.... We unpacked all our stuff
yesterday and are completely
straightened out now .
.... We sent some clothes to a
German cleaners, a few dresses,
and some of Bud's uniforms. And it
cost nearly $15. So we'll send them
to the GI Laundry from now on.
The engineers hooked up my ma
chine yesterday and I'm sure glad
... It works fine. The sewing ma
chine and radio do too. The elec
Itricity here is 220 and since our
I stuff is 110 we bought a large trans
I former for the washing machine.
I It's about the size of our radio. And
a real tiny one for all other appli
ances.
' .... I really miss our TV. Some
people have them here. The Ger
| mans sell them for the same prices
as the States. I don't know how
good they work.
.... A boy at Fort McPherson
is singing on the radio now. We get
the Army stations and they're
brought in from all over the world. I
We listened to people in Japan a |
while ago.
.... The Germans come around i
to the house twice a week, selling j
beer, cokes and lemonade ? only
it tastes like our orangeade.
5. July, 1955
.... I bought a book yesterday.
"The Berlitz Self -Teacher Ger
man". so maybe I can learn Ger
man.
.... This house isn't as easy to
keep as Fort Mac. The rugs are
just the shades tha show piece of
lint and dust. We bought a Bisselle
it's a sort of broom on wheels or
something, to clean the rugs with.
It seems like March today. It's
so windy and cold enough for long
coats. All it does is rain or get cold.
July 4th was just another day
here. Since the Americans cele
brate it in Japan, we thought they
would here, but they don't.
Bud didn't have to work so we
went into Augsburg car-shopping.
They were all too high? but on the
way home, the taxi driver said a
friend had a Mercedes to sell for

! .... Bud and I are learning
German togteher. It Is lots of fun. j
We talk German to each other and
' Debbie looks like she's scared to
death.
When we take her downtown the
Germans all stop and look at her
' and the stroller and talk to her in |
German. She looks scared, but
] then she'll laugh.
.... Bud was put in charge of
our building the day we moved in.
I It is a 16-apt., four-story oblong
building. There are laundry rooms
drying rooms, maid's rooms, gar
; bage cans, storage rooms and he's
| got to see that they're all kept
clean and the garbage cans washed
| daily, all the halls and stairwells ?
as they call stairways here- kept
clean and the outside of the build
ing and yard kept clean. The medi
cal and billeting men come and in
spect once a month and grade us.
So a German came to us tonight
and he's going to send a housemis
ter over every day. He's a sort of
janitor. He charges 140 marks a
month, or $32. So every family
will pay a little more than $2 to
him, we hope. I think most of them
will.
I've met some of the women and
they seem real nice, but they're all
pregnant or fat and on diets so
guess I wont have anyone to eat
with.
.... I wish you could be here
now.. Tou'd freeze to death. It
looks just like snow. It's so cold
and windy and everyone has on
their long coats. The Germans say
this is typical German. July.

Red Stop Signs Replace
Old Yellow Ones In N.C.
BY BILL CROWELL
RALEIGH ? Red traditionally ,
warns of danger. Capitalizing on >
this psychological impact. Tar |
Heel traffic safety engineers are j
beginning to use it to save lives ?
the lives of many of the persons j
statistically doomed to die in traf- j
fic accidents.
Gradually, being erected across |
the streets and highways of North
Carolina is a new reflectorized, red
sign that conveys the unmistakable
warning: "STOP."
As the old style yellow signs
wear out. Highway Commission
Workers replace them with bright
new red ones. At critical intersec
tions the red signs are being instal
led immediately.
And it's a good thing. Of last
year's 12,681 intersectional acci
dents, the Motor Vehicles Depart
ment reports 99 were fatal and
2,403 involved personal injury.
The vehicles agency also finds
that some 500 motorists a month
are arrested for ignoring stop
signs.
These are the accidents and vio
lations traffic authorities expect
the Red signs to reduce. Not only is
it strikingly evident during day
light, but at night, reflecting the
lights from the on coming driver's
car, it glows with a brightness that
makes it 100 times brighter than
I' paint.
At least 30 states and many cities
are using the new signs, following
j North Carolina's lead in seeking
ways to stop traffic deaths and in
juries.
J Actually the idea of red stop
I signs is not new at all ? they
were recommended by traffic saf
banner's Rites
Held At River Hill
1' Funeral services for the Rev.
Roscoe V. Danner, who died Aug
, ust 20. at his home in Copperhill,
jTenn., were held August 22 at Cop
perhill Baptist Church of which he
was a member. Burial was in the
cemetery at River Hill.
The Rev. L C. Cutts and M. C.
Ferguson officiated. Pallbearers
were Wade Thompson, Howard
' Thompson, George Ray, Jack
I Long. Vestie Burgess and Lance
1 juinn. Ch as tain Funeral Home of
. Blue Ridge, Ga., was in charge.
Danner was born and raised in
; the River Hill community where he
I joined the River Hill Church at an
early age. He is buried beside his
J first wife, the late Sallie Hamby
| He was ordained to the ministry
' after moving to Copperhill to make
his home.
Surviving are the second wife.
Pearl Danner; one son, Carl and
one daughter, Mrs. Leona Patter
son by the first marriage; and
eight grandchildren; one brother,
Lester Danner of Duck town, Tenn. ;
two sisters, Mrs. Pearlie Ledford

Parkway Travel
Show Iaereaw
According to figures Just releaa
ed by Sam P. Wee mi. Superinten
dent of the Blue Ridge Parkway,
772.202 persons in 227.9* carl
traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway
during the month of July.
This la an increase of SM.ia or
U.I per cent over June at lies and
17.175 or 1.1 per cent over July at
ety officials back in 1924. But at |
that time two factors stalled their j
general adoption. Red pigments |
then available faded too rapidly ;
and. at night, red was difficult to I
see.
Yellow then was selected as the
standard color because it was re
latively color fast and somewhat
easier to see after nightfall. But
its major disadvantage, which in
creased over the years, was that it
was too often confused with num
erous other yellow traffic signs. As
a result more and more drivers
failed to heed it. a fact borne out
by the increased number of stop
sign arrests. 1
The traditional use of red to sig
nify a complete stop was never de
bated, but various technical diffi
culties prevented the universal use
of red signs until several years
ago.
Now the movement is underway
in North Carolina. But highway
authorities can't replace the yel
low stop signs with bright new red
ones until the yellow signs wear
out, without being accused of
| waste.
| On a dull afternoon last winter a
mother and her two daughters
were driving in a car driven by a'
friend. They approached an inter- 1
section still dependent on the yel- 1
low sign to protect motorists. It
was twillight and very difficult to
see. The driver of the car told
troopers later he failed to see the
stop sign in the dim light. An ap
proaching car forced him to make
a sharp turn and the car skidded
into a stop sign on the other side
of the road and tipped over. Hie
mother died instantly. The two
girls were seriously injured.
This is the type of accident Tar
Heel Safety Officials are determin- 1
ed to avoid with their new vivid red
stop sign. |
