Gentlemen:
The citizens of Ohio have
shown profound interest in the
highways of their state. not onlv
from the point of adequacy, but
as safe and pleasant appearing
highways.
One of the most difficult pro-
biems is that of keeping right
of way free of unauthorized
signs, especially commercial
advertising.
Signs upon the right of way
are Objectionable for a number
of reasons.
They create driver distraction
with the resultant accident pot
entail.
They tend to create a dis
regard for essential signs install
led to direct and control travel.
In short, no sign is effective once
the saturation point is reached.
Signs placed on the inside Of
curves, at road functions and
built up areas restrict driver
view.
Signs mar the appearance of
what might otherwise be a beau
tiful stretch of highway.
The owners of signs can be
held liable for accident or injury
resulting from the illegal plac-
ing of such objects on public
right of way.
Section 4511.16 of the Ohio
Laws prohibits the placing of
unauthorized signs upon the
right of way of state highways
and Section 5515.03 requires the
owner tC remove such signs or
Instructions.
The problem is now so accute

Heroes of Faith--Noah

1t is said that Noah found
grace in the eyes of God" (Gen-

much meaning when we con-

that the wickedness of man was
great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually" Noah lived
among men who were sensual,
corrupt in their thoughts and
acts, and ungodly. Yet, he walk

In Genesis SO we read that
Noah was a just man and per

a righteous, law abiding man.

TOO BIG A HURRY

We are kindly asking the oc
presidents to please take time off
and read the application blanks be-
fore filling them out. We have one
form that is used for new members
only, one kind for duplicate policies,
one kind for renewals for the cur
rent Quarter and another kind for
back renewals. By Back" we mean
members who have been out of the
Association ninety days and more.
1t is really expensive to have to
write two and three times to a local
president about a matter that could
have be- adjusted in the first
place. had the president taken time
to read the blank before filling il
out. I think the proper thing to do
is to have few of each kind of APP
plication blanks on hand.
1t is nothing new to fill out re
newal blanks for members who fail
to pay on or before the date of the
Board, but we have some presidents
who invariably send in the names Of
the applicants ana the money and
when we send the blanks back to
them to fill out, they will not return
them. l am sure if some of the local
presidents knew the tremendous a
mount Of unnecessary work that
some of them cause us in the office
that they would stop right now and
make a New Years Resolution to do
better in 1854.
Some of you complain about the
trouble you have with your mem
bers, but you have not seen anything
yet. If you were to work one day
in the office, you would become a.
harmed just as tn General Presi-
dent, Mr. G. D. Cotton, who assisted

Two acts featuring divers anc
water ballerinas have been drop
ped from the program Of the
Presidents Cup Regatta because
the Potomac River is so badly
polluted.
Cancellation Of the acts was
triggered by DR.. Daniel L. Seek

of persons will broadcast the
very erroneous ana dangerous
idea that it is safe to swim In
the Potomac River in the Wash
