On an average, each of our 48 states spent
$4,000 last year on sign repair and replace
ment.
One Eastern highway engineer commented
recently, ''If a hunter fails to get his limit in
game, he doesn't have to return home empty
handed There're always highway signs to
be bagged."
Many states have discontinued the use
of reflector buttons SO necessary to
nighttime road safety. The reason: but
tons have a special attraction for vandals.
New Mexico reports that most of its reflectors
become decorations for Indian belts and sad
dies
Often the destructiveness of motorists con-
founds the experts. A perplexed maintenance
engineer from Minnesota reported an 'unex-
plainable incident" involving young couple
in car who spent night uprooting all the
warning signs along 20-mile strip of trunk
highway, and piling them behind school,
house. "It was tough job" he said, and
all they did was endanger thousands of lives"
North Carolina recently used an ingenious
method to discourage sign mutilator. A
signing crew strongly suspected rural filing

marker for the ninth time, they carted the
bullet-riddled marker into the filling station.

deaths. And their destruction adds up to

they casually told the operator.
The station man was indignant - but no
new sign has been needed in that vicinity for
the past six months.
In Colorado, one weary sign crew saved it
self months of work along 100-mile stretch
of desolate highway. Alongside each highway
marker, crewmen erected a large bull's-eye.
The wrong Way
BUT there's nothing funny about this busi-
ness of monkeying with road signs In
Louisiana, a motorist plunged off the high
way and was instantly killed because wag
had loosened the bolts on curve warning

In Wisconsin. two person were killed at an
intersection because someone had removed
an arterial STOP sign. Recently teen-ager
was killed and his companion seriously in
jured in Oregon when vandals stole DANGER

forest road. Unmindful of the big trucks,
the youths smashed headlong into one of the
goliaths
A jokester in Virginia turned STOP sign
on a secondary road so that it appeared to
require motorists to stop on the heavily
travelled highway. An out-of-stater obeyed
the sign and was crushed to death when
truck rammed him from the rear.
Most states have penalties for sign
mutilation. California, with surpris-
ingly low sign-destructiOn score, has the
stiffest penalty - $500 or six months i'm
Jail, or both. But from every state in the
Union, the word is that sign vandals are
harder to lay hands on than Indian-head pen

state laws require officers to catch a vandal in
the act.

OCCASIONALLY, however. mutilators are
apprehended. Recently in New Hampshire,
alert police officers noted few souvenir signs

An arrest was made and the municipal judge
not only fined the youth and his two COM
