safety education moved into its
second week.
"You can bet your bottom dol
lar" he said, that every traffic
sign and signal you pass on the
highway has a definite reason for
being where it is. The hospitals
and cemeteries are full of ex-driv-
ers who shrugged off some sign on
the mistaken notion that whoever
put it there didn't know what he
was doing"
A great many intersections hav-
ing "Stop" signs are receptively
safe-looking, according to the Ma
tional Safety Council, but have a
bloody history behind them that
necessitated the original installa-
tion of these controls, the Delaware
Safety Council reports.
In the same way, each speed
limit and warning sign is silent
testimonial to days and weeks of
investigation and testing by traffic
experts in their efforts to deter
mine at what speed, and under
what conditions, the road may be
safely travelled. Entering into this
are studies of the roads surface;
what effects various weather con-
ditions have on it; topography of
the country through which the
road travels; principles of inertia;
and other factors that seldom oc-
cur to the average driver.
