Continued from first page)
could not remember one single ac-
cident, involving Masten drivers,
that was investigated by the Sails
bury Police, and he congratulated
the drivers on this record, such an
extraordinary one, that it is al
most unheard Of Chief Chatham
stated that during 1855 the City
of Salisbury investigated approx
imately $50 accidents requiring an
average investigating time of four
to five hours each, and that it is a
pleasure to have drivers of this
calibre in Salisbury and in the
State of Maryland.
Charles ]. Quinlan, safety engi-
neer for New Amsterdam Casualty
Company, also congratulated the
drivers upon their remarkable rec
ord and commented that he had
never seen a better record in his
years of experience. Mr.. Quinlan
showed the men a very interesting
and stimulating film about drivers
and their mental attitudes, entit-
led, "The League of Frightened
Men" He likewise demonstrated
a psychophysical testing machine
that among other things, tests a
drivers eyes and his reaction
time.
H. J. Shafer, vice president of
Masten Trucking Company, also
congratulated the drivers upon
their wonderful record and thank
ed them for the conscientious at
titude which they have shown in
leading Masten Trucking Company
in high way safety.
Leslie Davidson. safety director
for the company, acted as M. G. for
the banquet, and also expressed his
appreciation to the drivers for
making his job an easier one. He
introduced Thomas Cahall, Sails
bury terminal manager, and III. G.
Robbins, manager of the Cam
bridge terminal, and congratulated
them for the active and inspira-
tional leadership which they have
given to their men.
This was the third consecutive
year that either the Salisbury or
Cambridge terminals had earned
the right to this safety banquet.
Forty-four persons, including
wives, were in attendance.

In the meantime the Division of
Tests is furnishing information
concerning the type and condition
of the land to be used for the prof.
ect and the Right-Of-Way Division
is procuring any land needed for
the project.
The Construction Division en-
ters the picture with the compile
tion and approval of the plans for
the project by noting if any utility
lines must be changed or moved,
and then holding a conference with
the Representatives of the utilities
concerning these changes.
Following the awarding of con-
tract for the project these Divisions
continue in action The Division of
Tests must examine all materials
to be used ON the project before
they are used and also make many
tests of these materials while the
work is in progress.
The Construction Division is in
charge of the project while the
construction work is in progress
with the inspectors for the project
being provided by the County Divi-
sion of the county in which the
project is located.
In event the project was being
partially financed by Federal Aid,
then the Federal Ai5 and Research
Division was engaged on the prof.
ect from the time the plans were
completed until the project is ac-
cepted and placed in service.
In the meantime the Admins
trative section of the Chief En-
gineer's office is following the cost
of the project to see that this cost
remains within the Limitations set
aside for the work.
Most of the planning for the CO.
operation between the various Di-
visions on project is provided at
staff conferences conducted by Mr.
Haber at which each activity in the
project is reviewed and the Divi-
sion heads leave those conferences
knowing just what is expected of
their Division concerning the prof.
ect and the estimated dates when
their work on III is to be completed.
When Mr.. Haber rearranged the
members Of his staff recently, and
changed some of the Division
heads, he explained that he was
seeking a competent staff to han
die the large amount of construc-
tion that was confronting the High
way Department in the immediate
future.

Orange Puts Lock
On District II
Football Title

Orange clamped a strangle hold
on first place in the District II
football race with their 10 win over
PoWhatan Friday night The Orange
Hornets have eight district wins
with no defeats so they have virtu-
ally scwed up first place honors
Orange will play two more games
and both of these will be District
II contests The Hornets meet Abe
marie this week and travel to Fred
el.cksbu"g the following week. Abe
marie has a strong team and could
possibly upset the Hornets nest
However. the possibility of James
Monroe upsetting h e powerful
Orange team is very remote. Both
teams would have to defeat Orange
before there would be any change
in the firm grip Orange has on
title.
About the only contest left in the
district is the individual scoring
honciS.
Scoring Breaks 100
Carson RoSher zo0med to the lead
by scoring 20 points in the Thomas
Dale victory over Dorglas Freeman

Is followed by Johnny Boggs and
Archie Goodwin of PoWhatan. who
have q and 90 points respectively
