THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD
Hocutt Explains
Warning Signs
Polniitig out that tens of thus
a ads of North Curolliia motorists do
not know the meaniag of the vari
ous types ot' wraiiiK signs which
toe. State places alongside the high
! ways.v Ronald Hocutt, director ot
i the High Safety Division, this week
j explained tlte meanings of the more
1 common types-of warning signs en
i countered by drivers.
I The three tylies of signs se n most
j frequently. Hocutt said, are dianion
shaped signs, square signs, and oc
! tagonal ot tight sided signs, ail
l? ?v'?t oJ* ijyMovinv fttt 't tttllDtt
1 background.
Diamond signs tndaiv redtfee
1 Speed; These signs are used where
: permanent physical dangers always
j require a reduction of speed fof
| safety. Hocutt said. Such signs may
designate curves^ daugcious v inter>
sections, sudden dtps in the road, or
narrow bridges.
Square signs mean caaution. . the
) safety director explained. These
signs are used to draw your atten
lion to road conditions requiring
you to driae with extreme care. Fo>
example, men working in the roadway.
school zones' or. other places
on the highway that require mora
than ordinary care on the part o!
drivers are marked by square shap
ed signs.
Octagonal or eight-sided signs
mean STOP. Hocutt emphasized
These signs are generally found
near dangerous intersections and
juctions.
"A stop sign means that you must
bring your car to a complete halt,'
Hocutt said. "Slowing down is not
enough. And after stopping you
should use great care in entering
j the main road."
I Then, of course, there are round
signs, which mean railroad crossings.
Hound signs always mean stop
look and listen. Tven at crossings
where the law does not require you
to stop, good sense suggests thai
you- stop, 'Hocutt asserted.
"North Carolina's accident rate
could be reduced materially," he
added, "if every driver in this statu
understood and heeded every high
way sign erected by the' State. Motrists
must learn that diamond
signs mean reduce speed, square
signs mean caution, and octagonal
signs mean stop. And the sooner
thqv learn this, the safer they will
be."'
AMERICANS ALL
Franklin p. Roosevelt might well
give thauks to Wendell L. Wilkie.
We sight all the people of the Unit
ed States. '
For nobody can say this election
went by default for "lack of a truly
democratic airing of the issues or
; public interest and of representation
of the differences of opinions within
thn n ci t ir?n
Mr. Roosevelt, forced to campaign
clarified his policies of the past and
his promises for the future to the
better understanding of his fellowcitizens.
" *"
Mr. Wilkie gave an example to
those same fellow-citizens by his ac
ceptance of the election result in
the best traditions of American
sportsmanship.
It Is an election tor Americana
to be proud of?and to be thankful
for. . . ' " .
The buying power of the average
American factory worker Is estlma
ted at 60 per cent higher Today than
In 1914.
