Col. E. W. Jones, patrol commander, said the. new technique is aimed at in creasing the so-called "halo effect" from one to 20 miles or more. He explained the. "halo effect" comes when a motorist slows down at the sight of a patrol car. Experts figure this effect last about a mile and then the motorist speeds up again. Patrolmen in . North Carolina are being equipped with signs which read "Speed Check Zone." The signs are portable so that the troopers can erect them on high ac cident sectors of state primary and secondary roads. ' Later, they can be shifted to another problem highway sector. m . , .... . mw """"I 1992 MADISON GRADUATET A prospective ltsV graduate of Madison High School is pictured above' in her mother's arms with bar proud r father' -assisting.

Chandler told board members that prospects for two federal planning bills now in Congress "look much better for passage this session than it did a few months ago." He said both bills, one in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives, have been reported out of committee but have not yet been scheduled time for floor debate. "We've got to indoctrinate the motoring public ao that when they see a sign, they will know that without fail there will be one or more troopers clocking speeds during the 20 miles," said Capt D. R. Emory, the patrol's research and planning officer. "A motorist may see two or three troopers during the first 10 miles, but he can't relax or afford to rusume an excess speed because there may be two or three more troopers tbe last 10 miles," Emory con tinued, 1. . , , .
